Stupid. I guess "If you build it, they will come" doesn't apply here.

Look at the bright side, folks. The red light district is probably disease free.

They don't even HAVE a red light district. I bet they consider the 'old' town the red light district.

Well, then think of the business opportunities that await you. No competition!

Hard to live in a city where you won't have a job.

I didn't have time this morning to post my whole comment.

This Chinese city reminds me of when the Brazil government decided to move their capital 700 miles west of Rio de Janeiro and create a new capital- Braslia.

I remember my teacher thinking it was a bit of a white elephant to move the capital so far away from where the vast majority of the people lived.

But by moving the federal government there were jobs in the new city.
It is now a city with over 2,500,000 residents with another 1,000,000 in the surrounding suburbs so it seems to have worked out for them.

If the Chinese were to build a couple of manufacturing plants in Ordos the people will go there.

buckeyepackfan (12h) : 1 NFC South @ NFC West @ AFC West other 3 games,

buckeyepackfan (12h) : Packers play NFC East and AFC North in 2025, plus 2 other games

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Geeze Zero get it right!😋

Zero2Cool (14h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (15h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (18h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (18h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (19h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (19h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (19h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (20h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (20h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (20h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (22h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
