Griffith signs with Raiders

[gureski]

It was directed to you only with the intent to explain what happened. I wasn't saying you said certain things, I was explaining why this blow-up happened. There were a number of people, whom are quoted in one of my early posts, that were saying the things I mention about Thompson needing to be fired and the season having been lost already.

I was merely bringing you up to speed on why things happened, not accusing you of saying it.

I did defend you, mainly because you were lumped into a lunatic fringe reference with another poster that doesn't have a lot of crediblity.'' KYPack

KYPack:

Who is this other poster who you state. . .

doesn't have alot of credibility?

I am digesting at his point in time that you are referring to me. That doesn't feel too good.

Oh wait a second. I should have thick skin?

NO !!

I should have a fair opportunity to debate and defend my SELF. Noone on this forum deserves to have to sustain backhanded stabs,snide or rude remarks or pêrsonal attacks based in ignorance.

Is that the direction we want to go to on this forum? Personal attacks and judgements based in ignorance and prejudice?

I'm negative because I'm a Canadian is bullshit and holds no water.I'm sometimes negative because my reactions to the affairs of the Packers is simply negative.

DAM it.

RG has defended his position on the loss of Ahman Green more than just OK. Yet no matter how that loss came about. I feel that as a collective (forum) we have to get past that now.

Can we let this die already?

Believe this.

I most often and have now read this entire thread. See my last post.

Woody, KY was talking about Tank, not about you. Somebody made a post that lumped together Retailguy and Tank.

I'm with you.

Whatever.. .but thanks for the post all the same.

This past week has been very difficult to be a concerned Packer fan.

I believe if we take Ahman Green out of the picture that there is still time for Ted Thompson to make a recovery.

I do question the fact he was unable to sign Justin Griffith.

A very bright man once said something to the effect:

''If as people observing a situation, we believe that we know all that went on to contribute to a result. Then we are most often mistaken.''

[the_idle_threat]

That's a very good quote, Woody. 8)

My 2 cents on Griffith, as I wrote elsewhere, is that I was surprised we didn't sign him too. He seemed to be a good fit, and it looks like he was not too expensive. But then I remembered that even the best rookie fullbacks are often drafted in the low rounds. Griffith isn't the only option out there.

My gut feeling after he left Green Bay:

That he wouldn't be a Packer. I based that on his talent, fit and age and OUR needs for such a player.

As I recall the Charles Woodson signing.The coming and the goings of players shouldn't necessarily signify a given result for or against us. I just had a gut feeling that Griffith was gone.

OK Buck.

Calm down by a factor 10 or so.

Yeah, the "2nd man" to which I refer was the world famous goofball, Tank.

I didn't refer to him by name because my "Tank-hate" is pretty well chronicled by now, & I don't wanna keep bringing that up because it can be annoying to some.

"I am digesting at his point in time that you are referring to me."

Then you have a case of indigestion.

If I was gonna attack ya, I'd name ya and we'd go at it. I've never been known as the "shy guy".

As far as my attacking you for being a Canadian, my credentials as a Anti-Canadian, Anti-moose-jumping Canuck hater speak for themselves.

Take the afor-mentioned chill pill, bro.

As far as ending this thread, I say no.

This is the best thread on here since everybody yelled at Mazzin for her inability to read the piss sticks.

Something else that may have happened is they gave Jagodzinski a call and ask him his thoughts on Griffith from his days in Atlanta. And perhaps Jags didn't give them such a glowing report.

Another interesting possibility ...

[HarveyWallbangers]

Wouldn't they have called him before bringing him in for a visit?

Seems like they would have done that research before taking the time and money to bring him in. Bringing a guy in for a visit signals that a team has serious interest in the player. Research should have been completed by the time the player visited.

Possibly. But then again, maybe they had questions that came up as a result of the visit. The point is that we really don't know.
