Cupp and Ross Bryant join us for an informative episode about the nature and specifics of roleplaying and podcasts. The pair dives into their experiences with role-playing games. The two of them are seasoned role-players and understand more than most what the impact of throwing a microphone in front of your face has on the way you approach sessions. The highlights of this episode focus on how GMs can make the experience more visual and cinematic, and on the power of improvisation and fluidly moving through the session with your players. We discuss horror as a genre, so if you're into getting spooked during the session, it's good listen.

Big Sal from Peshtigo is at the kitchen table, and he has had ENOUGH. Brian Gutekunst traded away first-round picks of his own free will — nobody held a gun to his head — and now the man wants patience while Pack Nation sits here staring at a draft board that looks like the leftovers at a church potluck. Cold. Dry. Nothing anybody actually wanted. Sal breaks down exactly why Gute gets zero curve — when you voluntarily remove yourself from the top of the board, every remaining pick has to work twice as hard, hit faster, and contribute in year ONE The Gary Pletcher snow removal analogy that perfectly captures what happens when you sell your best equipment and then the storm hits Credit where it's due: Jordan Love, the offensive line rebuild, some solid contracts — but good GMs are good EVERY year, not every other year The urgency is real — Love's cheap contract window is open RIGHT NOW, and thin rosters and third-year projects are exactly what slam it shut No more outs.

In this episode of Leadership on the Links, Tyler Bloom is joined by team members Meredith Otero and Mary Maloney for a candid, behind-the-scenes debrief of their first-ever attendance at the CMAA World Conference & Club Business Expo. From the trade show floor to a standing-room-only presentation on championship culture, the Bloom Golf Partners team unpacks the energy, connections, and key lessons from one of the most intimate and impactful industry conferences in the golf and private club world. If you work in club management, agronomy, or any department striving to bridge the gap between leadership and operations, this episode is a must-listen. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The CMAA conference stands out for its intimate, personalized feel — a stark contrast to the PGA Show and GCSAA, with a stronger focus on software, products, and leadership education. Why cross-departmental attendance at industry trade shows builds visibility, credibility, and stronger club relationships — superintendents at CMAA, GMs at GCSAA. The Bloom Golf Partners team presented on Building a Championship Culture to a standing-room-only crowd of general managers and club decision-makers. Common challenges in club culture: retaining long-tenured employees resistant to change, siloed agronomy departments, and the universal struggle of filling equipment manager roles. Why should superintendents see themselves as strategic partners — not just operational leads — and how showing up at cross-industry events elevates the entire profession. The power of spending unstructured time with your own team at conferences strips away layers and builds real relationships that translate back to the workplace. Professional photography and visual identity are low-hanging fruit for both individuals and clubs — a shoutout to Karlo for elevating the Bloom Golf Partners brand. Early planning matters: the team is already preparing presentation proposals for the next conference season before this one is fully wrapped. Notable Moments & Takeaways: Shoutout to Bobby Davis, now General Manager at Oakmont Country Club and former assistant superintendent — a testament to the career paths available across the industry. The CMAA "Idea Fair" showcased best practices from clubs in areas like member engagement, recruiting, and programming — a concept the team would love to see replicated at GCSAA. "The equipment manager is the hardest position to fill in the industry" a line that drew zero pushback from an entire room of club managers. The talent pipeline challenge is real: universities, career services on the trade show floor, and new services supporting career changers are all part of the solution. A key insight from the culture presentation: employees often want ownership and recognition — not just paycheck. Listening without an agenda goes a long way.

