Packers STC Cam Achord on how he assesses kickers: "I'm going to put more stock into game days and stuff like that, and when we kick in stadiums." Achord mentions how Trey Smack is contacting the ball on film as a better indicator than make-miss numbers from practice.

Packers STC Cam Achord on why he wears cleats in practice: "I started doing that in 2018 when I got to New England, because I got tired of getting thrown to the ground doing gunner releases with Matt Slater."

Packers STC Cam Achord on Skyy Moore's return ability: "I evaluated him coming out of college. He didn't do it much in college. It was kind of projection." Achord said he monitored Moore's progress as a potential returner from afar.

Packers STC Cam Achord on how fluidity at long snapper is affecting Trey Smack and Daniel Whelan: "It's an added wrinkle, for sure. It's no different than the [cohesion] of an offensive line working together."

Packers DC Jonathan Gannon on his time with Zaire Franklin in Indianapolis: "I just knew how much he cared. How good of a teammate he was. ... I just felt like he was a guy that was going to be a really good football player." Gannon says Franklin is "wired the right way."

Packers DC Jonathan Gannon on Brandon Cisse: "We want to see him out there and see what he can do. Obviously, we took him where we took him. He's got the skill set that we're looking for."

Packers DC Jonathan Gannon on Barryn Sorrell: "He doesn't make a lot of mistakes. He's a great teammate. He's tough as nails. He can make a bunch of plays. I think it's been cool to see him, his versatility. ... He can do a lot of different things."

Packers DC Jonathan Gannon on Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams, and Javon Bullard: "When you got guys who can cover, tackle, play with vision, match people, blitz, I think we need to deploy them to put pressure on the offense as much as we can."

Packers DC Jonathan Gannon on how much he'll reveal during preseason: "A lot of different ways to do it. Had some really good conversations with Matt [LaFleur] about that. I don't think there's a right or a wrong answer with that question. I'll probably punt that one to Matt."

Packers DC Jonathan Gannon on Dani Dennis-Sutton working inside: "We're trying him out, we're trying all those guys out in there. ... I do think there's an element of a smaller body inside that gives another layer for the O-line with how they have to play."

Final: Brewers 4, Pirates 2 Keeping Logan Henderson around was a pretty solid idea. He delivers six innings of two-run ball with 8 Ks and the Brewers have reached 70 wins faster than any team in franchise history. The record: 70-43

As they amass more money and power, the public views billionaires as sweaty psychos Scrooge McDucking their way into evil amounts of cash. The collective ick emerging raises a question that wealthy men might prioritize over ethical perceptions: Have billionaires become categorically unfuckable?

No One Wants to Sleep With Billionaires

Wealth used to be helpful in the dating pool, but a growing class of billionaires are proving that money can't buy love.
