  1. He deleted it. Hope our fans don't forget.
  2. Outside of Portis, our bench really sucks. Lopez looks cooked. He's turned into a complete liability. DDV had a nice night tonight but really hasn't emerged in the way we had hoped for. Would be a heck of a 6th man, but I'm not sure he'll ever be anything more. All in all you still have Giannis trying to carry a supporting cast that simply isn't good enough. There's been a lot of turnover in the last 2 years. But they certainly haven't gotten better.
  3. Odd, borderline lazy reporting by Herman. If you assume a moderate decrease in the cap and factor in the Packers' adjustments, they're about $20 million over the cap AFTER Bakh's restructuring yesterday. Restructuring Rodgers and extending Adams ALONE would free up $23 million, getting them below the cap. The four cuts he notes would free up an additional $21.25 million, putting the Packers at $24.25 BELOW the cap. Stating that that would just be the "STARTING POINT to get under the cap" is literally factually incorrect. I pointed a lot of this out to him in the most civil of ways and he blocked me. I was kinda shocked honestly. I assume you're talking about Andy, not me.
  4. I mean he lives in Wisconsin, so he's literally already here! I mean I live here too and don't really like it. But that's probably because it's been below zero for seemingly the last 74 days.
  5. We don't know that he would have come here for that same amount, though. But I definitely would have gone 1/10 or so. Odorizzi and Walker are really the only intriguing starters left.
  6. The NFL is not without its warts, but I've truly come to appreciate their competitive balance. It is something that no other sport has been able to achieve. Market size is irrelevant to winning. Dynasties are extremely rare and those who build then truly earn it. Likewise most perennial doormats put themselves in that situation and didn't get there by being outspent.
  7. You think the over/under is that the Dodgers will go 122-40 next season? I'll take the under. Added Bauer and resigned Turner. 116 wins based on pct last season.Aside from SD what team in Division is fielding an 80 win team? NL central is filled with 80win teams that will have at least 1 exceed since half games played vs eachother. You can't just extrapolate last season's record to assume they were a 116 win team in a full season. Too small of a sample size.
  8. He got what he wanted. Not the 3rd year but the Brewers drove his price up.
  9. My guess is he was never going to come here.
  10. I thought this was the Justin Turner trade speculation/rumors/news thread.
  11. It's entirely possible that Turner has no intention of signing with the Brewers and is leveraging us to get the best possible deal from LA with every intention of taking it in the end. It's also possible he's seriously considering us. We have to be prepared that there's a chance of either. Curious as to what 3 years might look like if we made a 3 year offer. 3/45?
  12. "Friends I’m not sure who still needs to hear this but cutting Preston, Lowry, Kirksey & Wagner, along with restructuring Rodgers, Adams & Bakhtiari is the STARTING POINT to get under the cap. That doesn’t include signing or re-signing any free agents. GB has serious work to do."
  13. What it does do, though, is make it that much more difficult to squeeze anyone else onto their 40-man roster. Kolarek may have been vulnerable to a DFA had they signed Turner, but it is highly doubtful they would try to DFA Neuse after just acquiring him in a deal. Looking at their roster, I'm not real sure who else would be deemed DFA-worthy. They now have 8 infielders on the 40-man if you include Chris Taylor. Is the Dodgers 40 man that good and deep where you have to worry about who you squeeze out to make room for Justin Turner? Yikes.
  14. Mike Moustakas is just a guy. I don't know why he has such a cult following. He has a lower career WAR than Kolton Wong despite being 2 years older. I have no idea why someone felt him worthy of a 64 million dollar contract. I don't begrudge him for it, he seems like a nice guy. But I'm glad it wasn't us.
  15. Saw from Eli Berkovits (Packer Report writer) that James White is very interested in coming to Green Bay. I think White would be a great fit for this team. Should be cheap. Should see plenty of pass catching opportunities, could take the 3rd down work with Dillon getting early downs. I'm assuming both Jones and Williams are gone.
  16. Should be noted though that 4th and 26 was a divisional playoff game, not a conference championship. They still would have had to go on the road to Carolina and win the following week to reach the Super Bowl.
  17. Bryant has one year of control and it isn't cheap and he's coming off a down season. The Cubs aren't going to get a big return from any system.
  18. Unfortunately the Dodgers hold all the cards. They know Turner wants to be there and might not be budging in the knowledge that eventually Turner will just take the 1 year offer there in the end. Or call their bluff and take 2-3 from us.
  19. I wouldn't think Villar would have anything to do with Justin Turner. Kris Bryant sure would though.
  20. The Mets and Cubs are actively discussing a Kris Bryant trade. Noteworthy because that would certainly take the Mets out of the Justin Turner running.
  21. LOL @ the Eagles if they screw this up. They should be happy to get anything noteworthy for Wentz at all. For them to hold out for a Stafford type return is insane. More insane if somebody gives it to them.
  22. That means nothing. Momentum can change on a dime and scores can happen quickly regardless of the pace up until that point. If you're up against a punchless offense I can understand this argument but Seattle always had the capability of turning it around. Once they got the ball in OT I knew there was no way we were keeping them out of the endzone despite how the first 55 minutes of the game went. There was zero reason to go down on that play in that situation. Burnett had a pretty decent chance to score but at the very least he would have gotten in FG range. What argument? I wasn't saying anything about the slide. I didn't even quote you. I was just pointing out they'd been hapless and it was ridiculous the Packers lost that game. Sorry. I misunderstood and thought you were implying that the slide was the right move because Seattle's offense hadn't done anything that day. I agree it took way too many horrible happenings to lose the game.

  24. It was 12 at that point, I believe. Whoops, you're right. 19-7, not 16. Still, 2 score game.
  25. The Seattle NFC Championship is the only time I've ever seen a defender scream at an intercepting player to just fall to the ground with over 5 minutes left in a 9 point game. Bizarre.
