There's so much media fabricating with Rodger's status it's ridiculous. I heard Dion Sanders say "He's gotta be hurt, he would be playing against the cowboys if he wasn't in a lot of pain. They have to shut him down for the season". What an idiot.

What part do you see as sarcastic?

I find it hard to believe you or any fan would have a problem with him playing as soon as humanly possible. All this medical clearance crap would never have happened a couple of decades ago, and the league is worse for it now.

I actually think it would be very cool if Flynn took us to the playoffs. Shut these fuckers up about Rodgers being our only player. That said if Rodgers can play - he should. But be warned, he'll be rusty, don't expect us firing on all cylinders right off the bat. And if you do, shame on you.

“I think I may have mentioned rust last week. I think my definition of rust and other people’s is a little different. I would rely on the guys, their answers to see how they thought I looked last week. I felt pretty good.”

He'll be fine after one quarter or two series which ever comes first.

If AP was far enough along in his recovery to practice normally with the team, then you have a comparison. If he asked to play at THAT point, I doubt they woulda said no.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

He will be fine.

as pfwt just wrote about, this isn't some injury where you can wear some protective gear like cm3 or rg3. Some doctors with many more years of schooling and many more years of experience than you, me, MM, AR, or ESPN have said it's not safe or wise to return yet...I trust their opinion.

dfosterf (44m) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (44m) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (46m) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (50m) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (52m) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (52m) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (55m) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (56m) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (57m) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (1h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (1h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (3h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (3h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (3h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (19h) : 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?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?
