[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 590762, member: 5830"] You're right that the sales tax has helped out the Packers and Green Bay. I believe that the tax is set to expire this year in fact. There are some people (and I'm one of them) that are opposed to public funding of sports stadiums, which is why I loved the concept of the Packers "stock" sale. I bought a share to put my money where my mouth was regarding public funding. As for Harlan, you're using the same argument that some use to belittle Thompson's role in the Packers success - he got lucky with Rodgers and everything else is a result of that luck. Harlan did a lot of work behind the scenes to make the Packers successful. Even if his one act was to hire Wolf, who hired Holmgren, who ..... (blah blah blah) ..... then he deserves credit, and more than just some. Given Harlan credit for everything that he did does belittle anything that Wolf, Holmgren, Reggie White, or the team trainer did doing that time. It was a team effort and trying to pick apart the individual variables for targeted merit is a fools exercise. [/QUOTE]
