Dakota, you oughta check out the video wpr posted in the Back Alley. The lady in it is EXACTLY like you.

As for this Thompson thing, he has done some good things; I never said he didn't. When he came to Green Bay, though, I think before they committed all that money to renovating the stadium, etc., I really wouldn't rule out the conspiracy idea. Anyway, I expected the negative reception in here. Whatever. Things needed some spicing up.

He has had successes, of course, especially after it became apparent that Rodgers was an all out superstar. I didn't even speculate that he STILL had a mindset to tear down the team - just that MAYBE that conspiracy idea was valid when he first took over. As for the present, as one of the people said above, "if only Ted would learn to fill in the gaps" - that's like saying about a golfer "if only he would learn to putt". This team could be SO MUCH BETTER if only Thompson - for whatever reason - "learned to fill the gaps".

One thing I get particularly sick of is people ignorantly acting as if the money is not enough - oh no! maybe we can't sign Nelson or Cobb or whoever. That's just stupid! The cap keeps rising, and it is easy to structure contracts in a cap friendly way. Yet you keep hearing that same old whine.

What you did was NOT criticism. That was just blatant ignorance lol. To deliberately sabotage a franchise? And imply the NFL or whoever is behind it? Sure, because everyone hates money!

1. Americans rarely appreciate irony anymore.
2. Pete Prisco doesn't get it.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

packerfanoutwest (7h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (8h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (8h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (8h) : now 3
Zero2Cool (9h) : Who? What?
beast (18h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (22h) : meh
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : 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
