Don't know the underlying financials, but it seems short-sighted to leave WTMJ to get a little more money and turn you back on almost 100 years of a great partnership.
I'll have to wait for my newspaper tomorrow to read about it.
Probably couldn't beat out the dominance of play by play via telegraph.
Their choice, they don't need to explain it to the fans. Maybe there's a technical reason?
A couple of years ago I was able to listen to games on WTMJ when I was out of the US. Now I get blocked. So, now I will end up paying for radio service when out of the country. I don’t feel like buying an online service for the month or so I am away. I am such a cheapskate! But I do have Sunday Ticket when I go back home to South Carolina.
And having this site give its comments and analysis (as well as humor) is good.
JJ Watt is listed as out.

Another big injury for TNF: The #AZCardinals say J.J. Watt is out vs #Packers with a shoulder injury.

JJ Watt's shoulder is nobody's business but JJ Watt's. I'm appalled.
@TomSilverstein: #Packers injury situation basically unchanged. CB Kevin King and OLB Preston Smith are both questionable. #Cardinals will be without DE JJ Watt (shoulder), who has been declared out. GB will announce tomorrow if MVS is activated and which PS WRs are Covid replacements.
Well there goes democracy!
Yes, I'm joking so may thy teats be slightly chilled.
ARZ though it just wouldn't be fair unless they pulled out one of their starters.

So ah, what’s the first big injury??? Another big injury for TNF: The #AZCardinals say J.J. Watt is out vs #Packers with a shoulder injury.
What’s the first injury he’s talking about or did I read this wrong??
Listened to TMJ milking cows, until they dipped the signal strength in the evening and you couldn't hear through the static anymore
I want to see the offense run 4 straight jet sweeps tomorrow. One to the left, one to the right, one to the left and one to the left just to mix things up.
Surprised the news about Lazard isn't being discussed more
maybe fantastic news, maybe more good news
To add on here, reported on NFL Network that Adams could potentially travel on his own to Arizona on Thursday afternoon if he receives two negative tests (the second one being Thursday morning) There’s still a chance Adams plays Thursday night, albeit a very small one
King should only be mentioned if he’s active. It’s rare & newsworthy.

He must have tested negative this morning.?
Assuming Adams and Larzard are out, running the ball will be more important than ever to set up the pass. I have not paid enough attention, but have Jones and Dillon spent much time in the backfield together? Both are pretty solid receivers and would add a little uncertainty as to whether its a pass or a run.
Good, bad, or otherwise, this seems to be a trend in the major markets.
I'm guessing being the flagship station for pro sports teams creates the market share they desire, because they sure are willing to fork over huge rights fees.
For instance, here in Atlanta, the Falcons and Braves both left their long-time home on AM, and bidding wars erupted. "Classic Rock" stations eventually won, even with no prior experience broadcasting live sports.
This must be the Pissing Down Your Leg thread.
Show up. Man up. Line up. Play the fucking game.
Go Pack Go.
It would be interesting to see them activate Patrick Taylor and run a pseudo-wishbone a number of plays to create matchup problems with backs motioning wide and to the slot, not knowing which one was going to actually be in the backfield on any given play.

MLF's game plans are quite specific to who we are playing. Lastbtime we used 2 RBs a lot was in playoffs vs. Rams. They would motion one out, a LBer would go with him, leaving 5 defenders vs 5 blockers which allowed us to run all over them. What I will never understand is this; we did the same thing on the first play vs. TB and they did not bring an ILBer out of the box to go with him. Jones had two WR's on that side to block but AR handed off to Williams who went nowhere, could not understand why AR didn't throw to Jones ... never went back to that again.
One of the weirder-ass build ups to a game that I can remember. Wouldn’t be surprised if we hear:
- Rodgers agrees to play left-handed for the game.
- Murray forced to wear a double jockstrap to limit mobility all in the name of gamesmanship.
- Crosby attempts to drop kick a 79 yd FG with IcyHot lathered on his balls.

Just showing FBG's view on the news
Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter
Green Bay Packers WR Davante Adams is expected to be out for the Week 8 game. He is currently on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Adams did not travel with the team to Arizona. They're already without Allen Lazard, so expect more from TE Robert Tonyan and RB Aaron Jones as a receiver out of the backfield.

I think EQSB is going to do something on Thursday. This is pretty much his shot
@AdamSchefter: Cardinals’ DE J.J. Watt will undergo what is now likely to be season-ending shoulder surgery, sources tell ESPN. No date set yet for surgery.
Watt hurt his shoulder in the second quarter Sunday and still managed to play the rest of the game with the injury.
Cardinals were pissed..... there was way too much Packer news the last 2 days
For those who were pining/whining for the Packers to go get Watt last year, see above. At this stage of his career, just cannot stay healthy. Glad GB did not make that move.
Some might counter that comment with Z.Smith.
Jesus, I was just about to post that. GET OUT OF MY HEAD WITH YOUR DISCOURSE!
@H5 posted:Some might counter that comment with Z.Smith.
Comparing Watts health to Z’s? Since 2016, there really is no comparison. Watt has missed far more games and it’s not even close.
Comparing not extending Z vs not signing Watt? That’s probably more comparable (though we still don’t know if Z is back this season and will return to form if he does).
That's all well and good, but can you compare apples to oranges? Seems like fruit, but we are told we cannot.
@Boris posted:I think EQSB is going to do something on Thursday. This is pretty much his shot
Boris - I've actually had this same thought since Monday's news about DA. Despite what "fans" on this board think about EQ, it appears Rodgers likes the guy, his work ethic, and ability. I referenced this in the thread about AR's "ownership of the TBSS" comments on the McAfee podcast. AR specifically mentioned him by name and about EQ's ability. I guess we'll see. I'm hoping AR completes passes to 9-10 different targets and they rush for 150-200 yards.

This might have been a big deal 60 years ago when cars had only am receivers. It's not like WTMJ supplied the talent, format or content for Packer broadcasts. It's just a transmitter on the Packer radio network. As long as the market is covered, the Packers should go with the highest bidder.
