Wisconsin vs. Washington State gamethread
OldHeidelberg replied to HarryDoyle's topic in Other Sports
I am not seeing that. Not one even decent run yet and our QB ran out of bounce for a six yard loss while in fg range when he could have thrown it away. Kicker looks good though… -
Wisconsin vs. Washington State gamethread
OldHeidelberg replied to HarryDoyle's topic in Other Sports
I have no idea why people think we will come out on top of the West or are #19. Just one of those things where there is assumption Wisconsin always decent I guess, Transition year but oof they look awful. -
The Packers wouldn’t trade Watson for Taylor straight up. You’re probably right, Colts weren’t really trying to trade him.
-
We don't like Strzelecki anymore, right?
-
It really is tempting, especially if you intend to bring everyone back next season. It would be the all in thing we have all pined for in the Burnes/Woodruff years. Plus, if you win the WS this year you can pull a Marlins and have a garage sale in the offseason and rebuild. No to Chourio but anything else I could probably learn to live with if we are talking just 2 top prospects and change.
-
I was just going post something similar but as usual wouldn't have nearly as much good information as your post. He has been solid and just got a nice return as a rental.
-
I don't see any talk anywhere here of Rodgers taking a pay cut with the Jets. My first thought was he wants them to trade for Bakh but reports this morning are maybe he was making room for Delvin Cook. It's probably more about his ego though, just wants to be like Brady and make it look like he has never been greedy. Cleans up his image a bit and maybe makes him more marketable. He also got a no tag clause so after 25 he can sign anywhere. Back on topic camp is here!

Maximizing Burnes and Woodruff
OldHeidelberg replied to RobDeer 45's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Yeah, unless you just don't get big enough offers for Woody and Adames due to injury/play in which case you see how 2024 goes and maybe trade them at deadline if things aren't going well. But Burnes you trade, he is such a talent and has been durable, I think the risk of passing up the haul he will demand is too high for the Brewers. A lot probably depends on how big they swing this deadline, we may need to restock the prospects but I doubt it. -
Was excited to watch a national game as I don’t have Bally but apparently fox La crosse thinks white Sox - twins is what I want to watch. 😡
-
Burnes showing his surprise allstar selection was warranted, 11 games over .500 for first time this year. I have had hard time getting excited about this team this year but I am coming around. :)

Cubs (Steele) vs Brewers (Houser): 7/5/23, 7:10pm
OldHeidelberg replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Archived Game Threads
So that’s 2 two run leads blown in the 9th in 5 days in the middle of a bunch of key divisional games. Super… -
Is Christian Yelich back?
OldHeidelberg replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
He cracked ,270 and .800 OPS today. He had an almost 4 week homer drought since this thread started but definitely not having the extended slumps that drove us nuts the last couple of years. For me he is like a Braun after his fall from grace, it has made me a bigger fan, I really really want him to make all the naysayers wrong about the contract. One thing he has that Braun didn’t is the ability to stay on the field. Fingers crossed.. -
Some good points in there, especially about the loss of social connections. I was laid off once and it was after I was at the company for 10 years, I got 16 weeks severance and it was June so I went home feeling like "paid vacation!", went out with friends and got drunk. Man, waking up the next morning was maybe the worst I have ever felt, it's a real kick in the groin to be pulled out of something that became such a part of your life. You always try but eventually lose touch with most of the friends you have at your job. Now that I am older and more secure in my career, I have embraced the quit and then look for a job mentality when I have had enough, I don't think gaps in employment has the stigma it used to. If they can drop me anytime why shouldn't I get to take this job and shove it? Good luck and sorry you lost your job.

