Man did he age. I guess Green Bay does that to a man. What's with the white unis?

Didn't you hear about the new marketing campaign and name change to the Generic Acme Meat Packing Co. Packers?

Cuts down on expenses not to have to color the uniforms I guess.

And so the insider evaluation of the training and medical staff begins

Best thing I've seen all day!

Green Bay is cold, dull and now dark, too, with the influx of African Americans from the MKE, but the city doesn’t cause rapid aging despite the toxicity from the Fox River.

The man’s conscience is the cause of his aged impotency. Your defensive coordinator showered naked with a kid, and you just pretend that that monstrous deed happened in another universe?

Btw, LaFluer wants to prove that he’s a players’ coach by hooping up with the kids (playas), but he needs to face the music - he ain’t a young un anymore.

In my early 30’s, I used to cover - and shutdown - the best college-aged kids during flag futbol matches. Nowadays, being about the same age as the Great Arm of Butte, I merely play safety and pick off passes.

Couch LaFleur's injury, while unfortunate, will not I think have the effect of diminishing his ability to perform his duties a HC. In fact, he may serve to inspire some players to perform at a higher level. In addition, it might just place more responsibilities upon his staff of coaches and at the same time give Coach LaFleur added empathy for players as they incur their inevitable injuries.

Additionally, such an occurrence can't help but emphasize the importance to all the importance of stretching and warming up prior to lifting / practice. Perhaps this sad injury will help to lessen player injuries moving forward.

Get well soon Coach LaFleur.

Without the ability to exercise properly for an extended period of time, LaFleur can now progress to the packer coach body type we're used to.

Maybe Mike has some old Packer pullovers he doesn't need.

Good point. Distrust and verify.

Ah, nice twist on the old Doveryai, no proveryai

A source confirmed that LaFleur was injured on the basketball court inside the Packers' headquarters at Lambeau Field, as NFL.com first reported.

LaFleur, 39, will have surgery on Sunday. A source said team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie advised LaFleur to have the tear repaired as soon as possible.

Just this week, LaFleur was seen in an OTA practice lining up at safety during a drill. Earlier this offseason, LaFleur, who played quarterback at Saginaw Valley State, actually grabbed the ball and threw some passes during rookie minicamp.

Two sources, competing publications and one knows where it happened and when surgery is scheduled. Pretty sure this one check out eventually.
