Hi, all,
A friend from another Packers Board suggested I stop by and check you guys out. Place looks impressive -- I expect to visit often.

(Or at least until people get tired of my longwindedness and other oddities. :icon_smile: )

Been a Packer fan since the days of Taylor, Nitschke, and Starr. Starr's my favorite all-time Packer. Still haven't made my first visit to the "new Lambeau," but I expect to get there before my spot on the season ticket list (somewhere south of #30,000) comes up.

My biggest concern with the current team remains the OL, so that's where you might see me ranting most frequently.

Have spent most of my life being useless (i.e., in higher ed). Been teaching econ and econ history since 1987, and likely some of those early students are still sleeping. And expect some of the ones this fall will do so as well. In attempt to be less useless, started my own business of sorts a couple years ago -- but no one has to worry about the competition just yet.

I'm assuming "politics" and "religion" are more or less no-nos here, but full disclosure requires that I also admit to being a Christian anarchist -- former forever, latter at least until American "politics" shows it can choose alternatives better than the likes of Obama and the younger Bush. I doubt you'll hear much "God or politics" stuff from me, though. God is too personal, and politics just depreses me -- and I don't come to Packer boards to be depressed. But I believe in transparency: just think of this paragraph as having provided you with two more means of ad hominem attack when I go "loony" down the line.

Because you might see me go off on lecture mode occasionally in my posts about the OL or Ted Thompson or artificial turf. Though my main intellectual (and business) schtick is "listening", I'm still a professor who loves to hear himself talk. See this post. Ahem.

More later. Again, place looks great!

Go Pack!
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Urine is warm. Especially fresh urine.. =)

Wade, from your post, I expect a lot from you, my ugly tinted friend. Just be sure to post often and prepare to fight with the Lions for the cellar of the NFC North. 😛

Formo,
Have you heard about the Vikings? They actually discovered the "New World" about 500 years before Columbus. But instead of hanging out in America, they went back to Scandinavia so they could invent lutefisk.

Or was it that the longboat of Sven Liefson on their next attempted transatlantic crossing sunk due to an overabundance of warm ...er, nevermind, I'm always getting my history mixed up.

And people are surprised that they've never won a Super Bowl?

:)

Thanks for the warm welcome, all. And, dfosterf, please keep up the hyperbole. It does me ego fine, it does. :thumbright:

We even have one fan that roots against the Packers so Ted Thompson will be fired! (He doesn't really root against them, I'm joking, but he dislikes Ted Thompson haha.)

Welcome 🙂

wpr (3h) : Me do-ed it gooderly,
Zero2Cool (17h) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions
dfosterf (19h) : tell her I reckon
dfosterf (19h) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t
Zero2Cool (22h) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (22h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (22h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (23h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (23h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious
dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*
dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Packers signed someone for three year deal
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know
wpr (26-Aug) : YES!!!!!!
Mucky Tundra (26-Aug) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha
wpr (26-Aug) : He played pretty good.
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks
schroeder84 (26-Aug) : @dfosterf I suspect Elgersma WILL be hard to hide. Raw, but talented
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : pp.com is broken, halt testing, gotta go do work things for a bit
hardrocker950 (26-Aug) : Mecole Hardman was released, to the surprise of few
Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : PP.com updated. Reset Password works, and now User Profile pages are a thing
