Dan Grimm, 1941-2018

Another member of the 1965 championship team who was selected by Atlanta in the expansion draft , Grimm played guard for three seasons for the Packers. Apparently he died last Thursday, but I didn't see any notice until today. :(

Edmunds and James right there for the taking and trades back for a 5 and a pick next year? That's just weird. If he got #91 it would have been cool, but #147? Now trades back up with more resources this year?

Weird. Last week, Dennis Clairidge who appeared on his playing card for the Falcons in a Packer uniform passed away. This week Dan Grimm....same story. Anybody got a picture of Favre in his Falcon uniform on a Packer card?

It was weird, and real grades are a long way off, just initial feelings: I absolutely loved the Burks and Madison picks. There hasn't been an ILB in Green Bay with Burks' speed/potential in coverage since Barnett. Madison comes from a fast-paced passing offense so I'm sure he'll need work on his three-point stance, but he's also the only real O-lineman they drafted. The corners are concerning. Jackson is not known for his man skills but how do you pass on that value even if you have to run...

My thoughts on the draft: Trades : Gute killed it here. Don't think I've ever seen as good a trio of trades in the draft in years. They dropped back 4 picks in the first and likely picked a guy they might have drafted anyways. And all they needed to get back to 18 was a third round pick, which they got back into the third using the extra 4th and 5th rounders they had. They already had 9 picks in rounds 1-5 so using a 4th and 5th to trade into the third round made a ton of sense. Looking at...

We've got a new defensive skipper. Based on reputation, I can safely say that Mike Pettine has exhaustively reviewed tape of every single player on the roster that lines up on D. He knows what he needs to put his system in place. What did Blake Martinez say a few weeks ago about when he met with Pettine early in the offseason? He preached "No missed assignments. No mental errors." Accountability. We'd all like the sexy top 15 defensive edge rusher. You can never have too many impact pass...

Welcome to another edition of Fedya's “Movies to Tivo” Thread, for the week of May 7-13, 2018. First, I need to apologize for the fact that TCM pulled We Go to Monte Carlo from the schedule at the last minute I should have realized something was up when they had a 90-something minute movie scheduled in a 75-minute slot. Anyhow, we finally get to our Star of the Month this week. We've also got some more movie series, and Mothers' Day on Sunday which means yet another showing of Mildred Pierce...

Monday night on TCM brings a bunch of movies based on fairy tales. I don't know that The Wacky World of Mother Goose , at 4:30 AM Tuesday, is a TCM premiere, but I don't recall ever seeing it on the schedule before. It's an animated version of the Mother Goose stories, with the voice of Margaret Rutherford as Mother Goose and animation done by Rankin/Bass, the same people who brought us Christmas specials like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer . Earlier in the evening, at 3:00 AM Tuesday,...
