Super Bowl Deja Vu and Other Packers Matters

Before I get to the Packers the Super Bowl came and went with the Patriots winning. I thought the Falcons had a very good chance to win, but I saw a parallel to the Packers when the Falcons gave up a late score in the first half when the Falcons defense eased up as if The Dom was their Defensive Coordinator.

I was watching the game at The Cellar and when the Patriots kicked that field goal to make it 21-3 I made the announcement the game had turned and the Patriots were going to win.

This, That And The Other

This:

We now live in a Trump World of "Alternative Facts" and the NFL and Packers are caught in the middle of a good example.

On January 24, 2017 it was announced on Packers.com that Executive Vice President/General Manager & Director of Football Operations For Life Ted Thompson (I'm praying for the end of time) has signed 8 players to reserve/futures contract (all of which were on the practice squad at the end of the season).

However, on NFL.com (the official website of the NFL) on January 23, 2017 (it's funny or tragic how the NFL announcing something about the Packers before the Packers do) that the Packers had signed 8 players to reserve/futures contracts, but not the same eight players.

The official NFL.com transaction of Jan. 23 listed Reggie Gilbert, Antwan Goodley, Derrick Matthews, Lucas Patrick, Brian Price, Dez Stewart, Jermaine Whitehead and Jacob Flores being signed.

The official Packers.com transaction of Jan. 24 listed Reggie Gilbert, Antwan Goodley, Derrick Matthews, Lucas Patrick, Brian Price, Beau Sandland, Jermaine Whitehead and Jacob Flores being signed.

As you can see Dez Stewart is not on the list submitted by the Packers as being signed (he was released from the practice squad on December 2, 2016 when Joe Callahan was re-signed).
