    I hope he gets another chance. That does not mean I dismiss what he did, especially considering he was drunk driving, and a repeat offender. Had he killed someone, and given the tougher new conduct policy, his career would be in doubt.

    Above all else, you hope that he's reformed within himself, that he has sworn off alcohol, has treated/mastered his disease, has learned a lot during his legal process and his suspension, and that he's grown to appreciate what a privilege it is to play pro sports, and how quickly it can be taken away. I'm sure there were some tough days. Aside from the danger that he could have put someone else and himself being drunk behind the wheel, I think these issues are really self-destructive issues. Again, hopefully he has shown himself, his teammates and the league that he has his demons in check and he's ready to resume his career. Here's hoping there is a happy ending for K-Rob. I do believe alcoholism is a disease.

      Now, back to K-Rob.

      I see his help moreso as a fill-in at WR on occassion and as our punt returner, that way Woodson doesn't have to get hit any more than necessary. We likely will put him back on KO as well, but Tramon Williams is really showing some ability back there. There still needs to be improved blocking on the unit.

          Don't forget party D (yes, that's you Harlan), who's been giving his own one-sided "commentary" the entire time. I guess when you see yourself as omnipotent, you don't assign yourself a letter though.

          More shtick from another of your friends, hey Harlan?



          As far as Robinson goes there's no reason to not reinstate him. He served his time without any headlines. Outside of being recognized for saving homeless drunks from an abandoned house fire, that's the best you could ask for. Lining up a 4 WR set with DD, Jennings, JJ, and Krob all running around sounds appealing to me, but I would assume it takes until mid-November for him to become effective.

            Robinson could provide some of the needed help running slants. He has the size and speed to be a real threat in that function.

              I don't care about any of the parties.

              I asked Scott to end his holy crusuade. Listening to one Christian repeatedly demand repentence from another Christian was a bit ironic and stomach-turning. Scott went into counter-attack mode and I got stuck answering him. I just wanted this over-blown opera to end, preferably with laughter, because the crime involved was pretty silly.

              And what are you looking for by entering the fray ?

                I get the feeling that Harlan doesn't like Scott or Skin. Kind of strange since he always sticks up for the "misunderstood" ones. Personally, I think those two qualify for protection.

                  I'm sorry, did I need to ask your permission first?

                  I'm thoroughly convinced that all you want is for the drama to end. Thoroughly. Completely. Absolutely...


                  Oh, the humanity!


                  No, seriously. Completely. Absolutely. Thoroughly convinced. Totally.

                    I like Skinbasket.

                    I enjoy arguing with Skinbasket about politics because it's like picking the wings off of a fly. I confess to taking a cruel pleasure at his squirming. And he keeps coming back.

                    I don't ever dislike Skinbasket, even when he sprays a rectal mist my way.

                    Mostly I like Scott too. He's funny, and usually a decent fellow. When he goes on a mission, I do detest him.

                    I never defend people because I like them. Or even becasue they are misunderstood. I HATE when personal vendettas get rolling, especially when one side is in a more vulnerable position, like if people gang up.

                    • I reckon that's bullshit, but if it makes you feel happy. I doubt you would have taken Scott's side if the roles were reversed, but you liked that woody took a potshot at my supposedly "anti-Christian" stance. I liked the funny Harlan better. Where did he go?

                      If Woody is going to say dumb stuff, leave it up to him to defend himself. I was always one of Woody's biggest backers, but I don't know what happened to that guy either.

                          actually i did like it, I confess. not because it was a fair or appropriate thing to say. It was out of line.

                          I liked it because it made me laugh. There is something ironic about it.

                          I expected the Woodman to catch some flack. I just didn't want to see the bitter vibe dragged on with more demands for confession. I have a hunch Woody was embarassed enough.

                          • This is the biggest problem that I had with it. Woody says something like that, but has been posting stuff like this. Can you say hypocrite? This is from one post. He's had hundreds of posts like this.

                            What a bunch of candy ass's.

                            I'm clearly anti TT. Why would that be?

                            I don't like TT because he hasn't the skills to stand up and be counted. He has little respect for the fan and he has ignored the needs and skills of Brett Favre to enable the Packers to have any real opportunity to win.

                            Ted Thompson acts in so many ways like an egotistic coward.

                            TT continues to supply us with a watered down product.

                            The ego of this man is overwhelming at times.

                            People here are willing to allow TT this season and the result better be impressive or they will no longer toss their support blindly behind him.

                            For all that is sensible do you really believe that our team will be prepared to win in 2007?

                            or did he act like the shifty, bad assed (cocky). lazy and cheap with the purse strings GM that I see?

                            I certainly don't admire Ted Thompson, and I am sure I will see the day his ass is sent packing out of Green Bay?

                            He's a mere myth and alot of you here have created him.

                            Go on dreaming!!