Most NFL trades hit a snag and suddenly everyone's story turns into a Netflix drama. Imagine waiting for a record-breaking Max Crosby deal—only for it to get derailed by a knee-jerk physical fail. Yep, the ripple effects of a failed physical can turn a blockbuster into a “bye-bye, all done” in seconds. If you've ever wondered how a physical can nix a trade and throw cap space, contracts, and futures into chaos, this episode is your front-row seat. We unpack the wild rollercoaster of NFL off-season moves—trades that almost happened, deals that shocked, and players who got paid way more than they probably should've. Get the inside scoop on the Raiders' gamble with Crosby, the surprising signings like Alec Pierce's jaw-dropping $114 million, and why GMs are racing against the clock trying to build dynasty-level teams with a short leash. Plus, we peek into the seismic shifts in UFC's fight card lineup—who's in, who's out, and why top stars like Islam Makhachev might just be "ducking" instead of duking it out. It's a wild mix of elite fighters, shady injuries, and Dana White's busy fingers trying to control the chaos while everyone else just wants to see their favorite fighters throw down. Why does the NFL's free agency frenzy feel like a game of chess played by kids? Because the patience for building a powerhouse team is shorter than a Snapchat story. Know why the Jets keep cycling through quarterbacks? Spoiler: it's all about that “win now” mindset, but the clock's ticking loud. Oh, and sports fans—if you think the World Baseball Classic is just a prelude to spring training, think again. Latin America's got a squad that hits bombs so big even home runs feel like fireworks. Meanwhile, the NBA's Wemby is out here throwing down dunks that make defenders look like they're in slow motion.Long story short: if you want the spicy, behind-the-curtains NFL gossip, UFC fight drama, and epic MLB home runs—this episode delivers all that with a side of sarcasm, wit, and a big smile. So hit play; the chaos is just getting started. Perfect for: NFL junkies, UFC superfans, sports gamblers, and anyone who loves chaos in short, punchy bites.

Today I discuss Daggerheart's GM Principles, which are begin and end with the fiction (story); collaborate at all times, especially during conflict; fill the world with life, wonder, and danger; ask questions and incorporate the answers; make every roll important; play to find out what happens; and hold on gently. I talk quite a bit about why you don't want to call for too many rolls, and how to know when to call for a roll versus when not to. I specifically discuss the two main areas where some GMs call for way too many rolls: actions involving perception and knowledge. I also go into preparing for an adventure or game session by creating an inciting event to kick things off, and not planning too much beyond that point. I also share how I prepare to improvise. Finally, I talk a bit about advancing and modifying my setting of Primordia. I originally designed the setting for D&D, so I wanted to make some changes to better fit Daggerheart and allow the players more design space to collaborate with the world building.Play Daggerheart with Me on Start Playing Games.Sign up for my newsletter.Subscribe via RSS, Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.Check out my sci-fi novel, Critical Balance.Have you read Critical Balance?

What if the biggest crisis in construction isn't AI adoption, it's that we hand over $100M assets with no instruction manual?In this episode of KP Unpacked, KP Reddy sits down with David Niewiadomski, former Turner Construction executive turned Shadow Ventures operator, to answer a haunting question: if your building could talk, what would it say? The answer isn't pretty. "You don't do scheduled maintenance. You didn't check the caulk joints before the warranty expired. You take me for granted." Dave spent 17 years in the contractor trenches, pre-con, estimating, project management, and walked away to solve the data handoff problem that makes every asset transfer feel like buying a car with no owner's manual.The conversation weaves between tactical AI workflows (how to automate bid leveling in two weeks, why Claude told KP he was "out of his depth" and should call Barry) and systemic industry failures. Why do cars come with organized manuals regardless of manufacturer, but $100M buildings get handed over with incomplete data scattered across expired Procore servers? Why don't architects visit existing hospitals before designing new ones? Why do facilities teams get involved after walls are already placed? And why, when KP's uncle kept every oil change receipt in a three-ring binder to maximize car resale value, don't we track building maintenance the same way?Key topics covered:Why IT departments are the #1 barrier to AI adoption, not capability, cost, or interest, just permissionsHow Dave would automate bid leveling in two weeks using Claude Cowork if corporate let him tinkerWhy pre-con departments are perfect AI targets: small teams, high expertise, Excel-heavy workflowsThe moment Claude told KP to escalate to Barry because he was out of his depth—and what that means for mentoring juniorsIf your building could talk: "40% of my caulk joints are cracking and my exterior warranty just expired"Why cars have consistent owner's manuals but $100M buildings don't, the automotive vs. construction data gapHow organized building data determines which deals asset managers skip during due diligenceThe CapEx vs. OpEx disconnect: design teams optimize construction cost, ignore 20-year maintenance nightmaresWhy facilities teams review drawings after decisions are locked and walls are already placedThe hospital prototype problem: architects don't visit 50 existing hospitals to learn what breaks and what costs too muchWhy grocery store GMs kept selling corporate-spec'd deli coolers on eBay, and corporate couldn't update specs fast enoughHow technology creates deflation everywhere (Blockbuster to Netflix, $20 CDs to Spotify), except constructionWhy RFIs and change orders eat 10-20% of contract value, and AI's first impact will be waste reduction, not bid pricesWhether contractors will pass 30-40% AI cost savings to owners (answer: no, they'll pocket it until competition forces pricing down)Why mid-sized GCs will adopt AI faster than Turner, fewer people, less federal red tape, more agilityThe union robotics challenge: layout robots worked in NYC, but full automation requires labor negotiationWhy institutional knowledge walks out the door with employee turnover, and Procore data disappears when subscriptions endThe three-ring binder standard: why we track car maintenance for resale value but not $100M building systemsIf you're an owner frustrated by incomplete building handoffs, a contractor wondering where AI automation starts, or a facilities manager tired of inheriting broken systems with zero documentation, this episode will make you realize the problem isn't innovation, it's that we never solved basic organization.Listen now.BuildingWorks & Brookwood Sponsors

