Reports of 'flopping' Lady Gaga Summerfest show 'ridiculous,' says Live Nation exec
Reports of struggling ticket sales for Lady Gaga's upcoming tour--in particular her Summerfest headlining show June 26--have prompted a Live Nation executive to speak out to Billboard about the "ridiculous" claims.
"The run with Gaga over the last two tours has been incredibly successful, and this one is shaping up no differently," Arthur Fogel, chairman of the company's global touring division, producers of Gaga's forthcoming artRave: The ARTPOP Ball tour, told Billboard's Ray Waddell. Fogel added that the 29 North American shows currently on sale have grossed $26 million in ticket revenue, with 80 percent of all tickets for North America and Europe dates already sold. »Read Full Article(2)

Corporate catamaran allowed to stay in Newport Harbor
The 125-foot-long, Virgin- and Google-decaled catamaran moored offshore in Newport Harbor has been granted another year.
The Harbor Commission agreed to renew the boat's stay at its Nov.13 meeting.
The boat, which has been mostly idle in the harbor since its arrival in 2010, is owned by Newport Beach resident Chris Welsh, who plans to use the vessel as a platform for a specially designed deep sea submarine.
Welsh and his partner, billionaire Richard Branson, announced their intent to dive to the five deepest points of the ocean in April 2011, but have been held back on their voyages due to a cracked viewing dome on the submarine – a piece critical to withstanding the immense pressures of the deep.
Over the past two years, Welsh has been waiting on a new dome to be manufactured, which has delayed the entire project.
The Harbor Commission originally granted a mooring arrangement for the yacht under the assumption that the vessel would only be in the harbor a few months out of the year, but it has remained at its mooring most months as the work continues.
"It's been tremendously hard, but we've been able to grind 2,300 pounds of fused quarts from the dome piece down to nearly 500 pounds and the finished product," Welsh said.
He expects another two months of work before the dome is complete and ready for pressure testing.
"Best-case scenario, we are 5-6 months away from finishing pressure testing, and eight months away from ramping up activity on the water and beginning underwater tests again," Welsh said, adding that the vessel could be out on deep sea voyages by the end of next year.
Harbor Commissioner David Girling noted that the city hadn't received any negative feedback on the large boat being in the harbor, and thought it was right to continue allowing the special mooring arrangement.
"He's making the effort to get this thing done, and we should allow him that," Girling said.

