Packers getting preferential treatment from local authorities/press?


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

It's a perk obviously from the local PD and their media. I feel no certain way about it though. Only time it's a problem, to me, is if the organization is in on some type of coverup or shield to keep the league from finding out.

Bigger question, though. Sam was on IR due to a concussion and was arrested due to a weed issue? LOL depending on the organization and player, this would've been a big deal.

Valid. If the Packers were involved, that'd be a pretty huge scandal.

Makes me wonder though. How often do you see stories about Patriots players getting in trouble?

(Aaron Hernandez aside, of course)

There was a really good article about Hernandez on SI's website I think that went all into his past. Anyway, during that article, they talk about how the police would call the team before they'd try to bring a guy in, or they warn players. The NE police are in the Pats' pocket. Or at least they were til Hernandez.

Now that's interesting.

I meant of the less-malicious sort.

Irrelevant comments do nothing to support an incorrect statement. Had you singled out Green Bay though...

Meant GB, but have also been to Madison and wasn't exactly blown away (I've only ever lived in Atlanta, Boston, and NYC, so I may be a bit spoiled -- especially by the latter two).

I'd look it up but I'm on my phone so it's kinda difficult. I might be combining two patriots articles.. there's one about Hernandez that goes pretty deep and one about that guy who is always with belichick and who masterminded spygate. I forget which one talks about it. Both were very good though.

If they just don't report it in the news that is their call.  If the authorities don't arrest that's a problem but in this case they are arrested and suspended.  I doubt the league gets their info from reading the local papers.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
