I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out what is so noteworthy about a player being willing to give up a pair of stinky cleats he didn't pay for and won't be wearing again. More than likely he would have simply tossed them in the garbage after the game anyway.

I think sometimes fans lose touch with just how tremendous the money is that these men are making. My household brings in less than $20,000 a year and we have everything we need and almost everything we could possibly want. I can't imagine what life would be like bringing in over $300,000 a year (the rookie minimum), much less the multiple millions per year a lot of the players earn. I don't think most fans have the capacity to do so either.

I don't make very much money, but if anyone on this board was in need of a pair of cleats, I'd buy it for them and probably wouldn't even blink. What's so special about a very rich man giving away a pair of cleats he didn't even buy?

He wore them during a game. He's awesome. Most players don't offer collector's items like this to fans. It's not the money that's the thing here, it's contact with the fans.

He wore them during the game, so they're special? That kind of thought process borders on fetishistic in my head.

Ever wanted an autograph? Some dude just writes on a paper and that's special?

And yeah, I think having a pair of cleats Bishop wore during a game would be great. It wouldn't change my life or anything but still.

No, I don't collect autographs either. For that matter, the only Packers memorabilia that I own is what other people have bought me. I don't even have an "authentic replica jersey," just some cheap knockoff that my wife bought me at the K-Mart outside Lambeau Field.

I don't cherish a pair of shoes just because my wife's feet have graced them, so I really don't get what's so special about a pair of shoes worn by a rich celebrity who doesn't know me and couldn't care less about me.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
