    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Samwise still has his ephemeral youth. If he wants to play and can still play, let him play. Sheilds might have to face the music when his youth withers, as most of us do, but life's a short trip anyway. As Napoléon Bonaparte once said, "In my bygone youth, I fought gloriously, fucked greedily and lived humbly."

    While Shields was never a shutdown corner, he was a pretty damn good corner for an undrafted free agent. He's probably still better than any of the hocus-pocus corners currently on the Packers' roster. I, for one, would love to see Shields back in the Green and Gold.

    Just remember, Napolean also thought Borodino was the death blow to the Russkies, and didn't employ the imperial guard for a decisive victory. Belichick would have.

    Shields will no doubt be able to play when he's 44. Just like TO.

    lol

    My point was, if Shields still enjoys ballin', and he loves the frogskins and fame and perks associated with being an NFL playa, he should return while he still has kung fu.

    Damn, why the hell am I repeating things? Pretty sure I never had a concussion during my shutdown corner days.

    Remember, it's not the concussions but the repeated micro traumas that do the real lasting damage

    Don't want to worry about those either. Let him get those in his everyday life, like when I think I got one when rear ended on the highway.

    Did you guys read the interview? He says if he comes back and gets even one more concussion, he's done. So say he comes back and is solid for awhile. Then his egg head gets jarred a bit and he gets concussed. I don't want to see a secondary built on a paper foundation.

    That's what he says now. But if he comes back and gets one more, he will miss the rest of the season and then probably decide to come back and give it one more shot. It's just one more.

    Considering that Lane Taylor stepped in and played quite well, I'd say exactly the right time.

    Bring black Sitton!

    Seriously. The packers might have an opening at rg with the old guy from last season thinking about retirement (can’t even recall his name). Sitton played rg initially before switching to lg.

    Between this and Cushing, maybe you are actually the reincarnated George Allen.

    Your assembled collection of former Pro Bowlers would easily be available for almost half their games.

    It's not like Sitton (and Cushing, for that matter) is over the hill. It's better a proven player like Sitton is protecting A-Rod than nobodies like McGray or Patrick.

    You better be concerned with Patrick and McCray at Guard if you hire Sitton because both will play a lot when Sitton sits out for his back, knee and foot problems.

    Its a young man's game Tank.

    Sitton only missed 3 games a piece in each of the past two seasons. By comparison, Bak missed 4 games last season. Bulaga, something like a million. I wouldn't call Sitton "injury-prone."

    Sure, it's a young man's game. But nothing can be substituted for experience, as they like the say. In the Super Bowl, in the clutch, the game on the line, I'd rather have Sitton in there protecting A-Rod than McCray.
