With the exception of Cobb, none of the replacemants have been better players.Hide replies
Colledge better than Lang? No way.
I agree chuck
lang is an upgrade.
Fought injuries and has been inconsistent.
College was a solid player. Plateaued too early, but always answered the bell.
I wouldn't rate one over the other at this point.
Fortunately, for the blind who think Colledge is better than Lang, it's not too late to get eye surgery and watch Colledge "play" for the hapless Cards.
Not a chance Mr. Kiper, Hayward is better than Woodson right now too! Not saying he is better overall but at this point I'd take Hayward over Woodson.
Hayward has a LONG way before he can be mentioned with a DPOY and HOF-caliber player.
Mel, Woodson isn't that DPOY and HOF-caliber player anymore though. Too many fans live in the past. Hayward isn't being compared to Woodson of a few years ago. He's being compared to Woodson now.
Woodson was great because he made game changing plays at CB. His free style allowed him to be great. Once he lost a step and couldn't cover adequately anymore at CB and they had to move him to safety, he couldn't freelance as much and his greatest strength was smothered.
As an overall player, Hayward isn't at Woodson's level but as a slot CB; there probably isn't a team in the league that would take Woodson over Hayward. Look at Haywards stats this season. Unbelievable. And he dropped another like 5 picks that he'll probably catch in the future.
Woodson should just be taken out of this conversation.
He's the 2nd best Packer defender I've seen here. White beats him out only beacuse he was a force of nature. Statistically, Wood is THE very best.
I think Hayward will be special in his own right. But he should not be compared with a player of Woodsons caliber at this point. It's just not fair.
Woodson will not be replaced. Ever. Same with Reggie, as we've seen. I'm too young to have seen Nitschke, but I'm sure many say that about him to this day.
.. and I guess I don't look at it as Woodson, as of today, may be finished. I look at it like, that void can't be filled. Same with Clifton, and Collins. Less so with Jenkins and Wells.
Bottom line for me: this team peaked in 2010-2011, and is clearly not the same as of today.
Yes, time ended the careers of Cliffy and Wood. I don't hold that against Thompson or anyone. But this team is not better than it was a few years ago, and it looks like the mountain is just getting harder to climb.
If anyone can coach this O-line up to average, we win #14. It all depends on giving the best QB in the game enough time and running the ball for a buck a game. This team is Rodgers.
judging by how many "colledge must go" posts we saw versus how few "lang must go" posts we see, i bet most blog denizens would disagree.
The Scotty, Jenks, and St. Nick replacements were not better...the rest were in my opinion...Cliffy, Drive and Sir Charles all had appointments with father time...Lang is an improvement over Colledge...a bit better at guard and can play T in a pinch...Colledge can't.
Lang > Colledge
I've watched a few Arizona games over the past two yrs...he (and his new linemates) are bad. I notice the poor play and laugh.
Didn't Raji and Neal push him around in the game 9 victory pretty good? Just looked like the same Colledge...getting bulled back into a bad QB (instead of a good one).
I didn't buy McGinn's opinion that this team would mirror the 90's... but the evidence is mounting in a big hurry.
I would say that Cobb, Lang, Hayward and even Newhouse have all been better. There's only a small chance that each of them will have a better career than the players that they're replacing; but they each performed better than Driver, Colledge, Woodson and Clifton performed (or would have performed) last year.
Newhouse might not start next year, but Clifton just couldn't move anymore. Newhouse was an upgrade from the old and injured Clifton, but he certainly isn't an upgrade from Clifton in his prime.Hide replies
Newhouse was worse than Mandarich.
I fully expect the Pack will be getting younger at one ILB spot too... and a bit older at the other when The Bishop of the D returns.
Regardless of who you think is better than whom at these spots, the bottom line is that time marches on. It would be completely irresponsible for TT and company to just re-sign all of their players.
Colledge was everybody's whipping boy when I first started monitoring this blog and with good reason.
Jenkins never stayed healthy and that trend has continued in his 2 years in Philly
Wells underwent 2 surgeries last year.
Clifton played on balky knees the last 4 years and was clearly done.
Woodson's freelancing was tolerated as long as he was productive but he gave up a lot of big plays esecially the last 2 years.
The only guy who would likely still be playing with GB in 2014-15 is Collins.
You can argue whether or not the people TT has drafted are better players or not, but all those players (aside from Collins) were older/descendin players in a young person's game and had to be replaced. Let's just hope that TT's recent drafts pan out in the long run.Hide replies
Excellent post
I agree. Let's not forget that the biggest loss of all, Collins, could not continue because of injury. How could TT have foreseen that? How would last season's secondary have looked had Collins been able to play? And please, can we stop pining for Cullen Jenkins? He was not the reason a 15-1 team (all done without him ever on the field) did not advance in the playoffs. He was also not the reason the Packers did not advance this year.
BTW, let's not forget that if Johnny Jolly had not screwed himself up, the loss of Jenkins would have hardly been noticed.
Jenkins has played in 32 of 32 for Philly but I agreed w letting him go. Not because he was a bad player but because he just wasn't worth the risk/$ at 30 plus.
Neal was healthy this yr, for the most part, and had 4.5 sacks in less than a season. Comparable to Jenkins production.
The team was back to 2010 sack totals (47).
I don't understand why people are making Nick Collins comparisons. Ted Thompson didn't "let him go". Collins suffered a career ending injury and no other team is willing to sign him either. How many teams could replace a top 5 player at his position in his prime right away? Not a whole lot.
If Collins never got hurt, this Packer team might have been in another Super Bowl. Collins and Burnett would also be one of the best safety tandums in the league. Not having Collins and Bishop this past season were the two primary reasons the Packers weren't Super Bowl bound again and there's nothing Thompson could do about either.
I miss Nick Barnett's production. Ted definitely leaves sentimentality at the door. None of the players that have moved on has been terribly productive at their next stop.Hide replies
Not TT's MO to pick up a player that's descending. I like Barnett too, but he's on the wrong side of 30.........
TT will have a pretty darn good shot of chaulking one up in the plus column when he
parts ways with AJ. Also who replaced Barnett? Can remember..
I think Wood will sign somewhere and have one good season then flame out - kind of reminicent of BF.
Should we realistically be looking at GB opportunity to get back to SB in 2 years? Do Gm's really think that way?Hide replies
Exactly, huskie. He didn't mention a couple of them. Bishop replaced Barnett and Bishop is the defenses best nasty old school player. Big upgrade there.
If Hawk is cut, I could see Barnett back under a minimum deal.
He's had 2 solid seasons since leaving.
I don't understand why everybody thinks Hawk will be gone. He won't be.
1. He doesn't miss games. If they dump him their ILB corps consists of 2 guys coming off major injuries and unproven 2nd and 3rd year players.
2. They don't save that much cap room by cutting him. If they cut him now they save about $1.5 million. If they cut him after June 1, they end up with $3.2 million of dead money on next year's cap. I don't see either scenario happening.
