Can you have a second-favorite wife?

Listen, Mr. All-or-Nothing, you're hedging your bets on the most important part of this whole site: you're either a Packer fan and fuck every other team (though you can still be respectful of their fans, like Ras), or you're like the young kids who switch their "favorite" team to whoever's been winning lately.

In Utah.

Eagles trade picks for Jahan Dotson.
Their offense could be very good when you consider they already have Brown, Smith, Goedert, Barkley, and Hurts.

This will be a real test for our defense in Week 1.

Well, as a matter of fact .............. hahahaha, and I doubt I'm the only one in that context also.

Didn't you say something once about having some secondary loyalty to the Lions?

Don't get me started on that piece of shit, Rastak. It's a free country, ya'all can like him/associate with him/whatever the fuck you want. To me, he's the enemy - a lowlife hanging around here for whatever the fuck reason he might have, but it's a free country that way too, I guess.

What's with this "Mr. All-or-Nothing" line? And what could possibly make you think I have ever or would ever switch my favorite team? Certainly nothing I've ever said in 16 or so years in here.

Clearly you aren’t paying attention, old man. I fucking hate the Lions. Been clear about that.

You better at least pay attention to your wife. She might have a second-favorite husband on the side. What’s good for the goose, all that.

We can all breathe a sigh of relief:

Chargers players crawl through ceiling panel to escape stuck hotel elevator
Updated 10:58 PM CDT, August 23, 2024

DALLAS (AP) — Several Los Angeles Chargers players and other members of the travelling party crawled through a ceiling panel to escape a stuck hotel elevator Friday night.

The NFL said on social media that around 7:30 p.m. Dallas Fire-Rescue assisted the people on the elevator through the ceiling panel to an adjacent elevator.

“The Los Angeles Chargers thank Dallas Fire-Rescue for their quick response, professionalism and substantial efforts ensuring everyone’s safety,” the team said.

The Chargers are set finish the preseason Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Los Angeles will open the regular season at home Sept. 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

In Utah.

Scott Campbell had several wives and never once said about a second team.

Trey Lance with an interesting stat line today. Ran 11 times for 90 yards and a TD. Threw for 323 yards with 1 TD and 5 INT's.

[Fritz]

That was a great stat line right up until the very end.

Never before have I been so concerned about other teams’ second-string kickers. I will be watching the waiver wire as if I were Guter.

Ouch. I hope the Packers can keep spreading the ball around enough to keep the prices of their receivers down a bit.

I was out mowing the lawn - until the belt broke - and listening to the Detroit sports radio in the garage. Apparently the Loins - and the fans and the talking heads - are all a little concerned about their own kicker, that USFL guy Jake Bates. It seems he missed a fairly easy kick in their last exhibition, and has not been super impressive in camp. So maybe when the Loins play the Pack, it'll be like that Cinci game three years ago where the two kickers took turns missing game-winning kicks. Twice each, I believe, before Crosby finally knocked one through.

nah, word is going around that we have 4 legit #1 wrs

we're gonna have 4 guys that are gonna get paid like #1s

we honestly might not be able to keep any of them

[run pMc]

Used to be QB, LT, CB and pass rusher were the big 4, WR is muscling its way into that.

I think given the number of quality WRs coming out each year in the draft, teams are going eventually get smart and keep drafting vs. extending some of these guys. I like the WRs Gute drafted, I think he can find more if he invests in the position. For example, I love Jayden Reed and think he is probably going to get PAID when it's time, but I don't think he's going to be worth $35-40M, and I don't think his body will hold up (he got hurt plenty last year) over that next contract. You end up with a $40M paperweight on your cap.

A top WR gets what... 8-12 targets per game if healthy? They also pull coverage, etc., but if you have 65-70 plays per game, it's not like they handle the ball a lot. I think you will have to draft a receiver each year, almost like you need to draft OL.
Is WR going to be the next RB? Can find plenty of them all over the draft board, every year?

[SudsMcBucky]

Can find plenty of them all over the draft board, every year?

Absolutely you can, especially with the way the college game has evolved over the last 5-10 years.

[Fritz]

Any word on kickers who've been cut that might be of interest to the Packers?

The Loins only kept four wide receivers on their 53, though they actually only kept 52 players and so have an open roster spot. I wonder if they'll snag DuBose?
