I expected more actually. With the quotes of him going off the field celebrating that he knocked Favre out of the game.

Part of the severity is that he was obstructing the investigation. I don't see any reductions for this.

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

My guess is that they'll have a roster exemption for those 8 weeks. And everyone but Vilma is allowed to participate in offseason stuff. So I wouldn't cut him before week 9 -- if you cut him and only re-signed him then, my guess that is when the 8 week suspension starts.

Green Bay Packers DE Anthony Hargrove will be able to participate in offseason workouts, training camp and preseason games before his eight-game suspension begins.

Unlike many, I was expecting Hargrove to be suspended. But I was expecting 2-4 games.

Goodell ain't got a small hammer these days.

I wonder why nothing happened to the rest of the "22-27 involved players" (the number that got quoted over and over).

I knew he was gonna get a punishment when Goodell cited Peyton lied and tried to cover things up as a reason for the extra hard punishment.

Reportedly the reason the other players weren't punished is because the NFL doesn't have anything citing they promoted the program nor took part in it. Where they feel they have proof these players have.

Though I have to admit it is disappointing that only two players currently on the Saints got in trouble IF they were doing this as a program as a whole defense.

But I agree with the other part... the Packers can keep him until week 9... and then choose what they want to do with him. If they keep him, they'll have to find a spot for him... but if someone gets badly injured they could just put that player on the IR and have Hargrove fill the spot. Or they could cut a player that isn't living up to his spot. Or just cut Hargrove... he signed a one year deal so he might not be back after this season, where other guys might longer contracts.

After what we took in the draft, I could care less what we do with this guy.

Well the good news is that both our games against the Sperm helmets are in the second half of the season. Anthony will be fresh, and we already know he hates the color purple.

I hoped the fine would be 3-4 games but expected more. Outside of Federal court (He should file in Minny, they a sniveling wimps when it comes to the little man's rights vs the big back corporation up there.) he has no chance for a reduction with Goodell doing the appeal work for his own punishment.

Zero2Cool (2h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (5h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (5h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (6h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (6h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (6h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (7h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (7h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (7h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (7h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (7h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (7h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (7h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (7h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (9h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (9h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (9h) : 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.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
