Contract With America

[HarveyWallbangers]

* I will be giving my unconditional support to the Green Bay Packers for the 2008 season.

* I will do my best to refrain from taking unnecessary shots at Brett Favre.

* I will do my best to refrain from taking unnecessary shots at Ted Thompson, and by extension, Aaron Rodgers.

* I will do my best to avoid getting dragged into confrontations that have to do with Brett Favre, Ted Thompson, and/or Aaron Rodgers.

* I will not expect any other Packer fan to root for or against Brett Favre and the New York Jets, that is their choice and has nothing to do with me.

* I will be giving my unconditional hate to the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'll be the first to sign.

Count me in. I promise that all my shots at Favre, Thompson, and Rodgers will be absolutely necessary.

[oregonpackfan]

I support everything but the "may or may not root for Brett Favre and the Jets this Year."

I will not root for Brett Favre or the Jets. That does not mean I wish Brett or the Jets losses or bad things to happen to them. It just means they were a neutral team for me and they will remain a neutral team for me despite the fact that their starting QB is Brett Favre.

It's optional, so you are good.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I find it necessary to point out that TT is a fag, so I can't take the pledge.

Ballhawk makes like John Hancock and signs.

[Joemailman]

The Mailman is in.

[packinpatland]

PIP is in......... if you include Detroit Lions in with the Bears and Vikings.

[hoosier]

I hate consensus. Consider me a dissident.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

How sad that Harv has to basically post what should be expected of any good, normal fan of the pack.

Do we have to say which side of the "will or will not root for the Jets" statement we land?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Do we have to say which side of the "will or will not root for the Jets" statement we land?

Nope. Actually, part of the agreement is to try to keep that to yourself--as that would only foster bad blood between the warring factions.

Ah, then it might be useful to include language in the initial statement as to "I will not expect any other Packer fan to root for or against Brett Favre and the New York Jets, that is their choice and has nothing to do with me."

[HarveyWallbangers]

Changed.

[digitaldean]

I, being of sound mind :lol: , do hereby agree to the aforementioned resolution.

I'm in. I'm not one to cast aspersions anyway. I know next to nothing compared with Thompson and staff, and besides, he doesn't really care if we disagree on moves anyway. Go Rodgers and Pack...have a great season!

[AtlPackFan]

Hallelujah. A voice of reason. Great Thread Harv!!!!

AtlPackFan. I'm in!

[vince]

Healthy debate is OK, no? Pot shots and personal attacks are not...

If so, I'm in.

[dabootski]

signed.

[Merlin]

I'm in.

I would like to offer the following amendment:

- I will do my best to refrain from taking unnecessary shots at other Packer Fans for their opinions and comments.

Merlin

[SkinBasket]

The Skinbasket hereby pledges to yank his crank at any and all given and/or taken opportunities. Even those opportunities where Ted Thompson, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, or any combination of the three may be present and/oor in the next room.

[mmmdk]

Contract with America? What country are we invading now? :lol:

Ok, not funny for McCain followers I guess.

I'm in.

[Badgerinmaine]

I can sign all of it but the last one. I may intensely dislike the Bears (okay, I certainly do), but I was raised both to be a Packers fan and not to hate anyone's sports team. I still am and still don't, respectively. The person who roots for my rival has a hell of a lot more in common with me than the person who doesn't give a damn, and life is too short for the hate. Besides, my brother's best friend played for the Vikings (and grew up down the street in Madison) and was great to me as a little kid. Plus, every single Vikings fan I knows roots for the Packers when it doesn't hurt the Vikes (including my colleague next door right now). So, root against them--sure, but I don't do hate.
Now if you'd put the Cowboys in there, I would be sorely tempted. :P

[Pugger]

Count me in too!!! :cow:

[Badgerinmaine]

I, being of sound mind :lol: , do hereby agree to the aforementioned resolution.

Can anybody who hangs out here regularly pass that proviso? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Then be a realistic Packer fan. Pledge your support for the Packers regardless who their QB or GM or HC or RG or LS or PK or KR is. Nobody knows how this thing is going to turn out, but everybody here should be 100% supportive of the guys who take the field wearing Green and Gold. They are out there working thier tails off to win ballgames, and that's all we as fans can ask of them.

As far as attacks against other posters, it starts with personal committment. The one who says it will never stop and then starts with the personal attacks anyway is the one who is keeping it from ending. You can't control what others say or do, but you can make that committment to yourself to end it. The more people make that committment to themselves the closer we will be to ridding this forum of personal attacks on other posters. Do your part, and make that committment.

Signed,
Gunakor

[MadScientist]

I'm in on this, but what happens to this form if we're all being civil?

I suppose there's always the romper room for turning civil into civil war.

[Lurker64]

I'm in on this, but what happens to this form if we're all being civil?

It means the arguments we get into and the potshots we take at each other are "funny" or "fun" instead of "irritating" or "polarizing."

I mean, if anybody remembers the great "Hawk vs. Super Mario" debate at JSO, there was plenty of clash there, but there wasn't much anger and there weren't really hurt feelings to speak of.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Plus, every single Vikings fan I knows roots for the Packers when it doesn't hurt the Vikes (including my colleague next door right now).

You obviously don't live in Minnesota. You'd be hard-pressed to find somebody a Vikings fan that gives a damn and would ever root for the Packers. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Sounds like you need to move to the Twin Cities.

Harv, I lived there for ten and a half years! 8-) I went to grad school at the U of M and often watched the Packers with my Viking-loving sister-in-law--who's one of the people I am talking about. (She's from East Grand Forks--girl can't help it...):P She still roots for the Packers when it doesn't hurt the Vikings, like when we're in the playoffs and they're not :mrgreen:
Now there is the time I got ice poured down my back for having the gall to root for the Brewers against the Twins at the Metrodome... ;-)

[HarveyWallbangers]

Harv, I lived there for ten and a half years! 8-)

When was this, the 80s? I find this very hard to believe--if it was in the last 10-15 years.
:D

1985-1995. I lived in Minneapolis, St. Paul and a few months in St. Cloud right out of grad school when I taught a semester at St. John's and St. Ben's. Still have brothers in St. Anthony and Woodbury, too. I used to listen to the Packers and Brewers on WEVR from River Falls--we called it Radio Free Wisconsin.

Can I sign a contract with PacoPete and the crew agreeing to continue this fight "until death"?

[Scott Campbell]

Does this mean that "douchebag" won't be getting added to the spell check web database?

I'll sign, although I do reserve a smidgen of love for Mike Singletary.

Yup, and before that, it was "Your good neighbor in the friendly valley". There was also a station in New Richmond that had the Packers but not the Crew.

A cholo translates for the Gringos. God! what a country.

Ya gotta admit, "tike" and "Coe" made that passage a little murky.

I've been seeing a lot of "Pro/Anti Favre/Rodgers" acrimony recently, so I thought i would bump this to remind people how we ought to be behaving.

Not to mention a tad of the dreaded "assholyness" disease.

Yeah, there's nothing worse than someone acting all assholier than thou.

What this bump reminds me is that I chose not to sign this thread. I guess I have permission (from myself anyway) to behave badly.
