  1. I disagree. Look at Dallas, new stadium in Arlington. Look at San Fran, new stadium in San Jose. The reason a full upgrade was rejected at the county level was because of the money outlay. That same concern would exist for the outlay required for infrastructure improvements to make a downtown stadium viable. Even if the Pegulas pay for the whole damn stadium downtown you still have a ton of infrastructure upgrades that would have to happen on the state dime for it to be viable. They can build it, but getting people in and out is a state/county problem. We'll see how it all shakes out. I really am not that hung up on it. Everyone has a preference and my preference is OP. Specifically, redoing the Ralph.
  2. I got my money on one of these guys.
  3. Of course a great experience could be had downtown. An interesting concept for sure. I just don't see the point. Traffic would be ridiculous, and I don't believe for minute in the so called economic boost it would give downtown. St. Louis used the same argument when they built the TWA Dome (Now Edward Jones Dome) downtown. Just has not been the boon it was purported to be. Couple all of that with an existing field, parking, and tradition, I think a rebuild like Lambeau or Arrowhead is the better move.
  4. You know the Packers sucked big time for almost 30 years... Once Vince left -- that was it until Ron Wolf showed up. Some colossally bad teams in there. Anyone remember Charles "Hit list" Martin? Lambeau is a Football cathedral. A lot of that has to do with the tailgating before and the bar crawl after. I like the same things about the Ralph. I like that it is not oriented in the way the NFL likes. I like that my childhood teams played there. I friggin' love the tailgating. Green Bay, Buffalo, and Kansas City. Been to all three many times. Three of my favorite places to go for an NFL game. Green Bay and Kansas City didn't change it. I sure as hell hope we don't either.
  5. A lot of people like her. A lot of people dont. I have never seen her roll with exclusive material, always something that has already been said. She writes what she is told to write and I generally get the impression she does not know much about football.
  6. Mary Kay Cabot should be selling cosmetics. She is colossally bad.
  7. I would say hire more psychologists.
  8. Unless you are trolling for some swingers, who really cares?
  9. I live in Wisconsin and have been going to games at Lambeau for over 20 years. It was a s***hole before they remodeled it. Leaking sewage was the least of their problems. The friggin' exterior was corrugated tin for pete's sake. Lambeau is a first class stadium now. I would love to see the same type of transformation happen to the Ralph.
  10. I never set my password to something I can remember. I just use the system generated one. Then when I clear my browser I have to use the lost password link. It had been a pretty slow process, sometimes taking several minutes to get that link email. This morning it was instantaneous and the board is absolutely blazing. Nice job SDS.
  11. I pretty much agree with this take, I like him as competition for EJ too. I want EJ to have a chance to prove he can be the guy. If they bring in anyone like Bradford, I think the fans will be clamoring for Bradford immediately. Never mind the fact Bradford will be hurt in a matter of games, setting us back yet again. I would give up a 5th or later for Glennon, so we differ on opinions there. I would add that in addition to similar completion percentages, while Glennon has more career passing yards -- their yards per attempt are damn near identical as well. Pretty similar quarterbacks froma pure numbers standpoint. Cream would rise to the top in a competition.
  12. Nassib would be your guy, not that he is available. 97th percentile on the Wonderlic. EJ was 58th and Glennon was 45th percentiles respectively. http://nflphilosophy.com/a-visual-representation-of-nfl-quarterbacks/
  13. I think Glennon would be a good pick-up to have competition. He has middle of the road hands. Not small. Not big. http://nflphilosophy.com/a-visual-representation-of-nfl-quarterbacks/ I think EJ is going to get a legitimate shot, and I think he is going to make it. If not, Glennon is a good plan B and relatively cheap to acquire. Glennon has definitely shown more promise than EJ, while EJ's measurables are better.
  14. You will not find any posts from me cracking on Hackett.
  15. I think they want him back to coordinate the passing game. It has already been announced they plan on Lee and Sanjay doing it. Roman is going to do the running game only. Which I find odd. But I will take Hackett for Passing game coordinator over Lee and Sanjay anyday of the week. http://www.ninersnation.com/2015/1/26/7918529/greg-roman-to-focus-on-run-game-with-buffalo-bills
  16. As the friggin world turns. Can you say soap opera? This crap really is becoming a lot like the WWF
  17. Patriots internal study participants:
  18. Modrak was one of the worst things that ever happened to this franchise--hands down. After Donahoe got axed, I always wondered if him Modrak were getting together for drinks on Friday night laughing about the crap players Modrak could bring in to further screw Ralph.
  19. I don't buy that, if the guy that gave me my start wanted to come back to my company--I would not want him. I like him, I have nothing against him--but he is a micro-manager and I would not want anything to do with him in an employment setting again.
  20. Wall Street Journal and Slate are both running this now... http://www.wsj.com/articles/patriots-always-keep-a-tight-grip-on-the-ball-1422054846 http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2015/01/ballghazi_the_new_england_patriots_lose_an_insanely_low_number_of_fumbles.html
  21. For all we know this guy could have been part of the group that was crap talking Polian to Marrone.
