I believe he received a Nobel peace prize for just thinking out loud. This is news to me that a person does not have to do anything to receive a peace prize. To be honest I think this was the dumbest thing I have ever seen.

it wouldn't just be the nameless on the board, the entire nation (well those who want to hate on him for everything) would be down obama's throat with "how dare he not accept this award - does he think he's too good for it - that 'monkey' should be happy to get any award even though he's a 'nazi' "

what people need to remember is that this award has lost it's meaning over the years. once they gave it to the wonderful gov ryan from illinois, i lost all respect for it. this award needs to be put in the hands of the people in the trenches who truly do wonderful work with the people - not the figure heads, imho.

Pfft! Those who dislike him are saying he should have declined because now it makes Obama have to tap-dance around the War on Terror (Which I am pretty certain Obama dislikes don't want)! Now for those who HATE Obama, well come on. What about those who hate Bush, they are always there but they are a small majority. Not to mention, Obama has 1 Allie. The media. They will always says he's perfect, so how can they disagree with him on declining?

Yet Obama only listens to his teleprompter, so what can you do?

Rodger that. No use having a discussion about the value and integrity of the award itself or people expressing their opinion about whether it was awarded to the right person.

Granted, I agree that it's natural for humans to tear down those greater than ourselves, but the whole debate here is whether the award itself is an affirmation of greatness, and if the man is great enough yet to receive the award in question. I don't think this debate has gotten particularly nasty, mean-spirited, or irrational... It's a conversation. You can be brash and abrasive, which can obviously be (and often is) a strength, but sometimes it just serves no constructive purpose.

I still say I should have received the award. I've done numerous things to help procure and maintain peace among the world. For example, look at the staff assemble here. That's enough pudding for proof!

Sorry, I have nothing to contribute to this thread. I know zilch about it and I think those who want to take the time to bash someone who received an award are up there with those who are in PETA and every other cult. Too much time. BUT, that's based from my own ignorance on the subject and means nothing.

It's your opinion, and worth just as much as anybody else's. Abstaining from having an opinion about something is often wiser than having an opinion. 😛

That's good, cuz really, I have no clue what any of this means in this thread. I don't even know what the Brian Noble prize is all about or how many they are or if it's for a offensive or defensive person. NO clue. Do they get a statue or a trophy? I've never heard of the 'nobel pose' or anything.

I'm not bashing Obama for getting the "award". I'm bashing the idiots for giving it to him.
He hasn't done what SHOULD be necessary to get it.

I guess we should give the Detroit Lions a Lombardi Trophy this year, after all, they DID win a game, right? I mean.......they MIGHT do something to earn it SOME day....maybe.....right?
Makes as much sense if you ask me.
Ronald Reagan got the Berlin wall torn down. I didn't see him get an award for peace. I know....he was a "right winger". They don't get awards like that. No matter what they do.
AL Gore....for WHAT again???

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (8h) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (12h) : Merry Christmas!

beast (21h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
