I remember that game. We lost against the Browns. We needed a stop and the fans were chanting "Reggie, Reggie"

Then we gave up like a 70 yard TD to a back-up TE. Just going on memory here

He is referring to when White's number was retired (again?) on Sept 18th 2005. (This still confuses me)

Yep, they retired the number early and put his name in the ring in '05, went to that game, they were giving out small statues of Reggie. I do believe his daughter sang the National Anthem. Thundering flyover, pretty damn emotional.

And they sucked that day, first home loss I'd been to in 10 years.

Hmm, so they did retire his number as soon as they were attempting to do with Brett... then years later put his name on the ring of honor while removing the 92 from circulation?

well last time i checked the season dont start in Oct. so how can you say they werent rushing to retire bretts number to try and keep him from playing. They wanted to retire Brett's number opening night. Now it won't be retired till the Ted Thompson administration is gone.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

The Jets game, right? I was there. One of my two times at Lambeau (the other being the loss to the Vikings in the wild-card). Lucky me.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Umm, it was within the same year. Are you REALLY going to attempt at being this petty over something so black and white? (see how i used White in there? clever huh!)

If two more years go by and no number retirement. I agree with you that it won't be done til after Ted and Mike are gone. Stop forgetting about Mike in this. He's a key reason to Brett not being a Packer in '08 and you CONTINUE to fail to acknowledge or understand this. Why? Because you hate Ted and it's the pussy way out to just blame it all on someone you already hate. (just my opinion about the pussy comment 🙂 )

Hmm something I don't agree with! Who can I blame? I know, Brett says he can't trust Ted, I'll blame Ted I already hate him!! What? Mike told Brett no? Bah, I hate Mike less than Ted, so BLAME THE TED!!

Zero actually i see what your saying about Mike but i figured he would be gone before Ted Thompson (HC's go before a gm) But so what if its same year? They wanted it done the opening game to try and shut him out you can't be that blind 😛 Retiring a number in OCT is totally different.

Specially retiring a guys number when most people knew he was going to come back.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Martha Careful (17h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (17h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Rude!

beast (21h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
