I just emailed my fellow Fantasy League Managers with the following letter.

Please be advised that you all are included in my sentiment and are included as my new adoptive family

The league, (NFFL) is a "old school" 16 team touchdown only league that has been in

existence since the fall of 1987.

Here is the letter that I sent to the other 15 Team owners.

The response was written in response to my declaration of mine informing them of my becoming a Packer fan after having been a Bears fan since 1967.

I am serious. No punking.

here it is......

You are going to see your mom?

Eddo,

Outstanding Comeback! What you replied really did make me Laugh Out Loud :)

But I'm gunna guess you know what I meant.

I wasn't joking about this, my cardiac guy and I had a heart to heart (No pun Intended), and best case scenario with my heart's present condition, ten years is a realistic run to expect. I'm neither being darkly dramatic, or overly "religious" with what I'm about to say.

I'm just not afraid of this diagnosis. I know where I'm headed....

I'm good with a decade of life left. (And if at any time, any of you maniacs want to discuss privately getting on board with "Team Christ", and want to firm up you final destination living place email me privately @ Bggrzzzz@gmail or call me at (715) 207-0249 and I'll fill you in on the info) I'm just sayin' 😉 I remember Bill Adler's plight, and that whole story is still very much alive in my memory how sudden he left us and the NFFL.

I still miss Wild Bill and I still pray for Him and his family.

I just am going to try to make those ten years mean something to everyone while I still have time left to effect some modicum of difference in the lives of those around me.

Now, that being said, I'm on to Gary's questions and observations...

No Gary, April, my wife, is not a Packer backer. As a matter of fact she doesn't like football of any kind, which is just how I like it.

I have never lived any part of my life with a woman who liked football. It's so much easier having a spouse who is not a football fan, trust me.

As far as the respect thing, well "Uncle Gar" you'll get over it. I just can't take Bears management anymore, and Cutler is Jeff George reincarnated. He piles up personal stats but NEVER get's his teams to the "promised land".

That brings me to Aaron Rodgers. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I really like and respect that guy. He's just a Good, genuine guy.

And one last thing, I believe He is the best Packer quarterback I have ever seen play in Green bay. That includes "Saint Bart the 15th" and "The Gunslinger #4", If for no other reason than that that is why I plan to Cheer the Team in GB, for the duration of my days on earth.

So I'll close this reply by saying that I hope all of you In our NFFL Fantasy league, yes even The Donkeyboy" my arch enemy 😉, have a great and blessed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year and know that I love all of you, especially the Founding fathers of the NFFL.

Thanks to all of you for being my friends,

Carry on Men!

God Bless, everyone!

Wow... that starts as a very deep letter followed up by the reality that is Jay Cutler and the marriage they struck with him. I truly think Trestman was getting on some very thin ice for a bit there.. probably still wandering close to that line even now.

There are arguments to be made that Rodgers is the best of the Packer QB's.. just like one could mount a discussion for Starr or Favre.

But welcome aboard.. and here is to you beating the prognosis.

Martha Careful (2h) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (20h) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (20h) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (21h) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (21h) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (21h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (21h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (22h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (22h) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (22h) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (22h) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (23h) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (23h) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (27-Apr) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : @MIKEYSAINRISTIL Tyler Shough will officially be the last person drafted to the NFL born in the 1900’s

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : Was that for the team or the city?

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3m Draft grade is in: Green Bay gets an A. The people, the city, the venue were all superb. NFL Draft’s next

TheKanataThrilla (26-Apr) : Sam Howell to Vikings...guess no Aaron

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : 1 round 7 min, with one extra minute if there is a trade. 2nd round 4 minutes, 3rd -3, 2 thereafter IMO

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Agree

dfosterf (26-Apr) : Great idea imo

dfosterf (26-Apr) : 1st round to 7 minutes with one extension

dfosterf (26-Apr) : NFL comissioner wants to shorten the 2st

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : @jalenreagors They’re discussing if Sheduer can go back to college on NFL Network LMFAOOOOO

beast (26-Apr) : Great point Martha

beast (26-Apr) : Buddy Ryan used to say if a candy bar goes missing, there are two to blame, Rex and Rob 🤪 jk 😁

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Bum Phillips used to say there are two ways to get better. Get better players or get players to play better. We have a new DL coach

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Yes. Look at the losses last year. They can win.

beast (26-Apr) : Can Packers win with their current DL?

bboystyle (26-Apr) : waiting for a pass rusher.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes between picks in the 3rd

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 3rd. Hate this phone

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 4rd

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes in the 4

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 7 minutes between picks in the 2nd round

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : Losing 2nd round pick for a one year rental, not ideal. Especially a headcase.

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : Pickens for Jaire may be interesting. Definitely not sure we want Pickens long term.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : No.Absolutely not

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
