This place is cosy, in a non cabin fever kind of way. I really wouldn't want to talk Packers elsewhere.

I... I am a football junkie.. I will talk it, watch it, debate it, argue over it.. and used to play it whenever, wherever I can...

I am an addict... hell I watch youth football and start breaking down players... borderline illness.. lol.. so I hit football sites.

I am a member of a Charger, Raider, Bengal, Viking and Florida State forum as well... probably will have to find another college program to embrace now that Bobby was forced out..

Needless to say.. I roam and talk football a bunch. This is home though.. because of the people.

I knew you would join in this conversation. I am really proud of how long you were able to sit on the sidelines. That was real self restraint my friend.

Yes that was. I got to the point where I was skipping any conversation because it always ended up the same way. Kind of like how no matter what you talk about in a political forum, it always goes to Nazis/Adolph Hitler. At that point, any real dialog is over and it becomes a shouting match.

It wasn't so much a shouting match here as it was hearing the same thing over and over and over again. It got old.

I thought Kevin handled it pretty well. Kudos.

Eng - Exactly. It's about the right size. You don't want a site too big that it becomes impersonal, but too small that you never see any updates.

Pack - Why Chargers if I may ask? Chargers used to be my 2nd favorite team in the early 80s because I love the pass (nothing has changed). The Chargers kept it in the air all the time, and they were fun to watch. Then coincidently, the Packers started doing the same thing and I had lost interest in the Chargers.

Kellen Winslow, Dan Fouts, Charlie Joiner, John Jefferson and Don Coryell... mostly Kellen Winslow though.. dude was a rock of a tight end. I would watch all the Chargers football I could back then.. Municie was another favorite back then... never the greatest back in the world but I liked his grit.

I was young yet.. but I remember studying that offense and thinking damn that is how to exploit the game.. 30 years later.. many of the same principles are still in the game.

When John Jefferson came to the Packers is when I stopped watching the Chargers as we became the Chargers. Paul Coffman was not as good as Kellen Winslow, but he filled Winslow's role of being the 3rd target often in the middle of the field. Gerry Ellis was a poor man's Chuck Muncie. And as good as Joiner was, Lofton was better.

Fouts was a blast to watch, but Dickey had the better long ball. :wav:

Well growing up following the 70's predictable Packers offense.. when I caught the Chargers in the late 70's... it was so foreign to me that I had to learn about it.

We didn't get a ton of Charger games in Wisconsin.. so I would tape them on beta tapes and watch them again and again... I think my parent tossed them when they moved from the farm in the early 90's... I had probably 50, 60 tapes full of games or parts of them that I wanted to keep.. studying formations.. defenses.. players.. you name it...

I was also a diehard Tom Landry fan.. along with Starbach, Dorsett, Randy White, Ed Jones, Charlie Waters, Robert Newsome,Tony Hill and Drew Pearson.. I was young but one of the moments I never forgot in all these years...

Was this gem... [img_r]http://rootzoo.com/article_photo_uploads/DoomsDaddy_15299_8576.jpg[/img_r]

I'll always have a soft spot for Roger Staubach. First football I ever owned was a Roger Staubach football. It had instructions on how to properly throw a football. I followed them to a T.

People said I threw the ball hard and assumed it was because of a strong arm. It wasn't. It was all proper mechanics. Dang I wish I was there in Wisconsin sometimes. I'd show you what I mean.

I was seven or eight when I got my first football, and a die hard Packers fan and didn't hate the Cows until 1982. You probably know the moment I'm referring to.

Dorsett I have a soft spot for as well. He had elusive moves and was just fun to watch. I didn't know he passed up Jim Brown until recently. Weird to see he ended up so high on the all-time rushing list and played as long as he did.

Fan Shout
wpr (6h) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
