Josh Sitton.

Coincidences?

1. Josh Sitton comes from a military family.
2. On Aug. 30, Sam Barrington tweeted, "I support Colin Kaepernick 100%"
3. Four days later, Sam Barrington and Josh Sitton were surprise cuts.
4. The Packers are known for emphasizing keeping locker room issues out of the media.

So is Aaron Rodgers the next one to go?

Everyone says this is in part or mostly to help the young guys. Well the young guys don't stay young forever. If you have a history of fucking over your vets, it will eventually bite you in the ass.

Do the Packers look like they have been bitten in the ass? Thompson has been at this a long time now.
Even if Sitton wasn't treated fairly, one player doesn't make it a "team history".

Even more interesting because one of the rumors was a dust-up between Sitton and Barrington, according to Wilde. Wilde said he couldn't reach Barrington, and Sitton denied it.

Maybe the dots need to be connected one or two steps beyond answering a question about an issue in the media... I'm sure if something happened, it will be denied til the cows come home so there will probably never be conclusive proof of any incident.

Given all the rumors flying, I think it's safe to say the season can't start soon enough.

Not that theory is interesting

Cause Barrington wad a bit of a surprise cut too imo

If there were an incident, lots of people would know about it and would come out. I say give the speculations a rest.

Depends on how many were there to witness it, and how tightly MM can close the doors.

If nothing else, you can tell when people are uncomfortable and hiding something. With the frenzy to find out what's there, I easily conclude that there is no there there.

I've never known any group of people who can conceal a controversy where the individuals are conflicted or upset.

[Harlan Huckleby]

heee heee heee. On second thought, TT and MM seem uncomfortable and appear to be hiding something. TT was spotted entering the building wearing a Groucho Marx nose and glasses.

Now this I can agree with.

TT always appears uncomfortable. Nothing significant there.

Your statement about groups concealing controversies is redundant: if the parties are known to be upset then by definition the controversy is not concealed; if nobody can see they're upset then the controversy probably hasn't been made public.

If Sitton and Barrington got into it over Kaerpnick and Black-and-Blue lives, which seems to me only remotely more likely than Sitton as PED pipeline, the rest of the guys in the lockerroom probably don't want to talk about it among themselves, let alone to the press. Who can tell whether TJ Lang is capable of masking his discomfort when talking to a reporter.

Arguing against this is that players were lying, if the report is credible, about there being any recent trouble in the locker room. I can see M3 getting them to clam up, but not outright mislead by saying things were really hunky dory. Lang and Bulaga were at a complete loss to imagine the scenario.

Otherwise, you need a scenario where an O lineman and LB were together in a nearly vacant locker room. Even then, it can't be a continuation of a previous disagreement or others probably know.

T2 on Sitton's release:

“I’m not going to go there,” Thompson said during an interview. “Not right now, no.”

“I will say this,” Thompson added. “Josh Sitton is a heck of a football player and a good teammate. He’s one of the better picks I’ve ever made."

The place those things sometimes happen are treatment rooms, whirlpools, the weight room, etc. Especially if one intends to confront the other. These are times when only a few are around. An "off day" when only some players are scheduled, just a few at a time, to meet with trainers, undergo therapy, etc. Its a mistake to think the players are always in a pack, and that confrontations occur only on the field or in a crowded locker room, especially if the beef is of a personal nature.
