The #Packers have signed Northwest Missouri State cornerback Travis Manning (5-11, 196) and announce Ty Montgomery has signed his deal
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Just confirmed @RobDemovsky's report that Packers area scout Lee Gissendaner is now national college scout for NY Jets.

Good for him. Nice to see members of the Packers front office being recognized for their success.
He has been in GB a long time. It is a real loss, as he was reported to be one of the real solid scouts that have made the Packers so successful. But, the packers seem to find (or develop) good scouts one after another, and the history of Packer scouts moving on to bigger and better things will attract the good ones to GB.

Maybe he's got a son the Packers can hire. Did you notice this year that Elliot Wolf was more front-and-center than ever before? He's certainly rising through the ranks.
I don't know if it's the quality of the scouts or the intensity of focus throughout the organization, but the Packers seem to scour the bushes more thoroughly than other organizations - there they go again, this time signing another corner who'd been in two other teams' rookie camps. Of course, the vast majority do not end up on the team, and fewer still as significant contributors, but in a game whose rules are based on achieving parity, any talented stone you can unearth is an advantage.

Apropos of International Fútbol only, I am pretty sure the guy in charge of Reuters headlines and Twitter has been trolling Sepp Blatter for two straight days.

Per @PFF_Steve (thanks for the data, man!), NFL teams had 5 or more DBs on the field on 60% of plays. 4 DBs on 38.2%. Slot CBs are starters.
UNSOUND!
Those rough and tumble Seahawks were in nickel 49% of the time.
Speaking of unsound, I just got a chill thinking about the Steelers playoff loss to Tebow and how it mirrored the Packers lost to the Seachickens in some ways.
Wilson is more than Tebow, but the similarities of their best routes and throws, and the manner in which LeBeau and Capers attacked their O just gave me great pause.

He was unstable. I thought that was part of the point.
Me too. I honestly thought Simmons was either either straight-up crazy or mean as a scorned woman. That was the appeal of watching him...you never knew if he was going to pull a gun out and shoot someone a la "Last Boy Scout" or just drag a RB by the arm and lift him up so he could throw him down with more force. IN THE METRODOME.
In this day he probably would have been dinged a couple of rounds and drafted later for failing the psych tests. I kind of miss him.
