Thanks all for the well wishes. Surgery was uneventful and should make a quick recovery. Some pain right now, but is tolerable. Sure is tough doing everything one handed, especially when right handed and that is the one operated on.
Hey ammo.....wish you only the best in your recovery, may it be fast and no problems. 
Best wishes Ammo. Glad the surgery went well.
Ammo, our friends to the south made a delicious remedy for your pain.
Vicodin & Jack = no pain.
Glad everything went well Ammo

Hire some help.
Speedy recovery!

Well...I had the same issues as a teenager.
Time to invest in a fleshlight.
How many times do you have to stick your arm inside a cow the exact same way to get carpal tunnel? 
had this before Sunday's game for the first time. I loved it! Your experience may vary. 
Hope you're getting healed up Ammo! I had to get a cortisone shot in both wrists earlier this year for inflammation. Worked pretty well for a while, but I just need to take better care of them.
I just noticed that Herb Adderley's cousin Nasir Adderley (Delaware) is in the draft this year and actually looks pretty good. If he runs well (estimated in the 4.5's) he could be a nice pick in R2 or R3, definitely has ball skills. Gotta get this kid in GB for the family connection alone.
I saw that posted elsewhere. Think it was Fennel.
But yeah, fans would go nuts to see that name on the back of a Packers jersey again.
Reading that article on Gurgleurps made me think of one thing. That 4th rounder for HaHa could turn into a legit Olineman. Completely worth it.

True - Like Buck 🍒 or....
A D-Lineman. Like Mike Daniels.
Gems everywhere.
This mock has the Packers taking AR's successor in the first.
Unless they see a future pro-bowler in Lock, I can't imagine Gutey passing on this guy
Deionte Thompson, S, Alabama
C'mon. The Pack has gotta get some safety help.
Landon Collins. FA signing.
Everyone has spent a week talking about keeping TE's in to block and quick throws and the need to get Rodgers outside the pocket and how much Spriggs sucks (he does) while asking for more help on defense in the draft.
Greatest impact players are 5 slobs that make things easier for everyone else. Including guys that play defense.
Sure the game is won in the trenches. Agree 100%
Just at that spot in the draft. (Hey, Pack might draft higher) I'm not certain an OL or DL is worth it.
Value....value value value.....just like when Jaire was drafted. Use the draft capital correctly.
One thing that's reassuring, unlike Ted, Gutenschnitzel appears more then willing to use FA to fill holes. And not 4th tier FA's who are afterthoughts 2 months into FA, he looks like he's willing to make a splash early. Depending on cuts, the Packers should be really flush with cap space and cash. They could fill some key holes with proven players.
There's some good ones on that list. Tyrann Mathieu would also look good at safety here.
I don't know that Gutekunst will dive in earlier than Thompson did. He made a splash with Graham, but that hasn't worked out. That result could effect his approach in the future.
Pardon me if I'm a little gun shy of Safeties from Alabama.
Yeah. Same way I'm gun-shy of DL from FLA. St.
If you remember correctly....HaHa was a pro-bowler at one point before he decided to start "protecting this investment" by simply going through the motions on the gridiron.
The guess here is either some moronic team pays him big in FA (& regrets it) or HaHa retires.
I'd also like a shot at Earl Thomas
It's not coincidence that some of the greatest offensive lines in NFL history played for the guy who's trophy is handed out every year.
There's going to be a team that assembles a world class OL and breaks bread on defenses predicated to stopping a passing league. And that team will set records on time of possession while neutering edge rushing demons hell bent on getting upfield.
What I'm trying to say is this. If Lombardi was coaching today he'd look at the NFL landscape and he'd build another seven blocks of granite and road grade the entire league underground while letting his QB collect a few of his namesake trophies.

Great post. Just my stupid opinion but I think that philosophy will be back sooner than we think. Many seem to think that air raid type of offenses will take over but I bet that within a few years you will see it swing back to more traditional pro style offenses. Now I am not saying it will be a Wing T formation with 3 yards and a cloud of dust but more of a balanced style of offense to keep the teams who use the spread/read option off the field.
The greatest coaches in NFL history never chased the solution to a problem like everyone else. They simply created a better problem.

People thought due to the Bennett fiasco, and Gute being a disciple of Ted, he'd shy away from making a big signing in FA. He didn't. He signed Graham. He also surprised many when he made a bid to go get Kyle Fuller and signed him to an offer sheet. Yes, the Bears matched, but that's something Ted would have likely never even attempted. Then there's the Mo Wilkerson signing too.
The Packers may be as much as 50 million under the cap in 2019 depending on who's released. Cobb, Perry, Matthews, yes Graham who's in reality a one year deal, Bulaga and even Crosby. All big money contracts or guys making a lot at their positions that could be cut.
The NFL requires teams to spend I believe 89% of their cap on players. There are no Packer 2019 free agents that are priority signings. None. Sad because that says a lot about Ted's recent drafts.
JMO, but I see Gutey filling at least 2 of their holes with week one FA signings.
Jimmy Graham is on pace for 60 catches, 700 yards, and 3 TDs. We'd all like him to be more off an All-Pro level in the passing game, but it's unfair to call him a bust. He's overpaid - not a bust. We're paying him about 10 million a year - he should probably be about half that.
He was always a terrible blocker, so anyone who expected anything different there had never really watched him play before.
It’s not Graham’s fault GB has no idea how to use tight ends.
Graham has been a lazy pile this year. But GB is a TE wasteland.

I think he was part of the seven blocks of granite at Fordham, he didn't build it.
I agree that a dominant OL makes everything work smoother, but what you're describing you want is exactly what Dallas has done and it's not translated into real success. That's not to say OL shouldn't be a priority, but it's not THE priority. Every SB winner from the last 10 years has featured a franchise QB and a dominant defense. Invest in the defense, find 4 other Jaire Alexanders and we will win a SB.
There needs to be two OL picks in this draft. Mid rounder, great, but if it doesn't happen in FA it needs to happen in the draft. There isn't even decent depth on this team.

Hey thanks for the Fordham update. I’d missed that the first 7 times I watched his documentary. You’re the best. I meant he’d build a great..... OL today based..... on past....... **** it.
Dallas hasn’t translated because Dak isn’t Rodgers? Is that what you meant to say. Or did you mean to say Dak sucks?
7 times? Are you jacking off to a Vince Lombardi documentary?
Right so it's the QB and not the OL. Exactly what I said.
Way to kink-shame him, GD.
(Rule 34 implies there's Vince Lombardi porn somewhere, but I'm not looking for it.)
You're the expert on dead people porn are you not? Links?
