Ted's Biggest Screw Up

[RashanGary]

EDIT:

Useless topic. Everyone is wrong. We just have to live, learn and have fun taking the lumps along the way

[StPaulPackFan]

His position on Chad Jackson alienated him from this board.

I don't buy it.

His ego/stubboness alienated him from the board. We live in a big boy world. You take your lumps, and move on, or you perish.

Lombardi said, "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up." Well PackerPro42 decided not to get up.

He could still come back, take a little grief from BallHawk, and get back to posting. We all say stupid stuff. So what.

Scott, first off let me say that I usually find your posts quite enjoyable. You inject a subtle, and sometimes not so subtle sarcasm to many discussions.

Secondly, I agree, PackerPro42 has a healthy ego and is very stubborn. But seriously, how many of us who post here don't possess those qualities, at least to some extent? At times he could be abrasive. Because of this, he did seem to get ganged up on quite a bit when he posted something that was not popular opinion. I haven't talked to him lately about why he stopped posting here but I'm guessing he probably found a forum that is more Draft specific. He's a Packer fan but he's more of an NFL Draft fan than anything else. Plus, I think getting ganged up on gets old after a while.

I turned him onto this board because I find most of the discussions engaging. Plus, most information that is posted on the internet about the Packers ends up here very quickly. I personally have tired of the "gang up" threads and the "See, I was right" threads and the "See, you were wrong" threads. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, whether they are wrong or right.

[Freak Out]

It says in the book burn and destroy...and rumble thee forth to the land of the unbelieving scum.

Many more experts (of course my memory is not what it used to be) thought the Packers would be mediocre at best than thought they would contend for a title...... therefore the PackerRats experts (my gin/koolaide drinking self included) are much wiser and forward thinking than the paid sports ranters out there are.

...of course the wheels could still come off but the odds of that happening are way down at this point. Things should only get keep getting better. I bashed TT in the past and am sure I will at some point in the future...it's not a perfect world after all.

[the_idle_threat]

A little humble pie is warranted for those who acted as obnoxious know-it-alls. But at this point, the humble-pie-servers are becoming at least as annoying and repetitive as the original offenders ever were.

Let's move on, folks.

Worthless topic.

All great points; I do love the crow eating thread though. Self confessions is far superior to the I told you so's and mutiple thread bumping to embarrass/cut somebody else IMO

[HarveyWallbangers]

These two threads are great. Keeps things confined. People now know what these threads are about, and they don't have to read them if they don't want to. The way some of these folks acted, they deserve this. Maybe it will make them think about how they sound before they post such crap this offseason. Well, probably not. I still think one or more of these people are Tank and/or Harlan.

Yeah, I especially enjoyed Merlin's self confession.


I'm guessing Bart would agree with you B. And I'm guessing Max would be busting balls with me.

Tell him I said hello. It'd be nice if he could join us again.

I'm worried about the Packnut. We haven't seen him for weeks now. Let's review the FACTS:

1) He's a self proclaimed degenerate gambler.
2) His handicapping of the Packers this season gives you a good idea of his skill as a gambler. (Yes, I know this is not a fact, but afterall the post is dedicatd to Packnut)
3) He's absolutely sure that he's smarter than the rest of us idiots.


Conclusion: He's taking a dirt nap courtesy of his bookie.

I really liked PackerPro; tell him I say hi as well.

Thanks, I will send him your regards.

Me also, please. I miss his posting as well.

I understand why he left, I've contemplated it a few times as well. Tried several times to point out the "ganging up" mentality, but it's fallen on deaf ears. I recognize that it's been on both sides of the aisle, but I cling to the false hope that when they've finished this latest round of "bashing" they'll hang it up for good. Personally, I think it's pretty silly to be claiming victory in week 10, but I guess they could've done it in week 6, so I guess I'm grateful.

thanks also for your common sense postings above, I'm sorry they were met with a few "denials". It's inevitable, I guess.

Initially, I thought this too. I don't think this any longer. I'm more than a little concerned something "unhealthy" has happened. He was too stubborn to just wander away...

You might have thought he was a jerk, but, I'd hope that's the extent of it.

He was a jerk - once in a while. Just like most of us. I hope he wanders in, so we can rib him, and then move on to our regularly scheduled programming.
