He's back for good? Thank him for me for doing a job that needs to be done.

He is back for good. I just learned that he will not be re-uping when his time expires in 6 months.
He had planned on doing so. My guess is that he feels he has fallen behind in his pursuit of college and a career.

Good man, good man. He's making a smart move, in my not-so-humble opinion. I got out and went back to school, too. It's the only benefit I expect my country to give me. Once I've gotten started in my chosen career, I want to pay taxes like the rest of my fellow citizens.

Speaking very selfishly here, I would like to say I'm rather touched by wpr's displays of emotion vis a vis his son. My father never would have gone on an internet forum and written about me like this, much less evinced any excitement that I had made it home. To this day he's still more interested in weaseling war stories out of me than expressing any sort of appreciation I made it back. I know it's unjust of me to say so, but sometimes I wonder if he even would have noticed if I came home draped in a flag. Your son is blessed to have you as a father, sir.

Thank you nonstop.

All dad's have a way of aggravating us and surprising us all in the same instant.
I know my Dad and my relationship was not the best. I finally decided he grew up in an age where men didn't express their feelings very much. He lived on a farm during the depression.
He was on the road for a lot of my life and I was raised by my mother, sister, grandmother and aunt so I prob do a better job at this feelings thing.
My relationship with my dad didn't get strong until after we found out that he had cancer. It was a 5 year battle that changed all of our lives. I have more patience and understanding about my children because of my dad. (Both because of the good and bad things that I went thru.)
I pray that your relationship doesn't have to wait until death stares you in the face. Last week was the 2nd anniversary of my dad's death. What I wouldn't give to have him here today when my son steps off that bus.
Thank you for sharing. It truly means a lot to me.

Adversity like that always strengthens the bond, if overcome. I have the same with my dad. Great revelations by the both of you.

packerfanoutwest (18h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (18h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (19h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (19h) : now 3
Zero2Cool (20h) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
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
