HOF Game

[Guiness]

Joe Callahan, Wesley College, Division III

Div III? Well then. One thing you can definitely say about him is he doesn't like checkdowns!

Paging Matt Flynn!

Well, Favre did say he's going to play the opening series. Call him and say 'have we got a honey of a deal on a one day contract for you!

Definitely agree on the pro bowl.

For pre-season, season ticket holders get jobbed bad. I mostly agree on getting rid of half. With the severe limitations on off season and even training camp activities, it might have become a little more important.

Regarding playing in the hall of fame game. It's actually good for the team to see all the young guys who a borderline on making the team. That's pretty much all it is good for.

Packers finally stopped charging the same price for preseason games and regular season games.

Our tickets are $56 for preseason and $108 for regular season. Last year it was somewhere around $85 for all games.

I think we will see Aaron Rodgers for one series. Why would they not?

I think we will see Aaron Rodgers for one series. Why would they not?

Why would (should) they?

[Rutnstrut]

I think we will see Aaron Rodgers for one series. Why would they not?

Because it only takes one play to get hurt. If he suffered a season ending injury in this meaningless game. The fans would string up MM.

i don't get how this game doesn't count as a real preseason game

if you play in the HOF game, then you should only have to play 3 others. its just another meaningless game where players can get hurt

i hope we don't see any first or second stringers tonight. just use this worthless game to take a good long look at all the fringe players

if we have one meaningful player suffer an injury tonight then that is complete bullshit

It looks like its not getting played. Concerns about the field. Summer thunderstorm you think? Nope.

An accumulation of rubber pellets.

I have no idea what's happened either.

It looks like my garage after winter is gone and the sand is all that is left.

Fans are being allowed to enter the stadium as workers appear to be trying to power wash the paint off the Hall of Fame logo at midfield.

The paint that was applied today on middle of field, and in endzones, has congealed; would be like playing on tar.

Game now doubtful.

I'm told teams being informed there will not be a Hall of Game tonight due to unsafe playing field conditions


Others are saying there will be a fan fest or something?!

How about trying to tackle Eddie Lacy for 5 bucks a try?

[pbmax]

They used the wrong paint and it melted the plastic grass and exposed the rubber pellets.

Or something.

[smuggler]

Would they push it back a day? That's disappointing. Oh well, fewer injuries!

i doubt the players or teams are aking any money off the game, so this is all money going into the leagues pockets
