Who the hell invited Mr. Happy. :)

Zombie, I think you and I would have made a very dangerous tag team back in the day.

now i'm confused - you don't want us to take it to a personal level but you want us to be personally responsible for the wrongdoings of our forefathers & seek the forgiveness of people who aren't even alive any more?!? impossible, no?

i love ya dakota but we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

Have we even talked about 1 white athlete? Are we suppose to compare the "scrappy, hustling" white guy who doesn't have much ability but maximizes all he has to lithe, swift and extremely talented Black athlete? 🤷

All I want is for people to expand their thinking past the end of their selfish noses and recognize the welfare we all received. We have it good and should quit bitching about petty shit.

And WPR - my favorite white athlete of all time was Paul Mokeski.

Baseball would have been Enos Slaughter but I didn't want to include a HOFer or someone I didn't watch play so I went with Tom Herr.

Football- John Jurkovic. There were more than 4 players I would have posted until I realized they didn't qualify since they were in the Packer Hall (Winters and Mc Carren)or they were white athletes. Too bad. They really hustled. Guys like Wm Henderson and Gilbert among many others.

Funny thing is I don't think about a player as being White, Black or some other race. I think of them as being Packers or some other team. I forget to look beyond the uniform. (Much more difficult to do in basketball but with a small tv screen even then it is possible.) Later I am surprised to learn what they look like. No matter who they are.

But for getting tail, it's easier not to be white. From experience.

Simple point.. you can make any life situation racial if you truly want to.. or gender based.. or even economic I would imagine.

That said.. I think it pretty evident that today's American society suffers from economic class bias more than any other bias hands down.. and that divide isn't closing in the least.

Money and political power verse the rest of the population.

I think I'm going to go with Zombie on this one, because the black kids we bring up to our colleges for sports have to beat the big butted German girls around here off with a stick.

Just kidding - getting girls is absolutely about confidence, sense of humor, and the perceived impression that you are having a good time no matter what you are doing.

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

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.
