Glad to here it but he sure seems to b e quite fond of himself.

The guy was a playmaker in ’09; if he ever gets reinstated there’s bound to be at least one team willing to give him a chance to make plays on their behalf.

First he screwed up his career in football. Had a perfect opportunity that only few get a chance to experience, and he screwed it up.

And because he hasn’t learned from the past, he’s on track to screw up his life. He’s going from famous (he was somewhat with potential to be really famous) to a guy with nothing left in his life.

I had hope for him after his first bust. I thought, you know what, I think he’s smart enough to realize what just happened. What he was a part of, and was risking losing. Maybe during a season, being part of this great team, especially around some great people like A rod and Jennings, he was happy, and had no problem being a good guy. But when he goes back home to his “friends,” he no longer has that thought inside that helps guide him in the right direction.

I lost hope. I don’t think he gets it. As hard as it is to say, its his fault, he deserved this. I just hope that he can figure things out. Focus on getting his life back. He screwed up his football, lets hope he doesn’t screw up his life. He already threw a lot of it away, I hope he doesn’t let go of the rest. He might not have football, but I hope he realizes there is a lot to life to live for, and its not his “friends” back home that seem to help him go in the wrong direction

But, I agree with PackerBelle in that you will have some teams that have their game with the Packers circled on the schedule the day training camp starts. No game will be more important to the Bears and their fans then week 3. I think many of them would trade their season to put a beat down on the Packers in week 3. The Giants and Falcons know if they want to take the next step they will have to beat the Packers. Simply put, the Packers are going to get their opponents best effort every single week. That will be a good thing come playoff time.

I do agree that A-Rodg is fairly unflappable. And we have a lot of good players coming back from IR. Assuming the season gets played, I think this could be another good year for the Pack.

Thanksgiving in Detroit could be tough, the Lions have made strides the past couple of years and they always play hard on Thanksgiving. And let’s not foget we lost to them last season.

I see a lot of games where teams will be wanting revenge – Bears, Falcons, Giants, etc. But I also can see the Packers playing well in these games too.
