Will be interesting how the rest of the draft goes for the Packers. Not overly excited about a back up QB but could be great in a couple years. But in good ole Packers fashion, we will end up trading him off as usual.

I kind-of believe the analysts on the pick - Rodgers needs weapons and there are an abundance of good WRs in this draft. They are going to get a rock-star WR in the second round, but their next QB maybe not. And I know it's heresy but Rodgers is nearing the end of his "top tier" life as a QB. He shouldn't be surprised, many years ago he was they guy GB drafted to replace Farve.

We will see how the rest of the draft picks play out, but it hurts to see them not adding a weapon in the first round to help Rodgers get another ring. I hope I am wrong but I think we are in looking for the future mode.

This was certainly predictable, but my question is...

Who's going to videotape all the opposing teams' Defensive signals so Tommy knows what is coming?

So what QB are the Pats going to draft in the 6th round to cover the next 20 years?

No wonder LSU won the BCS championship last year. 14 players taken. Wow. And we got two of them.

And the Pats got no QB. Guess they can win with just anyone back there. j/k, I bet there is a surprise in store out there.

With that system of cheating, any QB can win. Brady was proof of that.

Sad news about Shula....


On Dallas - is it just me or is Dak being an idiot? Per ESPN, he's being offered to be the richest NFL player in the league and he's holding out? He doesn't even deserve to be paid like he's the best player to start with. What's he done to warrant that kind of salary?

Earl Thomas in bed with 2 women and his brother

https://my.xfinity.com/articles/news...ns-Thomas-9c02

BALTIMORE (AP) — The lawyer for the wife of Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas said she is being subjected to an “unfounded ongoing investigation" by Texas police after she allegedly pointed a loaded gun at her husband's head upon finding him in bed with another woman last month.

According to a police affidavit, Nina Thomas tracked down her husband at a short-term rental home in Austin in the early morning hours of April 13 and found him and his brother, Seth, in bed with two women.

The affidavit says Nina Thomas admitted to pointing the pistol at Earl Thomas' head “with the intent to scare him." She had taken the magazine out of the gun and disengaged the safety, but police noted “she was unaware the gun had a round in the chamber."

Nina Thomas struck Earl Thomas repeatedly with her free hand before her husband eventually wrestled the 9 mm Beretta from her grasp, the affidavit said. At that point, he told the woman with whom he was romantically linked to call the police.

Nina Thomas was arrested on a felony charge of burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The incident was first reported by TMZ.

After getting word that the episode would soon be made public, Earl Thomas acknowledged late Wednesday in a video on his Instagram account that there was “an altercation between me and Nina."

“It's really not anybody's business. It's (ticking) me off that it got out, but it's the world we live in today," he said in the video, which has since been deleted. “Stuff like this happens. We try to live the best life we possibly can, but sometimes it doesn't go as planned."

Jonathan D. “Jay” Goins, the lawyer for Nina Thomas, said she “was wrongfully arrested."

"We have already gathered information which controverts every single allegation made on the night in question," Goins said.

Earl Thomas, who turned 31 on Thursday, earned his seventh Pro Bowl selection last season. He signed a four-year deal with the Ravens in April 2019 and was an integral part of a defense that helped Baltimore finish with an NFL-best 14-2 record in the regular season.

In a statement, the Ravens said: “We became aware of the situation when we read and saw it on the reports late last night and early this morning."

Nina Thomas told police she tracked her husband’s whereabouts to the rental home through his Snapchat account, which showed several videos of Earl with the other woman. Two women who Nina brought to confront her husband were also arrested on burglary charges: her sister and her best friend, the ex-spouse of Seth Thomas.

Upon their arrival at the home, police found Nina Thomas with a knife in her hand chasing her husband, who had the pistol, around a vehicle, according to the affidavit. The two were ordered to drop their weapons and drop to the ground, and they complied.

Police said the sister took a video of the altercation with her cellphone. The footage showed Nina Thomas pointing the gun at her husband's head from less than a foot away with her finger on the trigger and the safety disengaged, the affidavit said.

It states that Earl Thomas told police that he was “romantically involved" with the other woman for “3-4 months and that he was working on his relationship with his wife."

Earl Thomas was not arrested. Nina Thomas was released from custody after making bond.

“As her attorney, I am here to declare that my client unequivocally and categorically denies these allegations," Goins said. “We look forward to our day in court where we can clear her good name."

"...romantically involved with the other woman for 3-4 months and that he was working on his relationship with his wife." Because nothing heals a marriage like adultery.

I don't understand why people do that. Get divorced if you are at that stage.

Right? If I had a nickel for every time my brother and I were caught in bed with two women who were not our wives.....

But yeah, funny way to summarize that situation up.
