Trying to interpret one of his neither-yes-nor-no answers is a waste of time. All it means is he doesn't want to share anything.

I have a feeling Thompson is an awesome poker player. I know I'd be scared to sit at the same table with him.

Yeah no thanks. Zero tells and that cold stare. Ugh.

I bet he hoards all the money he wins and doesn't spend a dime on upgrading his wardrobe during the offseason.

Packers' Charles Woodson Would Welcome Michael Vick in Green Bay

"Nah. Not at all. What happened with Mike Vick is unfortunate, but he's done his time. He's had to take responsibility for that," said Woodson, the former Heisman Trophy winner and a five-time Pro Bowler who has become one of the spiritual leaders of the Packers and is among the most influential players in the locker room.

"If he were to come here, we're all grown men, and we would have to accept him as a teammate, if that were the case," Woodson said Tuesday night before the Packers' scrimmage at Ray Nitschke Field. "To have him, that's another weapon. We understand that.

"We know that people have their dislike toward Vick. We understand that. But at the same time, he's a man. Men make mistakes. To have him here -- I don't want to speak for anybody, but I would welcome him.

"I'm trying to win a championship. So what anybody says outside of [this team], I don't care anything about that."

The Pack Will Be Back.

Charles Manson never killed anyone. I always thought he had a way with words, and I have never been pleased with the public speaking skills of our FO.

I used to be an avid hunter, so I have done my fair share of killing animals over the years.

We have a whole mess of cute little bunny rabbits living in our neighborhood. One of them in particular has been straying way too close to my front door.

I think the next time he does, I'll go out and beat that little friggin' bastard to death with a baseball bat.

I mean, it isn't like he's a human, or anything, and if I get caught, I'll just say that it was the mistake that it truly was.

One can make their point very efficiently without using profanity in every post or labeling members because they have an opposing view.

Is their view any less valid than yours because they find Vick's actions offensive, or that they don't think we need to distraction.. or whatever their basis of views shall be?

Since the basis of a forum is based on perspective and opposing viewpoints, I think the answer is no.

Yet you continue.. a simple toning it down a little isn't censoring your view or opinion.. just slowing down your escalation into labeling other members..

We get it.. you want Vick on the roster and his past digressions matter not to you. But they very well might matter to Thompson and the Packers since they are the ones that will be on the hook.

my eyes are going to roll right out of their sockets, man.

look, this has nothing to do with opposing viewpoints. it has to do with people playing childish semantic games with my choice of descriptors for Vick in an attempt to discredit my own view. nothing but cheap-shots, really. and it's not like i'm sitting here breathing fire, dudes. it's just smack-talk and words.

if yr so worried about the gravity of certain words, i'd ask why you do not have a word filter? if a certain word doesn't bother you once...why would it bother you twice? some fuzzy rational there.

EDIT: and no, you don't get it. i don't *want* Vick on our roster. i simply think it would be smart and wouldn't cry about it from some righteous ethical viewpoint.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Said nothing until the "Asstards" comment came out... in re-reading through most of the posts in the thread, most are open to the idea if Thompson and the front office see the value in it.

No fuzzy logic.. just a string of increasingly aggressive posting towards the opposing views.

Listen, I am not opposed to having Vick on the roster if those in the discussion think that he can do 3 things.

1) Help the team.. from the outside that seems like he would give us additional options and another choice in the backup QB battle.

2) That he accepts his role on the team, as a role player and not the "man".

3) That those that talk with him are convinced that he has changed or more importantly that he won't come to embarrass or distract this ball club.

Nothing more than that.. there are some that will hold a negative opinion of him for his actions.. how can one say that isn't their right to hold such an opinion?

Again.. we get yours, which is your right.

We do not have a word filter because people understand and respect the fact that we try to moderate this forum lightly, trying to treat everyone like an adult until proven otherwise. Your words, for example, were not "ignored". They went through the filter of the moderators own good judgement on the matter, weighing the impact of the points you are trying to convey with the methodology you chose to employ. When Pack93z advised you that it would be a good idea to tone it down a notch...There is your word filter, friend. If Pack93z says the same thing to me, I am going to listen to him, and I suspect vice-versa.

Bottom line, instead of worrying about what this site has or does not have, take the advice and tone it down a notch, OK?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
