I can't believe I used to be a Josh Sitton fan. I never would have thought in a million years that he would go to a hated division rival just to stick it to ted Thompson. Rumor has it 10 teams were interested and he had to choose the Bears. If that isn't spite I don"t know what is. I just hope he realizes that he has ruined his legacy in Wisconsin forever. We would have voted him Pope before but now he wouldn't be able to get elected dog catcher.

I'll be honest... for $7 million per year... I'll play for any American team, in any sport that little kids are legally allowed to watch and isn't likely to seriously injury me (ie the sport of walking over the grand cannon on a thin wire with no harness would most likely seriously injury kill me, so that's out)

I think I'd prefer it to be some bad basketball team that would stupidly keep me around many many years.

Good. I like this. Media trying to sell this like it's a tragedy. I'm over here thinking it's pretty cool and makes the matchups more interesting over the next few years.

Its too bad not all players are afforded the same leeway with regards to their careers. That is not a joke.

The whole Favre saga didn't even cross my mind. Mainly because the situation was so different. Sitton isn't close to Favre in terms of stature, impact, what he's meant to the franchise etc. Favre was the Packers for a long time, then forced those same Packers into a horrible situation, giving GB no choice but to trade him and then weaseled his way onto the roster of our biggest rivals.

Sitton is just a very good guard, now playing for the Bears.

The Packers did Sitton a favor cutting him now, that's a lot of money.

Where is all the anger and hatred for Sitton, he stated he wanted to play against someone that plays the Packers and the Bears play us twice. But not as much as a peep except for one person. But yet this place went wild when Favre wanted to stick it to the Packers. Anyone else seeing a trend going on here? Didn't Jennings want to stick it to the Packers also?

Oh well lets believe all the hype of us making it to the Super Bowl, Which I really don't see how. We didn't even win our division but yet we are the greatest lol

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

You act like before his antics Packers fans had it out for Brett but that's complete idiocy. Packer fans absolutely LOVED Favre and he had to EARN that hatred. If Brett acted like a man on his way out like Sitton has done instead of a petulant manchild then the reaction would have been a heck of a lot closer to what were seeing now.

TLDR: Sitton = example of a man dealing with his business (keeping damn mouth shut and moving on)
Brett = example of whiny manchild dealing with his business

wpr (5h) : 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

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.
