Packers pursuing Ross Verba, asked in for visit

[FritzDontBlitz]

interesting that you guys are talking about verba. i was in vegas not too long ago - maybe it was july, but i had been in january of 2005 too since i have family there - and my nephew apparently drives for the hotel/casino verba was staying in during his binge. my nephew asked me if i had heard of the guy, that he was some football player that had hung out in the penthouse suite for months gambling and partying his ass off. i guess nephew got a few nice tips for bein a good chauffer. i was standing there listening the whole time and thinking "damn, so THAT'S what happened to verba."

i thought he was a damn good tackle though, not as good at guard but maybe its like beightol said: he never bought into it (playing guard) so that's why he never excelled....

WTF? You guys are telling me Verba was available ALL of last year, and despite the Packers OL woe, Thompson did not even make a run at this guy?

Talk about shitty GM.

Come on Tank, Verba wants big money & he doesn't want play guard. His attitude sucks & he wants to party & gamble. See any red flags there?

In desperate time call for desperate measures. Thompson should’ve done almost anything to sign Verba before week 3 last year; but only because he screwed up with the Wahle situation.

I dont care what dude has done, he can be a great temp fix until the line solidifies.

That TT is talking to him is a good sign that he is not only thinking about tomorrow.

Last year at this time Verba was sitting in Las Vegas with Paris Hilton and Tara Reid. May have taken a few Clydesdale's to drag hi out of there.

Are you telling me you went through ALL of last season without knowing this?

[jack's smirking revenge]

I'd love it if he came back to the Pack. At least I'd be able to wear my signed Verba jersey again. Yes, I'm serious. I got it after his rookie season.

The guy does play with an attitude

[MJZiggy]

He'd change numbers--just to mess with you.

Nor did any of the other 31 GMs. What does that tell you???

What happened to 'high character' and 'packer people'? Not saying the guy t has to sing in the church choir, but this guy sounds like he's way off the deep end.

He sang in the church choir the first time he was here, maybe he just needs another rebirth.

I agree. You just got rid of one locker rooom distraction...you don't need to add another.

[jack's smirking revenge]

He's a character guy; if you rearrange the letters of his last name, it spells "BRAVE".

Ok, that was bad. Sorry.
