Berry Gets Fined - Schneider to Seattle
From JSOnline.com, while there was no flag on DE Bertrand Berry for his helmet-to-helmet hit of QB Aaron Rodgers on the 2nd to last play of the game, he did earn a $5,000 fine. But there was no fine for CB Michael Adams for grabbing Rodgers's facemask, as the NFL continues to sweep that one under the rug. For what it's worth, Mike McCarthy said he was more concerned about the helmet-to-helmet shot.
From the Press-Gazette, the Packers' director of football operations, John Schneider, is in the running to become the next GM in Seattle. He's probably a long shot behind former Titans' GM Floyd Reese, who's a long-time coach and GM, mostly as a member of the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans. Reese has spent the past couple years working for ESPN and most recently the Patriots. While I'm sure Schneider is important to the Packers' front office, I usually hear Reggie McKenzie's (both Schneider and McKenzie have the same title) name come up when evaluating players. Schneider seems to be more of a cap manager than a scouting coordinator. That might actually make him a better fit since I'm sure Pete Carroll will be the man in charge for the Seahawks.

I didn’t think Adams would get fined. It didn’t look like a blatent grab and pull to the ground. It was there but it wasn’t a fine-able facemask in my book. It happens…it happened…its done.
I agree. No need to fine the facemask.
Although didn’t some Packers get fined for facemasks earlier in the year? I thought Barnett was fined, but not entirely sure. I don’t understand fining facemasks since most are accidental or at least without intent. A malicious or intentional one should be fined.
Looking to buy: General Manager Deputy Badge

I agree too but...
5 G’s is nothing I doubt he will even think twice about it. If it was Favre, Manning or Warner I think the fine would have doubled or trippled at least.
trebled for Brady
Brady’s gotta be the most pampered of all of them.

What are you guys doing?
I cant believe that it has quieted down so much. As a mn fan I’m stunned that there wasnt rioting in sconni after the horrible officiating ended your season. It should be gb we’re playing next sunday.
