Zero2Cool,

I should add I hope there are no hard feelings. I just wanted to find a forum that didn't involve the nonsense BS beat downs that are found in many others. I like exchanging ideas about what the future holds for our Packers. This is all pure fan speculation. I guess that's where I got a little bent. I respect Ted, and I'm clearly just a fan, like you.

There are no guarantees with any selection. Just hoping we load up - especially on pass rush, to make a more legit run at the Lombardi Trophy in 2012-2013.

Even though I think your trade next years round one pick is insane, it doesn't mean I don't appreciate you throwing it down as a suggestion. Hell, how would you like my suggestion of paying my car payment? 😉

With all due respect, play2cool, this is why it is a good idea to lurk for a while in a forum before starting to post. In particular, it is a good idea to read existing threads and posts -- and contribute to a few -- before starting your own threads. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying your well-thought-out contributions are not appreciated -- they most certainly are! -- but I think if you had spent an hour or so reading, you would have seen a few things that would have been helpful to you:

1) Although a great group of guys, this is a very abrasive and sarcastic board. It just is. You have to expect it and deal with it, or you won't like it here at all. We are always here for each other when the shit hits the fan, but we are not a nice group of people by any stretch of the imagination.

2) In addition to being sarcastic, we also don't take ourselves very seriously here, so it is quite possible you will receive ironic, facetious responses even if people agree with you.

3) A casual review of existing threads would show that a lot of potential trades have already been hashed, rehashed, and in many cases, thoroughly repudiated here. In particular, members here tend to be pretty hostile to the notion of trading future draft picks for players.

Your proposals have been among the most well-reasoned and well-written we've seen here, but they were bound to provoke a rather strong reaction on this board. Spending a while lurking and soaking up the vibe of this place would have prepared you for that, so you wouldn't have felt the need to be so defensive when the reaction came. Every online community has its own unique culture, its own "in crowd" and its own renegades. Lurking can also help you absorb the culture and figure out where you fit in, helping you to avoid unnecessarily stepping on toes or committing some unintended infraction. I'm not saying you did any such thing, just that a bit of reading would have made you more familiar with who we are as a group.

These are just a few hints to help you integrate here. You're going to have to develop a slightly thicker skin if you want to get along here. Otherwise you probably won't like many of us, and you'll hate our resident peanut gallery of assholes, including dakotaT, nerdmann, and myself.

Welcome to the boards. I look forward to seeing more of your contributions in the future. But feel free to participate in current threads in addition to creating your own.

Oh, and another hint: The owner of this board, Zero2Cool, frequently and shamelessly trolls threads -- and he is downright intolerable in the gameday chat room. I actually sometimes put him on ignore in his own chat room, he gets so obnoxious.

It's just part of who we are.

I'm not a big fan of trading up in the first and second round unless your team is loaded. Our team is loaded on offense, but not so much on defense. We need all of our picks because if you only hit on half of them, then the six players making the team are your future. It's the old Jimmy Johnson approach and it has served us well over the last five years. The last thing I ever want is for GB to be run like the Sherminator operated, like we were only one player away from the super bowl every year. In actuality we had gaping holes everywhere and had arena league players filling out our roster.

Sure, trades are often shot down here, but that doesn't mean a trade should not be mentioned because it's unlikely to be completed or even considered. You never know what a comment may inspire that was not said previously. Everyone has the potential to have a different reason for a trade to happen, or not happen.

  • Rourke likes to say things degrading the board just to get under my skin, hah.

  • I disagree with the notion the group here is far from nice. e.g. Alan's surgery, Troy's little girl, family members lost ... etc ... nice people do not do those things.

    I think PackersHome is more like a "family"... where it's okay for ME to knock my brother, but if someone else tries, they will get a beat down like they never knew could happen.
  • Very true, I don't think anyone takes themselves too seriously here.
  • Going over old threads is always fun an interesting. It wouldn't hurt do that, but I don't believe it is required.[/list]