Dave Dameshek opens the show by answering the question: which QB draft class is the best in the history of people. Then Carmen Vitali and JD Bunkis join the show to talk about all the latest moves of the 2026 NFL trade. They get past the headlines and into why these teams make the decisions they do. They look at how GMs construct teams and why roster construction is a science, but an inexact science. Dave then uses a fact about Patriot fans (how they lament more than any other football fans and will whine about Drake Maye's injury for the rest of time) as a way chat about the gold medal hockey game. Would Canada have won if they put Sidney Crosby on the ice? The answer touches on the racial makeup of Canada and why French Canadians aren't pulling their weight in the goal. Yes, we go there. And then we wind our way back to NFL trades. It's Football America time! (NOTE: Recorded on Thursday at 1pm ET.) AUDIO Football America! is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this episode, Sloan Dean returns to the show after completing MIT's AI Strategy and Leadership program to share how he's applying AI in his work daily. The conversation covers two practical use cases for hotel GMs: using Claude as an executive assistant for email and communication, and as a financial analyst for P&L benchmarking and cost analysis. Sloan also walks through the power and limitations of "vibe coding" and why the hotel leaders who lean into AI now will be the ones leading in the future. If you want to know where AI delivers real value today and where it still falls short, this is one you won't want to miss.Resources:Watch this conversation (and bonus content) on YouTubeNot Done podcastClaude CodeManus AIGamma A few more resources: If you're new to Hospitality Daily, start here.

Today I'm joined by David Wyler, CEO of Jeff Wyler Automotive Family. We dig into why Wyler abandoned traditional corporate management in favor of a “coach” model, how a strict 100-mile acquisition rule protects execution, and why culture—not capital—is the only defensible edge left in consolidation. David also unpacks his massive acquisition of the Midwest Auto Group, the lessons of stagnation during COVID, and what it really takes to scale a family business without losing its soul.

Complexity is a double-edged sword, oftentimes more complex systems, like politics and law, make a TTRPG game feel more real and immersive... but at the same time, too complex systems make the game feel dragging and overbearing...

On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust) and Mike Kravchenko (Watch on YouTube) are back for a catch-up week packed with stories spanning baseball, college football, the NBA, UFC, and the Olympics.The episode opens with the bombshell resignation of Tony Clark as executive director of the MLBPA following allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a family member he hired at the union. Dan and Mike break down why the personal scandal may only be the tip of the iceberg, drawing parallels to the NFLPA's Lloyd Howell situation and raising questions about self-dealing, misuse of union funds, and what Bruce Meyer's interim appointment means heading into a critical CBA negotiation year.From there, the duo covers the quiet settlement of the Jaden Rashada NIL lawsuit — one of the most closely watched cases in college sports law — and what the undisclosed resolution tells us about leverage, discovery, and the war of attrition in NIL litigation. They then pivot to the University of Cincinnati's lawsuit against transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby over a $1 million buyout clause, and what it signals for the future of revenue-sharing contracts and the transfer portal.Dan and Mike also tackle the NBA's escalating tanking crisis, including Adam Silver's record fines, the crisis summit with all 30 GMs, and what a potential draft overhaul could look like. The conversation then shifts to the UFC, Dana White's First Amendment stance, Sean Strickland's mic cut at the post-fight presser, and the tension brewing between the UFC's culture and its new Paramount partnership.The episode closes with Dan's passionate recommendation of the Jim Thorpe documentary Lit by Lightning — which he calls the greatest sports documentary he's ever seen — plus a shoutout to the Steph Curry film The Goat, and a listener challenge: first 10 people to watch either and send proof win a Conduct Detrimental shirt.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