I don't mind Hawk's solid yet very unspectacular play, especially next to a playmaker like Bishop, but I would definitely be interested in bringing Barnett back at a bargain price.
I still think Terrell Manning is someone to watch but if you can add Barnett on the cheap; Capers could also then move around Bishop. Bishop is a very nice pass rusher. Capers could send him over to a side with CMIII and reak havoc.
You don't understand why everyone thinks Hawk will be gone? Because he stinks, that's why. It appears there are a number of people on these boards who would agree with this, , don't know what games others are watching. AJ is slow, has no instinct for the game, no lateral quickness, gets engulfed by blockers, gets run over by running backs, blown up by fullbacks, can't cover, can't get any pressure on the QB, shall I go on? Cap space or no, at some point you have to deliver on the field. When you fail to do that (READ: No turnover caused plays in 2 years) r=then you should be a goner, 5th pick in the draft or not.
And estus' love affair with Hawk continues...
Why are there a handful of posters on here who every time they see the name of a player who they don't like, their eyes get bright and they can't wait to just spew venom about them. I don't understand the personality trait. Get a life.
Every time I see Hawk mentioned, I'm just waiting for estus and his full paragraph on Hawk sucks at life. Get over it.
AJ is by all accounts a nice person - gives it his all, etc.... however the bottom line, as they say, is that is is significantly overpaid for his production. And, if GB waits till June 1 I believe to cut him, they save 5.25 mil cap hit. (on one of the recent blogs)
By releasing Hawk now, the Packers would acquire a net gain of only $2.25 million. As detailed, the Packers could wait until after June 1 and push Hawk's $3.2 million of prorated signing bonus to 2014 and, thus, be off the hook for Hawk's $5.45 million salary.
Tyler Dunn's blog - 2/15/13
Was Wells better than Saturday? Yes, but Wells was injured most of 2012. Would that have happened if he was with the Packers? We'll never know, but you cannot discuss the Wells departure without discussing the fact that Wells was injured and has once again undergone knee surgery.Hide replies
I fully support TT but the Wells non-signing was a bad move. There's no way around it. Just cause Wells got hurt doesn't mean letting him go was a good move.
Now if they draft a mid-round center this season and he's as good or better than Wells for cheaper, then we've got something.
I disagree with you onthe Wells situation. I think it was a good move not to re-sign him for the $6 million per year that the Rams signed him for. I don't think Wells was worth that kind of money. If you had been talking about $1 million per year, then I agree with you. But Wells as going to strike it rich, and we couldn't afford it with our cap.
Now that doesn't mean I think Saturday wa a good signing. Obviously he wasn't.
Saturday had a great career and was a well respected Center in the NFL he was consistently good and I could imagine TT trusting him to continue. I thought it was a good pick up given his rep and I could imagine TT and MM surprised that his performance took that huge of a dive. It happens a player can play so amazingly well for so long and one season he nose dives. If Saturday had a good season I could suspect Saturday would still put in another season next year versus retiring.
This comment has been deleted.
Did you read my post word from word? Thought not. I clearly stated what TT and MM both thought entering the 2012 which is why he picked him up in the first place. Unfortunalty for the Packers his performance tanked and he knows this which is why he is no longer playing in the NFL and retired.
This is a very odd article. TT tried to replace Clifton with a 1st round draft pick but Sherrod got injured. Do you replace a 12 year vet with an older player? Wells was replaced with Saturday (an older player) but it didn't work out, then turned to a younger player. Woodson played Safety much of last year Hayward is strictly a CB and few people thought he was replacing Woodson when he showed up. Collins was injured and TT didn't try to replace him with anyone younger. Collins might still be a Packer without the neck problem.Hide replies
Spot on. Regardless I think the return of Sherrod and Bulaga will improve our offensive line.
Regarding the Saturday deal is that I too was persuaded into thinking with Saturday our Oline will be fine with his rep. However we all can agree that turned out not the way we liked it. EDS did a great job coming in and replacing him. Hayward did in fact replace Woodson especially when the coaching staff pushed him to the safety position and to be honest that worked out nicely.
Ora85 I think we would of had a very better chance on getting to the Super Bowl last season in 2011 with Collins its sad such a great player with great potential has to go out like that. Reminds me of Sterling Sharp and how would he have impacted the Packers if he never had gotten hurt.
The post above was from me weird LOL
Go to Football Outsiders and you can see the #s on the O-line. Look down. They do not improve.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) -- The Manhattan Fire Department is investigating four arson fires that caused more than more than $22,000 worth of damage to several cars and property. Officials say the blazes were intentionally set in the same area and they believe the same suspect or suspects were responsible for the string of fires.
The first fire was reported at the Wildcat Inn Apartments at 2:50 AM Monday, June 4, 2012. The complex is located at the intersection of Denison Avenue and College Heights Road, just steps away from Kansas State University's campus.
Crews responded to an empty apartment where someone had turned the stove on and set something on the range unit where it caught on fire. The occupant of a nearby apartment used an extinguisher to put the fire out. It caused an estimated $300 in damage.
Minutes later, fire crews and police were called to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity house across the street from the Wildcat Inn Apartments for a report of a vehicle fire. Police say some material in the back of a 2001 Ford Ranger pick-up truck had been set on fire. The truck was parked in the fraternity's parking lot and the fire in the bed of the truck had been extinguished before firefighters arrived. It caused minor damage.
Around the same time, firefighters were also called to 1021 Denison Avenue which is the property next door to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity for another report of a vehicle fire. They extinguished a fire that caused $4,000 worth of damage to a 2000 Chevy Cavalier that was parked on the property. The address is the location for ECM, a student group at Kansas State University that encourages students to explore their spiritual beliefs.
At 3:02 AM, crews were then called to a house at 1020 Quivera Circle, the property backs up to the SAE house and ECM location. There, they found a 2010 Nissan Frontier pick-up truck that was parked next to a house engulfed in flames. Firefighters put the fire out. It caused an estimated $18,000 worth of damage.
"A little before 3 o'clock this morning, our crews responded to the first of four of what appears to be incendiary incidents along College Heights Road and Denison Avenue. One was a fire on a stove at an unoccupied apartment and we had three vehicle fires. The damage is estimated at a little over $22,000. One of the vehicles was a total loss. We don't know who was involved at this time but it is under investigation with our fire investigators, Deputy Chief Ryan Almes and the Riley County Police Department," Manhattan Fire Chief Jerry Snyder told 13 News Monday.
Snyder says authorities have no information on a suspect or suspects or a description of anyone seen in the area. He would not comment on what fire investigators believe was used to set the fires.
No injuries were reported.

