So DeShawn Wynn goes but Scorpio Babers stays? Football is a strange business.
The Packers made their first roster reductions today to get to the 75-man limit before tomorrow’s deadline without too many surprises. Oft-injured running back Wynn, a seventh-round pick in the draft a year ago, was among those getting the axe, much to the […]

Offensive tackle Chris Williams, Chicago’s first round pick this year, was damaged goods and the Bears knew it, so says the Sun-Times by way of ESPN’s Kevin Seifert.

Oh, that crafty Ted Thompson, always zigging when everyone else is zagging.
Defying all predictions and tea leaf readings, the Packers general manager selected defensive tackle Justin Harrell with the 16th pick of the NFL Draft. I’m not sure what to think of our draft day guru now. Harrell played for Tennessee and was well regarded […]
