Copy paste... saves time.. what I left there.

As a Packer fan, I do think it is disappointing to hear this. While I am not the biggest Colledge fan, I think he should have been offered a chance to be there.

The only thing I will say, part of the reason may have been timing due to the lockout pushing the trip into the preseason and then trying to deal with other camps scheduling and so forth.

That said.. an effort could have been made to at least invite the starters for them last season.

One additional note.. maybe the Packers did try and there is more to it than what Colledge knows at the moment..

Not excusing it.. but sometimes there is more to the story.. IE Rodgers airport deal.

What if that happened? The Packers would've come off looking good, wouldn't they? It would've been a PR win, regardless.

I mean, the least they could've done was extend an invite to those former players, stating the time and place, leaving the logistics to the players themselves.

Never mind the fact that he would be re-joining a different roster after already signing a contract with an entirely different team. Am I the only one that sees the problem there?

If the trip takes place in March, like normally, this is less of an issue and Colledge is there. Some of the blame has to be shared by the NFLPA in this gripe that Colledge has.

Doesn't change the fact that the Packers should have offered and then let it become a product outside their direct control... albeit it would have placed undue blame on the Cardinal organization whom only part in it is they signed a free agent.

You know this country is starting to get filled with more and more thin skinned babies who want to cry about everything. I heard that after Obama said since he's a share holder the Packers should initiate a trade to send Rodgers down to the Bears. Apparently the following day they issued a statement that Obama likes Jay Cutler and doesn't want him traded. Seriously?

Never mind the fact that he would be re-joining a different roster after already signing a contract with an entirely different team. Am I the only one that sees the problem there?

If a player helped the Packers win the Super Bowl, my first thought, bring them along, but then adding in they signed with one of the 31 enemies, I say hell no. They LEFT the Packers so they unfortunately miss out thanks to the Lock Out (which the Players initiated). The Packers also missed out on their Friday practice to attend the White House.

I could be mistaken, it's just how I viewed it from everything I painfully read.

Muddled waters.. in short, both parties carry (in my mind) equal blame for the initiation of the Lockout.

The Owners gave too much and the Players got unreasonable. And then the Owners were greedy white bitches. Which caused Daryn Colledge to get sand in his vagina because the Packers did the right thing by not bringing players of other teams to the White House.

Different path, same result. Weeeee. Doggggie!

wpr (13h) : 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.
