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."

Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

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!

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

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.

dfosterf (4h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (4h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (4h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (4h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (5h) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (5h) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (5h) : *years

Mucky Tundra (5h) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (5h) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (5h) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (5h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (5h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (5h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (6h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (8h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (8h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (9h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Packers introduce 1923-inspired classic uniform, leather-look helmet

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Both LB Quay Walker and Rookie DB Micah Robinson have passed their physicals

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Happy to see site feels more snappy snappy

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

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.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.

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

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
