The Laughing Stock of the NFL

[sheepshead]

HHHMMMM,
Why is it every time I turn on ESPN or any other sports show they are laughing at Packer management and saying how bad they handled this situation? FORMER NFL PLAYERS.

Oh thats right, the haters on this forum are way more knowledgeable than everyone else,

Your first mistake is watching that much ESPN.

Thats funny because Forrest Gregg retired 5 times and unretired 5 times and I am pretty sure they didn't send him packing nor did he have to win his job back.

In those days, the offseason consisted of players going home and working at a full-time job. Players got in shape during a grueling training camp. Retirement aside, Vince wouldn't have put up with the bullcrap. There are numerous cases of Vince shipping a guy out of town for the smallest of reasons.

Union vs management. Union guys stick together and they'll always feel like they have to support anyone in the union when they have a disagreement with management. The ex-players still have that loyalty to the union even after they are done playing.

I think it's more on that union loyalty that they are siding with Brett than any actual factual research.

If we don't make the playoffs this year, I'm blaming Brett for starting this whole mess. If Favre hadn't unretired (for all the wrong reasons) and made a circus of this we probably would have won 2-3 more games this year.

I'm with you all the way!

how much energy did the coach and gm waste on this???????

So what about Ryan Grant? He sat out all off-season. What about Chuck Woodson and Al who historically has skipped any OTAs and workouts (they made rare appearances this yeaR) in favor of working out on their own?

No one here is biased. I have no beef with Rodgers besides him being a girly man cake boy. If he wins games, I'm cool with him. I'm upset with the treatment of a legend, and think its foolish and a step backwards to keep playing for tomorrow.

You are absolutely biased against Rodgers. I can respect that, but I cant respect your denial of it.

Really, I have no bias. I hope he wins. I hope we get a super bowl. How can one be bias against someone who has never won a game? Talk is cheap and potential is just that. I'm a show me guy. He hasn't shown anything yet. Favre consistently displayed that he was one of the best of the best of the best, even at 38 or however old the geezer is.

If you have no bias against Rodgers, you can stop calling him soft, injury prone and cake boy for now. Stop calling him TT's boy and like Aaron said "get the fuck on the bus".

Once he shows that he is not injury prone by starting a two full seasons, then he'll lose that title. Right now all signs point to injury prone and soft. Aaron has no right to tell anyone what to do because he hasn't done anything. I'm not going to support him until he gives me a reason to - the same way real men, including brett favre, had to make their way.

Partial, did you read the transcript of MM's press conference, or listen to it if it was broadcast? If you did either of those, can you explain how MM's responses to the questions makes him in any way an "asshat"

And what is an "asshat," anyway?

Hiring Ari Fleischer to help with PR was proof enough.

But a cross-dresser came to my garage sale looking for women's clothing and he had barrettes in his beard and for the life of me I couldn't figure that out either. Was he thinking "Go ahead and stare; I live life on my own terms," or was he thinking, "Everyone thinks I'm sooo pretty in these new sandals."

Edit: I can understand the cross-dressing thing and believe that a person's psychological identity isn't necessarily tied to gender. But why wear a beard? Why wear a denim mini, a purple blouse, high heel sandals, falsies and make up and then grow a long, long beard?

That's as crazy as blaming the Favre mess on someone other than Favre.

See! I knew I had a point.

Edit#2: The purple blouse was really pretty. And he bought a nice pink sweater that kind of brought out his blue eyes.

I laughed my ass off on this one Swede! This needed to be recognized.

It's a toss-up between this one, and News Bruin's post about TT doing some interpretive dance at his press conference

I would like to express my feelings about that untruth through an interpretive dance based on the Cindi Lauper song, "Time After Time."

This boredom induced by this silliness has brought out the creative side in these two!

Once he shows that he is not injury prone by starting a two full seasons, then he'll lose that title. Right now all signs point to injury prone and soft. Aaron has no right to tell anyone what to do because he hasn't done anything. I'm not going to support him until he gives me a reason to - the same way real men, including brett favre, had to make their way.

He broke his foot against the Pats and kept on playing. Most people break their foot and go down like a sack of rocks. Soft is far from it. Multiple hamstring pulls, concussions, abdominal strains....that's what you have to worry about when you're talking "injury prone." He broke his foot, he can't control that.

If anybody is a "cakeboy" it's your boy Will Blackmon. There's a guy that can't stay healthy.

I worry about his durability, but he only got injured once in the games he's played in--the New England game. He's played about 12 preseason games and a few regular season games. The injury after the Dallas game happened in practice, so he got injured once in three years of practice. He got injured once in about 15 actual games. Now, he has to prove he's durable, but I won't call him soft because he got injured in one out of 15 games and got injured in one practice in three years.

Just because he toughed it out does not negate the fact he had a season ending injury.

Funny, how Blackmon has had almost identical injury history to Aaron and we all think he can't stay healthy yet Aaron is chiseled out of wood!

Blackman has been injured more than Rodgers.

Guess I draw a line there. He's the Packers starting QB and if you're a fan you support him. You may not respect him yet as he's not proven himself but you still support him. Even if you still aren't a fan of Rodgers, you should support him for the simple reason that if he does well then the team is likely to be successfully as well.

[Badgepack]

I am so embarrassed to call myself a Packer fan these days. It's sickening. Everyone outside of Wisconsin thinks Favre is getting a raw deal, and rightfully so.

I live well outside of Wisconsin and most everyone that I talk to thinks that Favre has lost his mind.

Yeah, its kindo fo hypocritcal that he rips on me for not supporting Favre while he refuses to support Rodgers. Hmmmmm.