"You talk about picking up someone famous, go to Canada and pick up Gretzky," Mr. Barinowski said.
The president of American Airlines once climbed into a private corporate jet under Mr. Barinowski's command.
Mr. Barinowski has 20 years of experience in private aviation, most of it in the corporate world, shuttling executives and the well-to-do in need of privacy.
"Freddy Couples, he's my favorite passenger. No matter when you pick him up, morning noon or night, he gets in the back and takes a nap," Mr. Barinowski said. "We found out he likes candy bars, so we'd stick some back there. He had very few needs."
For nearly a year, Mr. Barinowski has been in business for himself, sliding out of corporation-owned aircraft and into his own plane.
AirStat's office is sparse, with roughed-out plywood walls and carpeting he installed himself. Mr. Barinowski said the only reason he has an office in his hangar at the Thomson airport is to hang Federal Aviation Administration certificates on the wall. His office phone is a wireless that is with him all the time, though it is turned off when he goes thousands of feet into the air.
"Airline guys got it made: They look at the papers and get on," the 47-year-old pilot said. "I load the bags, I order the food, I arrange for fuel, I file the flight plans, I fly the plane, coordinate the maintenance. A one-man circus."
At least, he doesn't have to cook the in-flight meals -- there's a caterer in Thomson for that.
The Augusta native flies out of McDuffie County because of the proximity to his Appling home. It is also closer to the growth areas of Columbia County, he said.
"From Belair Road, this is 20 minutes," Mr. Barinowski said. "The growth potential is here. I do a lot of business in Atlanta, people call me from St. Simons (Island, Ga.)."
The world of aviation is competitive. Mr. Barinowski is trying to attract non-executives to AirStat by marketing his air taxi service as an alternative to major airlines.
"It is jet-level, high-end service in a small plane. Not just selling A to B, it is service and details for you. It is not just for people in Hollywood or executives," he said.
Paul Roberts, a friend of 25 years, had this to say about Mr. Barinowski: "He is a composite of several Robert Redford characters. He doesn't look like Robert Redford ... he is a combination in personality. I'm thinking Out of Africa and The Sting ... "
Mr. Barinowski is that handsome, dashing pilot, Mr. Roberts said.
Mr. Barinowski has flown a few Hollywood stars, including Morgan Freeman, but those have been rare. Most of his passengers have been executives and business owners.
"When people think of corporate aviation, they think all these CEOs are vacationing in Paris on the stockholders' money. There's a little of that going on, but most of what occurs is business," Mr. Barinowski said.
His passengers are getting from one office to another, conducting the meeting and getting back to home base without the time constraints of the commercial airline scene.
"It is a valuable tool. If your company needs a tool like that, they should have it," he said.
In business for himself, Mr. Barinowski has a more diversified client base. He has even hauled freight in his twin-engine 1977 Piper airplane:
"You call, we haul ... so long as it can fit in the airplane," he said with a smile. "A company in town needed some parts in Louisville, Ky. Flew up there and got back so they can keep their line moving."
He chose the 30-year-old plane for its weight-bearing capability.
"There are not a lot of airplanes out there until you spend $2.5 million that will carry the weight that this one carries. I can carry 2,000 pounds of people and fuel in the air," he said.
It has six seats.
"People look at an airplane, and if it isn't an airliner, they think it is a little airplane and they're afraid of it," he said.
The pilot, not the plane, matters most, he said, asking: Would you rather get into a trashed-out cargo plane with Chuck Yeager in the cockpit or a sleek new jet with a person right out of flight school.
People ask him whether he can fly a 747.
"If someone pays me to," he responds. "You can fly anything once you learn to fly. To get into a different airplane, it is all about knowing the limits."
Earning his wings
Mr. Barinowski was born in Augusta in 1962 and grew up in the neighborhood around A. Brian Merry Elementary School in west Augusta. He was the oldest of three children born to Clarence and Sylvia Barinowski.
"I don't come from an aviation family, my dad was in the Air Force, but he wasn't a pilot," Mr. Barinowski said.
He grew up reading with fascination books such as 30 Seconds Over Tokyo .
His first flight in an airplane was memorable.
"Dad charted a four-seat airplane for fun. My brother got sick, and I loved every second of it," he recalled.
Aviation as a career wasn't an option presented to him in school. He didn't know what he wanted to do after graduating from Academy of Richmond County, so he went to Augusta State University and earned a degree in political science.
"I wanted to get my ticket punched and get out," Mr. Barinowski said. He had a minor in journalism: "Just about the only thing I could do in school was write."
Without an interest in politics or law, he looked briefly to the Air Force, which didn't have a need for him.
Mr. Barinowski got his first flight lesson as a sophomore at ASU.
"I had gotten some info on flying lessons and just showed at Daniel Field," he said.
The flight instructor planted the seed in his mind that he could fly as a career.
Mr. Barinowski went to Daytona Beach, Fla., to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for two years and emerged in 1986 with an aeronautics degree.
"I finally knew what I wanted to do and went at it," he said.
He returned to Augusta and started his career as most young pilots do, as a flight instructor.
"You've got to do like an apprenticeship in aviation. You've got all the licenses, but you don't have any experience, so no one is going to hire you," he said. "You've got do an entry-level job to get the flight time before someone will take a serious look at hiring you."
It takes about 1,000 hours of flight time to get a better job. Putting in those hours on a pilot's money is expensive, about $35 an hour in the 1980s.
"That's why people will haul a banner up and down the beach, flight instruct and fly parachutists," Mr. Barinowski said.
Flight business
After a couple of years of instructing at Daniel Field, Mr. Barinowski got a job flying a corporate plane.
"That led to another one," he said, and his career track was set.
One downside to a career in aviation is the lack of parallel moves.
"You get into a career track: military, airlines, corporate, freight hauling. You stay. There's not a lot of movement," Mr. Barinowski said.
He had thoughts over the years of working for an airline, but that would have required going to the bottom of the ladder despite his corporate-jet experience. These days, that option is off the table. Airlines are for a younger crowd that can take sharing an apartment and puddle-jumping for low pay, he said.
Mr. Barinowski was looking for work when he met his future wife in 1993. Sherry was a medical student at the Medical College of Georgia.
"We met through some relatives of mine who thought we should be together," Mr. Barinowski said. The setup was at an after-church lunch at a cousin's house.
"It was painfully obvious," Mr. Barinowski said. "We sat together at lunch, and I did my best to impress."
It worked, though, and he asked her to marry him after four months of dating. They were wed in December 1993, less than a year after meeting.
She had gotten a family practice job in her hometown of Rome, Ga. Mr. Barinowski signed on as a pilot with a corporate travel company nearby.
"Personal networking is how you find a job in my industry," he said. "Applications are shooting in the dark, you have to know somebody."
After two years, he signed on with a larger firm, Raytheon Travel Air, in the beginning of the mid-1990s trend of businesses buying shares of corporate jets.
Raytheon would later merge with a Cleveland company, Flight Options, forcing Mr. Barinowski to move to Dublin, Ohio, for a couple of years. In all, he spent six years flying executives around the country.
During his time with the company, he became a "check airman," testing other pilots in his company: "I would go to Wichita and live in the Hilton. Across the street would be the airport. The pilots would come to me."
Mr. Barinowski sat with them for two hours of desk work and two hours in the air, doing such things as simulated engine failures. Pilots also had to suddenly correct after he positioned the jet "out of whack."
The most memorable was trying to trick a pilot who once flew F-15 fighter jets.
"I gave him such an aggressive one that it went screaming through the red line -- the top speed allowed for the exercise -- 16,000 feet headed down in a hurry," he said. "Well, you can't rip the wings off. It took until 8,000 feet to get it level. Note to self, never do that again."
Mr. Barinowski left the timeshare corporate jet scene because he was tired of being gone from home 16 days a month.
The new level of airport security in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks didn't help. Crews would take a flight to wherever the jet was parked at the time of the crew changeover -- requiring a one-way ticket.
"That's four airline rides a month. I'm in a pilot's uniform. I've got a passport, frequent sleeper and frequent flier programs ... they would ping me every time for special screening because I would buy a one-way ticket," Mr. Barinowski said.
It happened often enough that he kept records of the extra security checks: 35 times in eight months.
Mr. Barinowski turned his attention to flying charter and began thinking of starting his own company. The initial application to the FAA for AirStat went out in 2007. The federal agency lost the paperwork.
There aren't more air taxis because of the difficulty, the red tape and the ownership of the plane without being able to use it, he said.
AirStat has a silent partner who owns the plane who is a "very understanding individual who knows that it is going to take awhile," he said.
The air taxi service opened for business last May.
On the airwaves
The Barinowski clan moved closer together, putting up houses near Appling on land owned by his father. It is also the home of the Good News Network, a group of Christian radio stations run by Clarence Barinowski.
When not flying, Perry Barinowski helps the mostly volunteer organization by lending his voice to recording station IDs and daily Scripture readings. In Augusta, the station is WLPE-FM (91.7), and there are 28 more in the network stretching into North Carolina.
He has his own office and recording studio at the radio network headquarters. The darkened room is dominated by aviation, with pictures of planes and his collection of autographed dispatch sheets.
"The most important thing to me is my faith in Christ. Without his blessing, I wouldn't have this kind of opportunity," he said. "On the human side, I have an incredible wife whose patience and understanding I couldn't do without. Her encouragement just means everything to me."
His voice isn't the only talent given to his faith. He plays the keyboard for Westminster Presbyterian Church on Wheeler Road every Sunday.
"My mom made me take piano lessons from when I was 8," Mr. Barinowski said. He was a typical boy in hating the piano, but his mother was insistent.
"And then they got me a different teacher who was a younger guy, an organist at one of the churches here," Mr. Barinowski said.
From sixth grade onward, he liked the piano, becoming an instructor to earn money in college. He has been the substitute piano and organ player in other Augusta churches over the years and has led a few church choirs.
Mr. Roberts said his friend has filled in for him whenever he can't be at the organ at First Presbyterian Church.
"I've recommended him for other engagements when I get a request," Mr. Roberts said. "He loves music, and he has tinkered with writing a little bit and arranging a little bit, which I do a lot of."
They share a love of the pipe organ. Though Westminster doesn't have one, Mr. Barinowski found a keyboard that emulates one.
"I'm so out of the times, I love the pipe organ and a choir," he said.
Mr. Barinowski said he sneaked onto a pipe organ at Cambridge University while on vacation in England. It got him kicked out: "Apparently, you've got to get permission first."
Asked whether it is more difficult to teach piano or flight, Mr. Barinowski has a diplomatic answer: "It is easier to teach when you've got a student that wants to learn."
His sons, Perry II and Jackson, are 9 and 6, respectively, so there's no pressure to know what they want to do with their lives. He doesn't want them to learn to fly and solo an airplane before adulthood.
"They love going up with dad. I'm not going to make them pursue my career," Mr. Barinowski said. "I want them to learn an instrument, play a sport and solo an airplane. What they do after that, we'll see."
He said his younger son already has airplane-recognition skills. He said he will teach his sons to fly, although that is predicated on how they feel about their father when they are 15.
"If you've got something together with your kids, you can build a relationship around it," he said.
They're studying jujitsu together now. It is a Japanese martial art based on joint locks and throws.
As in flight, landing is the hardest part, but they teach that in jujitsu, too.

