WTF Is up with our players talking shit.· Page 5

One week for our HS football team we had the bulliten board full of crap, everybody got really pumped, and we lost the game really badly.

This is what I tried to say (and no one agreed with me enough to be compelled to articulate such): the bulletin board material crap is irrelevant. It's largely a media darling concept. It makes a big story when a player guarantees a win or "talks trash" (which I'm not even willing to concede that Driver was) -- but it's rarely thought to actually played an impact on the GAME.

If you don't like players talking smack because ... you are opposed to talking smack, that's one thing. But don't extend it to thinking it puts the Packers at a disadvantageous position going into a game with Chicago.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

The biggest thing from this is I never heard Driver make a negative comment about another team before thus it took me by shock. It just seems like things are happening that are uncharacteristic from some of our players.

I already asked this question once, but it got lost in the shuffle, so here goes again: What is it that our other players have said that you think is so bad? I haven't heard anything questionable, and I follow the Packers pretty closely.

Well i was referring to the bs that Rodgers made a few times this offseason that got some wound up on here, then you had Collins comments about his contract and then you had Kampman getting shit for not talking when he always talked. Thats the types of things i was referring to as to being uncharacteristic (even though i expect it from the almighty Rodgers).

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Well people kept saying this wasn't a big thing but yet it was on all the shows on espn and also on NFL access. Most agreed with his comments but also said you should be saying that stuff public. One guy even went as far as saying it might not be a motivation tool for the players but the Bears gm to go and sign the likes of Burris and also go after Marshall in a trade and then we would be in deep shit. We already know Harris can't cover Burris but if they end up with both Burris and Marshall we are in deep shit.

Anytime a player says something of this nature, it seems like the fans for that player's team discount it, while the fans from the team that the smack/discussion/whatever make a big deal of it.

All in all, STFU is an excellent policy for all players, even if it only means we do not have to listen to the (inevitable smack) that will be thrown our way in the event that the Bears (in this instance) beat us.

The moment this came out, everyone pretty much knew that a mountain would be made of a molehill, especially due to the fact that there is nothing going on.

The rightness or the wrongness of it is totally irrelevant, but that is the part that will be debated on GBP forums.

Is it bulletin board material? Of course. Does it matter? Maybe. Depends on how each individual player wants to or is subject to this kind of motivational "tool". Right or wrong..again...nothing to do with it.

I love Donald, and just like Paul's talk, will lose little or no sleep over it, but still feel like players on 6-10 football teams really ought to keep their yaps closed for the time being. Let us do the talking on itty-bitty forums instead. :thumbleft:

hazer, you are just trying to find something to complain about because Ted Thompson hasn't screwed up this offseason. Am I correct?

And you related the Kampman situation to this, where actually Kampman did NOTHING wrong! He didn't even talk "trash".

And besides, Driver didn't even talk trash.

Gives up some people have the green kool aid infecting their train of thoughts. The main point was alot of uncharacteristic things have happened this offseason, but i guess some can't see that thru the green and gold goggles.

The same ESPN that spent 15 minutes talking about the "breaking news" that Brett Favre said he will have his decision by training camp. The same ESPN that is to blame formost of these "big" stories that seem to pop up when there is nothing to talking about. I'm not to concerned about ESPN's opinion on the manner. If Donald Driver's comment carries enough weight to have an NFL franchise make a risky and probably expensive player acquistion, that says more about the BEars than it does about Donald Driver.

No GM is going to go out and acquire a player because something a player on another team said, especially since what that player said has been what EVERYONE has been saying all offseason. However, I'm sure that won't stop you from making a big deal out of it if it does happen.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit
