Mike Vandermause is 1000 times the Packers fan than he is a journalist.
A Homer's Homer if you will.

That article that he wrote after the Packers loss to the Cardinals was downright embarrassing.
All he did was cry and wail over how he refs screwed the Packers....nothing about how the Packers vaunted "playoff caliber defense" that he himself had just praised weeks before, allowed 45 points in regulation play.
But I must admit, his melodramatic skills are superb.

"On one of the biggest stages of the NFL season, in front of a national television audience, in one of the most dramatic games in playoff history, the officials flat out choked on the final play of the Arizona Cardinals 51-45 overtime victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Their miscue in the most critical moment will haunt the Packers for months, if not years.

The gory details will live in team infamy......."

Have you ever listened to Paul Allen call a Viking game? That's a homer for you.

Well old Sid is damn near 90, a fixture in the Twin Cities sports scene, and as such is allowed some lee way
And he must be given credit for essentially founding the Lakers and ran them for years .

With that said.... In the world of sports writing, Sid Hartman is the crazy uncle who lives in the back bedroom and has been known to show up for dinner sans pants. Yes, he once confused skater Tara Lipinski with Monica Lewinsky.
Once in a radio interview, he continually referred to NBA star Spud Webb as Spider Webb.
Reading Sid is like listening to one of your Grandpa's crazy stories; it can only end in one of three ways: 1. You get up and leave, 2. He falls asleep, 3. Death.

As to my point....I have no point.
I just like to stir the pot from time to time. But you cheeseheads and your reactions are getting to easy, I'll have work on my technique. ::wink:

You may now continue with your discussion on Rodgers.

If you want an excruciating Queens homer, look no further than that puke Kevin Seiffert who obviously blew someone to get a writing gig at ESPN.

Watching other teams scrabble around desperately for even half decent QBs makes me so grateful we have Rodgers.

When you factor in his age, his talent and his character/leadership there are few better QBs in the league.

The very best (Manning, Brady, Brees etc) are all in their 30s. Who knows how much longer they'll be at the top of their game.

If I was starting a franchise today Rodgers would be my choice of QB.

We are fortunate indeed. #4 gave us many years where we did not worry about who would start at QB and Rodgers has given us a nearly seemless transition to another great QB.

I look forward to Rodgers proving himself even more in the years to come.

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Anyone hanging out in the chat tonight?

Zero2Cool (4h) : whoa...49ers have had trade conversations about both Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk

Zero2Cool (5h) : I hope they take a Punter at 9th overall. Be bold!

Mucky Tundra (6h) : I may end up eating those words but I think they need a lot more talent then their 4 picks can provide

Mucky Tundra (6h) : I really hope they stand pat and Draft a WR

Mucky Tundra (6h) : @DMRussini

Mucky Tundra (6h) : The Chicago Bears are very open for business at 9 and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price, per source

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend Penei Soul 4yrs - 112mil

buckeyepackfan (24-Apr) : Lions extend St. Brown 4 years 120mil and

Mucky Tundra (24-Apr) : Now look, trading up to 13 to take a TE might not seem like a good idea later but it will be later!

dfosterf (24-Apr) : (Your trade up mock post)

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

beast (24-Apr) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Zero2Cool (24-Apr) : What? And who?

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : *game plan

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (23-Apr) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Gutekunst says he'd love to have 13 or 14 picks. He's trading back huh lol

beast (22-Apr) : Someday we'll have a draft betting scandal

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Maye needs to be AFC

Mucky Tundra (21-Apr) : Not liking the idea of the Vikings getting Maye

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (21-Apr) : Can't tell if this is real or BS, but some rumors about a possible Patriots/Vikings trade for #3 overall

dfosterf (21-Apr) : One playbook to my knowledge. I was shooting for facetious.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.

beast (18-Apr) : OT Dillard has been absolutely horrible... like OG Newman levels

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Suit him up and have him stand in front of the big board as a draft day cautionary tale.
