Yah, me too, watching I mean, not even a morsel of when the network is going to be in Green Bay. D*mn, and I'm really starting to get a tad upset.......������
Seems to me like 19-0, at worst.

That's cuz we don't have Rex Ryan or Jerruh in our camp so the can dry hump them, we're all about football so we're much to boring for them to cover
They had some extended coverage about 2 weeks ago.

Yeah if MM would just eat a dog biscuit in front of the press like Ryan did, we'd get on for sure.
Do any of you really care what the media has to say about the team you have followed forever?

I care.
I, like Pikes Peak, would rather be under the radar, as long as we're on national TV a lot once we start the season. Let the Cowboys and others win the "respect from the media" bowl.
I wasn't talking to you GL. Keep out of it. I couldn't care less if you care.
Sorry, but unless BSPN loves my team I can't sleep at night.
John Anderson, sports center host, was born in Green Bay WI. He digs everything WI. Probably explains why he's never gotten his own show.

You sure seem to get ruffled when certain Vikings articles are published. 
Totally different. Everyone knows the Vikings suck.
Damn you Rusty!

So that means you have been taping the entire day? Good if that is true - because I was going to ask if anyone was watching NFLN during the day. I have sent two emails to the NFLN. The first worded much nicer than the second. I accuse them of lieing (spell?) because they say they cover all 32 teams when at most they cover 31. I have not received a response from either.
I was listening to McCarron on Packers.com and he mentioned that practices weren't allowed to be taped - I assume for outside consumption - cause you know the Packer team is recording it. So have they prevented any recording devices from being brought into the practice facility? I was wondering if GB has prohibited the NFLN from taping or interviewing anyone from the Packers - and that is why they don't have any GB. But then it would be a simple matter to tell me that in an email - big assumption on my part.
Anyway, if they aren't airing something about GB I move on.
C'mon guys....The Factory of Sadness (Browns) is SO interesting!!
Saw an attendant at Thursday's practice ask a fan in front of me if he was recording video? Of course, he was, but denied it. Told him it was against the rules.
The networks will be forced to cover us before long... as the can of whoop-ass we are going to be throwing down on the rest of the league will be epic. Not to worry.

Since NFLN is wholly owned and operated by the NFL I don't think the Packers could prohibit them. Hell, the Patriots have been on a hell of a lot since TC has opened, and if there's any franchise that would go behind the wall of silence and shadows it is that one.

Surprised he still has a job there.
Both NFL Network and ESPN have been offering wall to wall Cowboys camp this year. Unwatchable!!!

Super Bowls are a fine way of receiving coverage. Even on Food Network and Lifetime.
That guy will forever and ever be "that guy" in the Traing Day bathtub scene.
I'm almost just the opposite of many on the board here when it comes to national media coverage of the Pack. Let the media cover and talk about all those other teams and let the Pack just do their talking by winning every week.
That said, when the Packers did win every week in 2011, I thought the coverage was almost too much. The Pack's record indicated they were deserving of the coverage with a perfect season brewing, but I never thought the defensive guys were sufficiently humbled by how lax they played at times that year. The defensive guys bought into the hype a little bit too much and when the offense had an off day in the playoffs, the defense wasn't there to bail them out.
Once in awhile there's a week or 2 where I do wish the Pack was covered a bit more, but for the most part for the past 23 years, I think the Pack has had more than its' fair share of coverage overall.

I may have told this story before. Years ago when I lived in WI my cousin and his sons visited us in Grafton. We went to practice. My cousin was undercover DEA in CA at the time and was blown away by the calm. Players and fans just being players and fans. He saw Clay chatting with a 70'ish year old woman and everyone just gave them space.
He grabbed me and said this would never go down in Cali without 50 armed security officers.
Parents with kids that did this with their parents.
What a special kind of place.
Unless there is a country concert. Then it's a complete **** show requiring a whole heard of meat wagons to carry the drunks away.

Because the freakin NFC East owns their pathetic asses!
Now is when the roster and depth chart starts to come into focus. Family Night is in the rear view mirror.

You must have attended Country On The River near Prairie du Chien this weekend.

Goodson behind Sam Shields. Kind of interesting.
Jake Ryan ahead of Mulumba.
Banjo might be fighting for a job this year
Ryan's in the middle, Mulumba is outside. Banjo needs to step into the Bush role.
Banjo is a good player, as is Jean Fanor. Both will find it difficult to make our roster. That is how deep we are at S with Burnett, Clinton-Dix, Hyde and Richardson, all performing at a very high level. Great to see! To think how much of a problem the S position was for us during the 3 years following the loss of Nick Collins...
Nice turnaround.
Something tells me Micah Hyde and Ha Ha are going to be pick machines this season. I wonder if either of them can match or exceed Woodson's INT totals from his best years, 9 in 2009 and 7 in 2011?

I didn't know Demovsky had it in him.
Seems a little strange for a beat reporter to be doing Packer quality control and statistical analysis quite like this entails...but as Ron Wolf said...this is a special place.
FWIW, I remember Marshall Newhouse finishing very high in these rankings a few summers ago.

No. Picks are down league-wide as the trend have moved back to safer, higher-completion passes. For all the flack Cutler and Rivers take for picks, they were still in the teens while leading the league.
In 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, (Woodson's resurgence) at least three guys were in the 20s
