Weird thing about Texas is that, he's so WHINEY.

His political worldview is staunchly anti-whineyness, but damn. LOL. His posts about Ted are quite otherwise.

particularly when you consider Thompson's early season moves and some of his reaches in the draft - Rodgers arguably being one of them.

And again, explain to us how your theory is even conceivably possible when the Packers shares are non-transferrable and the Packers bylaws prevent anyone from purchasing more than some minimal amount (offhand I believe it's 4 shares).

Just.... [palm]

This is why no one bothers "debating" you in the back alley (except Dakota, who's clearly a masochist).

But that's a higher percentage than the chance of Raji being worth $4 million a year.

I see somebody commented on my saying Aaron Rodgers was a "reach". What I mean by that is that it was kinda a shock when the Packers took him - and a lot of people, including myself to a limited extent, thought it was a mistake at that time to take him. I wonder if anybody in here would admit they felt that way too back then hahahaha.

Interesting take. I have to ask, why would people want the smallest market team gone when in essence that the 2nd smallest becomes the smallest? That seems like a fruitless gripe.

The Packers are one of the more profitable teams (no facts on this, just what others have reported) and there is a reason TWO teams fled Los Angles. The Packers have been in green bay for nearly 100 years. LA couldn't keep EITHER of their two teams for half that time.

Move to LA and they will lose the very thing that has attracted so many fans not only across the US but worldwide. People love the David vs Goliath concept. People also love the "Beat LA" and "I hate the Yankees" theme.

Greater LA area has about 18 million people. They could give a rat's ass about the Packers even if they moved out there. There are only 6 million in WI and most of them live and die with Packers. They buy the merchandise. They name their kids Vince and Bart, Brett and Aaron. LA name's their kids Jesus, Miguel, Tyrone and Jamal.

The sports franchises? They have fans that follow the teams but they show up late and leave early. They go but they don't invest themselves into the teams.

As I said there may be some people that would like to move teams from smaller markets to larger ones. But more want to keep the Packers were they are. Jacksonville would get more support than GB ever would. Buffalo would get consideration too. most of NY bows to NYC teams. I mean the NJ teams. Canada is to the north. Cleveland and Pittsburgh hem thm in to the South and west.

I figured ol Brett had a couple more years in his tank so that was just about the right time for Rodgers to hold the clip board.

I never ever envisioned the fallout that was going to come down the pike. Especially since Brett was doing his hokey pokey retirement dance every year. I just hoped he would last 2 more years.
