    He's a class act.

    And frankly, he did the organization a favor. His cap number was ginormous.

    Finally, the Packers can stop drafting tall CBs.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    How about a tall yet stout and quick ILB instead?

    Great, great player. Good for him going out on his terms with some semblance of health.

    Good bye to the guy who made it impossible to determine what is a catch anymore.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    An absolute beast physically. All timer. The epitome of a guy you could just throw a jumpball for and watch him outplay the dbs in the air. Calvin you sure there is no chance we can rent you for a year?

    He is not going to retire. He will be in Green and Gold next year.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    Well we do drink from our well water after filtering it. My wife doesn't trust it though.

    And yes I'm well.