The phone lines open up and Jets fans bring the heat: should the Jets go quarterback hunting at the Combine, and do they need to copy the Giants model to finally solve this nightmare? One caller throws the ultimate curveball, if you could re-draft Tony Romo, is he a first-round pick, and would “Romo-level” competence be enough for this franchise? From there, the debate turns into a full-on Jets identity crisis: swing for upside with Ty Simpson at 16, wait for a later option like Garrett Nussmeier, or punt the whole QB plan to next year's “loaded” class. The big tension is obvious. Fans can wait. Coaches and GMs usually cannot. Aaron Glenn and Darren McGee are on a different clock, and the show digs into whether drafting a quarterback is about building the future or protecting jobs. Plus: Zach Wilson PTSD, why the Combine can fool you, why draft slot changes everything for QBs, and whether a veteran bridge like Kirk Cousins or a wild-card free agent like Malik Willis can keep the season from feeling dead on arrival.
The Combine is here and the rumors are flying. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the flood of news pouring out of Indianapolis as scouts, GMs, and media collide for the first time this offseason. From Kirk Cousins getting his walking papers in Atlanta to the stunning freefall of quarterbacks across draft boards, there's a lot to unpack. The bizarre quarterback class where former projected first-rounders like Chet Club Nick, Carson Beck, and Drew Allar are plummeting into Day 3 territory, and why that's actually great news for some teams Jordan Tyson skipping Combine workouts and why the outrage is completely overblown Fernando Mendoza's quiet rise as a "special prospect" that nobody seems to want to talk about — and the Cam Ward comparison nobody wants to hear Deep dives into the Raiders, Dolphins, and Jets as the NFL's most desperate rebuilds collide with a thin quarterback market Free agency rumblings including Trey Hendrickson, Jalen Waddle trade talk, Malik Willis to Miami or Arizona, and receivers Alec Pierce and George Pickens commanding $27M annually Whether you're building your mock draft or just trying to keep up with the Combine chaos, this one's packed wall to wall. #NFLDraft #NFLCombine #DraftRoom #GreenBayPackers #PackernetPodcast This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Marc and John go live from Indianapolis with an extended Nick Caserio sit-down and Andrew Siciliano interview on Combine Day 1. CJ Stroud, free agency and more. Marc Vandermeer and John Harris open Combine Week live from Radio Row in Indianapolis with two marquee interviews. First, an extended sit-down with Texans GM Nick Caserio that goes well beyond his earlier podium session — covering everything from the vest-vs-hoodie debate to his free agency preparation process, his mentorship philosophy with coveted staffers like James Lipford and Dino Vasso, and the non-negotiable traits for a Houston Texan ("If you're a defensive player especially, physicality and violence are non-negotiable"). Caserio reaffirms his confidence in C.J. Stroud, reveals the team improved dramatically at quarterback from 2024 to 2025 across nearly every statistical category, details how his pro scouting department — DJ, Steve Cargile, Nate Lipford, and Chris Blanco — has already built the free agent board by position, and explains the rapid-fire reality of legal tampering where "players are going to come off the board" the instant the window opens. In a lighter moment, Caserio reveals he'd choose the gauntlet drill if GMs had to compete at the Combine, and admits his Indianapolis dinner was Panera soup and salad. The second guest is Andrew Siciliano, voice of the Cleveland Browns and the original NFL Network Red Zone host, who provides an entertaining AFC North breakdown. Siciliano shares the challenge of calling Myles Garrett's record-breaking sack in real time, reveals the Browns may go tackle-tackle with picks 6 and 24 to rebuild an offensive line where nearly every starter is a free agent, and discusses the Shedeur Sanders quarterback situation. He and the hosts debate training camp length, the inevitability of 18-game seasons with a 9:30 AM Eastern kickoff window for international games, and the UFL's new four-point rule for 60-plus yard field goals. The show closes with John's Combine workout predictions — Dylan Thedeman (Oregon safety) testing through the roof, Brandon Thompson (Mississippi State WR) as a speed demon, Jeremiah Love solidifying his top-8 status, and Arvell Reese (Ohio State LB) showcasing his freakish athleticism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prep is an essential part of the TTRPG hobby, at least for one side of the GM Screen. DMs need to prepare for their sessions and some DMs prepare a lot of stuff while others just wing it. We talked about that before, however we didn't talk about one thing, the way prep can lead to GMs railroading their players and controlling the game...Can that actually happen? How does it happen? What do we have to say about that? All of that and more is covered in this episode of DoubleDM.Check here for all further information:You can find us on the Web under these Links: https://www.doubledm.com/ https://bsky.app/profile/doubledm.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/doubledmpod/?hl=de https://ko-fi.com/doubledmIf you want to reach out to us via E-Mail use: doubledmpod@gmail.comOur Midroll Music is "Midnight Tale" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Our Outro Music is "Ascending the Vale" Kevin MacLeod (imcompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Hosted on Acast.