Packers GM Ted Thompson on safety play, injuries, drafting a QB
Green Bay — Hopefully you weren't expecting a grandiose unveiling of the 2014 Green Bay Packers big board or, well, an opinion on much of anything draft-related at Ted Thompson's annual pre-draft press conference. The team's general manager is always tight-lipped before the NFL draft.
Yet Thompson did have a handful of interesting things to say at the podium Thursday. In addition to his optimism about Julius Peppers, he discussed injuries, safety play, "inside" information and more.
A few of the highlights from Lambeau Field... »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Ted Thompson on Julius Peppers: 'No evidence of any decline in his play'
Green Bay - Ted Thompson made a rare, keynote signing in March this year. Julius Peppers is a Packer.
Speaking for the first time about Peppers, the Packers general manager was very optimistic.
He doesn't see Peppers slowing down, even at 34 years old. »Read Full Blog Post(110)

Journal Sentinel photographer Mark Hoffman's shot of Jermichael Finley's leaping touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers in last season's opener was judged as the 2013 Photograph of the Year in the NFL.
The photo took first place in the action category of the 46th Annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Photo Contest, which is open to photographers on assignment to cover NFL games. The prestigious contest draws thousands of entries annually. The award is named after the late Dave Boss, who spent nearly four decades working for the NFL and led NFL Properties' creative division for 26 years. »Read Full Blog Post(8)

Corey Chavous on Packers needs, ILB debate, Van Noy, Richburg, safety fits
Green Bay — Finally, it's NFL Draft week. After months (and months) of build-up, prognostication becomes reality Thursday through Sunday. Several questions will soon be answered.
C.J. Mosley or Ryan Shazier? Who's the best safety fit? What about center, tight end?
There is no shortage of draftniks in 2014. One who's certainly worth your time is Corey Chavous. The 11-year NFL pro — who spent four of those years defending Brett Favre with the Minnesota Vikings — now watches film for "Draft Nasty." After talking draft and Packers recently, here are a few highlights. »Read Full Blog Post(21)
Draft Profile: Could BYU's Kyle Van Noy be a fit at linebacker?
Green Bay — Versatility will be valued within the Green Bay Packers' defense this season. Complexity was lacking by January last season.
At the NFL scouting combine, Mike McCarthy said the team wants players who can handle "more than one role," so the Packers aren't "taking too much home" schematically after games. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Packers hire Steve Marshall as assistant O-Line coach
Green Bay --- The Packers have hired former NFL and college assistant Steve Marshall to be their new assistant offensive line coach, the team announced Wednesday.
Two weeks ago, previous assistant Joel Hilgenberg resigned.
Marshall was just named the offensive line coach at New Mexico State in January 2014. Prior to that, he was with the Houston Texans 2002- '05, serving as the assistant offensive coach two years and the offensive line coach for two more years. And after that, Marshall was the Cleveland Browns' offensive line coach 2007 and 2008. In 2007, the Browns allowed only 19 sacks, third-fewest in the NFL. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Heard on draft day: 'Aaron, could you put your agent on the line?'
Green Bay - Former Green Bay Packers vice president of finance Andrew Brandt recalled an uncomfortable moment during the 2005 draft when he had to extend the agonizing wait for quarterback Aaron Rodgers while general manager Ted Thompson decided whether he was going to select Rodgers with the 24th pick.
If you remember, Rodgers was considered for the No. 1 pick in the draft in '05, but after San Francisco chose Alex Smith over him, he was passed over time after time as teams addressed other needs. It was an uncomfortable couple of hours for Rodgers, who had to wait with his agent, Mike Sullivan, in the green room with cameras chronicling his agony.
Brandt, writing in MMQB.com, said that the Packers had roughly 20 players with first-round grades and when their pick came up at No. 24, Rodgers was the only one left. It was Thompson's first draft as GM and he had a guy named Brett Favre on the roster about to start his 15th season. »Read Full Blog Post(18)

