No wishful thinking at all with my statement. I didn't say we are OK at kicker. I stand by the fact that the snaps on kicks were all over the place. We need a new long snapper. We need competition at kicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me really wants it to be a magnificent event and go off without a hitch for my home town.

I need the computer by my side to get more information immediately so I can prognosticate the next ten years of some kid's life before he even signs a contract. I also question, where are attendees going to stay for this event? I imagine every hotel room in GB is booked, as well as Appleton. Will there be people staying as far away as Milwaukee? Cruise ships and the booze train from Milwaukee, obviously. https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2023/05/24/green-bay-packers-knew-may-9-theyd-get-nfl-draft-but-had-to-wait-3-weeks-more/70251192007/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I don't think I have seen this one here. Not bad for our 5th WR. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the probably week it takes to get from New Orleans or Miami all the way through the St Lawrence to Green Bay, which is quite the divot in spring break usage. Which kind of brings it to, would you rather stay in Green Bay, on a cruise ship, for probably 5000, or pay 300 to stay in Milwaukee and just drive 2 hours?

Maybe the Packers could trade him for a couple of 1st rounders to one of the WR needy teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start a thread on this. I have a place in Door County where some could stay. I also have a friend whose parents house is in DePere, and he'd rent it to me/us for a reasonable fee. It wouldn't be hard to have a meet up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any rookie they draft will be toast if they have him as their starter especially with that OL. I kinda hope he is. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passion. Quickness. Heart. It goes beyond the number. Also? The arm talent from Love is borderline ridiculous. Angles, fade aways, firing forward...etc. And the offense...many times, there were other guys open on a lot of those routes. Dang. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that people will make a killing renting out their places for an Air B&B. You could take your vacation basically for free, depending where you went, probably make a profit.

My wife will simply not rent out our cottage. Guests with us are fine, but no strangers in her perfect little cottage. We could easily pull in 4-6k a year by renting the place out when we are not there. But nope. Not gonna happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
