    Abbrederis would be an added wrinkle the Chargers may not have anticipated.

    Its normally hard to predict concussions.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

      I can't run no more
      With that lawless crowd
      While the killers in high places
      Say their prayers out loud
      But they've summoned, they've summoned up
      A thundercloud
      They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

        Rodgers toes the line - sometimes crosses it - between cocky and confident. When reporters question his play or how he responds after playing poorly, his tongue sharpens up a bit when because he is sensitive to what is said/written about him. I'd say he's maybe more sensitive than he should be, but it also defines the edge that is a big part of what makes him so great. "Snark-cloaked self-awareness" seems like a decent description to that sensitivity.

        When a reporter asks a snark-cloaked question that he deems has an underlying critical tone - right or wrong - he'll respond with what he deems an equally snark-cloaked answer.

        "Are you going to turn up the intensity after sucking last week?"
        "No dumbshit. I don't freak out and change my approach when I have one bad game. They happen every year at some point. I'm going to return to the same high level of play that no one else in the history of the game has achieved on a consistent basis - because my preparation is consistent every week and that's why I'm the best there's ever been. Get over your loaded questions designed to elicit a response I'm not going to give you so you can manufacture non-existent drama to make me look like a chicken little or throw my guys under the bus and help you sell a story."

        I agree that those that have said Cohen is really good. He didn't score any points with Rodgers with that comment, but I don't think he crossed any lines of professional ethic or respect as McGinn routinely does in his annual Thompson interview and his "Is there enough intelligence in this room?" lines of questioning.

          Good post

            You know since Cliff took up writing on message boards, JSO has had a pretty good run. Packers must be a draw to professional media people other than Wayne Larravie.

            Bedard (who is now at SI), Dunne (who has had two articles go national while on the beat for Buffalo) and Cohen aren't bad at all.

              The reason Jones missed practice:

              Jason Wilde ‏@jasonjwilde 5h5 hours ago
              #Packers DE @IAM_Dat_One named newborn daughter Laila Shay Jones after @TheRealLailaAli, whose father @MuhammadAli inspires him

              Jason Wilde ‏@jasonjwilde 5h5 hours ago
              #Packers WR @tae15adams tells @ToddMcMahon23 (and some other guy) he'll practice tomorrow. Hasn't the last few Saturdays, then missed games.

                #Packers add @mitchhenry84 to practice squad. He'll need to change his Twitter bio/handle. http://www.espnwisconsin.com/common/...&post_id=56551

                    As @adamjahns reported, #Packers lost DL Bruce Gaston to #Bears, who signed him off practice squad. He was making standard $6,600 per week

                      Don't like to lose any player, but it's not like the Bears are upgrading. They put last year's second round pick, Ego Ferguson, on the DL.



                      btw who the hell names their kid 'Ego'?

                        You have to wonder if Perillo and Backman are both better prospects than Gaston. Maybe.

                          Give Marv Fleming a sweater and some quaaludes, and he could pass for a 1990s Bill Cosby.

                            Ah, Marv Flemming. First player to win 4 Super Bowls. He played in 5 of the first 8 Super Bowls, and won 4 of them.

                              #Packers WR Davante Adams (sprained ankle) is improving, but he's not expected to play today, source said. Should be back post-bye

                                It's going to be nice to get Adams back! But waiting till after the bye is probably smart. Let him get and stay healthy!
