      Another classic!
      One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

        Tim Brown An All-Pro HB for the Eagles cut by Lombardi for fumblitus.

        Alex Hawkins Long time pro for the Colts, also cut by Vince in a roster squeeze.

          Some might say Leach leaving was a factor of GB abandoning the power run game. He never did seem to get much respect here, the team wanted him to fill Henderson's role. They were both on the squad for 3 years and Leach couldn't displace him, they both left the same year.

            The guy who pissed me off big time after his stint with the Packers was Terry (I get injured every time I'm tackled) Glenn. Probably because he was playing for Dallas and Parcells and that I knew he was repeatedly taking dives to get out of Green Bay. What a talented hosebag.
            I had totally blanked from my mind that Terry Glenn played for the Packers. He was actually traded to Dallas, wasn't he? What did they get for him?

                How about this one:

                Terrell Buckley

                Played 11 years after GB gave up on him, and got 40 of his 50 career interceptions after leaving GB. For as much as he was despised in GB, he actually had a pretty nice career. Not many guys play 14 years. Not many DBs get 50 interceptions.

                        He sucked for us but he ended up playing for 13 years total.

                          He was traded for a contingent draft pick. As I recall, even though he had a decent year with Dallas, the contingency wasn't met, and GB got nothing. Sherman gave up two 4ths to get him, and got nothing for him after one year.

                              We got a 6th from Dallas after Sherm traded 2 4ths to NE to get him the year before.

                              Sherm's 2004 draft was a classic in ineptitude. Mike "The Mad King" actually traded 8 draft picks in that draft. Among his bigger gems was trading two picks to move up in the 3rd round to draft a punter. Sherm got two useful players in the 6th and 7th round (Scott Wells and Corey Williams) but got nothing from all his "shrewd" manuveurs. After that draft they relieved Shermy of his GM duties and hired Thompson to straighten out the roster and cap.

                                Had a good career with the damn bears. He was cut so the Packers could keep some special teams asshole that was dumped mid-season.
