I wonder if him taking less to return to Green Bay makes it even more frustrating for him? It's a gutsy call by McCarthy to go with what he considers a better option when you have a guy like Henderson who did sacrifice a bit to return and has player a solid role for years.

This is the second time you've brought this up. Who's to say the same thing wouldn't have happened elsewhere? He may have just lost a step at the age of 35, and the same thing would have happened in Minnesota. You have to start the guy that is playing the best. Deep down, if Henderson isn't performing as well as Miree, he probably realizes it.

How's the guitar playing working out?

They can't sign Ponder; he has too much experience for TT's likings

Seriously, though, when Ponder was released the first time and I was pounding for TT to ponder Ponder (exuse the pun) I called up my NY Giant fanatic buddy and he felt Ponder was a capable #4 WR but had never been given much of a chance in NY. He also felt he was one of the top returners in the game and was baffled the Giants cut him.

dat's OK though; maybe TT will strike riches with one of these guys we've never heard of. Who knew of Gado last year ?

Cheers,
B

Minnesota has ZERO to do with it.....and I agree, I even said if McCarthy thought the other guy was better then I applaud him...it's just a weird dynamic I find interesting,sorry if it bugs you for some reason...


Oh, guitar playing is going well, how's the java coding going?

It sucks, but I don't do it for fun.

I used to program a little C for fun...but I think we are off track.....you did finally address my musing regarding Henderson though and if he's clearly been beat out and he knows it you're probably right......I really don't mean to beat that to death but I found it a real interesting sidenote...who knows he may get back on the field.


As far as Ponder goes, with Robinson heading off to the far reaches of the galaxy Ponder might be a good pickup. I know the Vikings got a huge shot in the arm with Bethel Johnson returning kicks Sunday. Like Ponder, he isn't going to give a team much at WR but could be an emergency type guy.....
