Wade.. I agree with you.. but I can attest.. I didn't get paid days off without vacation time for any of the three children.

The way the world should work and the way it works are two different things..

BTW.. the Packers gave him time off.. lol.

I'm sure you're not stupid, but you are acting like you are. Your incorrect statement that I took issue with, and that you had your panties in enough of a bunch to dig up and quote state law about, had nothing to do with law or vacation time in any way. And then you say that I'm the one who has a problem with criticism, because I pointed out that you're wrong? :birdman:

Maybe I'm missreading your posts, and they aren't intended to be taken seriously? You do have some winking smileys, so... :thumbleft:

You got paid time off for your kids. So what if you used vacation. You didn't get extra time off. I don't have kids and if you got extra time off, I would want extra time off. Hypothetically speaking of course.

Harrell gets a pass from me on the bad game on Saturday. His wife had to go in for an emergency C-section. It was not just the birth of his child. It was also a medical crisis involving his wife and unborn child. That takes a lot out of a guy. I am guessing you would understand.

What was I wrong about? You implied that he should be entitled to days off or not perform up to expectations.. btw, I have no problem admitting when I am wrong.

He took a couple days off for the birth of his child.. which was Wednesday. And he had to be back to work on Saturday night.. all I did was provide information that he doesn't qualify for additional time off or shouldn't be ready for work.. even though the Packers excused him in the days around the birth.

But yet we will give him a free pass on his performance?

So how long do we give him a pass on this? ;)

Okay then.. throw out some other colorful adjective for me.. two threads in a row. Where have I insulted you?

So it is clear.. I am happy he had a good day in camp.. but to announce that he has earned his way onto the squad based on a single practice or base his worth is a stretch in my opinion.

Lets see him do it against the Colts.. I hope he does.

My simple underlying point is.. if he isn't ready to play or can't play why keep him around.

Through two games in a preseason he knows he must shine. he is 1 for 2.

If he can't get the job done, he needs to be cut loose.
If he had been consistantly good, i'd cut him slack for having a bad gam, considering what he went through.
But he has done almost NOTHING to EARN all the money he has been paid as a Packer so far.
So he beter show up, EVERY day, or be shown the door.

Maybe I am not making the underlying premise clear.. the birth was Wednesday.. the game was 4 days later.. 4 days.. yet unlike most of the world.. he can fail at his job and it is okay?

Even he came out and took accountability for failing this past weekend.. he didn't offer up an excuse. Why should we?

Either way.. I hope the kid continues to play well.. and it carries over into Sundays this fall.

"I can't put it on that," he said. "It was a lot of bad footwork. Just one of those days. It was a learning experience for me. The great thing about it is you get to come back and have another chance Thursday."

The other issue dogging Harrell is the condition of his lower back. Based on his obvious lack of power at the point, the back appeared to have robbed him of considerable strength.

Harrell described the back as "a little sore" in the locker room at Qwest Field but said it didn't bother him during a light practice in shells Monday night.

"I'm not going to put it on the back," Harrell said. "There's no excuse for the way I played. I saw the film. I saw the things I need to correct."

Harrel just tweeted that he was reading the forum, and he thinks both of you are right on certain points.

He said he is going to play much better this week, and his back feels fine.

I thought he didn't play well. I didn't think he sucked. He was taking on double teams, he got a pressure that caused an incompletion. He even made a tackle after being knocked down.

The pass he got for Saturday from me (like it matters) is over because he is back to dominating in practice.

If he expects to be great, just not sucking should very disappointing. Specially if that is the worst he has played. That tells me he has a lot more ability.

I really didn't expect him to be at peak form right now. He had been out of football a long time. I think he will get better as the season goes along. (Traditional sign off for any Harrell post) If he is healthy.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
