Say it ain't so....

Okay. I've now heard (from news sources) Friday in GB before they leave and Friday in Arlington after they get there. Which one is it? Does anyone know?

GBPG is saying Friday of "Super Bowl week" which is next week not this week.

Edit: Now I see JSO says this Friday though, so take your pick.

Either way, same thing. It's over. This stupid shit is over.

I doubt we'll ever find out, but I don't think it's 'over'.

If I was the coach, there'd be some repercussions for Finley and maybe Barnett. If I was GM, and concerned about 'Packer People' I'd be remembering this at contract time.

Do you let a talent like Finley go over something like this? You'd think no, but remember where Richard Seymour is playing football now...

Seymour's situation was more complicated than a Polariod moment.

I agree about that. I mean the "Packers are big meanies" part is over.

Finley is displaying more of that shitty "me me me" egotistical attitude that he has shown hints of before. Minor stuff, really, but it's still troubling. I could see him testing free agency and going to the highest bidder in a year, whining about the Packers not showing him enough love or some stupid shit.

Just get them in the picture and be done with it. I can't imagine it's a logistical nightmare that can't be resolved.

Homerism aside, bullshit move by the Packers

Just get them in the picture and move on

I don't get the bitterness towards Barnett and Finley. They should be in the picture. Oh well! I'm glad the Packers took care of this.

Don't disagree about them being in the pic at all. Strongly disagree with the way they handled it. To go crying in public over this at this time is ridiculous.

[Little Whiskey]

I was listening a bit to Steve "the Homer" True this afternoon and i like his explaination. the packers didn't want the added distraction of some of the IR players down in dallas before their time to be down there and the NFL schedule says that picture day is tuesday. they didn't think it would be that big of a deal so they didn't try and ask to make a schedule change. i think it got blown out of proportion.

Simple, they should have kept it as an internal issue, not whined about it to the public. If I were their employer, I would look at both as loose canons and would treat them accordingly.

[HarveyWallbangers]

They should have been in the picture. Dumb move by the team. I'm glad they admitted they were wrong and corrected the mistake.

[Patler]

They should have been in the picture.

I don't think anyone disputed that they should be in the picture, but it should have been handled internally.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Finley said they went to the team, and the team wanted no part of what they were selling.

Barnett on twitter: "I was not trying to be a distraction, nor was I downing the organization, they have done so much for me over last 8 years. Just saying I am sad that it worked out the way it did.. This game is bigger then my feelings and my body of work.. It's about "One Goal"!

"This next two weeks is about the unbelievable success of my teammates and last thing I want is to be [is a] distraction," Finley wrote.

Backup offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith(notes) began the year in Seattle and signed with Green Bay on New Year's Eve. He gets to be in the team photo while Finley doesn't?

[HarveyWallbangers]

TGIFinley is happy now.

"I'm excited to be part of team photo," Packers tight end Jermichael Finley tweeted Wednesday. "Now let's get that ring In Dallas!
