Packers Sign WR Tavon Austin & DL Anthony Rush

[SudsMcBucky]

Was at a Rush concert in '83-84 or there abouts... 2 guys got in a fight right in front of us, we were about 20 feet from the stage. One guy pulled a knife and stabbed the other guy several times. When we saw the knife we pushed back on the crowd and were able to make a bit of hole in the crowd. He was pretty out of control with the knife, you could tell he was fucked up. Well, we were at a concert - we all were, lol...

We read in the paper that the guy he stabbed later died at the hospital. I had blood all over me, but didn't realize it until later. They caught the guy though... he stabbed a few more people as he was running thru the crowd. The article said he admitted to taking acid that night, and didn't know what he was doing.

Don't know how his case turned out.

Wow!!!!

Packers release Shepherd to make room for Tavon Austin. The Little Engine That Could will no more.

One time I was on twitter and someone was saying Aaron Jones is.the best RB in the NFL. I said he isn't the best at anything let alone best RB in the league and Jones responded that he's the best at scoring touchdowns.


That was the last time I criticized a player on twitter. I'm ok doing it here, smaller room, the player himself.wont see it. But I get really annoyed when I see people talk shit on twitter because I realize the players and families see it. Just not a positive thing to do.

You'll figure it out eventually. Don't be in a Rush.

Christ. This whole place is a FLY BY NIGHT operation.

gadget guy...like Swerve. will be nice to have two of them. he can take over all the return duties right now and probably will. i'll be surprised if he has 6 catches between now and the end of the season though.

Insurance for Ervin has been overdue. They didn't have anybody else like him, and he adds something to the offense. Of course, Austin wasn't available or healthy. If he's in shape, it's a nice insurance policy for Ervin. A valuable aspect of our offense isn't removed when Ervin is unavailable. I'm glad this was done early enough that he might work himself into shape. He's not Andre Rison, but similar to the Rison signing in some ways. I think Rison signed with about 5 weeks to go in the regular season in 1996.

Shepherd released. We'll never forget you Darnell.

At 5' 8.5", Austin is the Packers shortest WR since Aubrey Matthews.

I never really cared for them, but seriously what the fuck? I know the newer generations were a step away from being considered clinically retarded, but they are also supposed to be, like, totes into music and LPs and floating record players and shit. Turns out they’re just clinically retarded. Bwaaaa waaaa.

A Plexi and an SG. Doesn’t get much more rock and roll guitar than that. Though I gotta say, I love my dual recto more than anything I’ve ever played through.

Bunch of uncultured swines around here. Maybe they would get it if you said Tom Jones, or Sawyer Brown? They don't have a 2112 IQ betwixt 30 of them.

That would have been too easy.

You, partial, myself, we millennials are getting old, but we’re still younger than them Gen X-ers.

We millennials don’t know who or what Rush was, nor do we give a fuck. We’re all about Coldplay, Beyoncé, N Sync and 50 Cent. Especially Coldplay, the greatest band of all time.

I was going to come up with a witty comment about the musical tastes your listed. Then I realized that nothing I say could make those choices any less impressive.

BTW, if you have never seen it, check out Alex Lifeson's acceptance speech when RUSH was inducted into the RAR HOF. As a millennial, I think you will like it.

JAG being just another guy which is what most late season FA signings are. I didn't reference JAG for Austin as I have higher hopes for his potential to play an Ervin type role in the offense.

So I'm not clear on what you mean by the terminology not fitting the thread as it's about the signing of Rush and Austin which is what my post was about.

JAG. --.first thought is
