Packers have named Ed Policy as their next Chairman, President and CEO. pic.twitter.com/8nKs5pJNXO

On paper, it seems like the board got this one right. I was never a giant fan of WMM from the start, and that was well before the Silos of Fuckery nonsense.
Please Ed, restore the organizational structure to the Packers that every other NFL team uses. Coaches coach. GM's manage. Presidents make sure the lights are kept on. Leave the football to the football guys.
Exactly!
No surprise. Policy has always been the heir presumptive, with a lot of time to prepare for the top position.
Also, I know Murphy takes a lot of stick here but all in all heâs done a great job. The franchise is on solid footing and poised for a long run of on-the-field excellence.
Hereâs the official announcement from 1265:
May be why the city and the Packers postponed their lease negotiation's.
This is BS. Should have been Russ Ball !!!!
I always thought it would be Policy, sort of a foregone conclusion. I actually would have been shocked to see someone else from the 90 or so applicants. That the search firm they hired recommended him speaks volumes. Also, by all accounts Policy cherishes the Packers tradition and calls us "the peoples team". He's a mid west guy (grew up in Ohio) and loves living in Green Bay.
But what is his stance on sledding hills?
I worked at a state owned university. I heard the word "policy" at least 4 times a day, I hate that word.
Big shoe to fill.
Following Bob Harlan would have been harder.

In my world, when I heard the word "policy" it had the word "insurance" in front of it. I think this makes you qualified for the position. You could have been the 91st applicant.

Anything is possible - with enough pairs of socks in this case.
I was today years old when I learned that Ed is Carmen Policy's son. Good genes!

Nope, just a coincidence. A lot of little Policys running around there in the NFL circle.

A lot of the internet seems to think that Ed Policy is Carmen Policy's son.
They all look the same.

Take it up with The Press Gazette.

Policy was raised in Youngstown, Ohio
Policy attended high school in Youngstown, Ohio, where he played football. His father, Carmen Policy, was a renowned attorney in Youngstown, which is about 56 miles from the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton and 75 miles from Cleveland. Carmen grew up with Ed DeBartolo Jr., owner of the San Francisco 49ers, and became involved with the team in the early 1980s, when Ed Policy was in grade school. The family home remained in Youngstown.
Policy has two brothers â one a surgeon, the other an attorney â and two sisters, one an attorney and the other with an MBA.
Policy said Youngstown was a lot like Green Bay â a working-class community, a football town and a good place to raise children. Youngstown suffered and hasn't recovered from being too reliant on steel production. He sees the Titletown district as one way for Green Bay to avoid a similar fate.
"That experience impacts how I approach this and how I approach wanting to make sure this community and this economy is diversified, is attracting young people and is ready to take on the challenges of the coming years," he said during the 2016 interview.
Carmen is definitely Edâs son.
I need to hear this from Maury Povich to be sure.
I want to see his birth certificate.
None of that 'short form' shit either!
If Policy does as well as I think he will then his siblings will have a real shot at becoming Attorney General and Surgeon General of Wisconsin. Plus, he looks Italian. Are we about to have another Italian running the show?
Godfather.
Zero issues with a "non football guy," being the president of the Packers. In fact, it's probably better this way. Harlan never micromanaged Ron Wolf...doubt he would have ever insisted on being a part of any coaching hires unlike WMM.
A true leader admits when something isn't their area of expertise, and leans on the opinions of others who possess that expertise. Never appeared to be one of WMM's strong suits...

The Kenyan one or the American one?
Whichever one makes me the bigger asshole.

The Mighty Green Bay Packers have more than 525,000 shareholders
IF each of those shareholders has a net worth of $100,000, then the Packers "owners" have $52.5 Billion in net worth.
Could be more, might be less but the Packers collectively have some deep pockets
So what you are saying is that the smallest city with the smallest NFL market, has the 2nd richest team in the NFL. Works for me. You would think we were Luxembourg - or something. 
I figured the Net Worth of each GBP owner to be $64,000.

So youâre saying owning a piece of the Pack for people like Kiel actually made the poor?