Let's review: The Packers' No. 21 candidates
Green Bay --- We're hours away from the first round of the NFL Draft. Quite possibly, the Packers don't even pick a player today. If a market for quarterbacks builds by the 21st pick, general manager Ted Thompson could deal down.
Yet however you mock it, the G.M. is going to have a shot at a defensive playmaker with his first pick. In his mock draft, Bob McGinn went with Alabama inside linebacker C.J. Mosley. In the Packer Plus mock draft, the pick was Calvin Pryor.
Here's a quick synopsis review of a handful of possibilities Green Bay may be choosing from once that No. 21 overall pick arrives. »Read Full Blog Post(29)

Green Bay mayor on hosting NFL Draft: 'We're going to be all over this'
Green Bay --- The NFL Draft will only become an exponentially more extravagant event. So it shouldn't be a huge surprise that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is considering alternatives to New York City's Radio City Music Hall.
This week, Goodell said that several mayors have been in contact with the league about bringing the draft to their cities.
Count Green Bay mayor Jim Schmitt in. On Thursday, Schmitt made it clear that he'd love for the NFL Draft to come to Green Bay, Wis. -- and he believes the city could handle the event. »Read Full Blog Post(6)
Look how far the NFL draft has come from 1967
Photo courtesy of Robert Walker/The New York Times
How far has the NFL draft come as a multimedia spectacle?
During the 1967 NFL draft, commissioner Pete Rozelle (pictured above) used a chalkboard to record the selections at the Gotham Hotel in New York City.
As the New York Times describes it in an article on the evolution of the draft, the event was "once a sleepy roll call for football insiders that took place in smoke-filled hotel ballrooms."
Today, two networks and more than 1,000 members of the news media are present at Radio City Music Hall to cover the event. And 3,500 fans in attendance and millions and millions more on the web, on their phones, and on TV and radio, follow along pick-by-pick over three days.
And about that chalkboard sribble showing Green Bay picking ninth in that 1967 draft, after winning Super Bowl I the season before?
The Packers' own draft position was at No. 25, but they had the No. 9 pick from Pittsburgh. They picked center/guard Bob Hyland out of Boston College with their first pick in the first round, and then QB Don Horn from San Diego State with their second pick in the round.
A look at the trade value chart and the Packers' options in the first round
Green Bay - We know the odds of Packers general manager Ted Thompson trading up from the 21st selection in the first round are remote since he's never moved up from his first pick in nine drafts with the Packers.
We do know he's willing to trade back because he did it in 2008 when in a deal with the New York Jets he moved back from No. 30 to No. 36 and selected wide receiver Jordy Nelson (the Packers also received a fourth, No. 102, and gave up a fourth, No. 113, and a fifth, No. 162.)
Teams use a draft value chart created by former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson and altered slightly over the past two decades to decide what the compensation should be to move around in the draft. Under that chart, each pick carries a numerical value and teams try to match values when they make a trade. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Houston Texans make Jadeveon Clowney the No. 1 overall pick
Green Bay --- In the end, the Houston Texans could not pass up a man of this size with these athletic gifts.
It was a gamble worth taking.
Jadeveon Clowney is the No. 1 overall pick. The 6-foot-5, 266-pound South Carolina defensive end has been a lightning rod for months, his effort and heart questioned repeatedly. But this remains a physical freak at the position. At the NFL scouting combine, Clowney ran a 4.53 in the 40 with a 37 1/2-inch vertical leap. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Vikings trade down, choose LB Anthony Barr; Lions go with Eric Ebron; Bears take Fuller
Green Bay --- The Minnesota Vikings had two chances at taking quarterback Johnny Manziel, at No. 8 overall and then No. 9. But after sliding down a slot, they went with a linebacker to combat Green Bay in the NFC North.
For now, the Vikings wait at quarterback.
UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr is Minnesota's first-round pick. The 6-foot-5, 255-pounder had 66 tackles (20 for loss) and 10 sacks last season. The hybrid F-back switched to defense at UCLA and quickly developed as an edge rusher. »Read Full Blog Post(9)
At No. 21 overall, the Packers select safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
Green Bay --- The Green Bay Packers selected Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix with their 21st overall pick Thursday night, filling a glaring need immediately.
A year ago, the Packers were the only team in the league without an interception from their safety group. On top of that, as noted by their coach, the group was beat deep too often. Miscues mounted. Big plays were scarce, historically scarce. And M.D. Jennings and Jerron McMillian were not the answer next to Morgan Burnett in 2013.
Green Bay hopes Clinton-Dix is. »Read Full Blog Post(108)
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix on No. 21: 'I'm going to wear it with pride'
Green Bay --- Highlights from Ha Ha Clinton-Dix's conference call with reporters at Lambeau Field. The Alabama safety discusses his role in Alabama's defense, his relationship with Eddie Lacy, the origins of his name and wearing No. 21 in Green Bay...
On his role in the defense: "I'll find out when I get there. I'm a great player. I play fast. I'm a great tackler. As I get there and learn the system and learn the entire defense and be comfortable, I think I'll be fine."
On how he was used in 2012/2013: "As a sophomore I was a young-in. He had me playing a lot of the deep middle and covering a lot in the boundary. ..Going into my junior year, I made a lot of the calls, checks, and felt comfortable anywhere. He moved me around a lot and used me a lot my junior year." »Read Full Blog Post(44)
Around the Web: What they are saying about the Packers' pick of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is called the top safety on the board in ESPN's Insider analysis. Under the category how he fits, ESPN says: "The Packers did not get a single interception from the safety position a year ago and they lack playmakers and depth inside on the back end of this defense. Clinton-Dix is the ultimate center fielder and a guy who can run this secondary."
In the Rapid Reaction category, ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky says: "How long have we been saying the Packers needed to find their next big-play safety? At least since the end of last season, if not earlier. The only NFL team that did not get a single interception from a safety in 2013, the Packers have finally made a move to replace Nick Collins . . . "
NFL.com offers a short video of Clinton-Dix in his hotel room as he gets ready for the draft. "I promise I'm gonna be the best dressed tonight," Clinton-Dix says.
Overall, the Packers' selection of Clinton-Dix was met with applause from media critics around the country. CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated and the Salt Lake Tribune all gave Green Bay an A in their first-round draft grades while Bleacher Report's Michael Schottey gave the pick an A-. »Read Full Blog Post(19)
Video: Bob McGinn examines the Packers' selection of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
The Green Bay Packers selected Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix with the 21st pick in the NFL Draft. The Journal Sentinel's Bob McGinn joins CineSport's Brian Clark to examine the move.
Was trading down a better option for Thompson?
Green Bay - The Packers believe they obtained a player who can fill one of their safety positions for years to come with the selection of Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix with the No. 21 pick in the draft.
Will he be a perennial Pro Bowl selection like Nick Collins?
That is definitely not a given and it is not something scouts were predicting heading into the draft. By most accounts Clinton-Dix will either be a competent starter for the Packers or just an ordinary player fighting for his spot in the lineup. »Read Full Blog Post(89)

