Green Bay Packers 2021 Rollercoaster

 I know it has been way too long since I have posted a new post.

Life. Busy. Brain cramps and/or farts.

Anyways, there has been enough news over the "off" season for my favorite team: The Green Bay Packers.

Reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers was being cryptic about his relationship going forward. Word started leaking out on Day 1 of the NFL Draft and some rumors of him being traded to either the San Francisco 49ers or the Denver Broncos proved to be false. Woody Paige in Denver still won't shut up about the possibility. You would think that Drew Lock or Teddy Bridgewater would have a problem with that. Late last night (July 26th), Rodgers arrived at Austin Straubel on a private jet. He arrived at Lambeau Field this morning so that's a big relief.

Davante Adams, who will be an unrestricted free agent after 2021, broke off contract talks with the Packers last week. Adams and Rodgers are tied at the hip. Time will tell if the Packers can extend Adams's contract after the ink dries on Rodgers's renegotiated deal.

Some rumors started firing up about former Packers WR Randall Cobb possibly getting traded from the Houston Texans back to the Packers. I'm thinking this would have to involve a third team to be realistic. My reasoning is the Texans really need to move QB Deshaun Watson also.

That's it for now. GO PACK GO!

Long time, no talk!

I know it's been almost two years since I last posted a blog post and for that, I am sorry. Combination of being busy with work and the hospital, and just not being able to think of anything important are my excuses. I will be back with some NFL free agent moves, as well as a more detailed post on just what I have been doing since July 2011. Talk to you soon...

NFL lockout over; undrafted Badgers find new homes

The National Football League (NFL) lockout is over and teams are free to sign rookie free agents. Some of the notables are QB Scott Tolzien signing with the San Diego Chargers and RB John Clay signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. There is a flurry of transaction activity, so I give you this link on rookie FA transactions: NFL.com website

There is also activity on veteran FAs and trades. Transactions won't be official until this Friday at 6PM EDT.

Is anyone even reading the BDS Baseball Power Rankings?

I'm wondering if anyone is even reading or looking at the BDS Baseball Power Rankings that I have been publishing here once a week for the past month. I have received no feedback whatsoever from any of the sources that I have set up. If people are looking and not responding, please let me know. It takes an average of two hours a day to compile the data needed to rank all 30 MLB teams. If I don't have a reason to continue it, I won't.
