I like Ricky Williams. Dude is tough and runs hard. Yeah, he smokes weed. And Cassius Clay didn't submit to the military draft. Some things are more important than football.

Define "mentally unstable", please?

1. Smokes weed?
2. Walks to a different drummer?
3. Too influenced by New Age ideas?
4. Suffers from social anxiety?
5. Has had to deal with depression?
6. Something else?

Agree with everything else you said, though.

I didn't mean mentally unstable as in shooting down everyone in a mall or something, but yeah, when number 4 and 5 make you give up on everything and everyone, run away and then eventually come back again, it's just not right, somewhere. Although, like I said, I can find some respect for his decision and actions somewhere.

It's not as much an insult as you seem to think... I think of myself as mentally unstable, as well.

And having had the dubious privilege of meeting you in person, I can testify to the veracity of that claim. [aiee]

I'm looking forward to seeing Green play. Ted Thompson seemed to really like him as he drafted him higher than most had him rated. And I like TT's ability to judge talent.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I thought that this kid is going to have some determination and heart.

Character is forged in adversity. Sounds like he has had his fair share.

Like Driver and Jones.

My point is he took his bonus and went off to get high instead of play. When they took the money back and he realized, no money=no weed=no friends who hung around for the free smoke.

If Green takes his money and goes off to experience pharmacological phyto-unity , it would suck for those who pay him to play football.

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

dfosterf (42m) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (2h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (2h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (2h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (4h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (15h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (20h) : 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.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
