Wide receiver Donald Driver, though, too the opportunity to throw his support behind his current quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, instead of his longtime friend, Favre. He said repeatedly I dont care when asked about Favres fantastic finish, then vowed that Rodgers would be unfazed by the hype this week promises to bring.

He handled it all last year, and hell be able to handle it again. I think hes fine, Driver said. Id go to battle with him all day long. Hes our quarterback, hes our man right now. And hes going to continue being our man for as long as his contract says hes our man. We have to have his back, just like he has to have our back. And were going to go to war with him. Thats how we have to play the game.

Oh.....believe me....ANY Packer player that says "they don't care" about the upcoming game is just blowing smoke.
You can BET that BOTH teams care, ALOT.
But no one wants to be quoted and used as locker room fodder.

Remember the Jets said the Patriots game was their Super Bowl up to this point? I am wanting this game to be the same intensity level. Every game should be intense, but this is MNF, against our hated rival and our former QB.

This vikings game has all the ingredients to be a classic, i for one dont mind staying up all night for this MNF, even though it means i have to skip sleeping and go straight to work.
I hope the matchup of a ball hawking secondary and QB Brett Favre turns out the way it sounds.

It amazes me how Donald Driver is able to continue to play at such a high level. He's out there blowing past rookies 12 years younger than him.

The Rams game was classic Donald Driver. Crazy left-handed circus catch mixed in with wide open drops. I go from saying, "How could he drop that?!" to "How the hell could he catch that?!"


Gotta love the guy.

2 words - work ethic.

Jerry Rice was the same way. Simply worked harder than his peers.

It can't possibly only be work ethic, though. Obviously, he keeps his body in great condition, but it's nothing short of miraclous that a receiver who goes over the middle and gets hit that much doesn't get injured more often. Or is still even playing the game. There's a bit of luck involved, lol.

That said, he has a great mentality and is very tough. There's a fair share of work involved in playing for such a long time. Especially if you play like Driver does.

Rock - Life is 50% luck, 50% skill.

I've known people who did EVERYTHING right and still got cancer, and one of my closest friends was addicted to intravenous cocaine, was an alcoholic, and smokes like a chimney to this day. He'll probably live to be 80.

Fair? No.

That's the luck part of it.

The skill part of it was Jerry Rice did train harder than anybody, and I really mean anybody. He trains in the San Francisco area and lots of sports stars try to keep up with him. I think there were 4 people who were able to keep up with him. One of them was a baseball player. I forgot who they were though.

I'm sure Driver's work ethic is circles around a lot of others.

But yeah, you make a brilliant point about going up the middle. That's what I mean by luck. Like my ex-coke addicted friend. That part is luck.

Fan Shout
packerfanoutwest (4h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (4h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (5h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (5h) : now 3
Zero2Cool (6h) : Who? What?
beast (14h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (19h) : meh
Zero2Cool (23h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (23h) : It's so awesome.
Zero2Cool (23h) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
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
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
