yeah I thought about Sooto (I still refuse to put the ' in his name.) but with so many LB he is really going to have to shine to get many snaps.
Same for Ryan Taylor. He may be too deep on the depth chart to get much of an opportunity.

I suppose no one has ever called you Kev (or Zero)
I call my daughter Amanda, Manda.
Apparently everyone who calls Robert Rob is dissing them. Christopher should never be call Chris. Don't even get me started on the various versions of Elizabeth. The list of names that is shortened is nearly endless and there is no malicious intent most of the time.

Although, since you mention this subject more indepth ... I think it's IDIOTIC to name a child one thing and then call them by the nickname for life. Why not just use that nickname for their name? Okay, idiotic is too strong ... I just don't don't understand it and shouldn't label it as I did. My angst comes from my daughters mother naming our child Rebecca then chewing me out everytime I say "Rebecca" instead of Becca. If you want her called Becca, why not name her that from the start?

You sure have a stick up your ass this morning, holy shit.

wow.

I didn't think I was being spiteful. All I said is I didn't want to use the damn apostrophe. And rabid I don't disagree with him having it in his name. It is his family's name not mine. Why should I disagree with it? I don't care one way or the other.

I am an incredibly horrible typist. If not for spell check I could not post without having 20 errors a comment. As a matter of fact I would not even post at all. (I have corrected 6 times already.)

My not using the apostrophe is simply a time saver for me. I am always hitting the wrong keys in the lower right corner of the broad.

Back to nicknames Kevin- For the most part I call my wife Rhonda, my daughter Amanda and my son David. I rarely use nicknames for any of them. (15 spelling corrections.)

As for So'oto (I hope you are all happy.) I gave some silly stupid reason last Summer for not using it. I don't even remember what I said. The real reason is I can't spell and (22 corrections.) I was trying to save my self some time. It is not as if no one ever abbreviates on a broad they are posting on. (24 times.)

lol ... food for thought ... count the characters you've typed regarding you refusing to put the ' in his name ... I think the 'lazy' route would have been to include the ' in his name from the start 😛

Truly, if I knew leaving the ' out had hurt his feelings I would be upset with myself. No malice was intended. (more typos.)

Zero2Cool (50m) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (50m) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (1h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (1h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (1h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (1h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (2h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (2h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (2h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (2h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (2h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (2h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (2h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (2h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (2h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (2h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (2h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (2h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (2h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (2h) : Packers will get in

beast (2h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (3h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (3h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (4h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (5h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (5h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (6h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (15h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (16h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (19h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating
