Hawk ends holdout

[Harlan Huckleby]

I was shocked to read that AJ Hawk did not practice last night, adding him to the historical list of Packer players who have held out of training camp. Back in Lombardi's day, Hawk and his me-first attitude would have been shipped out of town.

[Tarlam!]

Very funny and I will step up as the first homer here to say, I earned that....

[Harlan Huckleby]

And what's more, Lombardi would have made that punk get a haircut.

[BallHawk]

His hair flows like the wind.

[Harlan Huckleby]

You sound like George Costanza. He wanted to date a woman who had flowing hair.

Well, of course I started this thread to tease all the jock sniffers (like yourself, Ballhawk) who have made Hawk out to be some sort of God before he even got in GB, hell, before he was even drafted!

Very soon you will have your revenge, tho, he will probably be as good as advertised.

[GBRulz]

he did get a haircut. Like 3 weeks ago...

[HarveyWallbangers]

Hawk wasn't a holdout. A holdout is for guys who have a contract and refuse to play.

You're an Idiot. Like the guy above me said a holdout is someone who refuses to play because of their contract. The reason he didn't practice last night is because they were still working on his contract.

PS: Hawk's hair is beautiful.

Yeah Harlan. What is wrong with you man. Get with the program.

This message board doesn't have room for people like you.

[PackerPro42]

Harlum, this was one of the most retarded threads I have ever seen. You are just looking to rip the best D player in the 06 draft and I don't appreciate that.

[the_idle_threat]

This is all I think of when I see this picture ...

Cn you tell which of these Linebackers used Suave shampoo and who used the more expensive salon brand? If you can't tell ... why should we? :mrgreen:

[Tarlam!]

Harlan wasn't ripping Hawk, WPP42, he was taking a stab at posters like me that feel "hold outs" need to be severely dealt with.

Hawk missed an entire practice, because the deal wasn't signed. Technically a hold out. But not even HH really believes this was a hold out.

[Harlan Huckleby]

wausaupackerpro42, Harvey, way to defend the honor of Hawk against my vicious attack. Stand by your linebacker!

[the_idle_threat]

At the very least, you have to agree his hair is beautiful. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Harlan Huckleby]

Well, true enough Idle. Wausau took it to next level in another thread, saying Hawk looked "sweet" in his new uniform.

http://bonkalicious.com/sites1/62/

[the_idle_threat]

Damn ... that is not safe for work!

[PackerPro42]

That picture was totally uncalled for. If you want to look at gay porn go ahead but leave me out.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Wausau, you have got ZERO sense of humor, as you've now demonstrated for a third time.

I'm trying to cut you a break.

[PackerPro42]

I understand that and thats awesome, but I just don't like to look at naked guys.

[PackerPro42]

I also understand that you are just joking and I'm O.K. with that too just no naked guys, O.K.

[GBRulz]

You mean Harlan wasn't serious? :roll:

[PackerPro42]

Good one. Harlan don't take any offense to this but if you don't mind me asking, are you gay?

[Rastak]

Good one. Harlan don't take any offense to this but if you don't mind me asking, are you gay?


He and Ted are an item.

[GBRulz]

Oh gosh.....if only Tank were here to comment on that one, Rastak!

[woodbuck27]

At the very least, you have to agree his hair is beautiful. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Long hair and no dreadlocks??

Are we really ready for that?

I'm also thinking . . Hawk = Samson = mucho testosterone and . . .

BAD NEWS for the foe. Soon all linebacker's will deep inside, want long flowing hair. We'll see a line of HAWK hair products surface shortly. The brand new HAWK PRO HAIR- Support Conditioner

"Really strong hair for strength at Linebacker".

but no dreadlocks - mmmmmm ??? :mrgreen:

GO HAWK ! Flow Baby !!

[GBRulz]

So I guess what blue is implying...is that with the age old question of "What Would Lombardi Do?".... it's safe to assume the picture below depicts an accurate outcome????

Don't we? Sure we do !!!

My long time prayers, have finally been answered. I trust now - that they have.

It's a miracle. A bloody amazing miracle.

