I continue to be impressed by how McCarthy is keeping this team focused on winning the game. Hopefully, it will carry over into next week down in Dallas.

GREEN BAY Aaron Rodgers is doing his homework leading up to his first appearance in the Super Bowl.

Besides studying up on the Steelers, the Green Bay Packers quarterback has reached out to other quarterbacks who have played in the Super Bowl to see what he should expect next week.

The Packers (13-6) will meet the Steelers (14-4) in Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

One of players whose brain Rodgers wanted to pick was Kurt Warner, who played in two Super Bowls with the St. Louis Rams and one with the Arizona Cardinals. Warner was the MVP of Super Bowl XXXIV and holds the record for most career passing yards in the Super Bowl with 1,156.

Kurt Warners been a great friend, really since I was drafted, Rodgers said Wednesday. And so I reached out to him about any advice he can give me this week, and the next week, (and) its readily appreciated. Im sure there will be more conversations with him.

I talked to a number of buddies who played in the Super Bowl before, and I think its important to learn from their experiences and try and find ways to stay focused. Im sure its going to be controlled chaos down there.

One can always tell how high and far a person will go in life by what they are willing to learn once they "Think" they know it all.

Aaron is that type of human being. It would be so easy for most people in his situation to THINK "Hey I am on top of the heap." excuse me... I need no advice, I got here and I need no advice.

He is a remarkable person.

For him to reach out. For him to ask. For him to say... "Let me learn form you."

It is just an example of how special he is, and will be to The Green Bay Packers forever.

Probably, but he'll have to leave a voicemail, only to never be called back :)

Hopefully he can get some good advice from Warner. One thing I heard this week that Tom Brady had told a teammate during their last SB appearance was to pace himself, because everybody gets so worked up in the SB and they are running on fumes by halftime. Seeing as how we have such a young team, I really hope McCarthy can deliver the same advice.

Chances are...Even though you were an open target.

TheKanataThrilla (36m) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (20h) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (20h) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Wife of reason posted on the in/out thread on fleaflicker that both she and vor are in

Mucky Tundra (7-Aug) : Tbh, I can never tell the difference in speed unless it's completely shitting the bed

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : watch it!! lol

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : you're right, we never did leave, the site just went down :P

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from
