This place is cosy, in a non cabin fever kind of way. I really wouldn't want to talk Packers elsewhere.

I... I am a football junkie.. I will talk it, watch it, debate it, argue over it.. and used to play it whenever, wherever I can...

I am an addict... hell I watch youth football and start breaking down players... borderline illness.. lol.. so I hit football sites.

I am a member of a Charger, Raider, Bengal, Viking and Florida State forum as well... probably will have to find another college program to embrace now that Bobby was forced out..

Needless to say.. I roam and talk football a bunch. This is home though.. because of the people.

I knew you would join in this conversation. I am really proud of how long you were able to sit on the sidelines. That was real self restraint my friend.

Yes that was. I got to the point where I was skipping any conversation because it always ended up the same way. Kind of like how no matter what you talk about in a political forum, it always goes to Nazis/Adolph Hitler. At that point, any real dialog is over and it becomes a shouting match.

It wasn't so much a shouting match here as it was hearing the same thing over and over and over again. It got old.

I thought Kevin handled it pretty well. Kudos.

Eng - Exactly. It's about the right size. You don't want a site too big that it becomes impersonal, but too small that you never see any updates.

Pack - Why Chargers if I may ask? Chargers used to be my 2nd favorite team in the early 80s because I love the pass (nothing has changed). The Chargers kept it in the air all the time, and they were fun to watch. Then coincidently, the Packers started doing the same thing and I had lost interest in the Chargers.

Kellen Winslow, Dan Fouts, Charlie Joiner, John Jefferson and Don Coryell... mostly Kellen Winslow though.. dude was a rock of a tight end. I would watch all the Chargers football I could back then.. Municie was another favorite back then... never the greatest back in the world but I liked his grit.

I was young yet.. but I remember studying that offense and thinking damn that is how to exploit the game.. 30 years later.. many of the same principles are still in the game.

When John Jefferson came to the Packers is when I stopped watching the Chargers as we became the Chargers. Paul Coffman was not as good as Kellen Winslow, but he filled Winslow's role of being the 3rd target often in the middle of the field. Gerry Ellis was a poor man's Chuck Muncie. And as good as Joiner was, Lofton was better.

Fouts was a blast to watch, but Dickey had the better long ball. :wav:

Well growing up following the 70's predictable Packers offense.. when I caught the Chargers in the late 70's... it was so foreign to me that I had to learn about it.

We didn't get a ton of Charger games in Wisconsin.. so I would tape them on beta tapes and watch them again and again... I think my parent tossed them when they moved from the farm in the early 90's... I had probably 50, 60 tapes full of games or parts of them that I wanted to keep.. studying formations.. defenses.. players.. you name it...

I was also a diehard Tom Landry fan.. along with Starbach, Dorsett, Randy White, Ed Jones, Charlie Waters, Robert Newsome,Tony Hill and Drew Pearson.. I was young but one of the moments I never forgot in all these years...

Was this gem... [img_r]http://rootzoo.com/article_photo_uploads/DoomsDaddy_15299_8576.jpg[/img_r]

I'll always have a soft spot for Roger Staubach. First football I ever owned was a Roger Staubach football. It had instructions on how to properly throw a football. I followed them to a T.

People said I threw the ball hard and assumed it was because of a strong arm. It wasn't. It was all proper mechanics. Dang I wish I was there in Wisconsin sometimes. I'd show you what I mean.

I was seven or eight when I got my first football, and a die hard Packers fan and didn't hate the Cows until 1982. You probably know the moment I'm referring to.

Dorsett I have a soft spot for as well. He had elusive moves and was just fun to watch. I didn't know he passed up Jim Brown until recently. Weird to see he ended up so high on the all-time rushing list and played as long as he did.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
