Busy with Suits. No time for Hard Knocks. Harvey Specter won't let me.
I like to wait 12-13 years to find shows. Next up, The West Wing.

Donna rules!
Green Bay’s most famous mural is the one that no longer exists.
Beau Thomas painted over his “King of the North” portrait of Aaron Rodgerswearing a crown immediately after it was reported April 24 the former Green Bay Packers quarterback was traded to the New York Jets, but the portrait that once graced the alley of the Broadway District looms large in a new Sports Illustrated story.
Thomas and the mural got top billing in an article published Wednesday with the headline: “How One Mural Captures the Complicated Feelings About Aaron Rodgers Leaving Green Bay.”

I’m hearing good things about Arrested Development

That's because it was on Fox. Fox's football commentators are contractually obligated to say good things about Fox's shows.
So just came back from a week In NYC. I was kind of shocked I didn't see one billboard or even one mention anywhere of AR being in NY. I know it is the offseason but still was surprised I didn't see anything.
Mucho Rodgers bashing on Wilde and Tausch this morning. Fucking cowards waited until he left town to bash him. Some of us have been doing that for years.😅
Apparently, people are starting to talk behind the scenes about what an asshole Rodgers was. Shocker!
Rodgers isn't in Green Bay anymore, he has to prove himself worthy in NY.
I rarely watch Hard Knocks but have to tune into this one.

While many people on here complained about Christl and McGinn, at least you knew they weren't team shills.
These guys need access to stay relevant and the best way to get access is to write /talk about puff pieces and take your talking points from Murphy, etc.
The Rodgers bashing now is because it's in the best interests of the front office to get those stories out. Some of the stuff is just noise and doesn't matter, but the fact your starting QB was blowing off meetings with the head coach to talk about the offensive game plan was something that should have been reported in real time. These guys had to have heard those rumors.

Which is exactly why the Jets are on Hard Knocks and the NFL is thrilled Rodgers in is NYC.

I don’t know, they do a fair amount of Murphy and Gutey bashing too.

I only hear them occasionally when I visit family in Wisconsin, so maybe I have a skewed interpretation of them based on what I've heard.

Yeah, I don’t listen often either. Work was a little less intense this morning, for a change, so I listened in.

Tauscher is generally a rah-rah positivity all around guy. He typically refrains from going negative, so yeah he must have gotten the green light from the organization to go after Rodge.
As for Wilde, he formerly tied his lot to Rodge and may feel a bit scorned now that #12 has taken his talents to NYC, but Jason also knows where his bread is buttered.
In fact, Wilde has, within the last year or so, repeatedly admitted that he (along with the rest of the hard-driving Packer press corps) was well aware that Ted Thompson was not medically capable of performing his GM duties for several years before he was finally relieved of his duties but, ya know Ted was well-liked and rockin' the boat with inconvenient facts is just too much to expect from of the Green Bay Packer press corps.
Gonna be interesting to see who gets the next knife in the back should the Pack struggle on the field in 2023 and 2024.

I’m glad they didn’t out TT in his health issues. That would be unethical, IMO.
BTW, Tauscher was not bashing anyone this morning. He never does, but others were more than willing to do so. Wilde had the day off and took great pains to call in to do some bashing.😂
My closest thing to an “in” with the Packers was a 1st cousin who was a college roommate to one of the Packers’ starting offensive players in the years after they won the Super Bowl.
Didn’t really get specific info about Rodgers from what my cousin had gathered from his former roommate, but the word was “Rodgers is a good guy” and that’s all I remember hearing. Yeah, no earth shattering news there, but while I’m sure Rodgers can be prickly at times, he was liked by that particular player.
The problem is that Rodgers changed. Well, he is who he always was but now he is more of it.

Word on Wilde and Tausch is that Rodgers changed. He used to be a good guy.
YouTube:
Wilde's segment starts at 35:13. Link should go right to it. 41:41 if you just want to get the money quote.

The TT stuff was a very grey area. If depends if you think the Packers should be treated like a Fortune 500 company or more like (when they used to exist) the local company that employed a few dozen people in your small town.
The Packers' revenue is about 500 million a year. I guess a somewhat comparable organization in Green Bay was Shopko which had revenues of 2 or 3 billion a year before it went under. If you were a journalist in Green Bay and you found out that the CEO of Shopko was medically incapacitated back around 2000, it would be your job to investigate and report that since it could have effects on the company and the region that could affect hundreds of people's jobs. More importantly, it was a publicly traded company.
If it's Mr. Jones who runs the local private supermarket in your small town and he is completely incapable of functioning anymore, that's a different situation.
Are the Packers more like Shopko circa 1990-2000 or more like the local supermarket?
Also, anyone who saw that infamous national TV shot of TT sitting in the box with a blank look and vacant stare on his face for what seemed like 20 seconds knew that he was not fully competent.

It all depends on whether Love is any good. If he is, and the Packers are at least competitive for a playoff spot for the foreseeable future, there will be very little drama. In many ways, the pressure is now off since they don't have a HOF QB with Super Bowl expectations every year like they've had since 1993. They just have to win 8-10 games a year and not be embarrassing with Love showing that he can be at least a Kirk Cousins/Ryan Tannehill type.
If Love tanks and they fall to about 4-6 wins a year, the knives will come out. It will be that "MLF really wanted Love and that's why he was high fiving people after the pick." Or that "Gutey thought he was the third coming after Favre and Rodgers and that cost us a better chance to win it all in 2020-22."

Thanks for the link. They started out saying Packers fans will be all over hard knocks. Perhaps many will but I for one will pass on it. Not because I hate Rodgers (I don't) but he is no longer my team's quarterback.

I checked out something called "Seinfeld," but it seems to be a show about nothing.

We're all changing as we age. If not, I would be dead from liver desease or STD's by now. Rodgers use to be a good guy, I use to be a fun guy. Now we are in our 40's and not putting up with the bullshit.

Hard disagree. I don't like your ShopKo vs local grocer comparison but I don't even think I need to get into that. Sports journalism is basically just entertainment journalism, which is inherently trashy. You only have to ask yourself if the fan consuming said journalism would be interested in knowing that Ted Thompson is medically incompetent to perform his job. And obviously they would.
