We should turn it off, not give another dime to these owners who continue to look past the atrocious behavior of some of their employees.  Turning off, stop patronizing their partners and not buying merchandise.  That’s the only way, thru their pocketbooks.

You first.

A second grand jury in another Texas county has convened to hear evidence against Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson.

I admit. I can't quit it. Too many good memories of watching games with parents, grandparents, and friends.

Like heroin addicts.

Well, some of the owners are also part of the fucking problem.  It’s not like all of them follow the proper moral and ethical and legal codes all the time.

But I do agree- quit watching and buying their shit.  You know the league won’t do shit to remedy their issues.

It’s gotten to a point with me where it’s a rare occasion that I watch or listen to an NFL game if it’s not the Packers.  Even then, I’ll DVR and play back portions of the game if I’ve got other stuff going on.

Well I admit I watch the games so indirectly the NFL gets my money via TV contracts and website ad revenue.  But I haven't directly given a dollar to the NFL in years.  I haven't bought NFL gear in well over 10 years, gone to a game since 2013, and don't pay for cable (I can only watch Fox, CBS and NBC games via my HD antenna).  So it's possible. 

NFL is what it is.  Everyone should just stop pretending that we care.  GMs and coaches are fired based on on-field performance, not off-field arrests.  So it should not be surprising that they ignore off-field issues.  Forgot who said it but a few years ago a scout said something to effect of "if Hannibal Lecter ran a 4.3, we'd say he just had an eating disorder". 

Not sure if this is true, but I mentioned Parker yesterday. He's injury-prone and getting older but would be worth a Day 3 pick. https://t.co/iSizGBHVrV

CLE kicked Mayfield to the curb and spit on him on the way out thinking they had Watson in the bag.  Then the original deal fell through.  CLE got desperate and gave Watson whatever the hell he wanted to dig out of that hole.

Denver signs OT Billy Turner to 1 yr deal.

Bores sign journeyman QB Trevor Siemian as backup.

Jay Cutler can't let go of his ex-wife.

Kind of like his dreams of regularly beating the Packers.

Looks like she picked off his heart.

Current NFL over/under win totals

The last line on that chart couldn't possibly be any browner than that.

Last year the Pack were 9.5 on the win total.  EASY MONEY.

Signing the draft picks comes out of that too, no?

About 5M goes to the rookie class. My guess is Packers are weighing what a contract of a WR1 will cost them, then use the rest to extend Jaire, et al.

I read this rookie class is going to cost closer to $8 million. Having two 1sts and two 2nds will do that to you.

Green Bay not selected to host 2024 NFL Draft

There will be an interactive football theme park where fans can enjoy games, exhibits, musical performances and autograph sessions plus have an opportunity to take pictures with the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

That will be the closest Detoilet will ever come to having a Superb Owl trophy in town.

Everyone knows Brady fired him.

IMHO, probably a medical issue. Just sayin.

Doesn't want to deal with Brady's shit?

@AdamSchefter:  Former Seahawks’ Pro-Bowl linebacker Bobby Wagner is signing a five-year, $50 million deal worth up to $65 million with the Los Angeles Rams, per league sources. Wagner is staying in the NFC West.

Why the fucking thumbs up YaYa???  It just made a likely playoff opponent even better.  Are you sure you are a Packers fan are do you just like being on here to give thumbs up>? 

It makes our contract for Campbell look like a steal. Rams squander money on someone who is  an aging injury risk.

It all depends on the what the guaranteed money is.

Unpossible! I was told that the Rams who went all-in for 2021 were in cap hell after that.

The SB champs have made themselves better with several signings.

Meanwhile, we have the worst receiving corps in the NFL.

They have mortgaged their future.  The Rams will be not be relevant ever again.
