IIRC he was only with the Packers for one preseason and got cut before the 2007 camp after they signed BJax. If anyone has a burning desire to know more about Arliss Beach than you learn from Wikipedia, there's a forum where you can feast on internet rumors about his girlfriend, or his lack of girlfriend, or his having too many girlfriends. http://www.talk-sports.net/nfl/girlf...x/Arliss_Beach

Hahaha! Thanks hoosier, that was actually kind of funny. An on-line ho fight about who gets to be Arliss Beach's whore while random visitors mock them. What could be better than such chunks of human wisdom as this:

The bottom line is Arliss Beach is crazy.. He must really have some deep rooted insecurities to feel he needs to have so many females in his life at one time. He never even stopped to think about them or their feelings .. If he loved or cared for any of you then he would never have destroyed so many peoples lives..

If Arliss Beach has the power to destroy people's lives, we're all fucked.

All of this reminds me of Torrance Marshall.

Did you two kids go to the submarine races in Sturgeon Bay?

Wasn't he a cheerleader or something for Green Bay...or Shermy's illegitimate son? Either way, Snake has it on good source that he was Fergy's roommate at some point.

He was a third round pick, I think, sold as a poor man's Lawrence Taylor, but he was in fact a poor man's Brian Bosworth.

He was a linebacker. Er, a fullback. No, a linebacker. Or something.

A lot of this sounds like the linebacker stories. Every spring we have an avalanche of fluff pieces talking about how wonderfully so-and-so is preforming in pads, how much progress whatshisnuts has made since last year's disappointing outing, and how many positions are up for grabs. Everyone gets excited, starts shooting their load in their pants, and most importantly, they keep reading.

Then they play exhibition games and it turns out that some of these guys have been working at peak efficiency in practice in order to impress the coaches while the starters have been trying not to get injured so they don't spend an entire season playing with a rib cage injury... for example. Some guys had a good practice or two, got a couple great write ups that ignored their less glamorous moments, and then bring that same inconsistency to the exhibition games and get grilled for it. Some guys just suck ass when there's an actual game to be played.

Wynn has the best chance to gain playing time since splitting time at RB is probably the preferred arrangement at the position. It'll be great if he has improved, but until they play against another team, I'm not getting to worked up about it. Even then, I think I'll temper my excitement about the emergence of Wynn as the next great RB until he shows he can produce yards on the field instead of on the exercise bike.

And Skin, don't forget either about the annual tradition of the rookie who kicks butt in exhibition games and we all speculate that he could play a significant role in the offense/defense....and then he plays special teams most of the year and when he's put in at his regular position for like two plays, he sucks.

There's always that phenomenon, too.
