My favorite Ted Thompson quote:
"I know for a fact that they donโt have any inside information because sometimes Iโm the only inside information and Iโm not telling anybody.โ
An OBJ thought: no team is going to sign him for more than the offset amount. If they were willing to pay that much for him, they would have just claimed him on waivers.
Therefore, all his offers will be for vet min deals. Money not a factor in his decision.
Per
@PFF
, David Bakhtiari allowed one pressure in 43 pass-blocking snaps last night. He's so good we simply forget about him -- and the Bears didn't even really bother trying to line Mack up against him.
He was arrested, is alive and well, and will get his due process.
Jacob Blake is partially paralyzed. George Floyd is dead. Breonna Taylor is dead. Countless others are dead.
That's systemic racism in action.
BREAKING: Kyle Rittenhouse of Antioch, Illinois arrested in Illinois related to the Kenosha shooting.
He will be charged with 1st Degree intentional homicide.

The Packers once had Julius Peppers signed and literally standing on Lambeau Field before the public knew anything. Rodgers kept his engagement quiet an entire football season. Feel safe saying that if the two sides talk extension, we wonโt hear about it until itโs done.

Which of those guys deserves to be in the Pro Bowl?
I've never before seen all of Twitter united like it is right now about stopping the Bills-Bengals game. It's unfathomable that they plan to continue playing
You know what would make America great? Kids not fucking dying at school. This is our seemingly weekly reminder that "thoughts and prayers" don't change a damn thing. Donate time and money. Vote. Propose legislation. Act on those sentiments or get out of the way.
Before the draft, I said Dare Ogunbowale would be a perfect fit in GB as a UDFA. Instead, they drafted 3 RBs. He visited GB this week, they have an open roster spot, and they're down to 2 healthy RBs. Do it, Ted.
Dear Gutey:
Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid. Call Eric Reid.
Thanks.
I just noticed that the Lions have played in the early time slot in EVERY GAME this season. SNF in GB will be the first time they kick off later than 1 PM ET all year.

Pro Bowl pass-rusher Za'Darius Smith informed the team that he wants to be released, Iโm told. The team has no plans to do that. The situation remains unresolved.
SOCIAL EXPERIMENT: If you come across this tweet, reply with the one athlete youโd wish had been perfectly healthy their whole career.
Donโt read the replies before you reply.
I'm hearing that this reporter is taking a lot of flak for not recognizing Jaire instantly while on-air.
That's ridiculous. The fact she thought he was a fan in the moment is something to laugh about, not a reason to send hateful or abusive messages.
QB Aaron Rodgers said he has been vaccinated. "It's a personal decision. It's an interesting issue." He said he wasn't going to criticize teammates who weren't vaccinated.
People are in Rob's mentions saying people are trying to cancel Rodgers. As if there's any world in which it makes sense for a confirmed anti-vaxxer to be a spokesperson for a healthcare company
Today, Todd McShay mocked D.K. Metcalf to the Packers at 12. His next three picks at 13, 14, 15? Ed Oliver, Montez Sweat, and Brian Burns.
Excuse me, what?
Some thoughts:
1: Everybody involved deserves some blame for the failures of the last decade. Mike, Aaron, Ted, Murphy, all of them.
2a: Don't listen to the sources who have demonstrated that have a personal axe to grind against one of them in particular (e.g. Jennings/Finley)
Alabama safety Jordan Battle confirmed that he has a formal meeting with the Packers tonight.
@JuMosq
and
@TylerDBrooke
have him as one of the best true safeties in this year's class
Notable news here for

The cat's out of the bag so:
SB Nation is going to end its support for APC's podcast feed, along with the rest of their team sites.
Been a good ride in the audio space. The text portion of APC will remain the same.

Brian Gutekunst should be asking about the Dolphinsโ asking price for Minkah Fitzpatrick. The versatile DB apparently wants out of Miami and would fit great in the Packersโ defense
As bad as Carson Wentz was last year, he was a legit Top 10 QB the 3 previous years. And obviously Frank Reich believes in him. I will be more surprised if it doesnโt work out with the Colts than if it does.
