Traditionally, Baseball pitchers that toss a No-Hitter buy their catcher a gold watch or some other gift to commemorate the deed. Sports team owners pay for all of the championship rings after the team wins the championship. QBs usually treat their O-Lines to special dinners as a thank you and to foster their best efforts to protect him.
I'm not shocked that players that make millions of dollars a season are extravagant with each other. Additionally, it is a long used coaching practice to sit a player in order to get more from him when he is reinserted. While Gary has improved sense he was drafted, after nearly two seasons he is still not the player that GB had hoped that they could develop. After the season concludes, if I wee GB's GM, I'd package and trade Gary for more/better draft choices.

PS: Thank goodness you aren't GM... stupidity to trade good young players on cheap rookie contract, unless you're getting a steal of a deal... and don't freaking realize how good Gary might become if he keeps improving...

GB should not continue to hold on to a player out of pride, but cash him in ASAP before his value decreases any further. Gutekunst may be able to put a deal together where GB picks up a 3rd or possibly a 2nd round pick in return for Gary and some other sweetener.

Extravagant gifts/presents at the pay level of some sports players/coaches is nothing new.

We were given one version of events... now we're given a second version of events... they both can't both be correct.

I was just staying clear of making a judgement of which is the correct version, because I don't know for a fact...

I assume your version is correct... but it's disheartening that the story wasn't real (so I don't wanna completely let go of it just yet)... At least assuming the the story of Preston buying the entire defense scooters story was real...

Now if they're both fake, then F the pranksters and the media for the false good heart warming stories...

Maybe I heard wrong? But zadarius said they're close but not that close and Preston laughed and agreed. Maybe zadarius was saying it was a joke cuz he didn't get it approved by his wife and it was real? I dunno lol.

You forgot to not drive into Oak Trees, don't drink bleach, and wear a coat outside when it's cold.

packerfanoutwest (15h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (23h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
