Only losers post in internet forums but they're better than the ultimate losers who actually care what is posted. :p

Almost a good point.. Only if the anonymity of the posters was eliminated from the factor.. maybe they wouldn't be so critical. After all, their entire LIVES would be accessible for all to see, with minimal privacy.

I don't know this Vander Blue kid, but life isn't fair and isn't suppose to be. There's no rule that everybody has to love you. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. If you are soft and can't stand ridicule, then don't be a sporting star, because for every player there's probably a hundred or more people ridiculing him/her.

Gee, why can't people just learn to handle the situations they're in and deal with it. Too much babying in this day and age.

Good point.
No matter HOW good you are, some will ridicule you no matter what.
You better have a think skin if you want to survive.
I got picked on alot when i was a kid. Too much of a "nerd".
Should i go around whining "poor me! My poor self asteem! They hurt my feelings!"
You won't be able to withstand the REAL world if you can't take some ribbing.
Heck........some members here have attacked me. I could run off crying because they hurt my wittle feelings.
SCREW THAT

So, his decommitment from Wisconsin isn't him just dealing with his situation?

The point is the anonymity of the internet has caused a HUGE influx of 'bloggers' to feel the need to rip apart any athlete/etc. with absolutely no repercussions of their actions. The saying is so true.. 'The internet is today's bathroom wall of society.'

There's a fine line between coddling a kid/athlete and ripping apart everything about him/her. And there are no regards for such line with 'bloggers'.

Thats just it.
You need to take everything with a grain of salt that you read on the internet.
If you take everything that people that don't REALLY know you to heart, you will lose your mind.

As per what Cheesey said, I don't suggest that what bloggers do is okay, merely that one shouldn't come onto a sports forum and expect everything to be rosy. People DO rip into others because of anonymity, absolutely. That's not going to change though. The internet is serious business. It's not for the faint of heart. It's not going to adapt to meet the emotional requirements of a child.

As for young Vander Blue, decommitting is one way of dealing with it, sure. But if he's only doing it to go somewhere he can be loved then he's hasn't really learnt anything, and the instant he performs poorly and gets ridiculed, he's going to lose his self-confidence again. Hopefully this is a wake up call that this sort of thing happens in all facets of life.

packerfanoutwest (10m) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (8h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (21h) : 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
