Ahhhh.. I certainly used the incorrect word. Bravo.. but did you get the point of the message. Yes.
Ironically, I don't think I stated Boykin is better than Jeffery. As far as my ridiculous commentary I made this offseason; refresh my memory as I must have driveled in excess because I am not sure of the statements in question. Are we talking about the renewing Ted thread? Payback? For what?
As I stated... your agenda is simple, stir the pot and sling shit everywhere.

I recalled you as one of the wiser posters here but somehow thought you were the Boykin promoter.
Just had to take a little shot at you regarding proper language usage. I've noticed an epidemic on Packers boards regarding dominate and dominant. Also, personal vs. personnel. If we all went to school in WI this shouldn't be happening as our educational system is among the finest in the country. I don't want our good name besmirched by improper usage.
My agenda is simple...it is not what you state it is. What my agenda is is this... to have people consider more than the typical beer swilling tv watching fan would consider. I don't care whether you agree with me, or not, really...it's about providing another view that is contrary to the mainline thinking that is in all fans. I believe what I type. It is not meant to stir the pot, but that is what it does because, as I said, there is a common denominator thinking in most fans...just base level things that the majority can relate to. Kind of like the NFL trying to make the game more women friendly so that they can be added to the pot of fans who spend money and time watching the game. The goal isn't educated fans...it's fans.
A very good example of how I think I differ is in the way this loss played with the masses of Packers fans. Most will react by what they hear come out of player and coaching quotes, or their favorite Packers pundit. Most of what that is is as fluffy as cotton candy. Fans look to each other for solace and convincing that everything is going to be okay. Fans want to hold hands and shout GO PACK GO...it is simpler and much more fun than dealing with reality. Pack now ensured itself that it goes on the road for the chip unless the 1 seed loses. That is simply DEVASTATING. A blown opportunity of epic proportions. Average fan thinks nothing has changed...Pack still can win the whole thing. So much has changed it's sickening.
A second example and a better one is the whole R E L A X thing. It was very clear why Rodgers said that. We wound up winning a bunch of games and fans bought that crapola line. Why did Aaron say R E L A X? Simple...he looked at the schedule and saw a cupcake fest coming over the next several weeks. He knew he would face no legit stud defense for a long long time. So, R E L A X really was a shout out to the difficulty of the upcoming schedule. All of a sudden the team gets drilled in New Orleans and sky is falling. We win a few more and we're unstoppable. Nothing has changed from the beginning of this season. We aren't equipped to beat teams with great defenses plain and simple. We haven't beaten them over the last several years and we sure aren't beating them this year. I would bet everything I own Aaron Rodgers would not tell Packers fans to R E L A X when the playoffs start because he knows he ain't seeing cupcakes in the playoffs.
What happens when you post something that conflicts with the pie in the sky fantasies people have? Yup... pot gets stirred...lots of negative reaction. Again, it isn't done purposely...it is just what I believe and what I believe riles people up because they don't want to hear that kind of stuff as it doesn't fit with what they want to believe. Next thing I know, I'm being accused of being a Bears fan or Vikings fan all because I try very hard to be objective not subjective like a typical fan.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because theyβve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