GO HAWK !!! - Your the answer to my prayers.

[Deputy Nutz]

Harlan please remove the URL to the naked man on the website, I see you covered his man tool, but it is still offensive and uncalled for in the Packer area.

[woodbuck27]

Good one. Harlan don't take any offense to this but if you don't mind me asking, are you gay?

NO! - NO! NO!

Please Noooo !!

Wrong direction of thought. Danger Danger !!!

somebody photoshop some glasses on this guy QUICK!!!

and don't worry, harlan. as the saying goes: "CUT THEM if they can't take a joke"

[woodbuck27]

I'd term that - a slam dunk !

Way to step up when we need you most - You are " the Doctor ".

Now Harlan???:

My suggestion - some member - of the clergy - talk man .

Talk it out . Also - your not ever alone on this site, no matter how big the issue. We're here for YOU - Harlan.

On my knees - with deep concern and in solemn prayer on this Sabbath day.

Way to go Ted Thompson !!

[BallHawk]

Harlan, just one question...How do the hell do you find these sites? :shock:

[PackerPro42]

Hes got that groes stuff on his profile too.

[woodbuck27]

Harlan, just one question...How do the hell do you find these sites? :shock:

Hahahaha!!

Your too young to know such stuff.

Please . . . :arrow: don't hang out with Harlan. :mrgreen:

[BallHawk]

At first I thought that site was a joke, but it's real. What's next? Migits who sniff the softball team's sports bras. Siamese twins who wear the gym teachers thong? Personally, I found Harlan's joke funny. Wausau, we all no Harlan isn't gay...he's just got a weird sense of humor, which I find extremely funny. Only problem, though, is now I'm thinking he really does watch football games in his cleats and helmets, naked. :mrgreen:

Harlan I find you offensive to my sensibilities.

[Harlan Huckleby]

wausaupackerpro42, I'm starting to think you might be my type. Do you look anything like the guy sniffing the jock in the pic?

Frickin' hilarious job on the receeding hairline, GBMichele.

Nice recovery ! Your " the Man ".

But . . . wondering. . what impact does walking around the living room and pacing back and forth in tense Packer games "naked and wearing nothing but your Packer helmut and cleats " have on your shag rug?

Prepared - to offer any needed advice. :mrgreen:

Should we report this to the Vatican :?: :?:

Think about the shock of the pizza man when Harlan comes to the door. :shock:

In my year's as a Packer fan. There was no Packer on Defence that got inside me like Ray did. He was - to be feared!!

Ray Nitschke = Tough - REALLY REALLY TOUGH !!!!

[PackerPro42]

Harlan, there is a line between humor and being completely offensive and you have crossed it.

Woody, I explained this before, but you might not have been in class that day. I set the TV out on the lawn, have little punt, pass, and kick competitions during commercials.

Why is being a sick pervert halarius. Huh Woodbuck?

[MadtownPacker]

Yeah, it was just a joke. Not a good one but HH is not the average joker.

[PackerPro42]

Well than he should stick to what he knows and lay off the maked homos/ Plus if you want to post some naked people go after some hot chicks.

Just so you all know, not everyone from Wausau is a dick.

[PackerPro42]

What is that supossed to mean.

[Tarlam!]

Falco, he's 15!

Wausau, drop your war with HH...You can't win...

[PackerPro42]

I'm not in a war with him I would just appreciate if he didn't post that kind of stuff anymore.I know it was a joke but it wasn't a very good one.

[Tarlam!]

'kay, well, just don't click oin his links and you cannot be offended...

[Rastak]

I'm not in a war with him I would just appreciate if he didn't post that kind of stuff anymore.I know it was a joke but it wasn't a very good one.

Let me say this, I would never click a link HH posted...you'd do well to do the same, as Tarlam mentioned...LOL.....

wausaupackerpro42 ??? Maybe, your not old enough to follow this?

Try to relax , and why is it that the offended goes on to be the offender? We all here have got your side of it after 10 posts. Your beginning to drool. LOL

RELAX wausaupackerpro42 - PLEASE. Is that working on YOU.

