Man did he age. I guess Green Bay does that to a man. What's with the white unis?

Didn't you hear about the new marketing campaign and name change to the Generic Acme Meat Packing Co. Packers?

Cuts down on expenses not to have to color the uniforms I guess.

And so the insider evaluation of the training and medical staff begins

Best thing I've seen all day!

Green Bay is cold, dull and now dark, too, with the influx of African Americans from the MKE, but the city doesn’t cause rapid aging despite the toxicity from the Fox River.

The man’s conscience is the cause of his aged impotency. Your defensive coordinator showered naked with a kid, and you just pretend that that monstrous deed happened in another universe?

Btw, LaFluer wants to prove that he’s a players’ coach by hooping up with the kids (playas), but he needs to face the music - he ain’t a young un anymore.

In my early 30’s, I used to cover - and shutdown - the best college-aged kids during flag futbol matches. Nowadays, being about the same age as the Great Arm of Butte, I merely play safety and pick off passes.

Couch LaFleur's injury, while unfortunate, will not I think have the effect of diminishing his ability to perform his duties a HC. In fact, he may serve to inspire some players to perform at a higher level. In addition, it might just place more responsibilities upon his staff of coaches and at the same time give Coach LaFleur added empathy for players as they incur their inevitable injuries.

Additionally, such an occurrence can't help but emphasize the importance to all the importance of stretching and warming up prior to lifting / practice. Perhaps this sad injury will help to lessen player injuries moving forward.

Get well soon Coach LaFleur.

Without the ability to exercise properly for an extended period of time, LaFleur can now progress to the packer coach body type we're used to.

Good point. Distrust and verify.

Ah, nice twist on the old Doveryai, no proveryai


A source confirmed that LaFleur was injured on the basketball court inside the Packers' headquarters at Lambeau Field, as NFL.com first reported.

LaFleur, 39, will have surgery on Sunday. A source said team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie advised LaFleur to have the tear repaired as soon as possible.

Just this week, LaFleur was seen in an OTA practice lining up at safety during a drill. Earlier this offseason, LaFleur, who played quarterback at Saginaw Valley State, actually grabbed the ball and threw some passes during rookie minicamp.

Two sources, competing publications and one knows where it happened and when surgery is scheduled. Pretty sure this one check out eventually.

LaFleur is having a Dan Devine-like start to his career. Of course, Devine made it through his first training camp, and didn't break his leg until his first game. Hopefully, LaFleur doesn't have a Devine-like career.

Should I bet my minimum-wage, burger-flipping paycheck on McCarthy being the Seafags’ HC in 2020?

Schneider and McCarthy are BFFs and whatnot. The conspiracy to decapitate Pete Carroll has begun. However, the Wilson-DK Metcalf marriage could end up pardoning Carroll.

That's a good bet. But a better bet would be to put as much of your money as you can into Vanguard mutuals (split some into the international growth fund). Or put it all on red 22.

LaFleur still scheduled to throw out first pitch of yearly softball game and Davante Adams this weekend.

That’s impressive. I woulda guessed he couldn’t throw Davante even with his Achilles intact.

Sounds like it’s like midget tossing, but with a black guy

Good idea about investing frogskins in Vanguard mutuals. John Lennon’s pinko cousin, Vlady, was all about forming the Vanguard to guide misguided folks such as yourself and Tex. And hot damn, i’d love myself some international, Vanguard growth.

Speaking of “hot damn,” I discovered said phrase while watching this pretty good (and funny) 70’s flick, Big Bad Mama, on the Amazon prime last night. You might be familiar with the flick due to ya fondness for Captain Kirk.

La Fleur made it, Kevin King was healthy enough to play as well, as was Rodgers.
