Butler Has New JS Video Series/Bedard Strikes

We're introducing a new weekly video series today featuring former All-Pro Green Bay Packers safety LeRoy Butler. We think you'll like it, particularly if you're a hardcore fan who wants to learn more about the game and the Packers.

In one of the segments, Butler and Journal Sentinel beat writer Tom Silverstein will address various questions about the Packers in a video version of last year's "5 Questions with LeRoy Butler." Butler will provide the kind of insider insights that only a former player can provide. In a second segment - "X's and O's with LeRoy Butler" - he'll go to the whiteboard to diagram and explain a couple of plays, either from the previous game or that Green Bay might run or face in the upcoming game.


Pretty cool. I liked last year's "5 Questions".

A couple of comments have already taken shots at Butler prompting Bedard to quip:

For crying out loud, you guys bash anybody around here.

You don't want to watch or read, Irish77, then go away.


Awesome.

Not exactly a Mensa gathering in the comments area of JSO.

Frankly I'm surprised that they figured out how to operate a computer.

I absolutely love Bedard, he will always speak his mind and doesn't mind criticizing his readers when its called for instead of trying to kiss ass.

A Haudricourt disciple.

I like Bedard too. I've noticed other board absolutely despise him. They think he's got some kind of weird agenda against Thompson and McCarthy. Whatever...

MJS has not yet done their season preview and McGinn and Bedard predictions yet--have they?

I didn't like Bedard when he first came here from Miami. He was unprepared, didn't know much about the Packers and it showed. Now that he knows the team/players he's much better.

I appreciate his candidness, but very strongly disagree with him at times. I don't think he has an agenda against Thompson/McCarthy, but he can can be pretty smug about his opinion of what Thompson, in particular, does sometimes.

I think he sometimes takes a contrarian view just to stick out, since he's one of many covering the Pack for the JS.