Gooood. Thatsanice.

Firstly. Harlan isn't anyone - that any of us here can pin down easily and most of us are more skilled in life than you'll (maybe be) in double your present age. You were just born 16 years ago.

Secondly You have to learn to deal with all types on a forum. You havn't encountered the bad ass's I have sonny bunch. Absolute creepo's that will stalk you on a forum (literally) and even evade your privacy with rotten flaming E-mail's - till you will loose sleep.

People that will make your life a bloody HELL. Let go of "this chant".

Also consider this wausaupackerpro42:

Never go to war - if you've never been to war.

Good advice for YOU, wausaupackerpro42. Let it go ! :mrgreen:

K !

[pbmax]

Woodbuck, permission to steal this line for a signature? Haven't seen it put better in a long time.

And I second Harvey's admonition that draft picks CANNOT hold out, as they have no contractual obligation to report. Even profootballtalk had this wrong on their usually precise site :wink:

And I am longing for the day when people will be more concerned in their signatures about first downs allowed than total number of tackles. Show me a team that has league leaders in tackles and I will show you a mediocre defense. Show me a team that allows the fewest first downs, I will show you the next NFC champs.

[4and12to12and4]

I bet ya anything that Hawk was pissed at his agent who was probably assuring him over and over again that he would have the deal done by the start of camp. But, Hawkcouldn't have showed upfor practice . I mean, look what happened to LeCharles Bentley in Cleveland. If Hawk would have came to practice and had a serious injury, he would have been "up shit creek without a wooden device to help propel him through the muck" (or something like that). In other words, he was "between a rock and a not so soft place", I mean, really, "his hands were placed together tightly with a rope-like substrate", if you get my drift.

He isn't allowed to practice without a contract..so it's kinda moot (or mute for those that don't know the difference between moot and mute).

[Harlan Huckleby]

And I second Harvey's admonition that draft picks CANNOT hold out, as they have no contractual obligation to report. Even profootballtalk had this wrong on their usually precise site :wink:

"holdout" is often used to describe a player who misses camp without signing a contract. I was looking at articles on the web. Useage is what defines a word.

Gotta side with the others on this one HH. I think the mainstream media has it all wrong on this one. You can't hold out if you aren't even on the friggen team.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Gotta side with the others on this one HH. I think the mainstream media has it all wrong on this one. You can't hold out if you aren't even on the friggen team.

Well, when you're drafted by a team, you are bound to that team.

Here's a formal definition: "a negotiator who hopes to gain concessions by refusing to come to terms" (I found similar definitions by googling) By this definition, a person still in process of negotiating a contract fits exactly.

It really is a case of usage. And far as I can see on the web, "holdout" is used for players with and without contracts. Reggie Bush was referred to as a "holdout" in most of the headlines before he signed.

Actually you can sit out without ever signing and the team loses your rights.
I think most headlines were wrong on this one...I guess we're arguing semantics here so I'll stop. I think we both know what the situation is, we just disagree on how it is reported.

[Harlan Huckleby]

sorry Rastak, but my blood is starting to boil. Gotta keep up the fight.

I think the headline writers got it right by the dictionary. And even if they were wrong, they are still right, since common useage trumps Webster.

Is there an English teacher in the house?

Okay a fight it is....I demand Tank and waussau sit in judgement.


or not.... :roll:

[pbmax]

I am going to old school it. Long before there was free agency, players would routinely miss large portions of training camp because of injury, retirement, etc. They were seeking sometimes to save themsleves the rigors of two-a-days or they might have been seeking an ungraded contract. Keith Jackson was the most recent, that comes to mind, who would always miss a week or two of camp while under contract. I think Ruettgers was known for this as well.

They were always referred to hold outs.

Common usage might use the same term for Jackson as for Hawk and Bush. I think it misleading.

If the company I am thinking of joining and I don't have an agreement for compensation, then I am not going to work.

Sit out works for me.

[PackerPro42]

How come if you got my point everyone kept ripping on me? I don't really care but I would like to know. :sad:

[Scott Campbell]