The story behind Ha Ha Clinton-Dix's Packers photo on Instagram
It was well before the draft and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix had no idea where he would wind up, but a certain former teammate of his at Alabama named Eddie Lacy had been chatting with him, so he was inspired to put on a Green Bay Packers shirt he had.
"Well, I had been talking to Eddie for a minute and I was looking through my bag and I was like, 'Well, I guess I'll throw this on,' and it looked pretty good on me, so I decided to put it on," Clinton-Dix said. "So, I was just hanging in my room thinking and I decided to take a picture on Instagram, and I put it up and it kind of blew up."
Alabama defensive players a mixed bag in the pros
Green Bay — The strongest case for safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix is NFL readiness. Several times Thursday night, safeties coach Darren Perry cited Nick Saban and the Alabama defense.
"If you know anything about Alabama, Nick Saban, he puts a lot of pressure on the secondary guys, particularly the safeties," Perry said. "They get challenged mentally. Physically, when you play in a program like that you're going to get challenged. We spent a great deal of time talking with him. Coach Capers, Mike, a lot of our personnel guys.
"We feel good about his football IQ and then the training he's had coming from Alabama should help him in the NFL." »Read Full Blog Post(16)
In the 2nd round, Packers take Fresno State WR Davante Adams
Green Bay --- Ted Thompson has a knack for hitting the bull's eye on wide receivers in the second round. Maybe he did it again Friday night.
In the second round, Green Bay selected Fresno State wide receiver Davante Adams.
"He's a competitor, he competes," wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett said. "He goes up and attacks the football. Extremely productive. When you look at YAC, he's a strong runner. He breaks tackles and also shows the ability to make people miss." »Read Full Blog Post(76)

Green Bay - With the 85th overall pick in the NFL draft Friday night, the Packers took Khyri Thornton in the third round. He is a DT out of Southern Mississippi from Panama City, Fla.
He would likely play DE in the 3-4 defensive scheme in Green Bay.
He started 28 of 50 career games. Second-team All-Conference USA player. Four-year letter winner had 39 tackles with 6.5 tackles for loss and a half sack in 2013. »Read Full Blog Post(64)
Packers GM Ted Thompson after rounds 2 and 3
Green Bay - Packers general manager Ted Thompson talked about the Packers picks second and third round Friday night at Lambeau Field. Here are some of the highlights:
• On Davante Adams: Likes him a lot. They have a dynamic offense. "His ability to catch the ball, first and foremost, is something we looked very closely at. He's remarkable at that."
• Packers have done well in these rounds of late. They were all athletic, Greg Jennings, Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson. "It's worked out that way for us for the most part." "We've had some good fortune. It's a credit to those young men." »Read Full Blog Post(29)
Packers find a tight end with 98th pick in Cal's Richard Rodgers
Green Bay --- After finding a safety, tapping into a rich class of wide receivers and then going with potential sleeper at defensive tackle, the Green Bay Packers added a tight end with their compensatory pick in the third round --- Cal's Richard Rodgers.
At the tight end position, the Packers decided to go with athleticism. Rodgers, who played varsity basketball for four years of high school, caught 39 passes for 608 yards (15.6 avg.) with one touchdown last year. His father is the special teams coach for the Carolina Panthers and was part of "The Play" against Stanford in 1982.
"He has really good hands, catches the football and he's a detailed route runner," tight ends coach Jerry Fontenot said. "His understanding of schemes and concepts, he really understands the game. »Read Full Blog Post(48)
New Packers TE Richard Rodgers: 'I'm confident in my ability to block'
Green Bay --- Who knows how much the Packers were interested in the three tight ends drafted ahead of them in the second round. By the time Green Bay selected wideout Davante Adams, Austin Seferian-Jenkins (Tampa Bay), Jace Amaro (New York Jets) and Troy Niklas (Arizona) were gone.
In the third round, with the 98th pick, the Packers did take a tight end in California's Richard Rodgers. More on him online soon, but here are a few comments from Rodgers in his conference call with reporters Saturday night.
Initially a 278-pound blocking tight end, Rodgers trimmed 30-plus pounds to become an inside receiver. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

