Adam Schefter was on the Dan Patrick Show today and basically said neither the Rodgers camp or the Packers have fed info about what is going on.  He said it was just an accumulation of information he’s heard since the season ended and just thought it was a good idea to mention it, on draft day, because, you know, ratings and clicks.

Is all that we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?

That info was released on draft day by the Rodgers camp and it was done with a purpose.  Not letting the owners off the hook.  They do that stuff all the time.

I read Schefter so many times and he's been wrong before.  There was something calculating releasing that info on the day of the draft by Rodger's camp or GB.  It happens all the time.

I don't believe that at all.  If Rodgers is telling multiple people that he's so disgruntled (Schefter's report) that he wants out then it's Rodger's leaking it to anybody and it was a planned release.

Oh I know but Rodger's leaked it.  It was well known he had enough.  So did he ok them to release the info the day of the draft or did Schefter decide to do it all by himself then the avalanche of info?  Feels like what he said on Patrick's Podcast was take one for Rodgers so he still has that connection for info.

Bucs play the Cowboys in the opener, Tom faces his former team in week 4, Green Bay signed Bortles. I can't believe I'm following so much football this off season, it's been ages since I've done so.

They try but most of the schedule was leaked, so any excitement and surprises were tempered by the time the “official release” happened.

Broncos schedule doesn't look that difficult (on paper, things always change), meaning they could challenge the Chiefs for the division title once they trade for Rodgers next month.  :hat

Next to the Steelers, the Ravens have the most difficult schedule (based on last year's records).  Those are the breaks with the rotating division schedules.

As a 'fan', I hate how it is set up for this year.  Only one 1pm start during the first five weeks.  Their first 1pm home game is not until Week 6.  Only 9 of 17 are 1pm starts before any 'flexing' happens.  The late starts eliminate any thoughts of hosting or visiting with friends, or going to the bar and watching a half.

There is a stretch of three straight home games, a bye, and then another home game.  Following that is four road games in five weeks.  No team should have more than two consecutive home or road games, but the NFL does this constantly.  Also, two road MNF games, and one road TNF.  No idea why such a historically winning program so rarely gets a home game on Monday night.

 

...going along with Dragon Attack's Queen thread has been like taking a free class in Queen knowledge. Where else are you gonna find info like that?!

Sure enough but they did a 3 hour special last night. Name me one other sport that keeps people's attention year around. Curling?  ;D

I actually watched about 20 minutes of women's curling last weekend.  Switzerland against the unofficial Russian team.  Some real talent on those teams.  ;-)

I think it's hilarious how the Giants have two MNF games.... at KC and at TB  :lol and their home schedule is 7x 1pm games.  Totally irrelevant team and as a fan, I understand.

You do realize that schedules are pre-determined, right?  It is already set ahead of time what divisions you are playing from year to year outside of your own, and because the Steelers won their division, they get two more divisions winners from last year, and because the Bucs finished 2nd in their division, they get two more 2nd place teams from last year. 

But, keep on, keeping on with the conspiracy talk.

Part of it is the division teams are in. The Cowboys play in the worst division in football and they play those teams 6 times. Same with the Bucs as they play in a pretty easy division. However, the Steelers play in a really hard division so that's part of the equation.

Yes, but you do realize it's Dream Team, and it's Brady, so there's no possible way it could be otherwise.    Brady is also responsible for The Adrenaline Mob, Michael Weatherly leaving NCIS, Ben Affleck as Batman, Chik-fil-A closing on Sunday, and Napster.

Chick-fil-A not being open on Sundays is a little irksome at times, but anyone responsible for The Astonishing deserves a pat on the back.

Unless you are someone whose political leanings can affect your taste buds, which would be quite be impressive ;), it doesn't get any better than CfA when it comes to fast food.  That is admittedly a low bar to clear, but their food is yummy.  And their drive-thru service is unreal.  I went there a few weeks ago and there was a line wrapped around the entire building.  At McDonald's, it would have taken 20 minutes to get through it (and like an hour at Steak N' Shake). That day I was through it in just over five minutes at CfA.  :hat :hat

I first had CFA when I worked at a Baskin-Robbins at a mall from 1985-88.  CFA, Burger King and Orange Julius were about the only options for an actual meal (maybe there was a Sbarros too?).  Awesome nuggets.  After I stopped working at the mall, I probably didn't see another CFA until about 15 years ago.  Their fries are a little meh, but the nuggets and sandwiches remain at the top of the fast-food chicken game.  Their lemonade is really good too, albeit more pulpy than I like.

I put them in the "not bad" category.  Their breakfasts are really good.  The chicken sandwiches...they are good.  They are not great.  I don't get the fanaticism.