The first five minutes of a service visit can make or break everything that follows. In this episode of Dealer Talk with Jen Suzuki, Jen dives into one of the most overlooked yet powerful moments in fixed ops: the service check-in. This isn't about speed. It's not about numbers. It's not even about selling. It's about trust. Jen calls the check-in one of the two sacred moments in every service visit and if you miss it, nothing else matters. From reviving the dying walkaround to turning rushed transactions into relationship opportunities, she shares real-world principles advisors and managers can immediately apply to boost MPI approvals, retention, and long-term revenue. You'll learn how to: • Turn the walkaround into "walk-in education" • Build trust before the inspection ever begins • Use simple human connection to reduce defensiveness later • Create operational impact by improving the first five minutes • Coach presence, tone, and professionalism — not just process When customers feel educated early, they're less defensive later. And when they trust you? They buy. They return. They ask for you. This episode is a must-listen for Service Advisors, Service Managers, Fixed Ops Directors, and GMs who want to boost service revenue without pushing harder, just caring smarter.

Every tabletop party eventually meets the same terrifying monster: Not a dragon. Not a lich. Not even a gelatinous cube. No — it's the moment the GM says: "Okay… what do you say to the Duke?" Suddenly the barbarian who decapitated three ogres can't order soup, the bard becomes a hostage negotiator, and someone is Googling "how to Persuasion check in real life." This episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast dives headfirst into the chaotic intersection of roleplay, mechanics, and social awkwardness — breaking down how social skills in TTRPGs, navigating complex social encounters, and roleplaying character interactions can turn conversations into some of the most memorable moments at the table. Show Notes In this episode, the RPGBOT crew explores the nuanced world of social skills in tabletop roleplaying games, unpacking how conversation, persuasion, deception, and negotiation function as core gameplay pillars alongside combat and exploration. The discussion centers on the challenge of translating real-world communication into structured mechanics — and how systems like D&D social interaction checks, Pathfinder diplomacy mechanics, and broader TTRPG roleplay frameworks attempt to balance player performance with character capability. The hosts examine how navigating complex social interactions in TTRPGs often requires collaboration between players and Game Masters. They discuss the importance of establishing expectations around roleplay depth, whether tables prioritize immersive acting or streamlined dice-driven resolution. Through examples ranging from tense political intrigue to comedic tavern banter, the episode highlights how roleplaying character personality traits, leveraging skill proficiencies, and creative problem-solving in narrative encounters can shape outcomes without drawing a weapon. Attention is also given to GM facilitation strategies, including setting clear stakes for social encounters, rewarding clever dialogue, and avoiding binary success/failure outcomes. The conversation underscores how layered NPC motivations, faction dynamics, and evolving story consequences elevate social encounter design for Game Masters beyond simple skill checks into meaningful storytelling tools. Ultimately, the episode frames social play as a vital storytelling engine — encouraging players to embrace vulnerability, experimentation, and collaborative narrative building. Whether negotiating peace treaties, bluffing through palace intrigue, or convincing a dragon not to eat you, mastering tabletop roleplaying social mechanics expands the emotional and strategic scope of any campaign. Key Takeaways Social encounters are a core gameplay pillar alongside combat and exploration in modern TTRPG design Balancing player roleplay ability vs character skill stats is essential for fairness and immersion Clear expectations at Session Zero help define roleplay depth and mechanical reliance Dice rolls should support narrative outcomes — not replace meaningful interaction GMs can improve engagement by defining stakes, motivations, and consequences for NPCs Layered social encounters encourage creative problem-solving beyond combat solutions Rewarding clever dialogue and character-driven choices strengthens table investment Failure in social situations should create story complications, not dead ends Strong social play enhances campaign tone, character development, and group collaboration Mastering TTRPG communication and persuasion mechanics leads to richer storytelling moments Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Mike Schopp and Bulldog question if GMs use analyst mock drafts to get a feel of where some guys will be going or to who and if the scouts talk to each other or do they keep everything to their own team?

