You are right.
Just his adding how if Biden and Harris were in office it wouldn’t happen made me figure he was trying to make some kind of point that Trump being president and allowing fly overs was a waste of money, and Trumps fault.
Even though they have been doing fly overs for as long as I can remember. Whether a Democrat or republican was president.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, chance are, it’s a duck.
Sometimes a label fits.
Of course I don’t know if Aikman is a liberal or not.
Almost all “rich” people are left leaning. Look at Hollywood. Or major league sports.
Those that come out of the closet and admit they back President Trump get raked over the coals. Like that makes them horrible people.
I don’t know.....maybe the point Aikman was trying to make is that if Biden and Harris were in office, that they would destroy the military and that would end flyovers, as there wouldn’t be any planes or military pilots to do so. Maybe he’s a conservative! ( I don’t think that’s the case, but who knows?)

I don't personally like Aikman, but still I want to see/read all the facts and not just those cherry picked to support an argument. Fake news is not just a one way street.

I like Troy Aikman as an announcer because he's pretty intelligent. I'm not a fan of Joe Buck. I don't know either personally so can't speak onto that. I remember us fans thinking Joe Buck/Troy Aikman were our good luck charm for the 2010 season, lol. Funny how things change.

Re Buck. I disagree. He is excellent a play by play. He doesn't feel the obligation to rattletrap like Sam Rosen who thinks he is paid by the word. He sets up Aikman exceptionally well. He is also outstanding on baseball.

To the topic, people say goofy stuff all the time for humor, sarcasm, or just to have some fun. I would not ascribe political motives. For what it is worth, Aikman had consistently given to Republican candidates, which would seem to give some level of credence to the opinion that the words spoken were either sarcastic or just bloviating.

You sure do love “correcting” people. You do it every chance you get.
The “do as I say, not as I do” sure does fit you.
No one is allowed their opinions, unless it agrees with your opinion.

It really doesn’t bother me though, as I’ve come to realize that’s the way you are.
Just my opinion, of course!😂

I was not going to mention this and now feel, screw it. It is interesting that he said "Kamala-Biden" ticket. Some can say this is semantics, and that's fine. Still, it is interesting that the VP is mentioned before the President on that ticket. It shows there are people who willing to vote for anyone other than Trump, even if they don't even support the other candidate.

As for flyovers, they have importance for pilots and we might wanna figure all that out before getting on our rage wagons and prop ourselves up on some moral high horse.

Zero, it’s what I’ve been saying all along. I honestly believe that most of the people voting for Biden are only voting for him because they hate President Trump that much.
If they took the time to look honestly at what he has done for this country in the last 4 years, they wouldn’t be so quick to judge him badly.
Their hate for him was from long before he became President. The guy could save a baby by running into a burning building, and they’d still hate him.
Why do some say “Kamala/Biden?”
Maybe it’s because they realize just how corrupt Biden is, and have to say it that way to allow themselves to still vote for the guy.
Of course I don’t know for sure. But I wouldn’t vote for him no matter who his VP choice would be.
47 years. Nothing positive for Americans. Easy choice in my opinion.

Fan Shout
packerfanoutwest (28m) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

wpr (1h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (1h) : now 3
Zero2Cool (2h) : Who? What?
beast (10h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (15h) : meh
Zero2Cool (19h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (19h) : It's so awesome.
Zero2Cool (19h) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (22h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (22h) : Only 4
wpr (22h) : 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
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
