    Alas, I am too old to dream; too young to die, to borrow Castellows. Quit and do what?

    Shoulda drafted Dejean last year instead of that bum Yokozuna. What’s the bum’s name again? Miller? McKenzie? Michaels? Morgan?
    They might be hanging around burger joints hahahaha.

    If Spotrac know what they're talking about (not really a sure thing), they all should be cheaper than Jaire. Of course, theoretically, the Packers could still re-sign and bring back Jaire. All of those guys are 30 or more, I think, except Henderson who is labeled as a bust and Mosely, just slightly under 30.

    I really think with our Safetys and LBs, we could play a lot of zone and be just fine.

    I've told you repeatedly, be an Independent CPA. You've said you're a CPA and no firm will hire you. Fine, there's plenty of demand for that sort of thjng.

    Well, technically, you can't actually be a CPA if you've never worked for one. That's part of the steps of actually becoming a CPA (at least MOST states require that.)

    Yeah, having some length of accounting experience is part of the deal. I haven’t done any accounting work since 2008 - worked 3 months unpaid for the “experience” and they still refused to hire me at the end.

    Pretty sure I applied to ThunderDan CPA and got shot down by the man himself.

    Keep making shit up in your head. You have never sent a resume to our firm. No one has. We have to hire recruiters to find anybody. We have gotten our last 3 hires that way.

    But you be you, making up stories in your head.

    PS. My 17-year-old son makes $17.65 stocking shelves at Target.
    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.

    APB and Thunder, based on what you both are saying, actually send him your resume and get hired, APB.

    I don't know how many business and econ courses you had on your way to being a CPA, but presumably plenty. I had enough courses without really trying to qualify not only for a real estate license but to go straight to being a Broker and have my own office. There's also a distinct possibility for you to do that.

    And from what I've heard about Target, they would be your kind of people hahahaha.

    If I were a betting man and if such a bet exists, I'd put money on Jaire playing all 17 games next year for whatever team signs him.

    Wouldn’t shock me. He quit on this team last year and surprised he’s not wanted. He practiced fully for weeks and couldn’t even play in the playoffs. We don’t know everything - but if the team wanted him - they’d have figured it out.

    Can’t have too many me-guys, hot heads, cancers - or your whole team is a bunch of pricks.

    I'll go in a different direction and say that he'll start out gangbusters - with Minnesota, I'll guess - but around halfway through, maybe more, he'll start getting knicked up - miss a game, come back, play two, miss another, and so on.

    I was thinking about this more… if I faked a work injury and was getting workers comp… I’d be in legal trouble. For athletes - they can fake these injuries and are protected.

    You and Bobble are the only two excreting the shit about J-Alex faking injuries and quitting on the team.

    Lovemaker did an interview a few weeks back; said he would love to have J-Alex back. Coach Frog did the same. If the top two leaders of the Pack are willing to welcome J-Alex back with open arms, then y’all excrements smell fishy.

    I dislike my dumbass boss. I am sick of burger flipping. But I still work hard out of respect for fellow workers.

    You honestly think J-Alex quit on his boi, X-Mac? C’mon, man!

    My understanding from a single article I read on ACME was that it was the coaching staff that was tired of the "will-he-or-won't-he" games. There were apparently situations in which the coaches felt Alexander could play, albeit at less than 100%, but Jaire said, like Amy Winehouse, "No, no, no." And apparently he'd be coy about whether he thought he could play each week. But it does no one any good to bad-mouth, even if it's the truth, so better to say they loved him and gee it's a shame.

    But there can be no doubt they cut him because he was not available, and not availabe when they thought he ought to be.

    Oh yes. I 100% believe that. He is a punk. Most people are polite and don't call punks out. If I were a member of the Packers organization in any fashion I wouldn't be saying Jaire quit on his team. I would sing his praises and hope some sucker gives us a pick. Then when we cut him I would mostly just move on because thats the best way to handle it.

    I think he will somehow find a way to play against us and have a really good game. Or half maybe. That will be the highlight of his season. After the game he will talk about disrespect and such. Then he will put forth half ass efforts the rest of the way when he manages to take the field.

    Jaire was a great talent from the neck down. He's just kinda unpredictable. He didn't play last year when he was hurt but not injured. He cost himself a lot of money. Wish him the best if he doesn't go to a division rival. If he does, fuck that bitch.
