    My second question is how did I not know Aaron Rodgers was having a twitter fight with Todd McShay before the draft:



    The most obvious reason Rodgers would hold a grudge against Kornheiser, outside of production meetings that the public knows about, is that Kornheiser kept harping on letting Favre go and keeping Rodgers as a questionable decision all through 2008. Even his broadcast partners told TK to let it go. I doubt that sat well with Team Rodgers.

    Wilbon, TKs partner on PTI, is also the one who gave birth to someone's signature for a while: "I am Ted Thompson, and I am smarter than everyone else".
    I think McShay was just brought it to be the anti-Mel. They wanted someon who could argue back and forth with Kiper. A guy I really grew to like during this last draft (despite he used to be a Viking) was Corey Chavous. He told Mayoc that Joe Hayden was going to run a slower 40 and was right. He was calling late round (~5-6 round) picks before they came up and he had lots of good information on obscure prospects during the 7th round while Mayoc was off gargling salt water somewhere. I'm starting to put more weight on what Chavous says than any other draft "expert".

      I don't find him right about much. I find him repeating conventional wisdom.
      You ever listen to his radio show?

        I think it's funny that the tables are getting turned on some of these talking heads.

          I like that too. Football players, for better or worse are free to be judged. It's accepted.

          But what about dard-dog and the irresponsible story twisting sisters at JS? Who writes about what jokes they are? I would love a site that graded not only the accuracy of the facts, but the spin too. I think JS would be the Tavaris Jackson of media groups, just bad.

            Kornhole might be a tool but Rodgers should still keep his mouth shut and not make comments like this. All it does is make AR sound arrogant to his detractors.

              I agree. It's not right that players are expected to sit and take criticism from all these guys without retort. It should be a two-way street.

              Thompson should jump on the bandwagon too.

                William Henderson waited more than a decade to let Mel Kiper have it. That was awesome.

                    I'm curious. When did this happen?
                    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

                      I thought it was during the 09 draft. Not exactly sure.

                          Here's a novel idea: Screw the three man booth. It's one person too many. Just two guys, one doing color, one calling the game. And the guy calling the game should pay attention to the damn game. Yes, I want to know if the nickel guy who's been on the field the last two nickel situations has been replaced by someone else. Yes, I want to know what the injury to the second string guard was.

                          And color guy, shut the hell up about Brett Favre when you are broadcasting a Packers' game this season. He is not on the team. Hasn't been for a couple of years.

                              I think the dude has a little chip on his shoulder. I like it.

                                I finally got the interview to work and I agree...I hope Brett comes back this year because we're gonna sweep their sorry asses.