Travis Burns is Executive Vice President of Business Development at Remington Hospitality, where he's helping scale the company's third-party management platform. A former aerospace professional turned hotelier, he walked into the Hyatt Regency Tulsa Downtown asking for any job, and built a career spanning sales, operations, and investment strategy. In this episode, he unpacks profit over prestige, luxury's lift, and gut-driven growth. • Why GOPPAR matters more than RevPAR • How to win the GOP war—even if you lose the STR report battle • What your business mix really costs you (and why it matters) • How to know when saying yes is a trap • The intuition advantage in a world drowning in data • Why being first isn't always best in hotel innovation • The real driver behind luxury's post-COVID surge • Why great luxury GMs still have to obsess over labor and cost control • Why new capital—not institutions—may drive 2026 transactions • The one change Travis would make to the industry overnight *** Our Top Three Takeaways Revenue Without Profit Is a Mirage One of the clearest themes in this conversation is Travis's insistence that top-line performance is meaningless without margin discipline. He pushes owners and operators to look beyond RevPAR and focus on GOPPAR, emphasizing that not all revenue is created equal once costs are accounted for. The real work, he argues, is understanding *how* revenue is generated and being willing to sacrifice headline wins in favor of long-term profitability. The K-Shaped Recovery Is Reshaping Hotel Strategy Travis offers a grounded explanation for why luxury and upper-upscale hotels continue to outperform other segments. It's not that affluent travelers are price-insensitive; it's that post-COVID travelers are taking fewer trips and assigning more value to each one. When travel becomes part of the story rather than just a place to sleep, guests are willing to pay more, as long as luxury remains distinctive and doesn't slide into sameness. Say Yes, but Know When and Why On careers and leadership, Travis reframes the familiar advice to "say yes" with an important caveat: every investment of time and effort should come with an exit strategy. Early-career hustle only works when it leads somewhere, whether that's growth, learning, or the next opportunity. Without a clear payoff, ambition turns into exploitation, and knowing the difference is a critical leadership skill.

Mock Draft Monday is here, and we're going beyond the first round. This episode dives deep into all 32 second-round selections, exploring the prospects that could define franchises and the roster holes that keep GMs up at night. We kick things off with a full first-round recap before attacking the second round pick by pick. The Jets triple down on building around Ty Simpson with interior lineman Emmanuel Prenyon. Cleveland faces the reality of needing five new offensive linemen and grabs Chase Besantis. Kansas City lets the talent fall to them with TJ Parker off the edge. The Bengals address their secondary woes, Houston starts future-proofing a defense that's quietly aging out, and Pittsburgh makes the boldest move of the draft — sitting Trinidad Chambliss behind Aaron Rodgers in a Jordan Love replay scenario. For Green Bay, LT Overton becomes the "most Packers pick possible" as a young, toolsy edge rusher who fits the Gutey profile even if the PFF grades make you squint. We also break down why Connor Lou is a trap, why Malik Muhammad's regression is alarming, and why this board just didn't fall well for Green Bay.