Signals at the railroad crossing where a train struck and killed a 20-year-old Portland man were working appropriately, according to an investigation of the accident by Michigan State Police.
Michael Cole died when the 2006 Chrysler 300 Sedan he was driving was struck by an east-bound train at a railroad crossing as he traveled northbound on Jordan Lake Road around 8:07 p.m. Aug. 19.
Lt. Brody Boucher from the MSP Lakeview Post said surveillance footage from the site showed that crossing signals were operational 27 seconds prior to the engine crossing the tracks, which is standard. In addition, the train was traveling at the prescribed speed and sounded its warning bell and whistle prior to the crash.
It is not known why Cole continued across the tracks without stopping.

Our 3.5yo daughter was going to one kindy (2 days a week) for a year. She liked it there but we were also on the waitlist to another kindy where her best friend is going to.
A two months ago, the new kindy gave us two days a week and we decided she'll be going to both kindys for some time before we can make a decision, do we switch to a new kindy or does she stay in the old one.
At the moment she goes Wednesday to the old kindy, Thursday to the new one and on Friday to old one again. But we found one pattern which puzzles us and makes it difficult to make a switch or stay decision: on Wednesday our daughter is very excited and wants to go to old kindy, same thing on Thursday when she goes to new kindy. But Friday is always the problem - she does not to go to the new kindy and looks upset and even cries when we drop her off, but she gets OK later during the day when we call to childcare workers to check how she is now.
We tried talking to her why she is so upset on Friday but didn't get much from her. We would think she does not like the new kindy, but why then she is so excited to go there on Wednesday?
If you have some ideas on what might be going on or have experience with switching kindys, would really like to see you answers and comments.

You may remember that I made a lemon pudding cake a while ago that was really tasty but a bit complicated to make. Well, now I return with an equally tasty but far easier recipe. I have been experimenting over the last week or so (working my way through the discount lemons we bought) trying to get the right texture to the cake and right consistency to the pudding. So if you like a sweet but tangy dessert then this is the cake for you.

Hi! Just wanted to tell you how much i love your blog! I just found it yesterday via happy herbivore and spent about an hour this morning reading through all your old posts. What lucky kids you have that they are growing up in such a healthy household!

I made this last evening for our change-of-season celebration dinner. I added blueberries to it. Delicious, but the berries made the pudding a shocking violet almost throughout. I also made it in a cast iron skillet. I just had the skillet in the oven while it was preheating, then added the batter to it.
I've enjoyed your blog for quite some time. Keep up the good work!

I am not sure if there is a proper way to zest a lemon, but I just use the fine part of a cheese grater. Two lemons can be zested in about 1 minute.

I modified this recipe by using 3/4 cup of turbinado sugar or natural cane sugar or sugar in the raw and 1 cup of walnuts.
The turbinado sugar gives a nice slightly crunchy texture. Nuts improve the flavor.
Everybody loved the cake on the vegan potluck.

Deke: The NFC South is one of the best divisions in the NFL
by Deke Bellavia
posted Jul 26 2016 1:19PM
Carolina, Atlanta, New Orleans and Tampa Bay are the four teams that make up the NFC South, when it comes to which NFL division is the best, it's hard to go against those four, and there is proof to back up that statement.
From a success standpoint, and looking at the competitive aspect, the South has been going strong since their division was first formed back in 2002. Carolina leads the way with five NFC South Division Titles, with the Saints, Bucs and Falcons are earning three titles each.
And up until the 2014 season no team had ever repeated as divisional champ. The 2014 Carolina Panthers became the first team in the NFC South to win back to back titles. The Panthers made it three straight South Crowns by going an impressive 15-1 last season.
Going into the 2016 season, just about every national analyst as well as every major pre-season publication has the Carolina Panthers winning the NFC South for a record fourth straight season. The rest of the division is about even.
Last season the Panthers went 5-1 in the NFC South while Atlanta was 1-5 with their lone win against Carolina. New Orleans and Tampa Bay were both 3-3 within the division. I think that the Panthers are the clear cut favorite again this season. After Carolina I think that New Orleans, Tampa and Atlanta are all pretty even.
Did you know?
The NFC South has seen all four teams play in at least one Super Bowl, with New Orleans and Tampa Bay being the only two teams from the division to win one.
The NFC South was formed prior to the 2002 season. The Saints and Falcons came over from the NFC West, and Tampa Bay moved to the South after being in the NFC Central, and Carolina was an expansion team.
The NFC South is the only division in the NFL that has seen all four of its members to the conference title game.
Before the 2014 season the NFC South had never had a repeat divisional champ. But that feat was eclipsed when the Carolina Panthers won the Division in 2013, 2014 and made it three straight with an impressive 15-1 record to capture their third straight South Title.
The NFC South became the second division in five years to have a champion with a losing record, as the Carolina Panthers won the division with a 7–8–1 record.
The Tampa Bay Bucs have played in three different divisions since 1976. In '76 the Bucs went 0-14 as a member of the AFC West. From 1977 through 2001 Tampa was a member of the NFC West. And when the NFC went to four divisions within each conference Tampa moved to the NFC South.

Deke: Steve Korte and Scott Shanle break down Saints needs before camp
by Deke Bellavia
posted Jul 23 2016 5:32PM
As the sands through the hour glass continue to dwindle down, training camp is getting closer and closer. I was able to talk to several analysts and former Saints players the last couple of weeks and ask them what they feel like are key issues facing the Black and Gold.
Scott Shanle, f
ormer Saints linebacker and member of the Super Bowl team, told me that leadership and the ability to find the right 53 players during camp is very important. "Coach always told us the most important thing is to find the right 53 players. I feel like in the years we had the most success, we had the right mix of players," Shanle said.
Scott went on to tell me that winning the Super Bowl is the ultimate goal every season once camp begins. "Sean Payton is a coach that will always have winning the Super Bowl as the team's goal each season. Coach will look to find the right mix of veteran players that are still hungry to win a title. And I know it's all about winning with Sean Payton."
Shanle said he remembers every training camp he was a part of like it was yesterday, and player relationships on and off the field are crucial to building trust and chemistry within the team. "It's important for players to get an idea of how guys are off the field... accountability, developing relationships, feeling that each player never wants to let another player down is something that is built during training camps."
So are the Saints better going into the 2016 season? "I think you automatically see a better defense than we did last year. The front line is better, they have some good linebackers that features good young players and proven veterans. And the defensive backfield looks a lot better. Coach Dennis Allen had the defense playing better at the end of the season and I think that improvement will continue."
Scott says that winning the Super Bowl is always the goal, but also knows the Saints have a long way to go. "I definitely think the Saints will be better, much improved this season. And now is the time to start those improvements."
Steve Korte was a member of the 1980's Saints teams that were some of the best in franchise history. I spoke with Steve mostly about the Saints offensive line. "They need to improve from last season. We ran the ball pretty well. But the offense was on the field too much and had to outscore the opposing team too many times."
Steve likes the make-up of the Saints interior offensive line. "Terron Armstead is a great player. He has improved each season, he's a huge athletic guy who has tremendous strength. And the players that go against Armstead don't have a good shot at beating him."
Steve said that center Max Unger was a huge pick-up for the Saints and that Unger is one of the best in the NFL. Steve thinks the Saints offensive guard play has to improve and second year player Andrus Peat needs to make some big strides in getting better this season.
"The coaches want to make him fit on the front five. He has the physical tools, he's got good feet. I think Peat has to play more angry, and he needs to have more of an attitude on the field. He has a lot of expectations on him being a first round pick two years ago."
When breaking down the Saints rushing offensive, Korte says it all starts with the first game of the season. "As the O-Line goes so does the team. If you can control the line of scrimmage it really opens things up for the entire team. I think the Saints have a good core of running backs. Now the line needs to play with an edge and just focus on improving from week to week throughout the season."

