I wasn't even aware that Kuhn was white. I'm not happy, nor am I unhappy of his re-signing. He's not someone who made a plethora of bone headed plays, but I do remember a certain block on Julius Peppers that helped win a game and get the Packers into the post season.

Unless he's being paid $4 million or something absurd, I am indifferent on his signing.

I'm still amazed that people are stooping so low as to call Brett something other than his name, intentionally as if they are cute or clever or funny. To an outsider, we fans must look like real ungrateful idiots.

As for your blasphemy of a question, (how the hell can you not see the difference lol) if an outsider reads Packers fans blasting a Bears player, they probably think said Bears player must be good.

Back on topic, I think it is an excellent signing. Kuhn is an excellent pass blocker. Keeping Aaron upright is the #1 priority.

AND he signed the ultimate team-friendly deal. $ZERO guaranteed money. ZERO risk. Under the "aged veteran exemption" or whatever it is called his salary cap hit is only $610,000. If he can't make the 53 in training camp, or room is needed on the roster during the year, he can be cut with ZERO penalty to the team.

I never once insinuated that I was offended. But since Ted came around, can we get a count on how many of those guys turned into something?

He is relevant in this context, due to his membership in the social stereotype of "white trash" people.

Call me a homer, BTW (and I'll wear that as a badge of honor), but I see nothing wrong with intentional screwing up of names or any other form of disrespect for other teams' players/icons present or pass.

For example calling a certain Bears QB "Quitler" or "Cuntler" because he plays for the Bears is one thing and that is kind of expected between fans of rival teams. Calling him those names because you don't like the guy as a person (like a certain forum member's use of the name "Bert") is disrespectful and immature.
