Sorry to put another negative on an already negative day and season, but Dan Carpenter is a former Montana Grizzly that I got to know a few years ago when he was a senior and I helped his new holder in getting the snaps down and the right angle of the ball.

Dan is a great kid, from Helena, MT., and was back this summer to help out at a young kids football camp. I met up with him and we had lunch together, with his parents, Lex Hilliard (Dolphins), and the Titans rookie returner Marc Mariani....both former Grizzlies.

Guess Alumni is thicker than water..............."FOLLOW THE GRIZ OR RUN WITH A BEAR BEHIND."

Well, that's a nice heartwarming story. Unfortunately, I'm not in the mood for nice heartwarming stories right at the moment, especially when they are about the player who just beat us. But whatever.

Not really the time Bob, not really a good time at all.

That is pretty awesome.

Like you said, the negative part is that this is Dolphins related and that everyone seems to lose his mind over here after a loss, but apart from that, it's a pretty cool story.

Bob- I'm currently a student at UM. I wasn't around for Carpenter's years, but I know if Mariani ran back a kick to beat us I'd have some mixed emotions!

Why.. because in the end this is just a game.. and nothing more than a game.

I am the first to say, 99% of the time I am guilty of putting more into it than a game.. no doubt.

That said.. when the sting of a loss or the high of a win wears off.. it is the underbelly stories like this that truly make the game special and worth it all.

It is a way to look beneath the helmet and be happy for a young man that just looked the that pressure filled barrel, from an abstract part of the football landscape and succeeded.

Yes it beat our team.. but it still doesn't mean it isn't a worthy look anyway.

Zero2Cool (9m) : The menu you expanded to log in, it's the first icon under "PackersHome" .. maybe i should add text to it
dfosterf (14m) : Feelin' pfowish can't find the sun. No big deal, will drag a laptop out when the time comes
Zero2Cool (30m) : if you're on mobile, open the menu and its the "sun" icon
dfosterf (32m) : Can't find the toggle, lol
dfosterf (32m) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .
Zero2Cool (38m) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.
dfosterf (1h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes
dfosterf (1h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same
dfosterf (1h) : *Friday*
dfosterf (1h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy
dfosterf (1h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)
dfosterf (1h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from
dfosterf (1h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy
Zero2Cool (1h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!
dfosterf (1h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40
dfosterf (1h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in
packerfanoutwest (1h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?
beast (2h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...
beast (2h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based
beast (2h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based
beast (2h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?
dfosterf (2h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol
dfosterf (2h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.
dfosterf (2h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise
dfosterf (2h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...
beast (9h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...
dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
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?

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
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.
