The Wisconsin Sportscast

Ed Policy Named the New Packers President and Mark Murphy’s Legacy


Listen Later

In this week's episode of The Wisconsin Sportscast, the Green Bay Packers have a new President: Ed Policy. Lucas doesn’t know too much about him, and Oates knows him more from his old man Carmen Policy. What we do know: Ed Policy is a legal guy and has been with the Packers for over a decade.

 

Now with Mark Murphy out, and not knowing a whole lot about Policy, that means we have one question: What will be the legacy of Mark Murphy? While the Packers haven’t been a “mom-and-pop” operation for a while, he helped turn them into a mega-corporation, says Oates. Just look at Titletown. Teams make money from more than just football these days, for better or worse.

 

But on the field, Oates says that his changes to the management style had a negative impact on the team. “Historically in Green Bay, when football has been left to football people, the team has done really well,” Oates says. Murphy? Not a football guy. What does that mean for Policy, another legal guy? Only the future can tell us that.

 

Then, the Florida Panthers beat out the Oilers to win the Stanley Cup. A seven game series that’s frantic and fun? What more can you ask for? But Lucas wants to know: what happened to MVP’s coming from the winning team? Doesn’t matter, says Oates, even if he wanted to see the Canadians win the cup.

 

Willie Mays has passed away, as another one of sports greats has left us. But Lucas and Oates agree, at least they got to watch him play. Some people will try and argue that others are better, but those arguments come from people who never even saw them play, says Oates.
