56Coop…Alas and alack, my last name is bereft of academic acronyms. Just teaching nuns who encouraged us to look up a difficult/unusual word every day and use it and it’s synonyms in a short story. Then as a chaser, use the word’s antonyms in another short story.

A simple stimulating exercise that’s kept the old brain protoplasm viable.

I hope.

Oh, and one more thing. Campbell, are you an English major? Quite the vocabulary dude. I have a bachelors degree but I’ll admit, I had to look up execrable.

Opinions are like thumbs. Most people have at least 2. Ditto on Joshy’s post. I like the fact that a person can come here & put out whatever it is they have to put out & in most cases spark legitimate debates with good points on both sides. Not much of the adolescent name calling, smack talk BS found on so many other sites although some of the “debates” can go on & on & on even when it’s obvious that the opinions expressed by one party are not going to be swayed or changed. Kinda like the ridiculous bipartisan crap going on in our political system.

Debates can sometimes get “heated” which is one of the good things about the debating process. I like this site because in general all people are welcome and there are a lot of passionate knowledgeable Packer fans here.

Speech over, peace, out

Did you actually read my last post? I said Rodgers was the leader of a fabulous offence, would be a probable MVP and win the division and more.

Nowhere did I call AR a “bad guy”.

If you’ve ever watched a loved one die of cancer, you would never wish this disease on any living being.

Your Packers will have a wonderful record=breaking season, do try to relax and enjoy the festivities.

Peace.

Are you kidding? Are you saying that Thompson was INTENTIONALLY making the team worse so that Favre would leave (never mind that this would also threaten his own job), or that he instructed the “young, brilliant supporting cast” to simply play poorly as long as Favre was still around? What was 2007 then? Was there not a “young, brilliant supporting cast” in place then? Cause if that is what you are suggesting that is far and away the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard of in this long and sordid tale.

gbpackattack,
neither campbell nor favre is a cancer. favre is a jackass, but does not multiply, and has not yet to date killed millions of people in any single calendar year. cancer does both of those things. therefore, brent is not a cancer.

campbell has an opinion. cancer cannot have an opinion. therefore, campbell is not cancer.

i understand that even assholes are welcome on this blog, if they temper their fervor and negative emotions whenever possible. therefore, i can deduce (but not command) that you are welcome here. you have opinions, and that is important.

campbell, get a life! Rodgers is not the bad guy in this. In fact the only bad guy is Favre. WE GAVE Favre everything he has! Not the other way around. WE took a chance on a poor sport backup from Atlanta! Many other teams shied away because they knew how he was. Favre strikes me as the guy who always wants to do it his own way, regardless of the disastrous consequences. Oh and how tired is your comment that we went 6-10 last year with Rodgers! Are you really trying to say Favre would have done better? What a joke? Where were you when Favre took us to 4-12 not so long ago. Grow up or get a new team. You are a cancer like Favre!

56 coop on target re AR and close games. 2 Crosby makes instead of misses and we are 8-8. AR gave us what should have been the final score of the game 3-4 times only to have a defensive collapse. Just as 13-3 the year before could have been 9-7, last year could have been 10-6. Every year perhaps 1/2 the games can go either way with 5 minutes left in the game. A break, a bad call, a player error changes the outcome. How many times in his last 3-4 years did BF cough it up, get picked at the end of the game resulting in a loss. I am now an AR fan and predict he will get the final score, a winning score, with frequency this year now that we have a better defense.

Travis..thank-you for your excellent and appreciated posts!

And I thank everyone else for their responses/thoughts and reactions, even the snide ones. I’d also like to thank awhayes for Packergeeks. From the beginning of the Favre saga, the vile, nauseating comments of the Favre-haters on all other boards have been execrable.

On this site there is at least a semblance of dignity no matter your feelings towards Favre.

I differ on the opinion that Thompson upgraded the team during Favre’s tenure. He upgraded for the foreseeable future, not the immediate future. Favre played with a young, inexperienced team during the 4-12 season, and it seemed to me that he was the only one who tried on the field, and I don’t think he was awarded the same “pass” that Rodgers was given for 6-10.

2009 looks like a fabulous year, with a probable MVP candidate in Rodgers being the leader of an offence that might rival Air Coryell or those great St. Louis/Warner teams, and I hear more and more of the media jumping on the GB bandwagon.

I wish all of you Packergeeks exciting and successful Lambeau football..I’ll be watching the old man in Minnesota. Love/hate him, no-one plays this wonderful game with the same unbridled joy and enthusiasm.

And the bottom line is..I love this game!
