More on Barnett's status
By Greg A. Bedard of the Journal Sentinel
July 31, 2009

Green Bay -- We all know the guy can Tweet (LOL). And he said he'll address this on his new website (www.barnett56.com/) later tonight, but in the meantime I caught up with Nick Barnett earlier to ask him about flunking his physical and being played on the physically unable to perform list for the time being.

Here's what Barnett said:

Why did they flunk you?

Honestly you have to talk to (general manager) Ted (Thompson) about that. I'm sure it's probably because there's no need to rush me out there. Might be the old benefits versus risk deal.

Was a target date set to get you on the field?

No target date set.

Are you upset by this?

Am I upset? Well not really. I would really like to be on the field but I trust they will make the right decision at the right time. But, hell yeah, I want to be on that field and feel like I can be. But it's very important to be smart about these things.

Here is a hyperlink to his new website. I do not see the promised expanded explanantion to being placed on PUP as of this posting.

Nick's website also has his twitter in it

Wasn't there a poll awhile back and you were voted THE MOST LIKEABLE MEMBER OF THIS FORUM? :icon_smile: :icon_smile:

I know I voted for you!!!!!!

Nick has always been one that wanted to be on the field. Playing it safe right now is the thing to do. Maker sure he is ready for the late season run for the North title.

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

if he's healthy, he should be practicing. we have a new coach, new shceme, barnett should be on the field from day 1! IMHO.

So if you meet me Have some courtesy, Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse, Or I'll lay your soul to waste

it seems as if he's not healthy enough to practice. if he were healthy, i'm sure he'd be practicing.

I would say Dr. Mackenzie, the team doctor who failed him on his physical.

But what does he know, he's only the team doctor! You know best!

Zero2Cool (9h) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (11h) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (11h) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (13h) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (13h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (13h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (15h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (15h) : 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 (16h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (16h) : 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 (16h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (16h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (16h) : 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 (17h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (18h) : 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 (18h) : 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 (19h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (19h) : 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 (19h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (19h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (19h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (21h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (23h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (23h) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (23h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (23h) : 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

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : Soft hope plan is having fantasy football weekly on-site that i build. cannot do that with this setup.

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It's older technology, resource hog, cannot be upgraded/changed. That's to start.
