I remember seeing him run last year in some of the 49ners games and thought he was a pretty good back. Would of been happy to have him on our team.

Wtf? So this was the reason for his absence. Seriously, the coach gets on your face for blowing a blitz pickup in fucking training camp and you QUIT? What a pussy.

I was going to post that article (that Zero posted) because this is not at all why he retired. This is an amazing sacrifice from a guy that could have had a decent future in the NFL. But I'm with Cheesey his missions will be much more beneficial than anytyhing he could do on the playing field

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!

Keep in mind that post was made before the real reason for his retirement came...

I'm not a devout christian but if he wants to do something else, go for it.

Takes guts to do that. You KNOW there will be those saying how stupid he is, what a "holy roller" he is.
But bringing even ONE person to Christ will be worth more to him when he goes to heaven then all the riches he would get here.
Yeah......i know..........i'm a "stupid holy roller!" LOL!

How can you judge where Coffee is supposed to have his ministry? Sounds to me like he knew he never was supposed to be in the NFL in the first place.
Maybe it was never where he was supposed to be.
Reggie felt lead to be in the NFL, and that was where he preached from.
Coffee must have a different path that he is supposed to take.
Just because he had the talent, doesn't mean that's where he's supposed to be. he has to do what God leads him to do.
Sounds to me like he knows that, and is doing so.

Everyone is called differently. God doesn't have a scorecard counting how many you bring to faith. God has a way he wants you to minister -- and sometimes he wants you to throw away the obvious way.

Maybe God wants Coffee to help with those who get turned off by famous jock witnesses.

And even if it were about the numbers, how do we know that Coffee won't bring more people in if he follows a way different than Reggie's? Billy Graham probably helped bring as many people to faith as anyone since the apostle Paul. Yet his fame came AFTER, not before.

Oh how one could take the "Free Will" stance, the bible and this topic and run...

p.s. I think I need to chill out a bit. I've been taking myself way too seriously lately.

Zero2Cool (2h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (6h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (6h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (7h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (7h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (7h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (7h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (7h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (7h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (7h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (7h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (7h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (8h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (8h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (10h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (10h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (10h) : 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.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
