possible shit-storm for finley...

Sigh...here we go again.

Honestly who gives a F what Finley agent thinks? I know one person that doesn't and thats ARod.

I think he would to a certain degree. If an agent is out there disparaging ARod, it lessens the chance of a player represented by that agent signing with GB that they may be pursuing and thus preventing talent from coming to GB. A little bit a stretch I realize but still plausible.

That got me thinking. It has often been said that Rodgers is very cognizant of who says what about him, and he never forgets those who criticize him.

Well, learned a small lesson about reporters the last two days. Baratz's comments in and of them self merited only Wilde's brief mention in a story about Rodgers and Cutler after the game (mainly wrapped around Bruschi's comments) and they got a writeup in USAToday.

However, everyone wanted to talk to James Jones in the locker room about the incident and ask him about Baratz's comments indirectly. Jones said Rodgers apologized after Jones told him it was unnecessary, he knew it was his fault. Jones said it was lunacy to question Rodgers leadership and that he loved him.

Not sure if anyone took the agents comments directly to Finley.

So they don't want to run a story if its a step removed from the team and a step removed from those involved. Which is understandable, among other things it would prevent outsiders from hijacking media coverage. But given the way stories break and agents are often sources, I wonder what other hook they need before they will run with a story when no one directly involved on the team will comment. Because that happens frequently.

Twitter is hardly useless if you know how to use it.

can you give a tutorial in the Romper Room? Seriously, I'm not on Twit or Facebook. #WTF? @mraynrand - why am I here?

On twitter not only can you follow your favorite players and celebrities but you can also follow guys like Adam Schefter, John Clayton, and other Packers beat writers to get info before they even put them on the main sites. Also you can follow CNN and other sites and get world news as soon as it happens. Its confusing at first but its a nice tool to have once you get the hang of it.

BTW I just deleted my face book account a few days ago, got tired of people posting thousand pictures of their babies clogging up my news feed. That and the fact I spent way too much time on it at work.

That's an excellent question!

LMAO maybe I should reactivate my account now but I hate cats too.

There are two types of Facebook users: the ones who love (or don’t mind) seeing photos of their friends’ children dominate their Newsfeed and the ones who hate seeing the photos of their friends’ children dominate their Newsfeed.
If you fall into that second camp there is now a solution. Yes, you can now de-baby your Facebook Newsfeed.
It’s called Unbaby.me, and it is an extension for Chrome browsers. Grab the extension here, install it via the Chrome store, and it will automatically sub in a photo of a cat when it sees a post or photo of a baby.

I've always heard that cats kill babies.

Can I sign up for the class, or is it private tutoring? Hashtag, I guess (whatever that is) @ something or someone, whatever.

[Pugger]

I don't twit nor am I on Facebook. These message boards and e-mail is enough for me.

[George Cumby]

I used to pooh-pooh all that stuff and then Mission did a good break down on how it's useful and not near as lame as I thought it was.

I still don't Twit or FB but don't disparage it out of hand anymore.

Thats the PR one I had registered a while back. PBMax is driving it right now seeing what he can get into. Maybe we can send him on a torpedo mission to Finley's agent?
