It's one thing to know a players/coaches/famous person medical stuff (not that we always deserve to know)... but a non-pubic private citizen medical stuff? I just don't understand why dive into that.

Devin posting about losing family to the virus kind of added to the empathy -- from me anyway. When athletes opted out, I tried putting myself in their shoes. What would I do? I'm fortunate that my family isn't high-risk, at least that I'm aware of. My youngest child in the household is 7 years old. So, assuming you're targeting me with your "look at me being holier than thou" response since you quoted me, I asked my question because I am someone who is interested in understanding more.

BTW, for anyone else who is medically clueless like me, after I posted my inquiry, I had looked it up and apparently a virus and disease are one in the same. I thought they were different. For some reason I thought a virus was something that came and went whereas a disease was permanent and never went away but you were able to minimize the symptoms of the disease. I'm a software developer, not a doctor, haha.

It wasn't just you... though, I thought I remembered you have told others a number of times, that whom a player is dating is none of our business.

Just surprised me when I saw you asking for non-famous people medical history, which is generally considered much more private than whom a famous person is dating (especially when it's another famous person).

When Funchess opted out last year I figured we'd never see him in uniform but it seems like he's excited about playing Green Bay. He was a good receiver in Carolina and if he can shake off the rust he could be a boost to the offense.

Why is asking a question such a horrible thing?
It’s not like I, or anyone else here DEMANDED that Devin give us more details.
It was merely curiosity to ask if he lost more family members.
Just wondered, as I would with any Packer player, how this horrible virus affected him. It’s easier to feel empathy and sympathy for a person if you know what they have had to endure.

I do get very bothered when fans/reporters get bent out of shape over not knowing what player has what injury and the severity. It's solely because of gambling and now fans/reporters feel entitled to know personal health/medical information of players. Gambling is going to ruin the sport. Which sucks because sports betting can be fun, but just like the NFL got too big financially, so will sports betting. Sooner or later the rewards for cheating the game will be too financially rewarding to ignore. The NBA witnessed that with referee Tim Donaghy. Think of it like this. Would you rob a gas station for $500 knowing you could serve let's say 2 years in prison? Hell on, the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Now if you can rob a gas station and collect $5 million with the same prison sentence? Hey, if you're looking for easy money and think you can get away with it -- you're going to try.

After watching these highlights, I'm getting optimistic about this kid. I really like how he goes and grabs the ball with his hands. He's not a speedster or someone is going to get a ton of yards after catch. I do see someone who is going to move the chains and go up and get those jump balls in the enzone.

P.S. Ignore the poor music selection.

Mucky Tundra (now) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (20m) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (29m) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (41m) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (1h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (1h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (1h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (1h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (3h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (3h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (4h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (4h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (4h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (4h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (4h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (4h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (4h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (4h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (4h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (4h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (4h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (4h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (4h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (4h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (4h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (4h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (5h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (5h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (5h) : Packers will get in

beast (5h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (5h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (5h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (7h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (8h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (9h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (18h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (18h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch
