What ya think is next Packer News?

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Sure is getting boring reading about past posters, teams still in the playoffs which I give a shit about, and whether WB is crazy or not. What do you think is the next Packer news?

1) Some coach gets canned?

2) Some player(s) gets canned?

3) Some player(s) gets paid in FA?

4) TT actually goes after a new FA?

5) Something else?

or is it time to turn off TV until draft?

Slocum will get fired tomorrow.

[denverYooper]

And then some players will be allowed to walk in FA with no attempt to re-sign. The Packers won't say anything, but it'll be obvious by their lack of action who they felt gave up this year.

Ben McAdoo will take an OC position with another team.

[smuggler]

Did the Packers give McAdoo permission to interview for any OC jobs? He doesn't need permission to interview for HC jobs.

After McAdoo, it will be Raji visiting other teams, and looking very round and large. Show me whatcha got, whatcha got Raji!

yuck, nothing to do until march 11. then we'll just get to watch other teams sign our old guys

feb 17 is when teams can start to use the franchise tag. i could see the team using it on shields, if not raji to do a sign and trade. i think it would be awesome if we could somehow get a 2nd rounder for BJ

what we do know, if TT is at the shrine game for the whole week for the first time ever is that he's not hard at work trying to resign his own guys

[Maxie the Taxi]

I think red said it. This time of year it's interesting to speculate on new players, new systems, etc. etc. But it all is academic. Stubby is named Stubby for a reason.

Well...pitchers and catchers report soon and since MLB officiating is black and white (even the strike zone is coming together with computer aided grades), that will hold me over until TC next year.

The Packers can't prevent him since he didn't renew his contract last year. In other words, he bet on himself and put himself in a position to move up.

He has a contract guy and a cell phone. I doubt he is out of touch. If they aren't talking, its for other reasons, not availability.

B&W compared to what, figure skating?

Get back to me when replay is available. Its the only sport besides tennis and volleyball that lends itself naturally to replay.

I agree they need to use replay more, but the calls are black and white. No one says...ack, that isn't pass interference, I can't believe you just flipped the field on one call. On replay, its black and white. Sometimes the umps miss a call, but there is NO debate. You simply don't have an umpire given the power to put a player from the plate to 3rd base on a subjective call, yet in football, a PI call can put a team from the 50 to the 1. A holding call can turn 1st and goal from the 5 into 2nd and 20 from the 40. Yet half the holding and PI calls are debatable. Just like I got sick of the NBA allowing superstars to use the offhand to screen a guy, or take extra steps, then calling the 7th man for the same thing, I am getting sick of seeing one OT hold a guy, and a different one getting called for less of a penalty.

This is why I was so fired up about the headbutt. Its a black and white call. Not calling it one way, but calling it the other was a joke. I burnt out on the NBA after hearing the announcers for the 1000th time explain that you have to put a few seasons in before you get that call.