Green Bay - New Packers WR Jared Abbrederis is speaking to Green Bay reporters on a conference call this afternoon. Here are highlights of what he had to say (we will have full stories later).
• His game against Ohio State, help prepare for the NFL? "That was big game for me. Confidence-wise, playing against a guy that went first round. That gave me a lot of confidence that I can play at this level."
• How does it feel to be a Packer? "It's crazy right now. I found out probably 15 minutes ago. Just being a walk-on at Wisconsin, and then realizing my dream to play in the NFL, and on the Packers, which is my team, growing up. That's who I rooted for. I'm excited; I can't really explain it. A lot of emotions." »Read Full Blog Post(4)
Packers take Baylor cornerback Demetri Goodson in sixth round
Green Bay - Between Davante Adams and the Packers' sixth-round pick, Baylor CB Demetri Goodson, the Packers should have a pretty good off-season basketball team.
Adams said Friday that basketball was his game growing up and he still uses the tools he learned on the court to help him at the wide receiver position. Goodson, it turns out, played college basketball at Gonzaga before deciding to focus on football.
The 5-11, 194-pound Goodson, whose brother Mike plays running back for the Jets, played three seasons at Gonzaga, appearing in 103 games and averaging 5.1 points. »Read Full Blog Post(14)

Packers add QB Retting, ILB Thomas after completion of draft

Wisconson's Chris Beatty on Abbrederis: 'He's never had anything given to him'
Green Bay --- You read that correctly here in the JS Blog. The Green Bay Packers have selected a player from Wisconsin. Wide receiver Jared Abbrederis is staying in Wisconsin. More on him online soon, but here are a few extra comments from his position coach in Madison, Chris Beatty from a conversation Saturday night.
Q: You mentioned this is a good fit, but how will Jared Abbrederis handle the pressure of playing for his hometown team?
Beatty: "I don't think there will be that much pressure. I think he's going to a place that's familiar, close to home. That's always good to have a support system. But I think the offense is really tailormade for him. To play in the slot and grow in that system, I think is a great fit for him." »Read Full Blog Post(14)
Video: Tom Silverstein recaps the Packers' draft
The Journal Sentinel's Tom Silverstein and CineSport's Justin Shackil recap the Packers draft, analyze how Jared Abbrederis fits into Green Bay's system and discuss who will make an immediate impact.
Around the Web: A few final thoughts on the Packers' draft
Chris Burke and Doug Farrar loved the Packers' draft.
Giving the Packers an 'A' grade at SI.com, they said: "Few teams addressed obvious needs as aggressively and intelligently in this draft as the Packers, starting with first-round safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. The Alabama product can cover deep, and he's a great hitter from linebacker depth up. Three underrated receivers — Fresno State's Davante Adams in the second round, Wisconsin slot man Jared Abbrederis in the fifth and Saginaw Valley State's Jeff Janis in the seventh — should make Aaron Rodgers very happy."
CBS Sports handed out grades for all of the Packers' Day 3 picks, among them:
Carl Bradford: B+
Corey Linsley: C+
Jared Abbrederis: A
Demetri Goodson: C
Jeff Janis: B+
And, in regard to Abbrederis, Derek Stephens said: "Abbrederis may be this year's top route-runner, and plays with underrated physicality off the line of scrimmage. Great hands, and a firey competitor."
Count Bryan Fischer as a fan of the Packers' draft. In his final review of all 32 teams at NFL.com, Fischer said of the Packers: "Bradford is an instinctive linebacker who adds depth and can play a number of spots. All-Big Ten selection Linsley is about a good of a fit as you can find at center. The Packers also get one of the most reliable wideouts in the draft with Abbrederis. Good story in former college hoops player Goodson getting drafted as a corner."
And, in a tip of the cap to next season, ESPN's Rob Demovsky has some great advice for Packers fans: "Next year, when Thompson tells you he doesn't draft for need, remember this: Among his first six picks were a safety (Clinton-Dix), a receiver (Adams), a tight end (Rodgers) and a center (Linsley). Not coincidentally, the Packers had an opening for a starting free safety, lost a receiver (James Jones) and a center (Evan Dietrich-Smith) in free agency, and have not re-signed last year's starting tight end (Jermichael Finley)."

Alabama's Hubbard to join Packers pending heart exam
Green Bay - Alabama outside linebacker Adrian Hubbard, one of the best players not to be selected in the National Football League draft, blamed his snub on a minor heart abnormality for which he has been cleared.
Hubbard flew to Green Bay Sunday afternoon after agreeing to terms on a free-agent contract with the Packers shortly after the draft concluded Saturday.
"I didn't know it could be a problem because we had all the issues fixed," Hubbard said. "I think the big problem was somehow, some way the papers didn't get to all the teams. But, oh well." »Read Full Blog Post(77)