Deke: Six NFL teams that could surprise us in 2016
by Deke Bellavia
posted Jul 22 2016 12:38PM
I've given you all my
Top 10 pre-season poll
of what I think are the top teams in the NFL entering training camp, now it's time to take a peek at a handful of teams that I think are prime to become surprises that could make a run this season.
Buffalo Bills –
Word in upstate NY is that Rex Ryan is in playoffs-or-bust mode. Buffalo was close last season with an 8-8 record and the Bills were 4-2 in the division. Buffalo swept the Dolphins and the Jets and hung tough with the Pats. Adding three more solid defenders with their first three picks in the draft loads up a Bills defense that is already one of the best units in the league.
Baltimore Ravens –
I don't think that a John Harbaugh-coached team will be bad for long. Plus QB Joe Flacco is still among the elite signal callers in the NFL. The Purple Birds do play in the toughest division in the NFL, but I think they will rise up this year and make a run at the post season.
Oakland Raiders –
QB Derrick Carr is improving and may be the best QB among those that have been in the league for a few years. The Raiders defense is nasty and their ability to stretch the field with a few speedy WR's gives the Silver and Black Nation more than hope for this band of Raiders to get back to the post season for the first time since January 2003.
Dallas Cowboys –
Love them or hate them, the Cowboys were not as bad as their record indicated last season. QB Tony Romo is worth a handful of wins by himself and the addition of a very good draft class gives the Cowboys the edge in the NFC East this season.
New Orleans Saints –
A poor defense has kept the Saints from being a playoff team in each of the last two seasons. New Orleans believes they are close to returning among the ranks of the best teams in the NFL. QB Drew Brees on offense is a sure thing. But outside of #9, the Saints have plenty of questions that need to be answered quickly if they are playing in January. Again the first four games of the season will be the signal if this Saints team is going to be one to keep an eye on or not!
Atlanta Falcons -
QB Matt Ryan is very good, and remember - this is a Falcons team that came out smoking with a hot 5-0 start. But the Dirty Birds fell off a cliff, going a horrible 3-8 their last 11 games to wrap up with an 8-8 mark. Atlanta has tools on offense, the addition of Center Alex Mack is huge, and the Falcons defense is closer to being decent than bad!

Deke: Top ten NFL teams, pre-season edition
by Deke Bellavia
posted Jul 21 2016 1:52PM
OK the start of training camp is near, and all 32 teams have the same goal - win the Super Bowl! But as most of us really know, not all 32 teams have the same shot at getting there - you will notice that my list does not feature any teams from the NFC East or AFC South. Hey, it's just my opinion.
Here are my top 10 teams as the NFL opens training camp across the league.
1. Seattle Seahawks –
The most ferocious defense in the league added more defensive power this off-season and QB Russell Wilson is still the best overall QB when it comes to running, passing and making the right decisions.
2. Carolina Panthers –
The Cats from Charlotte are loaded on defense, better on offense, and Cam is maturing and continuing to improve his game. The clear-cut favorite in the NFC South, and I think a serious Super Bowl contender.
3. Pittsburgh Steelers –
The Steelers were oh-so-close last year as they went toe-to-toe with SB champ Denver. The Steelers are now led by their potent offense. And their defense is getting better too!
4. Arizona Cardinals –
Of course this team is not much at all without the services of veteran QB Carson Palmer. But if the Red Birds from the desert can keep their signal caller healthy and their defense continues to be one of the best in the NFL, then I have no doubt this team will still be standing come mid-January 2017.
5. New England Patriots –
Even missing Tom Pretty for the first four weeks does nothing to change my mind that the Pats are the class of the AFC East, and still one of the best in the league overall.
6. Minnesota Vikings –
This team has all the right tools. Vikings are salty on defense, sound on defense and very good on special teams. I like what QB Teddy Bridgewater is doing on offense, and just to be able to hand the ball to AP. Putting a few $$$ on the Vikings to make it to the Super Bowl would be a wise move!
7. Green Bay Packers –
With one of the best QBs in the game today it's hard not to consider the boys from Cheese Head land as a top 10 team. But the Packers need to up their play on defense if they are to make it to the Super Bowl.
8. New York Jets –
Upping the ante to keep DT Wilkerson and adding the most productive RB in the league the last 8 seasons in Matt Forte, these Jets are looking super legit to me. I think this team has everything it needs to be among the elite teams in the NFL this season.
9. Cincinnati Bengals –
Same ole same ole with the Bengals - they're as good as anyone in the regular season, but they've proven that they can't win in January. Is this the year?
10. Kansas City Chiefs & Denver Broncos –
The Chiefs are arguably one of the most complete teams in the NFL. K.C. is led by a solid defense and a good ground game. And QB Alex Smith wins a lot of games. The defending champs are as complete as most teams, but now the question of QB surfaces. But honestly, Peyton did not play all that great last season and still won the Super Bowl!

Deke: 2009 was the gold standard for Saints turnovers
by Deke Bellavia
posted Jun 28 2016 11:56AM
From Gary Gibbs, Gregg Williams, Steve Spagnuolo, Rob Ryan and now Dennis Allen, the five coaches that have been in charge of a Saints defense have all had a common theme - try to create turnovers.
We all know that seasons in which titles are won are hard to duplicate without a title to compare to. And when it comes to Saints history, the 2009 season was historic on many fronts, including forced turnovers and a whopping plus +13 in the turnover department. That year the Saints again had one of the most dangerous offensive units in the league, and New Orleans had a big play defense that produced seven touchdowns.
During the 2015 season, the Saints ability to create turnovers was not nearly as bad as the way the defense played overall. New Orleans forced 22 turnovers with nine coming by way of interception and another 13 in forced fumbles. The Saints finished on the plus side in the turnover ratio for just the third time in the last seven seasons.
To give you an idea of how special the 2009 season was, the best the Saints have finished in the turnover ratio since that special year is plus +2. In 2009 the Saints were an amazing +11.
The takeaways fall on the defense and special teams, but the overall turnover ratio is a team stat. Meaning that the number of turnovers created can be amplified by the limited amount the offense turnovers over the football. And the offense's ability to protect the football is crucial!
In 2009 the Saints had a record of 39 forced takeaways and being plus +11 is real good, but the Saints also turned the ball over 28 times!
And I can tell you that one of the many things that the 2009 team did well was create turnovers at practice. From the first day of OTAs when then new Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams was here, the Saints defense created and cashed in on turnovers.
The Saints only forced 19 takeaways in 2013, but the offense also did a pretty good job securing the football with only 19 turnovers to finish 2013 even.
What I am saying to you just like in any phase of work, you just can't show up and expect things to happen without working on something and preparing properly.
I believe that all Saints teams have worked on creating turnovers and prepared as best as they could. But the 2009 team did it from the first day, and causing turnovers was something that without question help lead the Saints to their first Super Bowl win.
Below is a look back at the last seven seasons and how the Saints fared in the turnover department. I have listed the interceptions and fumbles caused first followed by the total number of turnovers created. The last two numbers are how the Saints finished in the turnover ratio and where the Black and Gold ranked in the league in the overall turnover ratio.
9 Interceptions / Fumbles 13
22 total (+2) 15th
12 Interceptions / Fumbles 5 = 17 total (-13) 31st
12 Interceptions / Fumbles 7 = 19 total
15 Interceptions / Fumbles 11 = 26 total (+2) 15th
9 Interceptions / Fumbles 16 = 25 total
9 Interceptions / Fumbles 7 = 16 total
26 Interceptions / Fumbles 13 = 39 total (+11) 3rd

