Free agents often not worth the money, Ron Wolf says· Page 2

You have got to be kidding me? Ron Wolf says something vanilla in support of the Packers and that means he's fully onboard with the way Ted Thompson is running them? Did you expect him to be critical even if he hated what Ted Thompson was doing and thought he was squandering Rodgers career? You just don't get it. I worked in media and got quotes from guys like Ron for years...got some from him in the bowels of Lambeau with Favre and Holmgren many moons ago.

What you've done is EXACTLY what I've said you enjoy here. You love your ears being tickled. Ron Wolf's quotes are repeated by many on a daily basis in similar situations. It's like Jon Gruden talking about QB's...he rarely says a bad word...he just loves them all. Do you honestly think Gruden loves all the QB's he says he does on MNF, or do you think he's grandstanding? Go work in media for any length of time and perhaps you'd understand.

I pulled more than just one thing from the article...the ambiguous statement was very curious. He also didn't sign off on TT's free agency approach even though some of you think that he did. Read with OBJECTIVITY and you will see he clearly didn't but that is too much to ask of you. You want that feather on the earlobe gently stroking back and forth.

Give it up.

You've been exposed again.

Not that it was hard.

Senseless dribble!

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Yes...I won't be posting in-season. I'm active during the draft time and TC/pre-season.

I'll NEVER stop answering back to people who want their ears tickled.

Would you pay good money to guys like EDS, Erik Walden, Darryn Colledge, Tramon Williams, AJ Hawk, Davon House? Nope...clowns like that aren't worth it but stupid teams pay big money for garbage. The FA I speak of is of the gamechanging variety .

As Ketchman often says, if you're paying for a FA from another team, you already overspent because you just paid more for that guy than the team with the best intel on him is willing to pay.

If anything I actually think you're better off with the 2nd tier EDS/Guion/Sean Richardson types. Identify specific needs at affordable contracts. The Saints tried to solve their safety problem by throwing money at Byrd and he was done for the year so 2014 they're still down a safety AND 8 mile in cap space.

Ruminate on it. Seriously. Vic Ketchman is one of the worst "journalists" I've ever read. If you find yourself getting your opinion on the Pack from Packers.com it's definitely time to find a new source of Packers news.

I'm sure Vic doesn't put the Blood Sweat and Tears into his column as you do into your online posting.

Please expand your thoughts on Vic.

I think he is entertaining and at times, informational.

Look....

There's a painted pony!

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : watch it!! lol

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : you're right, we never did leave, the site just went down :P

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from
