Now if we can only get Nick to stop with that silly-ass dance when he makes a tackle, then he might qualify as “Packer People”

Seriously, isn’t that what he is being paid to do? After all, my mail man doesn’t do a Lambeau Leap every time he puts my letters in the mail box.

I hadn’t heard Bill said that. I’m surprised Twitter didn’t explode. Bill’s wrong, and I really hope we keep Nick. I just love him. But I know he might be going…we’ll see what TT decides.

We could restructure Hawk’s contract and keep all 3

Oh, Barnett, how we miss you. Come back with your sweet fro and red monster truck.

Though I think, due to Bishop’s new contract, Hawk having a big contract, and the way the Packers‘ D has played lately, he might be on his way out.

Which would be a mistake. Barnett is still the best ILB we have.

I heard this too, and just about drove into a lightpole.

He is quickly becoming the biggest douche on the airwaves, with his constant badgering of callers and perpetual “I’m the Greatest” attitude.

He adds basically nothing to the show, as Wilde is the reason most, of not all, people listen. His comment about Barnett is so unfactually (not even sure if its a word, but what the hell) moronic it doesnt even warrant the time I wasted listening to it.

Bill, stop wasting our time.

I think its his duty to at least remain current. His statement on Barnett is severely outdated. That’s all. I don’t take him seriously anyway, he’s Bill Johnson.

Of course anything he says is grounds for debate, that’s the fun of it. But I just wouldn’t take it too serious.

Are you sure about that though Alex? Listen to what he does on a daily basis. He keeps the show moving, provides topic banter, and calls out the sponsors. He’s not a beat writer. Of course he follows the Packers and has his opinions but I don’t go to him for hard news and insight when I have Silverstine, McGinn, Wilde and Demovsky and Doughtery waiting in the wings.

His job is to know about the Packers, period. There is no argument against that.

He’s not there for his breakdown of X’s and O’s and insider prowess. He’s there to carry the show and make it move along and fill the voids. It’s his right to offer up his opinions on the team and what not but if people are taking his slants serious then they’re not seeing them for what they really are. I wouldn’t expect guys like that who are stuck in the studio 15 hours a day and calling basketball games on the side, to have the keenest insight into what’s going on with the team. He’s a radion personality, he’s not a beat writer like Jason.

Of course, by constantly harping on Johnson, everyone’s feeding the monster and giving him the attention he so desires…

Until Nick unblocks me on Twitter for a comment made almost two years ago, I can’t get behind him.

Yeah, I can’t say as I agreed with Bill’s take on Nick Barnett at all. Nick seems to enjoy bantering with fans more than any other player. His Tweets border on TMI at times (but he never fails to crack me up).

I definitely want to keep Barnett AND Hawk!

I’m with you on this, although the DD softball game is held in the off season, so you’ve technically contradicted yourself.