Not this gold package holder. If that is true that is the second straight year they stuck us with the Thursday night game. Sunday night is ok but almost everyone I know who goes to games prefers Sunday afternoon games. I think this will be my last year as ticket holder, probably cheaper to just go to the games I want on stub hub anyway.
-
If all of the almost unbelievable parallels between the careers of Rodgers and Favre continue the packers, having the extra second round pick, will take a QB in the second to cover themselves in case Love flops. Of course, it will be the new QB, maybe that guy from Tennessee. who busts like Brohm did. :)
-
As usual I don't really pay attention until draft week but I think OL is thin but good at the top of the draft. I feel like if we draft at #13 we may get the best value there as other needs like TE and Edge can maybe be addressed in the second round or later. Skoronski sounds a lot like Bulaga. I do think if we trade back I wouldn't mind trading into next year draft. I know we already have but we have enough picks this year and next year we will have a year of Love at QB to know where we are and the extra premium picks may payoff better. Maybe Seattle wants Richardson and he falls to #13? Can't wait for tonight, glad we have something to get us over the Bucks so quickly.

I have been an advocate for building inside out and drafting stud lineman on both sides of the ball for a few years now. And with the switch at QB it may be a good time to start. As usual I am a little late getting into the draft but OT seems like a position that may be BPA at 13 and I agree we could use one. I also think we are so close now that trading up for one of the 2 elite Edge guys would be tempting, maybe one gets to 5 or 7 and we could trade up? I think there are some concerns with Wilson's foot that may drop him. Getting to 3 would do it but would take a haul and I am not interested in spending that much on one player until we know what we have in Love.

Colombia I think is a bit underrated as a retirement destination. I looked into it and if you invest 200K there, which can be just buying a house/property, you can get some sort of visa/residency. I could basically trade my house for one down there and am guessing it would be a bit of an upgrade over what I have here. Health care is cheap and good. I am leaning toward Mexico if I do it though, I like that it's drivable and I think it would be a little easier to adjust to things culturally there than in some of the other countries mentioned here.
-
I think Gutes has already said they planned on doing that, not directly but more like he said Love has shown them enough to warrant it. Now of course it is a given.
-
That is a good point, there probably is a fair chance the Pat's or Jets would pick our top player. I think Skoronski or Smith-Njigba would be a pleasant surprise at 13.
-
Since the Jets want the contract reworked before the trade does that mean the Packers are going to eat some more salary/bonus in exchange for the jet's "generosity" in pick compensation? I guess it could work either way but I think I heard it was the Jets asking for the new contract before the trade.
-
After thinking about it a while it seems like we pretty much got the same deal that has been rumored the last few weeks. We didn't get the unprotected first and the Jets didn't get a potential 25 pick if Rodgers retires. I do think the jets sort of won the narrative here, nobody believed Rodgers was really 90% thinking retirement but they reportedly used it as leverage. Seattle and Detroit picking in top 10 hurt us too but that's not really fair as the Rams got a Lombardi for their trouble. I saw on NFL network an estimate that everything the Packers got(of course '24 pick is variable) was worth about pick #21. Since I said I thought the #13 pick alone was fair comp I guess I can't complain too much. I think it will be key for this trade if moving up to #13 pans out. If the Packers pick at that spot there is probably a good chance they could have had the same player at #15 and end up just paying more for him. On the other hand the higher you are the better chance you are sitting in a key trade up or trade down position, especially with 4 QB's going high possible.

When I read the initial reports on the McAfee interview while at work yesterday they did make it sound like he was blaming the Packers when they took one quote out of context. Later when I saw more of the interview I realized he was really just explaining that they weren't waiting on his decision anymore, he didn't sound hostile to the Packers to me. I think those early reports are what gave that impression to some.
-
I think the 13th pick all by itself would be fair compensation, but I can see why the Jets likely won't give it up. If they are going all in with Rodgers for a year or 2 they need that starter. It's a premium pick and reading Jets forums they still need some help on the oline. Future picks they would probably part with easier as they hope they will be later in the rounds. I also think the Packers should be fine with picks in 24 and 25 as it will help to build around Love. They have been running a top 10 Rodgers moments on NFL network all morning, reminded just how great it has been having him all these years and I agree it's sort of sad to see him shown the door even if I agree with it. It also made me think those who think he isn't worth much in a trade are wrong.
-
I read that Silverstein reported Gutes said he wanted to move on with Love late in the season. Seems to be plenty of smoke here, enough for me to think we have seen the last of Rodgers playing QB in GB. The jets 13 pick would be nice, is the Raiders 7 pick too much to hope for?
