  • Official Training Camp Thread

    Packers have set dates, but not times of 13 practices open to public. August 16 & 17 are joint practices with Patriots.

    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

      Since this is the Summer of Jordan Love, the Great Arm of Butte, ironically, will be donning the 10 Green and Mustard Yellow and hosting a “Love-in” on July 29 at Lambeau Field, starting at 2 PM.

      The Great Arm of Butte - featuring Harrell (guitar), Harlan (drums), Rastak (bass), and the burger flipping loser, Tank Elf Duke (keyboards, lead vocalist) - will be debuting our masterpiece, “A (Jordan) Love Song for Aaron Rodgers.”

      Check out the lyrics:

      Overhead the albatross
      Hangs motionless upon the air
      And deep beneath the rolling waves
      In labyrinths of coral caves
      The echo of a distant time
      Comes willowing across the sand
      And everything is green and [mustard yellow]


      (Actually, that’s Mailman’s favorite redcoat, the redcoat who named himself after two Black blues musicians, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.)

        Why the fuck won’t the Packers volunteer for Hard Knocks?

        The Packers appearing on the show would enhance cold, dark and dull Green Bay economically and expose the city to the nation. The team owe it to the city to appear on the show - the city paid for the Lambeau Field renovation.

          They are not eligible until they miss the playoffs 2 years in a row.

            Teams can volunteer for the show, as the Kittens did last season and the Sheepfuckers and Whale Vagina Chargers did two years ago.

            If no team signs up, eligibility then comes into play and NFL can force an eligible team to appear on the show. This season’s eligible teams are: Mobsters of the Midway, Sodom and Gomorrah Sinners and Gotham City Jesters, and Redcoats.

            The Packers should sign up!

              Butte and the Gotham City Jesters (in honor of the downtrodden comedian, Arthur Fleck) will be featured on Hard Knocks.

                I think most teams would prefer to keep the cameras and distractions out of camp. Also keeps what the front office does a secret, although I suspect most are similar.
                It's a young team - if I were MLF, I wouldn't want all that chaos around camp and the players. Media coverage will be crazy enough with JLove replacing Rodgers.

                Jaire would probably be hilarious miked up though.

                    Supposedly Reed has agreed to terms, too. Is that all of them, or is Tucker Kraft unsigned? Haven't been paying too much attention.

                        Pup:
                        Gary
                        Stokes
                        Hanson
                        Cotton

                        NFI:
                        DuBose
                        McDonald

                        DuBose missed all of the OTA's so he's way behind. I'm guessing if he heals, he's practice squad at best. If he doesn't heal by the end of camp, he's gone with no settlement since its a non-football injury.

                          Yes, DuBose has a lot of catching up to do, so it's a good guess that he might end up on the practice squad this year. If he can show some special teams talent, he might make the roster by the end of the year, given injuries and all.

                          I'm glad the Packers are careful with injuries - what's the point in hurrying Gary or Stokes back? I do feel badly for the young guys like Cotton, not even drafted and only a slim shot anyway, and then he's hurt. Even if say a fifth round pick gets hurt, he's likely to get more consideration and rope than an undrafted guy. They probably fight like hell to get on the field, no matter how hurt they are.

                            Jake Hanson passed his physical and has been activated from the PUP.

                            At least there is some positive news on the injury front, before the inevitable when practices start.

                              Jake Hanson being out for the year would have been better injury news.
