Lions should've let Austin go to the Packers and then gashed the Packers over the middle every play for the next five years.

But we already fired Dom, how did we accidentally rehire him :confused:

Packers offense was pretty good under Philbin so I guess that's an OK move.

Gutekunst with final say on GM decisions and Ball to handle the finances and office personnel is close to ideal.

Curious if Wolf sticks around or gets hired elsewhere. I wonder how much Wolf's youth played into the equation. He has a lot of experience but is only 35...

xpost from N/V:

Blake Martinez is pussyfucker69

quote:

Blake Martinez of the Green Bay Packers not only tied for leading the NFL in tackles this season, but also finds some time to play Dota 2 on the side. Though he currently plays under “Packernation50,” Martinez told the story of his induction to the cult of Dota at yesterday’s Captains Draft 4.0 tournament—including his first screenname.

A buddy of the linebacker’s made an account for him, but there was one little problem: The account’s name was “pussyfucker69.”

“Literally for six months I didn’t know I could change it,” said Martinez. “So I had people at Stanford that were like, ‘I heard you were playing Dota, what’s your username?’ For six months I was like, ‘I don’t know, I don’t know my username, you should just give me yours.’”

A quick check of his DotaBuff history shows that, indeed, he once was Blake “pussyfucker69" Martinez. And he also has a 70.69 percent win-rate as Luna, drat!

Martinez also decided to change it back for an ability draft showmatch at the event today, where his team won.

Yeah, that's not how that works. Your DOTA2 account is linked to your Steam account. I don't think your friends can create a Steam account for you.

I'm glad that Ball (1) isn't the GM but (2) is still going to be around for cap handling, but drat, I wanted it to be Wolf. I have no reason to want that over this outcome except ~~~The Wolf Legacy~~~ and ~~~Boy Genius GM~~~ narratives, I guess.

It really sucks that we lost Highsmith; I hope Wolf stays.

I was rooting for Wolf to get the job because ~narratives~ as well and I think he'll bolt for the next GM opening elsewhere but I think Gutekunst is a smart hire and I hope cap guru Ball sticks around

Apparently Gute was McCarthy's preference for the GM job

Would be so happy if we can retain Wolf too. If that can happen then I'm feeling very positive about this team's future. I was wavering a little bit over the last few days when it looked like we'd promote Ball and lose both our top scouts, but if we can keep everyone? And get a new DC, and get a bunch of fresh blood into positions of authority? It'd be everything I'd been asking for from the Packers over the last five years.
