Around SBN: SB Nation NFL Power Rankings for Week 11

I think I've linked this before, but now that Junior is a free agent, I think it's finally time to tap into the turn-of-the-century wisdom of the sage D. Orlando Ledbetter.

Ha!

For a second there, I thought you were endorsing the idea. I think better of you than that, baumann!

Also, cheese.

Wow.

Did he really use the Bucks and George Karl as an example that should be followed?

I have an unreasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

If only the Brewers would have listened to him...

… it took them soooo long to figure out that the secret to winning was bringing in some “top shelf major league pitching talent.” All those years wasted throwing cheap junkballers out there by choice when they could have had the “top shelf” guys if they just would have listened to Ledbetter. Who knew?

I have an unreasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

BTW....

Michale Hunt makes Ledbetter look like a genius.

I like how Jenkins and Burnitz were the untouchables.

I think at that point in his career, I would have traded them both for Griffey.

Eric Gagne DL time: May 23-June 29 Brewers record in that span: 20-9
