AP/EP/CP/EIEIO:
Today Minnesota Vikings owner Ziggy Wilf contacted Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver.
Even though Driver is still under contract with the Packers.

When questioned about this, Wilf said "I contacted Driver to ask him if he would be willing to let us borrow his "Dancing With the Stars" mirror ball trophy for a few months. We have this HUGE Super Bowl trophy case, with nothing in it but dust. We figured if Driver would let us borrow his trophy, we could put it in the trophy case, and just turn it around so no one would see the "Dancing With the Stars" name. Then, we would have a plaque made up that said it was the Vikings first Super Bowl trophy. As no Vikings fan has ever seen a REAL Super Bowl trophy, we figured we could pull it off. It might just bring some people in and give us some backing for our new stadium."
Driver could not be reached for his reaction.

(Sorry....i couldn't resist!) LOL!

I am a woman and I love football.

Nice one, Cheesey.

Now that Favre's retired, I can't see Driver on MN anyways. More likely da Bears will make a play for him. He'd be a better fit there.

Did Driver actually win a DWTS trophy? I don't have TV so don't know. (well, I have a TV but it's attached to a DVD player and not hooked up to anything).

Dur Dur look at me, I'm unique, I don't have a TV and rather than check the interGoogle I'll tell everyone as such! 🙂

Yes, he won, it's even been posted in the shoutbox. Oh. Em. GEEEE

Seriously, do you really need a TV now? All the good shows you can buy or watch through the library. I'm watching True Blood and Mad Men on DVD. No commercials.

To catch Packers games, I go to a sports bar. I really don't think I'm that unique.

And no, I didn't see that chat post.

I don't like watching Packers in a bar. Too many idiots. Plus I like chatting with people on the site during the game and take notes occasionally when I feel like writing an article.

I do agree, having a TV isn't really needed, yet people always give me this surprised look when they find out I don't have Cable of any kind. My TV is used for the occasional video game, movie night with my daughter and Packers games. At the rate it's used, I figure I'll retire before it does.

Nah, that's fucked up.

People without TV's are usually messed up in the head.

It could be a coincidence, but I really don't think so.

Maybe 5 years from now it's all good, but chances are that if you are rollin' without the tube in 2012, I got even odds you are a fr
iggin' nut-job, and at a bare-minimum, eccentric.

Yeah, they usually end up being unibombers or serial killers of some kind. We've got seven TV's scattered throughout the house and three computers.

wpr (14m) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (20h) : 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.