Big Chief's Super 6 College Football Poll
by Deke Bellavia
posted Jun 27 2016 10:20AM
Football season is never over. As I look back at my notes from last season, thumb through several pre-season publications and surf the net, I've come up with what I think are the best six teams to start the season. So here's what I think as the final month of the year without football arrives!
1. Alabama Crimson Tide -
OK they lost a lot, but don't they always? You know this is the safest bet over the last 8 years when it comes to predicting who will be on top when it is all said and done. History has consistently proven that the boys from T-town will be among the nation's elite. A first week showdown with another possible top 10 team in the USC Trojans will only make the Tide better as the season progresses.
2. Oklahoma Sooners -
The Sooners made one solid run last season but were unable to make their way to the final game. With signal caller Baker Mayfield back under center and a schedule that sets up favorably on the back end, we could very well see the Sooners back in the Final Four. However, the first five games that feature the season opener against Houston, Ohio State, TCU and Texas make the early stretch the most difficult.
3. LSU Tigers -
Yes, I know they have to get better play at QB. But when you look at their 18 starters returning, a much deeper defense, solid skill players and of course the freight train that dons jersey #7, LSU looks pretty dam salty. Of course this is before the first snap of the season. But the schedule has Ole Miss and Alabama in Tiger Stadium, and a first week test against Wisconsin will greatly benefit LSU in the long run.
4. Ohio State Buckeyes -
Like the Crimson Tide, the Buckeyes did lose some star power. But remember elite football teams have excellent programs in place and Ohio State is up there with the best of them. And I don't know about you, but to me CFB is so much better when the Buckeyes and the Wolverines are relevant. Save the date September 17 as the Buckeyes go to Norman to battle the Sooners. And the last two weeks feature the Michigans, and rival UM will make or break Urban Meyer's shot at a second national title in Columbus.
5. Stanford Cardinal -
The most consistent program from the far West finished up strong last season, and they welcome back the nation's most versatile player in Christian McCaffrey; makes the Cardinal as much of a contender as any team West of the SEC. Weeks two through six are vital to the success of the season with monster games against USC, at UCLA, at Washington, home against Washington State and then a long trip to battle rival Notre Dame. Win all of those and then we will see this team in the four team playoff!
6. Clemson Tigers -
The Tigers bring back QB Deshaun Watson and he has two of America's most skilled players to aid him in WR Mike Williams and RB Wayne Gallman. Toss in fellow WR Artavis Scott and the Tigers should not miss a beat on offense. But what seemingly most of the nation does not understand is that the Tigers defensive play the last few seasons has seen them rise to an elite level. Losing several key figures to the NFL will hurt. But if the Tigers find themselves in a few high scoring affairs they will run with the best of them and come out on top!

Deke: Deuce McAllister will make all of us better!
by Deke Bellavia
posted Jun 16 2016 12:11PM
Ah Deuce McAllister, where do I start? Better yet, how can I stop - talking about the explosive plays Deuce made, how his presence on the field made the Black & Gold a much better team, or his record-setting accomplishment as the all-time leading rusher in Saints history. Everything he does speaks volumes – not only about the player, but the man.
They say first impressions are everlasting, the impact of my first real up-close experience with #26 is one I'll never forget nor underestimate. One of my first shows on WWL took place at a car dealership on the North Shore. Deuce was a guest player, who came out to sign autographs.
READ MORE: Deuce McAllister joins WWL team
Immediately I was impressed with Deuce's kindness and friendly attitude. He was so approachable, genuinely on a mission to make sure everyone in attendance - fans and workers – all felt special...all had personal contact...they all got autographs. His compassion, thoughtfulness, his character speaks volumes. But what took place later that day was amazing.
The show ended at 4pm. All fans had left the dealership and all of us, the WWL broadcast crew, were getting in our cars set to go home. Deuce was driving a Hummer at the time. As Deuce pulled out, a car full of kids pulled into the dealership parking lot.
Deuce had left and was heading towards the Causeway to drive back to New Orleans. A lady waived me down and asked if Deuce was there. I sadly had to tell her that the show was over and Deuce had just left.
Obvious disappointment was on the lady's face; the kids in the car were crushed; they came to get Deuce's autograph. I got back in my car and began to pull out to head home. In the left corner of my eye I could see a hummer coming back towards the dealership.
Deuce must've seen the car pull in as he left. Deuce turned around on the highway and came back to the dealership, then he sat there and visited with each kid and gave everyone a signed autograph.
Deuce McAllister joins WWL team
To me that was incredible. Deuce McAllister is a celebrated NFL player, a Saints fan favorite, someone who will go down in as one of the best to ever wear the Black & Gold. He's a respected leader in the community, someone that many would love to be. But what I know from that experience, Deuce McAllister is someone all of us should try and be like.
Like the man he takes over for (Hokie Gajan) Deuce McAllister is a person, who makes the world a better place. Greatness is something Deuce has achieved in all phases of his life. And I know Deuce will become a great broadcaster.
Deuce McAllister will quickly become one of the best color analysts in all of pro sports. And his legendary status and level of respect he's earned over the years will only get stronger.

