That's disappointing. The books have reached their conclusion, so I'd have liked to see them all adapted. That said, the tv show was paying less attention to the books as it went on, and not coincidentally dropping in quality. I had a feeling they'd get less interesting once Alfred was gone. He wasn't the main character, but he gave the story its soul. It'll be missed, but I'm glad we at least got five seasons out of it. Portrayed as a true philosopher king.

If you mean draft pick, yeah, it will be a boatload. Stafford cost the Rams two first and a third. Trey Lance cost the Niners three #1's and a 3rd. Granted, he's no spring chicken, but he is the reining MVP and he's played 15-16 games a season every year but two from 2008 to 2020. He's guaranteed to light up talk radio, to pus asses in seats and could be worth a Super Bowl to the right team (remember Peyton?). And he has $0 in guaranteed money on his contract. He won't come cheap.
If they ask too much, then retirement it is, he won't come back. He holds a deep grudge, unlike Wilson, who is more an easy going character, not as dark and gloomy as Rodgers can be. If he is even unforgiving towards his own family, what makes you think he will forgive the Packers? Again: it is not about money. Even little monkeys go full berserk if they feel betrayed. If he isn't traded, then he will retire. And in this case the Packers got how money picks? I guess Rodgers sleeps why better than Gutekunst or Jordan Love. If the latter is the starting QB and turns out to be a bust while also being the major and final reason to have lost the MVP...

Colts or Bears, this year, in June. The cap hit won't be that gruesome anymore, and they can at least salvage some draft picks out of this situation. Bears is a direct opponent, yes, but they Favre played for the Vikings, and the draft picks would weaken them in the future. The Bears have a team good enough to make it to the playoffs, even with a QB named Trubisky, but Rodgers would be an instant solution to this major issue, while Fields could watch and learn and get some snaps. Dalton and this other guy, you know, former Egales player iirc, not Wentz, can be traded. The Colts are the most complete NFL team without a proper QB. My very own opinion. Before Stafford it were the Rams. Watson has become too risky due to his legal issues, hence not comparable to Rodgers, and Wilson never said he will never ever again play for Seattle. He was/is not happy, but not disgruntled to a degree like Rodgers who was back-stapped over and over again by the Packers. Nine of the last ten first round picks were for the defense, and the only one, last season, which was for the offense was his replacement. Jordan Love's draft was the last straw on the camel's back. This is not about money or the career. Unlike Watson he is a future hall of famer with a ring, and he might have had a second one if the packers hadn't betrayed him and drafted an elite receiver. Watson has neither savings and side incomes of Rodgers, nor a ring, or a hall of fame career, but he is young and has his best years ahead of him. But by now the rape accusation are stalling him.

Before Stafford it were the Rams. Both the Bears and Colts upgraded their QB situation. Rodgers will probably cost three #1's. They won't mortgage their future for a 37 year old QB, not while they have other options. And the Rams don't have a first round pick until the 31st Century.
Like I said, I'm not buying it. Aaron and GB management will have a sit down, management will give Aaron a cookie or two and they'll iron everything out. Rodgers has said many times he wants to be a Green Bay icon. Becoming Brett Favre II won't do that. If it DOES go down, I'll will believe the scuttlebutt and say Denver or Las Vegas. Vegas could trade Carr, giving GB a bridge to Jordan Love. Denver has a better team, better targets for Aaron.
I doubt that he will cost that much due to his age, and the pressure they are facing. If they don't trade him and he retires, they have a huge dead cap, and not a single draft pick. www.acmepackingcompany.com/by-the-numbers/2020/5/5/21248007/calculating-the-packers-salary-cap-impacts-and-deadlines-in-aaron-rodgers-contract

The pick, on its surface, makes sense. It was the position of need, the guy they wanted, and they didn't have to trade up for him. They could've traded up to get Fields, who I wanted, but he could be a bust too, so who knows. I will say that I expect Mac Jones to suck. Name sounds like a truck driver, which is exactly what I expect him to be in 3 years. But let's be honest. Even if they got Fields, or if Jones is halfway decent, the team will go nowhere as long as Belichick is the head coach. He's been a failure with every QB other than Brady (who has now proven he can take anyone to a title overnight), I don't expect that to change anytime soon. Spot on. I also see it as further test if Belichick is really that great, if he created the system, and Brady was just the QB who was fit into it. Mac Jones is said to be that kind of pocket QB (with all the short comings)...but has the the capabilty of Brady to read defenses, to anticipate moves and routes, and has he this incredible situational awareness. I was once linked the Tifo clip "Raumdeuter" what also pretty much applies on Brady and explains why it is so hard to quantify Brady's true strengths. By now there are more youtubes clips which try to explain this idea. And of course there are huge differences, but it gives an idea why Brady is the Goat, why it is so hard to copy it, and why it also that hard to spot it or grasp it with statistics unlike speed, strength etc. pp. If Mac Jones works - and I hope so -, it would be cruel to wish a young player to fail just because you have issues with his coach - but if not...hang him higher - Belichick of course. And yes, this is just meant as a figure of speech. I don't want him dead, I just want him released from duty.

Poor Richard. Great that somebody besides BM wins this one. BM we’re actually eliminated by Kiel two or three rounds ago. Yeah, in an away game when Bayern had a mid-season crisis. Kiel is not that bad and has prospects to be promoted, but due to Corona they haven't had a game for weeks (they are whole three game days behind the rest of the league), and thus this game wasn't that fair. But life isn't fair. www.kicker.de/2-bundesliga/tabelleJust to give some context to this defeat.

Do they bust or will their franchise fail them => Burrows/Bengals.
Mac Jones. He is not a very versatile QB and I'm not sure if Belichick can create a working system around this kid. I guess no first round pick QB is this dependent on the system, the other players, and last but not least on his new coach.
But I'm still looking forward to the situation.
Overall one can't say the Pats didn't try.
PS: How can he learn that much from Newton, if he is a complete different type of QB.

It's too crowded. Some of these films are definitely getting pushed back. The Flash has started filming so it's looking to keep its November 2022 release, which means Aquaman 2 may get pushed back. Captain Marvel 2 should be pushed back to 2023. Also, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is scheduled for an undisclosed date in 2022, but it should be pushed back for 2023. Please don't whine about things being "over crowded" when 1) scheduling could change 2) even if scheduling isn't changed and cinema screens flooded with entertainment you're still not required to watch. This isn't child abuse. I guess it is more to prevent an over saturation of the market. People have only a limited amount of money and time and if too many movies want to participate their share of the cake will shrink, in consideration of the cost they might even turn into the red. Even a strong franchises like Star Wars is no longer save from busts. So they will try to adjust in order to milk the market the best they can. But: Aquaman 2022 - no. In my case this will rather make me watch less. I'm tired of waiting, and I'm more and more willing to go on and leave certain themes, franchises, TV shows etc. pp. for good. At a certain point the interest has vanished. I'm not a die hard fan in the first place. In other words: this strategy might not pay off, or even backfire.

As I understood it, it was agreed that he will be traded, and Greenbay broke word. Anyway: if he made clear from day one that he won't return, then it is Gutekunst's fault if he took this either not serious, or was convinced Rodger's would have a change of heart, or they never had a plan B. He just went public with his intentions, that doesn't mean the front office was never aware of it. TwitterIt just a tweet, but if true, then it is on Gutekunst and Co., and according to several reports, Gutekunst, LaFleaur and the president of the Packers each visited Rodgers in person. theathletic.com/news/packers-aaron-rodgers-trade-brian-gutekunst/wqgRSIMzRdveIf they are caught by surprise, then because they were ignorant.
