Tony Gonzalez A Packer?

My big problem with Bostick is I've never seen his crimes. He flashed a little in pre-season, must've had a bad game in late pre or the early season and is now buried. They want Rodgers II to get any of the extra (or two TE) reps and Bostick never sees the field.

You know he's made grievous errors, but you don't know what they are.

I know he ran a few routes wrong in training camp practices, but was playing in the preseason games until he got hurt in the 2nd game. There was no indication at the time though that he wouldn't be able to get on the field once the injury was healed. This one is a puzzlement.

NFL History 101:

A few years ago, another CBS studio analyst wanted to come out of retirement late in the season to play for a contender. His name was Neon Deion, one of my childhood heroes.

Sanders wanted to play for Oakland, yes, Oakland. Problem was, the Redcoats still had Deion's rights and they had to first release him before he could join the Raiders - the Redcoats humbly complied. At that time, vested veterans of NFL wars still had to clear waivers. Oakland, led by McCarthy pupil, Rich Gannon, was sitting pretty with a nice record when they called Sanders. Division rival, San Diego (started season 6-2, still in contention at the time, but on the verge of an epic meltdown), foiled the plan by claiming Sanders.

Prime Time chose to remain in the booth rather than play for the hapless Chargers. A year later, he unretired to bang for Baltimore.

Moral of the story? People change their mind about retirement all the time.

That makes Gonzalez a solid 50% bet that he comes back this year. I'll take those odds.

Because old vets talk about coming back ALL the time, but circumstances don't always agree with them.
