You know Finland, denying how much you're Swedish is kind of like some of the good ol' boys I knew back in Texas who would exclaim how heterosexual they were. You're not a quarter Swedish, are you?

Silver's column was good, but his feeling about Favre-Vikings Part 2 was a pretty common one--maybe even the consensus. Here's what Don Banks had to say:

And Cheesey's "No Moss" pun was simply amazing.

I tend to immediately dismiss any statement that begins with a superlative and ends in the word "ever," because in my experience, it's never remotely true. The title of this thread is no exception.

It must be rough to take everything literally. I barely even noticed the thread title, because I assumed right away that it was a lighthearted exaggeration.

No, I wouldn't have put that as the title if it really wasn't the most prophetic article ever. Do you actually think I really would have resorted to said light-hearted exaggeration? Hell no!

(nonstop gets sarcasm, right?)

I predicted at the start of the season that the Vikes would not make the playoffs.

I also though predicted that the Jets would be one season wonders and Pittsburgh would fail miserably.

If I forget the Jets and Steelers predictions I would look prophetic as well.

Now I look pathetic.

And after all it is only half way through the season so there are still many intangibles that could happen.

The Vikings season is going pretty much how I expected. If they lose to AZ I will actually be dead on for my prediction for their record.

But if they are out of it after the AZ game, Favre will have no reason to play and end his season prematurely. I would like them to be on the edge of elimination all season, vainly chasing that slim hope... into the abyss.

That is my dream ending for Favre's career. A soft splat quietly in the distance, with no meaning or relevance. Out of contention and out of hope... (Cue diabolical laughter)

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (6h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (7h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (8h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (8h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (10h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (20h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