Deke: Defense came up big, got the edge at Saints mini camp
by Deke Bellavia
posted Jun 15 2016 10:46PM
It has been the theme for quite some time, but the end results haven't been what the team wants. Turnovers, and being able to force them, are something the New Orleans Saints have made a strong emphasis on the last few off seasons, and today, the Saints had their best glimmer of hope, as the Black and Gold Defense swarmed to the ball at day two of mini-camp.
"Of the five practices I've seen so far, today was the best by the defense. I thought the defense came up big in team drills and they had the edge at today's practice," said Bobby Hebert.
Linebackers Nate Stupar and Dillon Lee both came up with interceptions, with Stupar picking off Saints QB Drew Brees on the last play of
Several defenders turned the head of the Cajun Cannon. Bobby liked the play of CB PJ Williams, DL Bobby Richardson and LB Davis Tull in particular; Tull had two sacks today. Bobby was also impressed by rookie DL David Onyemata. "He got into the backfield and nearly took the handoff himself - that was a nice play by the rookie!"
In the first team session, veteran LB James Laurinaitis would have recorded a sack against Drew Brees. And Safety Kenny Vaccaro made a nice play on the ball, causing a pass break up with the first team defense.
Roll Tide Roll! During another portion of team drills at today's practice, any Alabama fan would have been all smiles. On back to back plays, former Crimson Tide defenders D.J. Pettway and Dillon Lee came up big like they were back in Bryant Deny Stadium in T-Town. Pettway sacked QB Garrett Grayson, and then the very next play, Dillon Lee picked off a pass off of a tipped ball.
During the last team drill, the Saints put the emphasis on first down situations. "To me, the defense won every phase every phase of today's practice. The defense did well in the first team session, then looked good in the short yardage work and then they closed out the practice hard," observed Bobby.
The offense did not go without making some plays. Drew Brees hit WR Brandon Coleman and connected with Willie Snead and RB Mark Ingram for big gainers in the latter part of practice.
RB Daniel Lasco hauled in a pass and turned on the jets for a nice pick up, and WR #14 R.J. Harris hauled in a nice long catch on the far side of the field.
Up next for the Saints is their final day of mini camp. Keep it right here on WWL.com for the latest on the Black and Gold.

Bobby: Saints very competitive at practice today
by Deke Bellavia
posted Jun 14 2016 5:13PM
The New Orleans Saints began their three day mini-camp today with a two hour and twenty minute practice that started on the outdoor fields, but heavy rain forced the team inside of the indoor facility.
The Saints worked on several phases of their game and ended ther practice with end-of-game situations. Saints Coach Sean Payton called out several scenarios that he wanted to see how his defense responded. "We're up by six and there is three seconds left. You know what that means? Endzone! They're going to throw to the endzone."
PHOTO GALLERY: Saints Mini camp Day One
Bobby Hebert said that he thought today was very competitive and he thinks that the offense and defense kind of played to a draw. "The last OTA the offense had the upper hand. But today I think things were even."
His notes were somewhat damp due to heavy rains, but that did not keep the Cajun Cannon from breaking down today's practice. "I thought today was about even, comparing offense to defense. I think both the offense and defense had their moments but I'd say it was even."
QB Drew Brees connected with TE Josh Hill for a big gain. "Hill got open up field on a nice seam route and Drew placed the ball right on the money." Brees also had a nice toss to veteran WR Vincent Brown for a nice over the middle catch. And Brees would later throw a TD pass to rookie Wide Receiver Michael Thomas. Saints Running Back Mark Ingram made a nice over the shoulder grab and Brees would hook up with fellow RB Tim Hightower on a few connections.
Over on the defensive side of the football the Saints got big play from LB Craig Robertson. "He has made some plays for the defense so far. He's good in coverage and he does a nice job of being in the right place at the right time." Bobby also gave kudos to veteran LB James Laurinaitis as the backer made a nice pass break-up in red zone work.
Defensive Back P.J. Williams had a shot at two picks today but could come up with nothing. Williams hauled in an interception early in practice but could not stay in bounds. And later Williams dropped a interception. "We have had several chances at OTA's and now at the first day of mini-camp to make an intercetpion... those missed chances could be the difference in a win or a loss!"
Other notes - who's in #12? No, Marques Colston has not returned, but Veteran WR Robert Meachem was on the field on a tryout basis according to Sean Payton and Meachem wore jersey #12. And Veteran Safety Jairus Byrd was riding the bike on the side of the field.
The Saints get back to work tomorrow with an 11AM practice for day two of mini-camp.

Bobby: Three things to watch for at Saints mini-camp this week
by Deke Bellavia
posted Jun 13 2016 11:28PM
OK, we get it! There are no full gear practices, there isn't supposed to be any contact, and for some, mini-camp is just not what is used to be. With that said, it's the biggest event of each team's off season. The Saints' three-day mini-camp is this week at the club's facility on Airline Drive.
So who needs to put some pep in their step? Who needs to tighten up? Can anyone really stand out in such a short amount of time?
I called on our Resident Pro Bobby Hebert to give his take - here are the Cajun One's top three things to look for.
1. Practicing in Front of the Who Dat Nation
– Playing in front of fans does make a difference. "Look I know it's only a couple of thousand people, but no player wants to look bad. How the players look with other eyes watching add some excitement to each practice?" said Hebert. The Who Dat Nation loves to see good play, and having the fans at each of the three practices does give things more of a on-the-line feel.
2. Who Gets in the Zone
Bobby wants to see which unit comes out on top w
hen the Saints work on Red Zone offense and defense. "The Saints had one of the worst Red Zone defensive units in the league last season, and we know how consistent the Saints offense has been. Confidence can be gained at each practice, and neither the offense nor the defense likes to come up on the losing end of the Red Zone battles.
3. To Be or not to Be – Accurate!
Bobby says he wants to see accuracy from all three of the Saints quarterbacks, f
rom the top of the depth chart to third string.
"We know Drew Brees is a Hall of Fame QB, but we still want to see all of the quarterbacks throw the ball with accuracy." Bobby also said he wants to see the progress of second year player Garrett Grayson, who he thinks should be better this season. "A year ago, it was a lot of things thrown at Grayson in a hurry. Now he's had a year to learn the system and get comfortable with what Coach Payton wants him to do. I want to see if Grayson is closer to pushing Luke McCown for the #2 QB spot."
Chief concerns? For me it's simple - is the Saints defense better. And when I say better, I mean better right now. Folks let's face it - if the Saints defense is not even at the very least a little bit better right now then we're in trouble.
I think we began to see strides of improvement from the Saints defense the final three weeks of the 2015 regular season. I don't think we need to see the '85 Bears this week, but signs of improvement can be in the form of lining up correctly, how well the team looks in down and distance situations, and most importantly - does the defense finally have the turnover-creating style that the Who Dat Nation has been promised for... oh, let's say, about half a dozen years now?
I'd keep an eye on the wide receivers to get a feel about who could shake out as the main guy this season. TE Ben Watson and WR Willie Snead were the top guys in 2015, so with Watson gone does that automatically mean that TE Coby Fleener is filling that void? Will Brandin Cooks up his numbers this season? Will Brandon Coleman do better? And which newcomer at the position can be this year's surprise?
And of course can the Saints 'buffalo' their way to better production from two former Bills - Byrd and Spiller, that's all I have to say. Can the Saints get SOME bang for their BIG bucks out of these two? I'm not giving up on either. But the sands through the hour glass are getting smaller and smaller!
So there you go Who Dats - a few things for you to look for in the Saints three day mini-camp. And for complete coverage and the latest on the Black and Gold stay logged on to WWL.com!

