Entertainment and your mental health - A positive outlook

You should never listen to him.

I love the draft. It is why I come back here every year. This is the best bang for my buck. The "Big D" 12 years ago help me put all of this fandom over the Packers in perspective. I could care less who the Packers draft every year, I just want to be entertained, and be able to play arm chair GM.

A lot of people appreciate all you invest into it, and posting great stuff here. I hope you keep it up.

I went the opposite way. I got frustrated with investing time into researching players and then never having the Packers draft them (Steelers always pick 'em). So now I just wait, and look at them after the Packers pick 'em to see if I like/hate them.

One strange thing though is that my Dad has been out west for 20 plus years and he was telling me about how great this kid Rodgers from Cal was in 2004. This year he's telling me about this kid from Utah somewhere who looked great last year, but not so great this year and I should keep my eye out for him...

I really love college football, and don't get much time to watch games anymore as I am invested in the fall breaking down high school film to build a game plan for Friday nights, I sneak in a few hours to watch the Badgers play and then I back on the computer. So I enjoy it when I have a moment in late Winter early Spring to watch college film and see where each of these prospects have the best fit and compare them to each other. I like being a Mel Kiper Jr. That man is my hero.

Make it about the players, not the team.

People were posting last night that it looked like a MMA fighters locker room moments before the fight. But the powder room adds a whole other element to it.

Shut the door!

That’s a reflection. Prob a kid in shorts on a chair.

‘Probably’.

This is going to probably come across as sarcastic.

If you're genuinely angry about the draft pick last night, you might want to take a step back and re-evaluate what you're doing with your entertainment dollars/time. This is already a taxing time on mental health for some/most.

Try to do something that brings you joy at least once a day.

When you're right, you're right - and it sure ain't often, Zool. I said pretty much the same thing last night. The way to maintain sanity is to reconcile this pick in our minds and hope for the best. There ain't a time warp or something that is gonna change who the Packers picked. We just need to go on from here and hope things get better tonight and tomorrow. I think they will, but then again, I'm an optimist.

This is why I love you, real man love. I can't wait to go antiquing with you.

Also for my mental health. AJ Hawk looks like a goddamn serial killer. Nicest guy in the world but he looks like a motherfucking ice cold killer, especially smoking that cigar.

Mike Vrabel's war room/MMA green room was pure awesomeness. That's going to live on for a while.

Speaking of staying sane - I wouldn't be surprised if they are all Frozoned and roided, being quarantined with 18/19 year old teens.

As for the draft, I'm with those who appreciate the work people put in to rank and list players. I'm also in the group that has players I'd like GB to draft but don't expect them to. I often dislike or scratch my head at many of the picks, but once camps start I'm rooting for them. And yes, people take it way too seriously sometimes. It is a game after all, and there are more important things in life, like your mental health.
