Found this earlier today @ the WSJ in Madtown.

2. Not all of their fans are as loyal as advertised. The Packers have a season-ticket waiting list of about 86,000, and a turnover of about only 90 tickets a year — meaning it might take nearly 1,000 years to get a seat. But plenty of greedy Green Bay fans this week have been reselling their playoff tickets on StubHub and similar secondary market sites.

There were still more than 1,600 tickets for sale Friday on StubHub alone, ranging anywhere from $139 to $12,936 for Suite 4000, whatever that is. In fact, that concept is so obnoxious it becomes our next reason . . .

3. The Packers have a Suite 4000, not a suite-for-thousands.

(columnist’s note: is “offerees” even a word?)

Yes

5. Where’s the “B”?

An organization must be pretty arrogant to believe one letter is good enough to represent two proper nouns.

That's a bit rich coming from a New Yorker.

Er...what was with all the Gint fans in the first row giving low fives to the Gints after the game?

Fucking Gints.

I don't want any of these four teams left to win.

Giants: NYers. Arrogant assholes. Bleh.
49ers: Harbaugh. Alex Smith. No one should have more super bowls than the packers. Bleh.
Ravens: Yuck. Harbaugh Deux. Ray Lewis. Bleh.
NE: Bleh Bleh Bleh.

Oh well. I have a lot of work backed up. It isn't as if I can't find anything to do on weekends.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Anyone at Lambeau, why did it seem like on TV that there were a ton of Giants fans there? Was there? Like when Cruz caught balls, I could hear the Crrruz chat on TV. Why do people sell tickets to the other team's fans, its GB, can't you find a buyer that is a GB fan?

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

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

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I would imagine Dallas will resolve this issue with a truckload of money