Stocks Finish Lower as Shutdown Continues
Treasurys, Gold Rise as Impasse Enters Second Week
With no end in sight to the stalemate in Washington, global stock markets slid and investors sought out the safer havens of gold and some government bonds.
Traders stressed that conditions across financial markets remained calm, and many investors said they were hopeful that the deadlock in Congress, which has led to the first partial federal government shutdown in 17 years, would end in time to avoid the Treasury Department failing to make payments on U.S. government debt.
But the uncertainty over how the political battle will play out was enough to send U.S. stocks to their 10th decline in the past 13 sessions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 136.34 points, or 0.9%, to 14936.24, its lowest level in a month. The blue-chip index stands 4.7% below its record reached Sept. 18.
Markets in Europe and Asia also declined. The Stoxx Europe 600 fell 0.2% to close at its lowest level in a month amid the U.S. debt worries. Japan's Nikkei Stock Average shed 1.2% after falling 5% last week.
While investors expressed annoyance with the political brinkmanship, the main concern was the possibility that the U.S. will hit the federal debt ceiling and default.
"The odds of a default are very small, but the consequences wouldn't be pretty," said Bob Baur, chief global economist at Principal Global Investors, which manages $289.1 billion. Mr. Baur said he hasn't been making defensive moves and instead has been taking advantage of the market's recent weakness to buy stocks that will perform well in a strengthening economy.
But for the most part, investors expect the situation will be resolved without a default. "In spite of all the talk, they will come to an agreement and move on," said Margie Patel, senior portfolio manager with Wells Capital Management who manages $1.5 billion. "I'm not especially worried about it. People would like to see a bigger [pullback] so they can buy."
The S&P 500-stock index shed 14.38 points, or 0.9%, to 1676.12, its lowest close since Sept. 9. The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 37.38 points, or 1%, to 3770.38. Gold prices rose 1.2%, to settle at $1,324.80 a troy ounce.
Stocks opened sharply lower Monday on the heels of losses in overseas markets and a weekend that showed no apparent progress on the budget fight. Stock stabilized but turned back toward the lows of the day late in the session.
Activity was muted, as many investors have been holding back from making big portfolio changes, traders said. Total composite trading volume was the lowest since the Friday before the Labor Day holiday weekend and the ninth lowest full day this year.
"We're not getting massive panic selling," said Jonathan Corpina, senior managing partner with brokerage firm Meridian Equity Partners. "Investors are just waiting for opportunities."
In the bond market, however, there were more signs of nervousness about a default. The Treasury has pegged Oct. 17 as the date after which the government will be unable to borrow any new debt. By Oct. 31, the government could deplete all its available funds and face the risk of a technical default on bills or bonds that are due around the end of the month, according to J.P. Morgan Securities.
Yields on bills maturing in late October and early November surged last week, as some investors sold holdings out of worries of a Treasury default. The price of one-month bills maturing on Oct. 31 fell again Monday, with yields rising as high as 0.165%. In contrast, the yield on the three-month bill closed at 0.025%. Typically, Treasury bills with longer maturities have higher yields than shorter-dated securities.
But prices on longer-dated Treasury notes, seen as a haven in times of volatility despite the debt-ceiling concerns, rose. The 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 2.634% from 2.650% on Friday, as bond yields move inversely to prices.
"Even those who are seriously concerned about default think that any nonpayment by the Treasury will be short-lived," said Guy LeBas, chief fixed-income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia.
Meanwhile, the dollar lost ground against the yen and Swiss franc, as demand rose for currencies seen as a haven.
In corporate news, BlackBerry rose 28 cents, or 3.6%, to $7.97, after reports surfaced that several technology companies are looking at the smartphone maker for a potential takeover.

Men of Iron is an 1891 novel by the American author Howard Pyle, who also illustrated it. It is juvenile coming of age work in which the author has the reader experience the medieval entry into knighthood through the eyes of a young squire, Myles Falworth. In Chapter 24 the knighthood ceremony is presented and described as it would be in a non-fiction work on knighthood and chivalry. Descriptions of training equipment are also given throughout. It comprises 68,334… (more)

I just got my new Whey/Caseine/Egg protein supplement which also contains 5000 mg Taurine per 100gram.
I am planning to take this supplement on a daily basis (as breakfast with some milk and cereals)
I know energy drinks contains lower volumes (like 1000-2000mg). Is Taurine any bad for your health? I can only find positive features ;) (like it's good for your heart, eyes, skin, muscles, etc)

I have a form with three main components:
- A FlowPanel that is set to Align to Client
- A second FlowPanel set to Align to Bottom
- A StatusBar set to Align to Bottom.
Everything starts out looking great. But the FlowPanel that is aligned to the bottom is also set to AutoSize. It contains a panel that can collapse itself. The internal panel contains summary information that the user can decide to hide. This drops the size of the FlowPanel to a very small size but not completely gone. There is still a button where the user can re-expand the summary panel.
The problem comes when the panel is re-expanded causing the FlowPanel to grow. At that time the order of the Status Bar and the FlowPanel is reversed. They are both still set to align bottom but now the status bar is above my FlowPanel.
I can duplicate this in a test app without the Collapsing panel just by putting button on the form to see the bottom flow panel's height. If the height is increased the order changes. If it is decreased then everything stays in the same order. The only code in my test form is:
FlowPanel2.Height := FlowPanel2.Height * 2;
I also tested this with the bottom panel being a regular TPanel instead of a FlowPanel with the same results.
Any ideas on why this is happening and how to prevent it?

Alan B. Krueger
Alan B. Krueger was confirmed by the United States Senate in November 2011 as the chairman of President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers. The council generally provides presidents with research to justify or counter economic proposals.
The choice of Mr. Krueger more broadly reflected Mr. Obama's desire to strike a balance between job creation and deficit reduction. Mr. Krueger, who first joined the administration during the recession, helped design early stimulus proposals, including the "cash for clunkers" rebate for new-car purchasers, the Build America Bonds program to finance infrastructure projects and a credit fund for small businesses.
Mr. Krueger was an assistant secretary and chief economist at the Treasury Department for 17 months, before he returned to teaching at Princeton University in 2010. He succeeded Austan Goolsbee who left the White House to return to the University of Chicago.
Mr. Krueger has an eclectic set of interests, as indicated by not only his academic research but also the posts he wrote for Economix from 2008 to 2009. For example, he has written about rock concerts, happiness, health care, the value of a college education and terrorism. While he was chief economist at the Treasury Department from 2009 to 2010, he worked on more macro issues related to areas like tax policy and public debt. But he is most closely associated with his work on the job market.
Mr. Krueger is the founding director of the Princeton University Survey Research Center and a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research and of the Institute for the Study of Labor.
He received a B.S. degree from Cornell University's School of Industrial & Labor Relations, an A.M. in economics from Harvard University in 1985 and a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University in 1987.
He also contributed to the Economic Scene column of The New York Times from 2000 to 2006.

I really wonder what's the difference between one way signal and one way Path signal. I know they're not the same but my trains work with both of them. Also, building one way signal is slightly harder than building the path one.
One-way signals reserve a signal block between it and the next signal.
One-way path signals reserve an individual path between it and the next signal. This allows 2 trains to be on the same signal block at the same time, so long as they have paths that don't cross.
From the wiki:
For straight track and basic merges/splits, I stick to normal one-way signals. I use path signals for forks that have 4 or more tracks, as this is where they start to benefit.
Path signals also can behave similar to entry/exit signals, although entry/exit signals have uses that path can't fully achieve. For instance, entry/exit signals will cause trains to take longer routes if a path is blocked, while path signals may wait. This can be used to construct balancers and other helpful constructs.

