Buy Favre's Truck

Looks like some Mississippi hillbilly is selling Brett's truck.  

I'm not in need of wheels, but I think this truck may provide me with the quiet leadership I need to get ahead in my life.  I expect this truck to make everything around me better, especially things that are not related to it at all!  

...And Then There Were None

So we missed signing Chris Canty to a 6 year/$42 million deal, with 15+ guaranteed.  Was he worth that money? Of course not.  Could the Packers have used Canty to solidify a big hole in the defense?  Shit yea.  So no Canty, but luckily alternatives remain - and, on the plus side, they're MUCH cheaper.

Igor Olshansky

The top 3-4 defensive end left in the market.  Standing 6'6" and tipping the scales at 309 lbs. he has the prototypical build of a 3-4 defensive end, but has never really been the force many thought he would be as a second round pick out of Oregon.  There's a reason San Diego isn't bringing him back, he just hasn't lived up to any of the expectations out in California.  He's only 26, and has a lot of upside, although he appears to be a real head-case.  Will a move to Green Bay ignite Igor's inner rage fuel?  Maybe.  I'm willing to take the chance; especially if he keeps up his steroids-only diet. 

Mike Wright

He's a typical guy the Packers would love to have.  He has all the heart of Aaron Kampman, without any of the talent or general ability.  He'd compete for the starting DE job, but would most likely be relegated to backup behind either Johnny Jolly or Justin Harrell.  He's got no skill, but, at age 27, if he works hard enough he has the potential to be the next Aaron Smith (respectable starting DE for he champion Steelers).  

Vonnie Holliday

Knows Brown County like the back of his hand, having been drafted by the Pack in 1998 (two spots ahead of Randy Moss...oops!).  He may be old, but has experience the Packers need playing the DE spot in a 3-4 defense.  He can be had for extremely cheap, but at that age is he really worth adding to the roster? 

Also, I must address the Jason Taylor situation.  I think the Packers would be wise to take a look at him.  He's old, but I think he can still be effective playing that 3-4 OLB for a season in Green Bay.  Take Raji at #9 and take a OLB at #41 to sit behind Taylor for a year.  Having Raji, Taylor, Kampman, Hawk and Jenkins all rushing the passer seems like quite the disruptive proposition.  I'd still be worried about Kampman and Taylor being coverage liabilities, but I'm sure Hitstick can cover at least 3 people at once.  

Lastly, I would like to express my sincere sorrow to the families of Marquis Cooper, Corey Smith and William Bleakley.  They've been in the water for over 48 hours - chances are they'll never be found.  Truly tragic ... now, how can I schedule Jarrett Bush and John Kuhn for a similar fishing trip? 

Why Is This News?

Here’s a brief summary of this article about the Dolphins cutting Vonnie Holliday:

-The Dolphins cut Vonnie Holliday.

-Vonnie Holliday thinks it’s a symptom of a lack of loyalty in the NFL. I interpret this to mean that teams put their interests before the interests of their players.

-He recognizes it’s part of the business, and has no hard feelings toward the Dolphins.


Here’s what I learned:

-The Dolphins cut Vonnie Holliday.


Why was this written? It’s not like Holliday threw a fit, or something. And it’s no shocker that teams are self-interested. I want espn to give me back the three minutes I spent reading this article.


(The 10 minutes I spent writing this post are my own damn fault).
