watching Kevin Greene speech right now, I miss having him coaching LBs

[TwoStep2888]

ok now fast-forwarding to Favre

[TwoStep2888]

this is magic

[TwoStep2888]

great speech, moving speech, funny speech, Favre speech

[antsmarching777]

Great speech that really captured the roller coaster that is Favre. Really miss getting to watch him play.

Rodgers may end up being the 'better' statistical QB, but he's no Favre. He can be a real dick. Just smile and laugh, ass.

Jokes are usually funny the 15th time you hear them.

I took Rodgers' look as more bemused than angry or annoyed. They will never be BFF's but he and Favre have made their peace.

[TwoStep2888]

yeah I was fine with Rodgers' reaction to the joke

[Timebomb07]

I get he's heard it a hundred times, and that they'll never be best buds. All of which is fine, I'm glad they've made up, but I'm not a huge fan of that reaction at that time. I've never been in love with his personality, though, so maybe that's why I'm being a little harsh.

Happy 97th birthday!

enjoying preseason football

[TwoStep2888]

thought Callahan did well for preseason, wouldn't mind Packers carrying him on the roster behind Rodgers and Hundley

defense looked good, two safeties and a pick; looks like we might have a new punter too. I can't wait for the regular season to start

[TwoStep2888]

50,000th post, go Packers

[TwoStep2888]

Callahan! Crockett! 3rd string looking good

[Timebomb07]

Liked what I saw from Hundly. Sucks his ankle can't hold up, but he looked very composed and hit his targets with a couple of strong throws.

Stopped watching midway through the 2nd because my stream was so choppy. It kept pausing mid snap and picking back up after the play was over.

Tretter wins starting C job

[TwoStep2888]

first series with Rodgers was kind of a mess, had a big 48 yard play by Adams called back with a flag

[TwoStep2888]

better second series, a Rodgers » Cobb TD, and Rodgers is done for the night

[TwoStep2888]

Callahan » Geronimo 51-yarder was fun

[TwoStep2888]

Packers cut Mortell, sign punter waived by TB, cut Masthay

[jaking1185]

Punting could be ugly this season when a Tampa castoff is the choice.

[clayj41]

Never punt. I like it.

Seriously... I know nothing about the guy (where he's played in the past) but punting in Lambeau in December/January is no joke. At a very least, much different than punting in Tampa or getting to play in the NFC South.

Sitton cut......

[TwoStep2888]

I don't know what;s going on!!!!!!!!!!!

[antsmarching777]

Ok, I was trying really hard to not melt over Sitton, but then Barrington got cut and I'm in full meltdown. WTF IS HAPPENING UP IN GB!??! ILB looks like Jake Ryan, Blake Martinez and Joe Thomas... A little thin!

SITTON IS ONE OF THE BEST GUARDS IN THE NFL!!!

[TwoStep2888]

yeah I don't understadn this at all

[antsmarching777]

I forgot about Beniquez Brown at ILB...

[antsmarching777]

Lovato is cut, leaving no designated long snapper on the roster one week before regular season begins.

Per Packers.com:

Ted Thompson - “We want to thank Josh for his contributions during his time in Green Bay. He has been an important part of the success we have enjoyed on the field,” Thompson said. “While these decisions are never easy, this was done with a focus on what is best for the team and the growth of the offensive line. We wish Josh and his wife, Kristen, all the best in the future.”
