I spoke with Bob Harlan today. INTERESTING.

That hella cool GBPF!! I trip out when I read about people calling and talking to Harlan. He is a real cool dude for taking the time to do that.

I can't even get a manager at WalMart on the phone. :P

[Bretsky]

Thanks for the update. It sounds like Thompson low balled it.

That said, Moss isn't exactly a highly coveted player around the league. I'm not sure we missed out on much but it definitly sounds like TT lowballed it. I think he made a mistake. I think a 3rd and slightly nicer contract would ahve been well worth the risk.

I honestly have to get you kudos here as I was worried at times you were more focused on defending TT than the truth.

Now I'll have to say some nice things about TT in return

I'd agree with your assessment; I really wanted Moss. But who knows how this will end up playing out.

Cheers,
B

Yup, he clearly low balled it. NE Got him for nothing and we could have had him for slightly more than nothing with a more swift move.

I think he made a mistake. We'll see how the season plays out. Thompson is definitly going to start answering for the product he puts on teh field starting now.

That said, I still have confidence in the direction of the team

Ha ha ha. Walmart's have managers?

[motife]

wake me when this is all over...

Set your alarm clock for 2 years, that's when TT will finally be fired.

I think Moss used the Pack, he is where he wanted to be, time to forget about Moss.

I think you should stop raining on our parade with Moss preference to play somewhere

What else are we suppose to discuss ?

It's a bit slow in Packer world

The big acquisition of FRANK WALKER! DUH!

[b bulldog]

We can discuss ??? Good point although wouldn't you pick the Pats if you were in Moss' shoes? Watch him have a big year and than sign with the Pack next year and play like crap again.

Yes, if I was Moss I'd go to the Patriots and win a Super Bowl. Don't blame him a bit.

He may have got his wishes, but IMO we still could have had him.

[b bulldog]

imo, HE IS WHERE HE WANTED TO BE. I think we were used but I fully expect for him to have a Huuuuuuuuge year this year.

[RashanGary]

We lost out on Moss but I agree with bretsky that we could have had him. We would have had to out do their deal but we could have had him and the risk would have been worth it. TT low balled him, plain and simple. Moss has potential bad knees (according to Oakland who said he wouldn't get his knee checked), he is a bad guy in relation to the normal athlete and he's old. That said, there is potential to be a true SUPERSTUD and for a few mil when you have too much to spend it's worth a risk. I acctually think there is a good chance that he flops but even if he does, I still think it was worth a 3rd round pick and a couple million dollars and I feel that we could have had that if we were willing to outbid NE.

[RashanGary]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not "freaking out" but this is his second biggest mistake after Wahle IMO. He could have kept Wahle. He could have pushed it forward to right now when we are having a hard time spending it.

Again though, these are the obvious mistakes, I still think things are going good overall. You can't be a GM and not make mistakes.

[retailguy]

You can't be a GM and not make mistakes.

Unless your name is Mike Sherman.