ASU's Todd Graham on Bradford: 'The best I've ever coached coming off that edge'
Green Bay — Quite possibly the player who helps the Green Bay Packers' defense most from last weekend's NFL draft was found in the fourth round with the 121st overall pick. Of the four defensive players selected, Arizona State's Carl Bradford was the most disruptive.
Playing the "devil 'backer" position in Todd Graham's defense, Bradford had 20 sacks, 39 tackles for loss and six forced fumbles the last two seasons. »Read Full Blog Post(49)
Autry not among undrafted free agents Packers sign
Green Bay - Some minor health concerns the Packers had with DE Denico Autry resulted in them not signing him to a rookie free agent contract.
Autry, a 6-4 1/2, 280-pounder from Mississippi State, had agreed to a deal with the Packers pending a team physical. A source said there wasn't a major concern over one injury, but rather some minor issues that hat caused the Packers to change their minds.
The Packers are very cautious when it comes to injuries and just because they won't sign somebody doesn't mean the player won't be signed by another team. Autry may wind up with someone else. »Read Full Blog Post(6)
Packers sign Abbrederis, working to get other rookies signed quickly
Green Bay - It may take a little while for top picks Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Davante Adams to get their first contracts completed, but there's a chance the Packers will have all the rest of their picks signed by the time they hit the field for the first time Friday.
Several agents of the Packers' draft choices said that they expected contracts for their clients to be signed in the next couple of days barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Once source said WR Jared Abbrederis of Wisconsin signed his four-year deal already. »Read Full Blog Post(32)
WR Jeff Janis signs with Packers; CB James Nixon cut
Green Bay --- The third of three wide receivers drafted by Green Bay is now under contract. Saginaw Valley State's Jeff Janis has signed with the team, according to the league's transaction wire.
Also, the Packers have cut cornerback James Nixon under the failed physical designation. In case you missed it, here's the post from Tom Silverstein earlier today on contract structure for the Packers' draft picks.
Janis, 6-foot-3, 219 pounds, ripped through his Division II competition, catching 83 passes last season for 1,572 yards and 14 touchdowns. Green Bay is likely hoping he can offer another deep-threat dimension down the road. In addition to that 18.9 average, Janis ran a 4.42 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine. »Read Full Blog Post(46)

Packers WR Jeff Janis: 'This is just the next step'
Green Bay --- Wide receiver Jeff Janis might be have been a steal in the seventh round for Green Bay. Few wide receivers in the entire draft are put together like him in terms of size, speed, etc.
Yet as his position coach at Saginaw Valley State explained in today's story, Janis will need to learn to bring it every game, every play. He didn't need to in college. He dominated. »Read Full Blog Post
Oregon TE Lyerla among those trying out for Packers
Green Bay - Packers general manager Ted Thompson has given second chances to players like Johnny Jolly and Koren Robinson and it appears he's willing to do the same for Oregon TE Colt Lyerla.
Dismissed from the Oregon football team and later charged with possession of cocaine, Lyerla has been trying to get NFL teams to believe he deserves a chance to play professional football. He's getting that chance in Green Bay, taking part in the rookie orientation camp on a tryout basis.
The Packers held an open practice Friday morning and Lyerla was one of the many tryout players who were auditioning for Thompson and the Packers coaching staff. The Packers have usually signed one or two tryout players after the camp. »Read Full Blog Post(45)
McCarthy: We have created a very competitive 90-man roster
Green Bay - Here is a summary of coach Mike McCarthy's comments in his post-rookie orientation practice press conference Friday:
- (Quarterbacks in practice) It's difficult for everybody. That's why it's rookie orientation. It's not a minicamp. No one is going to be evaluated for execution. I thought today was good compared to other days. But quarterback has a lot (to do).
- (Important camp) Just talking to all the rookies, everyone has earned an opportunity for a spot on our 90-man roster. Look at history, percentage of undrafted free agents ... everyone knows we had two start in the Super Bowl. This is a young man's league. These tryout players, there's not a whole lot of difference between the guys who signed free agent contracts. They're all here for a reason. Gives us a chance to continue the evaluation process to build best 90-man roster.
- (TE Colt Lyerla) Really I mean Colt is just like the other 58. He's one of the 58. He's done things in his college career and [we're] fully aware of everything that every prospect's done on and off the field and with that we feel he's earned the opportunity as a tryout player to earn a spot to go to training camp. I'm excited to watch all these guys.
- (Tryout decisions) I think we're like most teams, spend a lot of time looking at guys and if they're on your board, you like them. These are all players that either a scout or somewhere in our process someone feels very good about.
- (Tryout guys) You want to see something jump out at you. The personnel staff has major input into who's here. You're looking at movement ability, you're looking at fit. It's the responsibility of the coaches to have systems to take advantage of any athlete that can help us win.
- (Clinton-Dix) Draft last weekend so rookies traveled Sunday and Monday. He's been in meetings with veterans Tuesday and Thursday. I think he's off to a good start.
- (Awestruck bunch) The awe factor, that's really a question for them. I like this group. They all look like they belong. They all look you in the eye when you talk to them. They're obviously very impressed with our facilities. Our veterans are around all morning, with their workout they just had strength and conditioning responsibilities this morning so there may have been some interaction between the rookies and the vets. But to get on the field and practice with the veteran group, even if it's on there, they get to see the speed of it, how fast it is, get the feel of what pro football is really like.
- (Thursday night meeting) Thursday night meeting for the rookie orientation, it's always a unique meeting. It's different this year, we actually combined it, we combined a couple things. We had most of the guys, I think we had a team meeting with them on Monday just so they knew what to do from Monday to Thursday. So, it was disjointed. But there's a video that has been done, historically, and we make every prospect that's here part of that video. So, it's unique. I think the players really appreciate it.
- (Abbrederis) Just watching him in the IPWs and a little bit today, he's definitely a very good athlete, good body control. But he's like the rest of them, he needs to orientated and get accustomed to what's being asked of him. Strength and conditioning, he can make some gains there. I'm very pleased he's here.
- (Undrafted guys) We like them all. We have created a very competitive 90-man roster. I think you'll see that throughout each position group. Move back to the receiver group, top to bottom, I don't know if we've ever had as competitive as that as far as if you go just off pure evaluation of players coming into your program and aligning them with the players that are already here. I think the free agent group has created very good competition. There are going to be some tryout players that I feel we're really going to like at the end of this weekend.
- (Linsley) A little bigger than I thought he was. That was a good thing. Powerful young man. You can see the strength he plays with in college. And that's just in the short time he's been here. He has good command, I like his personality. You've got to have that. He's off to a good start.
And that's it for McCarthy. (29)
Whitewater LB Cole Klotz among Packers' 28 tryout players
Green Bay - Linebacker Cole Klotz of UW-Whitewater was among 28 players participating Friday in the Green Bay Packers' rookie orientation camp on a tryout-only basis.
The Packers' roster stood at 88, two beneath the 90-man off-season limit, after the club announced the signing of Iowa safety Tanner Miller.
Generally, the Packers offer free-agent contracts to two or three tryout players a few days after the end of their three-day camp. »Read Full Blog Post(4)
For Jared Abbrederis, hometown story begins
Green Bay --- Rookie camp in Green Bay probably hasn't carried this much media buzz over one specific player in years. For the first time since 2001, the Packers drafted a player from Wisconsin.

