the problem with a 21 year old having the brain of a 65 year old is that by the time he's 30, he's got the brain of a 80 or 90 year old with dementia

I enjoy my interactions with Maxie. He seems perfectly happy, jolly even. So screw your negativity.

Where is Maxie, anyway? Maybe he got deported to Belgium, Luxembourg, the United Arab Emirates, or Kuwait, just like his restaurants.

fact check: probably true

Is "the brain of a 65-year-old" a bad thing?

i'll let you know next year.

I sure hope it isn't; but I'm not sure I even remember what it was like not having the brain of a 65-year-old.

And I foolishly paid for a subscription to TV guide.

Mike McCarthy discussing TE Marcedes Lewis: "His ability to cut off and anchor on a block and maintain at the line of scrimmage has been impressive. Frankly, we haven't really had that here with a man of his size and his ability." #Packers

McCarthy says inside linebacker Ahmad Thomas, a practice squad holdover from last season, has had a very strong start to camp. McCarthy likes his coverage ability and is eager to see him perform on special teams. A name to watch behind Blake Martinez and Oren Burks. #Packers

Aaron Rodgers got the defense to jump offside and then used the free play to throw a no-look touchdown pass all the way across the field to Geronimo Allison in a 2-minute drill. Unreal.

A couple times now the #Packers have used Kendall Donnerson on an inside twist up the middle. He’s got a lot of speed bearing down on the quarterback.

The next All-Pro gunner is likely to be Jake Kumerow.

ESPN Staff Writer
Rule 12, Article 9 under "player conduct" in the 2018 NFL rule book is about roughing the passer. Here's the point of emphasis explained in full: "A rushing defender is prohibited from committing such intimidating and punishing acts as "stuffing" a passer into the ground or unnecessarily wrestling or driving him down after the passer has thrown the ball, even if the rusher makes his initial contact with the passer within the one-step limitation provided for in (a) above. When tackling a passer who is in a defenseless posture (e.g., during or just after throwing a pass), a defensive player must not unnecessarily or violently throw him down or land on top of him with all or most of the defender's weight. Instead, the defensive player must strive to wrap up the passer with the defensive player's arms and not land on the passer with all or most of his body weight."

Sounds like NFL doesn't want any more star QB's with broken collarbones.

We're in big trouble if Burks is in the starting lineup... when Ryan went down I assumed Pettine would have the sense to realize Burks has no business on the field.

Thomas, move Matthews, Gilbert, sign Bowman... anyone is better than Burks.

Actually my preference would be to sign Bowman.
