I have no idea what to think about the whole Bishop thing. He's making less than $4 mill this year I believe and we don't exactly have a lot of depth at ILB. Not sure what I think about this...couldn't we have at least thrown him out there in preseason to see if he could regain some explosiveness?
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little trying to picture Brad Jones being a 3 down linebacker. Sam Barrington better play out of this world***Canadian Crew***

Tom Oates: New attitude a good sign for Packers
http://host.madison.com/sports/footb...1fa6b3aec.html
“This team has a different edge to it,” McCarthy said Tuesday. “It has a higher sense of urgency than I can recall.”
Love this article. It really hits the nail on the head and perfectly highlights the problem. Green Bay won the SB and unlike many championship teams, didn't decline from players moving around or retiring. Then the complacency of being the best killed us. Hopefully being the favorite to win and getting humiliated in the playoffs two years in a row will keep this attitude going.Never criticize someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes. That way, when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

looks like Brett Favre is trying to mend some fences:

here is an article i read.
To start with, Favre's recounting of the events that ultimately led to his departure is surprisingly balanced. Favre both acknowledges what he and the team thought at the time, and even admits the Packers made the right call by siding with Aaron Rodgers. For most people, it's incredibly difficult to admit, say, that the company they work for was right to promote someone else instead them. Favre is an undisputed future NFL Hall of Famer and one of the greatest to ever lace up cleats. Publicly stating that his former team was right to pick another player over him is a tremendous concession. Not only should this mean a lot to Rodgers, but fans on the fence about Favre should also lower their defenses. This is as contrite and conciliatory as someone in Favre's position could possibly be.
Speaking of Rodgers, Favre's analysis that barring injury "he'll shatter everything I ever did there except for maybe consecutive games" seems a bit hyperbolic. That said, it's a nice gesture by Favre. While he won't admit to it, being hung out to dry by Favremageddon stung Rodgers considerably. Favre stating publicly that Rodgers will break all of his records is another step in putting the past behind them.
Lastly, it's safe to say last week's expression of regret wasn't a fluke. Favre genuinely seems like he wants to extend the olive branch and embrace the Green Bay Packers once again. Favre was always going to come back, but many of us wondered how soon that would be. While still on the early side, 2013 could indeed be the year Packer fans see the retirement ceremony for #4.
The final obstacle in finalizing this reunion appears to be the minority of fans who haven't gotten over watching Favre put on the purple jersey. Mike Vandermause of the Green Bay Press-Gazette conducted a poll asking fans when they want to see Favre's number retired. The results demonstrate that while the most will welcome back the 3-time MVP, those who oppose his return are still fairly numerous:----------------------------------------------
