Skinniest fat kid... well I believe the theory goes, fat or skinny, they both have a World Championship ring.

Your logic is beyond reproach... as always!

At least you don;t have to worry about that theory of yours...with either Grant or Starks.


I am somewhat amused by you guys arguing Grant Vs Starks.
....reminds me of the old "who's the skinniest kid at fat camp debate"🤣

Who was the other All-Pro RB? Let's see - Jamaal Charles of Kansas City. The Chiefs won their division then got spanked 30-7 in the first round of the Playoffs. The Ravens out-passsed the Chiefs 248 yards to 53. If you can't throw the rock, you can't win Playoff games.

There's no doubt that your AP is an elite RB. He's arguably the best RB over the past 4 years. Took you guys pretty far last year. Oh yeah, you couldn't throw the ball last year so you ended up with a losing record. My sincerest apologies for bringing that up.

Personally, I had MJD on my fantasy team. He's been Pro Bowl the last two years and in those years, he went 7-9 and 8-8 respectively.

So Grant and Starks may never live up to the APs, the Chris Johnsons, the MJDs, and the Jamaal Charles's. Oh well. As long as they stay on the Green Bay Packers, they'll continue to get rings.

What do you want personally, VR? Do you want your favorite players collecting all the cool stats? Or do you want your favorite team to win it all?

I'll tell you what. You can have the former. I'll take the latter. Enjoy having arguably the best RB in the NFL, then watching us in the Playoffs while your team is vacationing in the Bahamas.

Talked to my dad today, he says the Packers would be stupid to start anyone instead of James Starks. He also said the Packers should trade Ryan Grant.

I respect my dad, but I had to throw down the facts. I told him Ryan Grant garnered back to back 1,200 yard seasons in a passing offense and only has 2.5 seasons under his belt, the Packers won't get the bonus money back if he's traded, and he's in a contract year that he wants to prove he's worth a new contract. I told him if the Packers had a major positional need, then maybe consider trading Ryan Grant, but leaving the RB position to James Starks and a rookie is foolish.

By the end of the discussion, he seen the light and said 'ok son, but James Starks will be starting by week 4'. I said, great, if that means Ryan Grant isn't producing, other wise the Packers should run the damn wheels off Ryan Grant because it's his last year of his contract. 🙂

Of all fantasy football positions, I think the RB is the most accurate. Grant was #8 in the NFL in his last year starting. If he's anything near that, then we want to keep him until he starts wearing down. RBs have short careers, and I'm sure Ted's well aware of this. Nothing against Grant. I like him as a person. But RBs who are good past 30 are very rare. He's 28 now.

Fan Shout
wpr (6h) : 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
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
