Right you are Spardo!!! I live in NW Wis. and even 4 hours is not fun after a 3:15 start and I have only seen one Mon. night game ever. (It was Freeman's catch.) Not ready for prime time is OK with me. As for Thanksgiving, playing in Detroit is always a bad omen. Lombardi had it right when he...

Chrystl wrote an interesting piece this week on the Packers purge of Chatman. (He threw in Hawthorne for good measure). The premise of the article was that certain players (Chatman) are retained by coaches because they fit within their comfort level. In other words, they don't make glaring...

Henderson tested the free agent market during the prime of his career and got no takers. I can't belive he is going to get any better results this time around. I hope he stays, but I think his only other choice is to sign elsewhere for less, out of spite.

He also played a major role in 13 consecutive seasons without a losing record and took a low revenue team into a high revenue team. But we were 4-12 this year so what has he done for us lately?

Very true, 4 pack! Keep in mind Harlen is but one of the main reasons for the Packer's success the past 13 seasons. I suggest he knows his job far better than we do. What other team president or owner will answer his phone messages or go door to door to sell a new stadium? By the way, I am not...

Bob Harlen has always been a hands off guy when it comes to personnel. He basically hires people and allows them to do their jobs. When TT was hired it was because the duel role for MS was obviously too much. He hired TT because among other reasons, MS thought that they could work together. I...

Next to Brett Favre, Ahman Green was the biggest bargain the Packers have received in recent history! They trade a 2nd rate, 1st round choice in Fred Vinson for a straight ahead runner and fumbler with asthema in Green. Green has paid off his contract in dividends. Given that, he has lost a step...

Easy: 1. Vikings, 2. Vikings, 3. Vikings

I remember seeing him play. He was a starter until he broke a bone in his neck. He was a hellova hitter and a very promising player. According to sources at the time the injury was either life threatening or life crippling if he were to injure the neck again. This made retirement an easy and...

Jim Carter fully admitted years later that if he would have kept his mouth shut, he would have been better off. The fans didn't want Ray to go and Carter knew that. When he replaced #66 he already had a strike against him. Carter was arrogant and showed no respect for the legend that he replaced...

Singeltary is being mentioned by the "Big Unit" on WTMJ as I write this as a good candidate. My limited knowledge is that teams will let coaches out of their current contract if they want out. Isn't this what is happening with Bates right now? If Singeltary wants out (and I hope he does), SF...

I think Bates is a great coach and was disappointed when TT didn't pick him. At age 59 if it hasn't happened for him already, it probably isn't going to happen. GB will let him go if he wants out, but is there a better situaion for him if the hc job doesn't materialize?

Bates is in a win-win situation here. He is already held in high regard by the majority of Packer fans. If he goes-no hard feelings. Anyone passed over for a job that they felt they deserved can relate. If he stays, he shows he is the bigger man. I for one feel he is important as part of the...

Please step up to the........

Someone will hire Mike Sherman. I draw the line at Minnesota, though!
