We Packers fans cried for so many years about Jerry Kramer and then it was LeRoy Butler. Who is next for us to whine about that isn't in the Hall of Fame? Sterling Sharpe? Lynn Dickey?

If we're just talking about the next Packers HOF player, I think it's Aaron Rodgers.

Though if you mean who's the next one fans are going to whine about, probably Sterling Sharpe. But I don't expect him to get in (career was shorter), then again, I didn't expect a number of people to get in, and they did, so I could be very wrong.

I doubt Sharpe will get in but of course Gale Sayers and Terrell Davis got in after only playing 7 seasons (Sharpe played eight) so never say never?

Sharpe will definitely be a head scratcher when it comes to the HOF.
I doubt that he will get in.
Clay Matthews will be another player that I think will be caught betwixt and between.
However he has that NFL pedigree going for him.

Aaron will be the next inductee.

Sterling didn't put up the numbers to get in. He is 101st in reception yards. (Adams is 102 at the moment.) Tied with Stefon Diggs and Anthony Miller at 87th in receptions. (Cobb is 4 behind him at 94th.) Even with the NFL changing rules to favor the passing game, it doesn't seem possible.

CM III is 53rd in sacks. Robert Porcher and Steve McMichael have a few more sacks. I was listening the Chicago sports show this morning and while they would love to see McMichael get in they don't think he will. I agree.

I knew I was forgetting about someone, CM3. I think he'll get in... even if he's stats are a bit low, the HoF isn't consistent and the family legacy with give him a boost (even if it shouldn't).

Whom deserves it the more, isn't always the one that gets in, at least not in first.

Whom deserves to get in most of these; Sterling Sharpe, Greg Jennings or Jordy Nelson?

Nick Collins would be nice, but he basically only played 6 years and the earliest one weren't amazing.

Adams has a decent shot... not sure about the Packers pass rushers, probably not.

Shannon Sharpe said it all.

"I'm not even the best reciever in my family" paraphrasing that.

Sterling has a good chance, now that a couple of other players had injury shortened careers.

Not having a ring might hold him back..

Aaron and Devante are the next that are still playing.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Adams may have to wait and whining may happen.

Some on the Tweeter are saying Mike Holmgren.

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

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.
