[...] (yes, the Redskins fired a cheerleader in the name of the economic downturn) are making much. The Packers shed $6.1 million dollars of operating costs without firing one person. I have a hard time imagining that those 20 employees were collectively [...]

I find it laughable that some people that say this needs to be his year to produce. Go back in the last 10 drafts and show me what 1st and 2nd round DE draft picks have had an impact in their rookie seasons (cue crickets). Rookies contributions are rare and second year contributions are possible. Players typically don’t come into their own until year three. People have no sense of history when you make dumb statements like “this year he has to show us something.”. Nuts…

First off, I have no connection or loyalty or anything like that to Florio or PFT.

I truly can’t fathom how any NFL junkie doesn’t check PFT at least five times a day, let alone never visit it. Not only does Florio have any and every somewhat relevant NFL story on his site, but they are usually there well before said stories can be found anywhere else. His knowledge and reasoning is very thoughtful and I personally really enjoy is sarcasm, wit, and Seinfeld references.

As far as the “Bradshaw is Dead” posts and things like that, so what?? Its called “The Rumor Mill” for a reason. An NFL junkie like myself gobbles up any story (at face value) with pleasure.

As far as the NBC thing, so what?? Florio has obviously put zillions of hours into his site for the better part of a decade and EARNED a huge following. How can you blame the guy for finally cashing in on his success?!?!

Florio obviously likes himself a great deal. Unfortunately, anyone who blindly throws a thousand darts is bound to hit the target a few times.
Now when you go to PFT every other post is about his merger with NBC or the greatness of Sprint. With all the ads on the left & right columns of PFT, why do the ‘Florio Posts’ have to echo those same marketing efforts. Thank God for my scrolling mouse.

Not only are the Packers not laying anyone off, they’re actually hiring new people! This includes new defensive coordinator Dom Capers and his twelve-strong team of hair wranglers.
