    Giannis is playing. This team is going to be lots of fun as they keep getting healthy. ETA: he literally left the floor as I made this post.

    It appears the $4 junior hot dog/nachos are going to be new. The article also said they are reducing the price on 15 other items - how much, obviously, remains to be seen. “In addition, the Brewers are reducing prices on 15 other food and beverage items this season, including staples like beer, craft cocktails, popcorn, peanuts and frozen custard.”

    Agreed. However, it will be interesting to see all the posters who trashed the Brewers while believing Burnes comments completely ignore what Rosiak said.

    Did I say he made it up? Nope. Exaggerated or didn’t articulate well what was actually said about the claims? Absolutely.

    It appears a common theme that many who are crapping on the Brewers about this has been to take Burnes’ comments about being told he was at the “forefront” of reasons we didn’t make the playoffs as the gospel truth. It seems to me, it is just as likely (or even more likely) he’s exaggerating these claims or at least not articulating them in the same manner as what happened during the hearing. Heck, when talking to McCalvy he uses perspires instead of transpires when talking about the relationship being hurt and we’re expecting him to have nailed exactly what was said about his role in missing the playoffs?

    You say the Brewers have been considered cheap since before Attanasio bought the team (and they definitely were under the Selig’s later tenure) but has that really had a huge impact on attendance up to this point? I looked at the last 10 years or so and they’ve been somewhere between 7th and 16th in average attendance, so it doesn’t seem to be having a major impact up to this point - why would it start now? Winning games seems to be a bigger factor in attendance and not any type of perceived cheapness.

    Well, the panel obviously thought that the Brewers number was more reasonable than what Burnes was asking for even when factoring in the comps/increases to other players you mentioned.

    I really can’t take anything from the Field of Schemes website seriously when they are just as biased about the issue but in the opposite direction. Not to mention, they can’t even do something simple as read numbers from the study correctly and handle basic math.

    I really don’t understand the bolded statement. Were you less of a Brewers fan when they’ve gone to arby with players in the past and did the exact same thing when making their arguments to the panel? Why aren’t you also upset at Burnes team for not meeting the Brewers in the middle and avoiding arby all together? The remaining 10 players who were all arby eligible managed to settle with the team and avoid this.

    Now? We’ve been talking about when we’ll need to move Burnes or let him walk due to cost since before he won the Cy Young.

    I have to imagine there was at least speculation of that based on his previous role under Fickell at Cincinnati. Wonder if he feels there is a better chance to get an OC role somewhere coaching QB’s instead of TE/Passing Game Coordinator?

    Interesting…

    Crowder to the Bucks for five 2nd round picks.

    Howard commits to UW.

    Yup.

    Well, thanks for being condescending. A few points: Did somebody say the organization does nothing but give to the city and surrounding community? On top of that, why should a business be expected to do that and not make money? You also really think the Packers have done nothing to earn the revenue because they “only provide one product”? And you are calling me naive? The local revenue is generated from the development of Lambeau Field itself and the year-round attraction it is for fans, from the Titletown District, from owning land around the stadium and area that has been developed, food/beer sales, merchandise, having events at the stadium and so on. Not to mention an additional game added to the schedule that they get additional revenue from as well. A majority of that stuff has been opened or significantly upgraded during the time-frame you quoted about their revenue increasing, so that would have a significant impact and not that they’ve just increased ticket and concession costs so Murphy and the front office can increase their yearly salary and don’t care about putting a winning product on the field. You also said that the Packers are the only front office that doesn’t have guaranteed salaries and have yet to provide any proof of that and I think wallus was asking about that too - but I’m sure you’ll ignore that and just insult us again.

    Exactly. Seemed reasonable to ask for something to back that up. I’d think if you say something outlandish like Hacksaw Jim, you should be ready to back up your statement with more than “Want some answers do some statistical evaluation. Not here to hold your hand.”

    Where are you getting over 4 hours a game? The articles from the last few years that I found with a quick google search all showed a 3:12 game average. I’d like to see more of the “we consulted and determined the spot, catch, etc was incorrect” that was incorporated more this year. When there is a penalty, they are already talking with the ref that threw the flag so having somebody up in the booth who can interject and correct the glaring mistakes shouldn’t increase game time too much.

    How do those links support anything you said in this post?
  21. areacodes
    I’ll take sveumrules posts with their, yes, objective information over many other posters here. I highly doubt they always think they are right but at least they take their time to back up their position (something that used to be valued here much more).

    You act as if it is a bad thing that he’s using stats to back up his positions.

    Is it really tampering if the player reaches out before going in the portal?
  24. areacodes
    I believe they said he’s missed 5 straight dating back to last week. Brady looks terrible in the few minutes I’ve watched of this game.

    Isn’t there another transfer window after Spring practice?
