As far as I'm concerned, Allison is our #2 WR regardless if Cobb is healthy or not... He's proved to be more reliable than our $10 million slot receiver...

Yes, I'm not a big fan of Cobb... especially after him single handedly ended 4 drives against the Redskins lol

Years ago when we debated who to sign, Jordy or Cobb, I rolled Jordy because I felt Cobb's production was replaceable and what Jordy brought during his prime was not. I do like Cobb, I just like him as WR3 more than WR2 with what I've seen from Geronimo Allison. That Bills game is the first time I recall seeing a ball hit his hands and him not catch it.

The Packers listed all three receivers on the report, with Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Geronimo Allison (concussion) nursing previous injuries and Davante Adams (calf) listed with a previously unknown ailment.

YIKES!!

Brown and his siblings are German citizens by virtue of the fact that their mother is German, even though they grew up in the United States.

The United States takes the principle of jus soli to remarkable lengths. A baby born on an airplane in American airspace automatically receives American citizenship, even if the plane never touches down anywhere inside the borders of the United States! I don't know of any other nation that is so generous in doling out citizenship to children of foreigners.

Strictly speaking, of course, the United States uses a hybrid system of both jus soli and jus sanguinis, since children of American citizens also automatically receive American citizenship, regardless of where in the world they are born. Very recently, Germany has moved toward a hybrid system as well, impelled mainly by the enormous influx of immigrants over the past couple of decades. It's gotten awkward having such a significant population of children and grandchildren of immigrants who are effectively stuck in no man's land, having not received citizenship of the country in which they were born and grown up.