The Tannakian formalism says you can recover a complex algebraic group from its category of finite dimensional representations, the tensor structure, and the forgetful functor to Vect. Intuitively, why should this be enough information to recover the group? And does this work for other base fields (or rings?)?
A very nice and very general version of Tannakian formalism is in Jacob Lurie's paper, Tannaka duality for geometric stacks, arXiv:math/0412266.
I like to think of Tannaka duality as recovering a scheme or stack from its category of coherent (or quasicoherent) sheaves, considered as a tensor category. From this POV the intuition is quite clear: having a faithful fiber functor to Vect (or more generally to R-modules) means your stack is covered (in the flat sense) by a point (or by Spec R). This is why you get (if you're over an alg closed field) that having a faithful fiber functor to Vect_k means you're sheaves on the quotient BG of a point by some group G, i.e. Rep G.. Over a more general base, you only locally look like a quotient of Spec R (or Spec k for k non-alg closed) by a group ---- ie you're a BG-bundle over Spec R, aka a G-gerbe. Even more generally, the kind of Tannakian theorem Jacob explains basically says that any stack with affine diagonal can be recovered from its tensor category of quasicoherent sheaves..
Actually the construction of the stack from the tensor category is just a version of the usual functor Spec from rings to schemes. Recall that as a functor, Spec R (k) = homomorphisms from R to k. So given a tensor category C let's define Spec C as the stack with functor of points Spec C(k) = tensor functors from C to k-modules (for any ring k, or algebra over the ground field etc). The Tannakian theorems then say for X reasonable (ie a quasicompact stack with affine diagonal), we have X= Spec Quasicoh(X) --- so X is "affine in a quasicoherent-sheaf sense". Again, the usual Tannakian story is the case X=BG or more generally a G-gerbe.
This doesn't answer your question directly, but I think does explain why such theorems exist: if your notion of "representations" of some algebraic gadget are insufficient to reconstruct the gadget from the 'collection' of representations, then you better go think up better "representations"! I mean this rather loosely, so for example I'm claiming that thinking about representations of complex algebraic groups without also thinking about how they tensor would be lame.
This for example is why the "representation theory of a subfactor
The forgetful functor to Vect I don't think of as so essential -- it lets you construct the original gadget in the category you expect, but if you don't have this function it shouldn't prevent you from believing that there's a "gaget object" in some other category.
I'm not sure how to answer the question about intuition. In regards to your second question, the Tannakian formalism works over any field and in fact works for more general categories than Rep(G). A category C is called a neutral Tannakian category over k (k a field) if it is a rigid abelian tensor category together with a k-linear tensor exact functor from C to k-Vect. This latter functor is known as the fiber functor (and is just the forgetful functor referenced in the original post when C = Rep(G)). In this case, there's a theorem that says any neutral Tannakian category is equivalent to the category of representations of an affine group scheme G, where G is given by the tensor automorphisms of the fiber functor.
One of the original references for this is a 1982 paper by Deligne and Milne titled 'Tannkian Categories.' Deligne also has an article in the more recent FGA explained.
My understanding is that sometimes k can even be replaced by an arbitrary commutative ring. I don't know general conditions under which this holds. However, a great example of the Tannakian formalism in action where k is a general commutative ring is the Mirkovic-Vilonen paper on the geometric Satake correspondence, which they prove in great generality (Ginzburg also has a nice paper on this topic, but only in characteristic zero). The Mirkovic-Vilonen paper can be found here http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0401222
In this paper, they prove that their fiber functor is represented by a k-module which is free over k (k any commutative ring here) and hence the Tannakian formalism still works. I don't know if this condition is also a necessary condition.
There's also a version of the Tannakian formalism over a scheme, so to speak. If we view a group G as a principal G-bundle on a point and the category of vector spaces as the category of vector bundles on a point, then we can try to generalize to a scheme. Namely, if we fix a G-bundle on a scheme X, then this induces an exact tensor functor from Rep(G) to the category of vector bundles on X using the associated bundle construction. It turns out that the converse holds: given an exact tensor functor from Rep(G) to vector bundles on X, this is equivalent to giving a G-bundle on X. There's a proof of this fact in a set of notes on the webpage for the seminar that Dennis Gaitsgory is currently running.
Some time ago I was also puzzled by this same question, and only now, after seeing yours, I start to think maybe I understand the idea. These are my own thoughts though, so you're encouraged to re-check them.
Consider for simplicity an affine algebraic group (on the opposite side would be a complex compact one). Then we know that the regular representation
Now what does knowing all the whole tensor category of representation imply? This means we can reconstruct the space
E.g. for a linear group G there is some representation
By the correspondence between functions and spaces, this would allow us to reconstruct the original space of group
So, I think if on this road one tries to define what the point of
I wonder if somebody could give a reference to a text explaining this point of view?

WESTBOROUGH, Mass. — After months of speculation, BJ's Wholesale Club early Thursday morning confirmed the company has decided to explore and evaluate strategic alternatives. Coupled with that announcement was a positive sales story for the year.
BJ's stock was up by more than $5 to $48.66 in early morning trading on Thursday. Over the last year, the company's shares have risen about 30%, fueled in part by takeover speculation. Rumors that BJ's may be a takeover target have circulated since the summer, when Leonard Green & Partners bought a 9.5% stake.
An independent committee of BJ's has engaged Morgan Stanley as its financial adviser to assist in this process.
BJ's also reported positive January sales results despite the number of cold-weather storms that recently have swept the country. Sales were up 6.5% to $779.8 million. Comparable sales also were up 2.7%, including a contribution from sales of gasoline of 2.4%.
Excluding the impact of gasoline, merchandise comparable-club sales increased by approximately 0.3%. Severe snow storms affecting the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions had a negative impact on merchandise comparable club sales of approximately 2.5%, the club retailer estimated.
BJ's competitor Costco Wholesale reported net sales of $6.30 billion for the month of January, the four weeks ended Jan. 30, an increase of 12% from $5.62 billion during the similar period last year. Total U.S. same-store sales for the month were up 6%. Excluding fuel, U.S. comps rose 4%.

In my app delegate I am pushing the user to a view controller if the user details are saved
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
// cached user
PFUser *currentUser = [PFUser currentUser];
if (currentUser)
NSLog(@"current user signing and looking for VC %@", currentUser);
// A user was cached, so skip straight to the main view
UINavigationController *navigationController = (UINavigationController *)self.window.rootViewController;
TaskSelectionViewController*viewController = [[TaskSelectionViewController alloc] initWithUser:currentUser];
[navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
NSLog(@"VC found");
} else {
NSLog(@"VC not found");
-(id)initWithUser:(PFUser *)currentUser
NSLog(@"current user %@", currentUser);
NSLog(@"task Selection initwithuser");
return self;
The push is working but all I get is the NavigationController bar at the top and a black Screen.
what is missing ??
