That practice has worked well here


In response to the question from Michael from Portage, I was at the UFL game in St. Louis over the weekend. I would agree that the fans love it, and the energy was crazy, but the attendance numbers seem to be a little inflated by the media. I have been to games at Lambeau, in Pittsburgh and at the dome when the Rams were still in STL. Granted each NFL game I’ve been to has involved the Packers (which may inflate it), but the attendance Sunday was nowhere that of any NFL game I have been to.

Fair enough, but you also don’t need statistics or Excel spreadsheets to understand that St. Louis is the best-drawing team in the UFL. I’m personally against any further NFL expansion for the same reason in my previous answer. I feel for the good fans of St. Louis, though.

Appreciate you checking it out.

How many Wisconsin Badgers have played for the Packers over the years?

There have been 45 Badgers who have played in regular-season games for Green Bay.

This offseason, a lot of players were traded for what seemed to be low returns. Do you think compensatory draft picks have affected the market and teams are just letting players go, thinking they will get equal or better compensation anyway?

No, I think it’s more of what Brian Gutekunst has said in the past – GMs don’t like parting with draft picks. I think that’s why we’ve seen an increase, too, in teams doing pick swaps instead of the traditional “a pick for a player” deals.

I’ve been reading but haven’t asked anything in months. I’m excited as anyone with Coach Hafley and didn’t…
