Is this a 10K, 15K, or 25K fine?

Don't make it political. I'm talking about self-righteous people who think they know best how other people should spend their money.

We covered this earlier in the week. The cards as gifts to teammates set up a perverse incentive to root for teammates to fail. The system needs work.

What isn't clear from these snippets is that this Viking, or someone lined up next to him, used some form of leverage to jump high into the air to attempt to block the kick. I think Lang put the guy on his ass. Which is why he is not happy.

Chad Clifton said his hamstring injury was a partial tear and doesn't know if they'll IR him but he thinks he has a chance to return

#Packers LT Chad Clifton on his hamstring injury: It was a partial tear, but not completely off the bone so no surgery was required.

I saw that at game speed and thought that would be a penalty.

As usual the cheapshot lowlife scumbag purple slime goatsuckers were cheating as much as they could.

Actually, I just want to know the bit where he doesn't get ejected!!!

As much money as rookie Randall Cobb is making this year - the only one of the group on a rookie contract - I doubt $100 gift cards provide much incentive. If the guys were only taking home $2500 game checks every week then I'd be more concerned. As it is, there's nothing they could get with a couple dozen gift cards that they couldn't afford on their own salary. I don't find the incentive to fail argument plausible.

That shot was above the groin area. Perhaps an attempt to expell a lodged piece of pretzel. It's all in the game or no affront to speak of. A mnimal fine if any at all.

Anyone wanna give a breakdown of Newhouse today? I really didn't watch him all that much. Saw the first two sacks and he was responsible for at least one of those. I think he let Allen go once too on a run play which ended up for a TFL. Again, not too sure. I did see he was getting help at times, but again, I don't know if it was alot or what.

Allen schooled him all day. Of course Allen can make seasoned veterans look silly but Rodgers had to scramble around the pocket more than normal. Eventually they left Kuhn in there to assist on obvious passing downs. I also noticed on the last drive we ran to the right successfully too. Thankfully Rodgers didn't get hurt. I'm sure Newhouse learned a lot yesterday afternoon!

The refs should be fined too...I mean, the ref was starring right at it plus other must have been too. Disgrace!

Even tho the offending Viking player says he wasn't aiming for the groin and he missed high I have a hard time believing it was "all in the game".

Maybe we should start attacking players like we are attacking police officers and fire fighters. All of sudden they are the enemy. What a great system. Go out and risk your life every day for a thankless public and then don't you dare complain when that same public tries to take away your pay, health benefits and pension. And if you dare say anything, you will be told YOUR LUCKY YOU HAVE A JOB! Bwahahahaha.

Now that is making it political. Ignore that rant. I just needed to get it out.

Back to the Pack...

Take it to FYI

One thing is for sure, at the end of the season Vikings banquet, he will receive the "Corey Fuller Cheap Shot Trophy."
