I just find it interesting how the world works sometimes.

In 2020 the Green Bay Packers got two players from Liberty High School in Bakersfield, California. Namely 1st round pick QB Jordan Love and undrafted free agent LB Krys Barnes.

Despite sitting on the bench for three years, and not getting much on field value out of QB Love, the Packers reward him with a starting opportunity in 2023 (it's probably deserved, I don't mean to imply it's wrong, just pointing out the oddities of life and ever changing).

Meanwhile ILB Barnes became an unlikely starter, giving the Packers absolutely great value out of an UDFA contract, and his reward? A pink slip...

Life sometimes seems strange... the guy that gave great on field value so far gets punished and the guy that gotten poor on field value gets rewarded...

Supply and demand... there was a large supply of ILB and not enough demand for his services, and a huge demand for QBs and not a big enough supply of them.

Sorry, just my rantings, I was thinking it would be cool for these two highschool teammates to keep being teammates, sadly looks like that time is over.

True professional. Never complained about lack of playing time. I don’t really understand not bringing him back, but whatever.

More of a thumper. Barry's "system" needs guys that can run and cover. Barnes is a good player tho.

I like Krys but it was inevitable that he wasn't a long term solution. Hopefully someone picks him up. I hope he can get 5 years in. If not he is still one of the very few people that can proudly say that he played in the NFL.

Cheesey (2-Jun) : Kevin on "The View". ..."Kevin, are you a right wing or left wing? ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!" Kevin:"I'm a CHICKEN wing!"🤪

Zero2Cool (2-Jun) : I think people like those "reality" shows feel insecure in their life, so watching others to put them down makes them feel better.

Zero2Cool (2-Jun) : EVERY. DAMN. TIME. Alan, EVERYDAMNTIME!! lol

Cheesey (2-Jun) : Kevin on "Maury" ...."Kevin....you ARE the father!!!"😄😁😜😁

Cheesey (2-Jun) : But I guess someone must, as they show that crap in TV. So someone cares about who's house is sold. You and I aren't ones that do!😁

Cheesey (2-Jun) : I know. I don't get why anyone would want to watch "Honey Boo Boo", or knocked up teens, or Kardashians. What a waste of time and effort.

Zero2Cool (2-Jun) : I would like more stories about the players, their lives, etc ... not former this/that house sold. Just me, I'm not the ruler of the world ... Y-E-T!!! muwahahaha

Zero2Cool (2-Jun) : I'm sure a lot of people find it interesting. Some people all like to watch grass grow and paint dry. That's the beauty of life!!

Cheesey (2-Jun) : There must be some people that care about who's home is being sold. Just like who cares what trashy family does what on TV.

Zero2Cool (31-May) : What are the benefits?

umair_010 (31-May) : I drink it every week. There is a store in Chicago that sells it. You have to sign a waiver saying its for pets and not human consumption

Zero2Cool (31-May) : Alan, I'm probably the smartest clueless dork ya know lol

Cheesey (31-May) : Creamed spinach on cornbread! Yummy!!!

Cheesey (31-May) : Zero, you don't know about cornbread? Good stuff!

Cheesey (31-May) : We had a friend in north Wisconsin that had a cow. We would have fresh milk. So good! Hard to go back to the other stuff.

umair_010 (30-May) : Any of you from Wisconsin drink raw milk?

Zero2Cool (30-May) : What is cornbread? Is that like redneck gluten free bread?
