You started a whole separate thread with this post already. I understand you are going to post these links but try and keep some order to them. This has happened before and there's really no need for the same post in multiple threads.

Thanks Cheesehead Craig, I appreciate that you might be concerned.

I'm isolating information that should be specifically interesting to Packer fans;

... as opposed to posters here that are interested in the activities/transactions/reactions Etc. that's specific to the Free Agency period. ie That's certainly more NFL as a whole oriented information.

THANKS again and have a wonderful day. (-:

I just read this from a reliable NFL source..TRUST ME !

Joe Philbin and his commentsn as to why Matt Flynn picked the Seahawks over the Dolphins. this quote may be applied to any NFL Player or Teams GM in terms of the option of seeking employment or being placed in a position of need to do so. It pretty much sums up 'the dynamic of Free Agency'.

“Again, you need to ask Matt Flynn why he’s in Seattle,” Philbin said.

“There’s a myriad factors that go into why people make decisions about their own future, which is their prerogative.

And clubs have their own prerogative as to how they are going to decide to move forward.

And so again, it always takes two people to get a marriage and so I wish him well. He’s a great young man.

But he’s better to ask why he’s in Seattle.” Joe Philbin

Comment woodbuck27:

Doing this thread has been a journey into some certain reality. I'm certainly learning that 'only' a few people, are straight up truly honest or outspoken as to why they do anything. When can the line between politeness and public relations ( PR ) be wiped away and the team GM's and NFL players just certainly tell us what is their best feeling about anything? Us fans have to read too much bullshit !

It sure doesn't go down like that at Packerrats.

If any poster here doesn't have thick skin and that same poster calls it as he/she sees it and cannot accept challenge and possible need to swollow their ego. It can turn into some storm of certain proportions and that's the reality of OUR Packer Home or community.

We all need to pull together to not get so damn serious. To try harder to understand one another and never take it to the personal level. To willingly harm one another!? God knows there's enough harm that's innoscent and compassionately felt between members here but certainly NOT meant to be taken as Personal in regards to an attack.

I personally wouldn't purposely and blindly harm a single poster here no matter what I felt about that posters personality or charactwer that disagreedb with me. With what I see as my way and TRUTH. I realize my TRUTH will nor coincide with all members. That some members will even hate me.That reality gives me gief and causes sadness but i swollow it as i must to survive. I request all of you do the same,please.

If you need to get all twisted or bent out of shape because you didn't get your point across. You may simply need to re-evluate being on a Forum. Especially one that features a sport. I can say this...Packerrats values all of it's membership. I'm tough in debate. I'm naturally competitive as well. Much of my past formed woodbuck27.

I grew up debating anything /eveything sports with my Bud's. Down at the corner store many evenings that was the normal thing to do. You played sports.You tossed sports around verbally like salad.

You were never all right. You were seldom all wrong.

I'm very proud to be a contributing member of Packerrats. My Green Bay Packer HOME.

I enter my Packer home with one single endeavour.To make a contribution that's overall pleasing to the membership. To respect every member that enjoys Packerrats as I do.

Sometimes 'my TRUTH ' will collide with 'your TRUTH'. We may contract to debate differences in OUR TRUTH. In the course of such debate it's my personal motive not to hurt any feelings. To debate with manners and to serve this forum with respect and dignity. To be an honourable member of Packerrats. To be open minded and learn and grow as a footbal fan.

please condider this:

As adults we should not arrive at a position of pain in terms of bad feelings and get bent out of shape feeling. Arrive at an overriding emotion of some degree of insult. We are on a Forum where debate is not abnormal. Sometimes 'bad feelings ' may result as two members struggle to make their position superior or better to arrive at a common understanding. My advice is take some time to get over yourself if you ever get 'just' to anger or insult. Be an adult. moreso and as a best policy..... grow as human beings through your experiences at Packerrats.

Try hard to be like me please. LOVE Packerrats.

Think.......... and be grateful that we have so many interesting posters here and never judge anyone easily or harshly. You all have an option in the Ignore Option. I can attest to this as' a fact' that works as a FINAL step to gaining your ultimate PEACE and sense of well being as a Packerrat when the intimidation of some member (s) far exceeds the need. Even with those posters I hold no ill feelings. I treat them 'only' as I see fit for myself...so I can survive here and maintain the respect I must have for this fan forum

I want every member to contribute the very best and totally enjoy this wonderful Packer fan and NFL fan site.

This is 'YOUR' and my Packer HOME. It's all about Packerrats ! LOVE Packerrats and act accordingly.

It's also and certainly about this:

GO PACK GO !