Fresno State WR coach breaks down Davante Adams' hands, speed, route running

In the third quarter, Adams ran a fade to the left corner of the end zone and was mugged by a defender.

Jermichael Finley will undergo testing with Packers on Wednesday
Green Bay — Tight end Jermichael Finley will undergo testing on his neck with the Green Bay Packers' medical staff Wednesday, according to a source.
Finley originally suffered the spinal contusion in Green Bay's 31-13 win over the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 20 of last season, and then had his vertebrae fused. Yet almost immediately, Finley made it clear he wanted to continue his NFL career.
To this point, Finley hadn't been cleared. Possibly this is a sign that the bone has healed, the key to Finley's recovery. Or possibly, this is a final check-up of sorts in Green Bay. »Read Full Blog Post(143)

In five games last season, Aiyewa recorded four solo tackles. Primarily a special teams player, he originally was signed to the Packers' practice squad on Oct. 15, 2013. The 6-foot-1, 237-pounder started his career as an undrafted free agent in 2011.
A.J. Hawk, Brad Jones, Jamari Lattimore, Sam Barrington along with undrafted rookies Jake Doughty and Joe Thomas are Green Bay's inside linebackers heading into OTA's and minicamp.

Source: Packers agree to terms with first-round pick Clinton-Dix
Green Bay - Rookie holdouts are a thing of the past in the NFL and so it comes as no surprise that the Packers were able to reach terms with first-round pick, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, on a new contract.
An NFL source said Thursday afternoon that the two sides had agreed to a deal with the former Alabama safety, who has been taking part in organized team activities with the rest of the club.
Financial terms weren't available, but first-round picks all sign four-year deals and the club has the option of including a fifth-year option. In order to add the fifth year, the team must exercise the option before the player begins his fourth season. »Read Full Blog Post(5)

Green Bay – Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews didn't practice Thursday with the Packers but he sounded optimistic that he might be ready to go when training camp breaks on July 25.
He said he expects to be limited during the OTAs and that means watching practice while standing on the sidelines.
"It's been a long offseason with the surgeries and rehab and physical therapy," said Matthews. "But it's definitely coming along. I'm doing everything I can to get out there as soon as I can. I don't see there being any hindrance towards the beginning of the season, towards camp. But obviously I am speaking a few months in advance." »Read Full Blog Post(4)

The 34-year-old towered above defensive linemen and linebackers in his new No. 56. Peppers, all of 6 foot 7 inches and 287 pounds is listed as an outside linebacker, and worked with that group Thursday, though it'd be no surprise if he moves around. »Read Full Blog Post(15)
Packers coaches have not talked to Finley
Green Bay – Tight end Jermichael Finley was in Green Bay on Wednesday - for personal reasons and for testing - but he didn't talk to the Packers coach Mike McCarthy or his position coach Jerry Fontenot, so questions about his future with the team sure weren't answered by any means on Thursday.
Fontenot said he was hoping for the best for Finley.
"Nothing would please me more than to be able to welcome him back as a member of the Green Bay Packers again," said Fontenot. "That's a decision that unfortunately isn't going to be made by the coaching staff. It is going to be a medical decision ultimately. Sure, I'd love to see him back – but not at the expense of him possibly putting himself at risk." »Read Full Blog Post(3)
In just Day 2 of OTAs, Julius Peppers has won over teammates
Julius Peppers hasn't played a snap yet and still his presence is felt around the Green Bay defense.
"Julius is such an impressive person from all angles," said Packers coach Mike McCarthy. "Very professional approach, takes great care of himself. You can see that in phase one to phase two workouts, just the way he moves. He looks awesome in 56. I was worried we were not going to be able to find a shirt that would fit him. He looks very natural at the outside linebacker position."
It's not often that GM Ted Thompson signs a big name, older free agent, but Charles Woodson and Ryan Pickett turned out to be good signings in the past. The Packers fully expect that kind of impact from Peppers. »Read Full Blog Post(7)
A.J. Hawk loses his lunch with the Blue Angels
Green Bay – On Wednesday after practice, Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk raced over to the western side of the state to the LaCrosse Regional Airport to fulfill a years-long wish to take a joy ride with the Blue Angels.
Hawk has always had an interest in the military, so Hawk took a 50-minute ride in the plane and it left him pretty green at the end. He had to apologize to the pilot a few times for throwing up.
"I told them before going up I expect to puke and pass out. And I flickered in and out of consciousness. And I got sick in minutes 12 or 13," said Hawk on Thursday after Green Bay's OTA practice. "I was just trying to not die up there. »Read Full Blog Post(16)

On Thursday, Raji said it wasn't all crickets in March.
"Actually, there was some interest," Raji said after Green Bay's Thursday OTA practice. "That's why I don't look at it as, 'Oh, I'm coming back for one year.' It was, I chose to come back for one year. I had some options, I'm not going to get into that, but I had a few teams who were interested in me." »Read Full Blog Post(106)
