A group of Packers players - including receiver James Jones, cornerback Al Harris and offensive linemen T.J. Lang, Breno Giacomini and Evan Dietrich-Smith - along with other team employees, city workers and United Way volunteers, got to work in the morning installing the new structures and re-painting some of the old ones.

Then linebacker Nick Barnett and fullback John Kuhn helped the dedicated crew in the afternoon with spreading the wood chips over the entire playground area, old and new.

By the way, longtimefan is probably pissed at me right now. I'm sorry, man, it just slipped out. ;)

Kudos to these guys for getting out in the community and working up a sweat for the benefit of those in need. I know from experience that's a great way to foster team building!

Not 140 words -- 140 characters! But I agree wholeheartedly. It's catering to the ADHD generation -- keep things short at all costs. Even text messaging gives you 160 characters. Still too short, in my opinion, but it's something.

Sure, so can mine -- but it gets split up into 160-character fragments when it's transmitted, and I know from experience that certain carriers (e.g., T-Mobile, Verizon), won't accept those extra-long texts. They don't even let you know it's been blocked; it just vanishes into cyberspace. Even with carriers that let you send those extra-long texts (like mine, Alltel), you won't receive a 450-character text in one block; it will come as a series of texts. Sometimes they come in the order they were entered; sometimes the fragments arrive in an inverted order. It depends on the carrier.

If you've ever wondered why someone didn't respond to your text, it's very possible it was too long and they didn't receive it. Even 161-character texts can get blocked. My ex can't receive anything longer than 145 characters.

I wonder if he did that stupid samurai thing after owning that wheel barrel of cement.

Either way, good to see these guys helping out the community. When I saw the title of the thread I thought it was going to be another twitter story. I was close anyways. I thought Barnett got rid of the twitter account

wpr (16h) : now 3
Zero2Cool (17h) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

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
