The news of his release was drowned out by the extension of Greg Jennings.

I saw this in the comments section on an article I was reading, and just had to share it.

I am very happy about Greg Jennings but the person mentioned at the bottom of the article is the person about whom I would like to speak. Lorne Sam was released today. We went to the Donald Driver Softball game and had the pleasure of meeting Lorne Sam. He was one the nicest, most polite, accomodating young men we have had the pleasure of meeting. What a great ambassador for the Green Bay Packers! He understood what being a Packer meant and what an honor it was to be given an opportunity to even try out for the team. He waited patiently while I went to get our grandchildren so they could take a photo with a Packer. It made their day! My 7-yr.-old granddaughter had on a pink Favre jersey and he kidded with her about the fact that mangement had not informed him that he had to wear pink but he would if it meant he could be a Packer. After he left us, he went with an usher who took him to a group of physically challenged kids. He took pictures with each one of them. Mr. Sam, it was an honor to meet you and you will be a great asset to any NFL team. We wish you the best of luck! Thank you.

I wish him luck as well.

At moments like that, it's a shame that you make the team on skill alone and not personality. I'm pretty sure he'll be succesfull in life if he keeps going in the direction he is now. Best of luck to him.

Very good college players have a tough time making it in the NFl.

I use the example of Bishop who lead the Pac-10 in tackles but is only a struggling 6th round pick.

Spencer Havner started 3 years at a big program like UCLA and he won't make it.

The Packers have a lot of talent. They also have a lot of depth.

dfosterf (42m) : 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 (3h) : DT Byron Murphy II, Texas... whom some believe is the next Aaron Donald (or the closest thing to Donald)

Zero2Cool (4h) : What? And who?

Mucky Tundra (9h) : *sad Mucky noises*

Mucky Tundra (9h) : @JoeJHoyt Murphy said he’s been told he won’t slide past pick No. 16.

wpr (16h) : Just about time to watch Sonny Weaver stick it to the seahags. I never get tired of it.

Martha Careful (16h) : *game plan

Martha Careful (17h) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (19h) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (20h) : 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.

Zero2Cool (18-Apr) : Packers sign T Andre Dillard.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : Adds most of the information this time of year comes from agents.

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : @RealAlexBarth Bill Belichick says accurate draft information doesn't leak from teams until about 12 hours before the draft. Adds most of th

Mucky Tundra (18-Apr) : I am very happy that for moment, Jordan Love seems like a normal human being

Zero2Cool (17-Apr) : Belichick * whatever

Zero2Cool (17-Apr) : "There's a lot of depth at Offensive Tackle and Wide Receiver." Bill Bellichick

Zero2Cool (17-Apr) : Thanks! I can't believe it's over haha

Martha Careful (16-Apr) : Congratulations

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Boom. Student Loan. $0.00. Only took about 20 years.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : Packers DT Kenny Clark: New defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley will 'allow us to be way more disruptive'

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : Saints have agreed to terms on a contract with former Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown.

beast (12-Apr) : No, but of it's for legislation, then half of the country will find it evil, not good, whatever it says....

Mucky Tundra (12-Apr) : Draft is still 2 weeks away. UGH

dhazer (11-Apr) : Does anyone know of a good AI generator to create letters of Support for legislation?
