Spew Off Speak Out...
| If any of you missed the former QB of the Pack being interviewed by some baseball guy on HBO last night.... you can find an abbreviated summary from Aaron Wilson over at PFT - Favre: "My Intentions Are Not To Create Controversy" and the almost complete transcript over at the Insiders Blog at Press Gazette/PackerNews.com - The Expanded Brett Favre Transcript. I'm only going to say that for BF to compare his quitting on two teams to Vincent Lombardi actually retiring for a year as a coach, he was the Packers GM his last year in Green Bay, and then going on to resume his football career as the head coach of the Washington Redskins before succumbing to cancer really shows what a classless act BF has become. Now for my prediction... with BF on the Vikings there is no way that the Fat DT Williams Brothers will be suspended by the NFL. There is absolutely no way that the NFL Commish will allow the new feel good story of the year to be overshadowed by actually suspending those two for violating the CBA, besides, if BF is truly on the Vikes, no Judge in Minnesota will allow their Super Bowl pending season to crash without a major fight. Just a prediction... Lastly, a simple thanks to Packer Paul, Jim, Boz and everyone else who contributes to Packer Palace, we love you all. BeerKid - Still Pack 4 Life! |  Sent in to Packer Palace last summer via Packer Paul via a Vikqueen Fan who emailed it to him... It's another cheap laugh at BF's expense. |
| Name: Comments: |
| _____________________________________ We should all get the feeling now that BF absolutely doesn't give a shit about the Packer fans who adored him for years. He's out there just buttf**king us daily as he spews his stuff over the airwaves. I am very tired of seeing the name "favre" everywhere. He knows that people want him to succeed. He knows that we want to believe him, so it's OK to lie like a dog. We Packer fans will find a way to believe him. However you feel about TT is not an issue. It's time the we took BF off the pedestal and looked at him without Rose colored glasses. He really isn't as pretty as we think. fbg3  _____________________________________Not wanting to miss out on a golden marketing opportunity, The Vikings Pro Shop introduced the "Favre-Watch Wing in a Sling Favrey". Order yours TODAY!!! Jim I must say Jim, you keep piling on with the funny images. Awesome stuff you keep tucked away over at the National Parody League. I think this one with Stewie is a great one too... "It's football, it's not life or death? We'll see..." BK _____________________________________ I don't know if I hate Favre or if I think he is a prima donna. All I know is my gut feeling is that this could all end bad. While all the NFL Live experts are in love with him and are already giving the Queens a Lombardi trophy, I'm a realist. He's almost 40 playing sixteen weeks of football against the leagues toughest defenses, I don't know, I'm just saying he might regret this decision and go crawling back to Mississippi with his shreaded pride, and ruined ego and realize that this wasn't such a good idea after all. Somebody in his life needs to pull him aside and stop him. Nobody will. He will be a 50 year old former great who's mangled body we will be seeing on TV, crying about how he's physically unable do take a crap anymore thanks to football. Favre save yourself now, I beg of you. Save yourself the embarrassment of getting killed week after week and losing what little respect you have from your fans. Save yourself from the boos you will get when your 75 and come back to Lambeau for that reluctant number retirement. QUIT WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD. Jared S _____________________________________ BeerKid - Where do you get the Brent shirt? Incredibly funny!! I have to be wearing one at my fantasy draft. Salt Lake Cheese Hey Salt Lake Cheese, here ya' go: http://sconnie.com/view_item&id=137 is the place to buy one... thanks goes to D for following through and letting all of us know where he found the t-shirt. Hey Salt Lake Cheese, it was forwarded around (scroll down a few times to view) a bit before Boz sent it in, you would think that it's from last year when BF joined the Jets so... yes it's funny and it's a burning question for several people today. Here's a link that says her BIL(?) created these t-shirts last year - knitorious.typepad.com/knitorious/2008/09/well-never-forg.html - and a link from As Seen In Wisconsin - www.asseeninwi.com/well-never-forget-you-brent-favre - and another modified one as a desktop wallpaper - www.asseeninwi.com/well-never-forget-you-brent-favre-desktop. BK  _____________________________________I propose that Lambeau Field decorates their toilet paper with #4 embroidery this coming season. nick sl _____________________________________ That "we" crap really pissed me off..... your DEAD to me Brett. JONNY C WOW! Jonny, you would be the last person I'd expect to say that... but then I suppose you are like most of us, it's one thing for BF to play for the Jets, quite another to purposely want to go to your teams hated rival. BK _____________________________________ Isn't there an interviewer on earth who can ask Favre some tough questions???? I wonder if Brett makes them show him the lists of questions before the interview... Why bother to lie about whether you told the Packers you wanted back then changed your mind? Or, Why do you think your buddy Mooch should get hired as coach even though he SUCKS? Or Why do you think you need to be GM, too, acquiring players? Or, why make a point to say in your Jets retirement presser that you WEREN'T asking for a release, when you obvious were going to do just that in another 2 months? Somebody question this guy's motives, please...don't just humor Favre the cash cow. Can't wait to see the draq queens crumble with a 40 year old drama queen QB who has a 76 QB rating in playoff games since SB XXXII. Can't blame them for signing Mr. Popularity, though, since they can't even sell out a football game. Ruppert _____________________________________ If only Favre hadn't thrown that interception two years ago....This hurts. The "we" comments hurts. Anger & revenge is not healthy. We'll see if the Viqueens can stomach the interceptions as easily as Pack fans....Favre will want to "put it to TT and the Pack" so bad that he will forget he has a running back and use his surgically gunslinger arm and throw and throw and throw and the Pack will score, and score and score! Go Pack Go! KS Packer Backer _____________________________________ I am thankful for all the fond memories Favre gave to us Packers fans over the years but if/once he puts on the goldy locks and daisy dukes of the Queens I say take his &$%#*!@ head off. Go Pack Go! Packer Backer in Big D _____________________________________ That shirt is LEGENDARY!!!!I can't wait for the season to start! GO PACK GO!!! Big Ern said so!!!! _____________________________________ BeerKid, you made me laugh out loud with the Brent thing. Maybe instead of burning my pile of Favre stuff I can just stick a "Brent" sticker over all of it and maybe put a stick of Bart Starr's face over Brett's. That might make me feel better and not have to have a bonfire. foundinidaho Hey foundinidaho, all credit goes to Boz for forwarding in the image... it was easy laugh-out-loud moment. BK _____________________________________ I'm getting my tickets to vikings vs browns. opening day. Go Favre!!! Good luck Packers. favrefan4ever Hey favrefan4ever.... have fun on opening weekend, nobody here cares... BK _____________________________________ Exclusive: Overseas Sweatshops Humming...  Since Vikqueens fans are already dressing like a certain popular dinosaur, the folks in the Twin Cities think this new Pro Shop item is the perfect fit. Jim Hey Jim, thanks for the all the pics, they're being hoarded for later use... BK _____________________________________ Who the hell is this "favre" dude everyones talkin' about?!? All I know is The b*@rs still suck!!! And the beer will be just cold enough come Sept!!! GO PACK GO!!! and go brent favre who ever you are! Big Ern said so!!!! _____________________________________ |

Speak Out Spew Off...
| Here's something of interest I ran across a few days ago from Real Scouts over at The Sporting News... Best of the best: NFL's top 25 players for '09 and although there's no Packers on the top-25, they do have the breakdown's for the top-20 at each position. You can find the individual links for each position along the article's left column as you scroll down. Head coach Mike McCarthy is 16th, defensive coordinator Dom Capers is rated 5th, with offensive coordinator Joe Philbin also at 16th. Last year, the Packers offense finished 5th in points, and 8th in yards per game and the Packers defense finished 22nd in points allowed, and 20th in points per game.  Packers players listed on offense: QB Aaron Rodgers - 14th, RB Ryan Grant - 18th, WR Greg Jennings - 9th, WR Donald Driver - 13th, and T Chad Clifton - 11th.Packers players listed on defense: CB Charles Woodson - 14th, CB Al Harris - 18th, S Nick Collins - 6th, DE Cullen Jenkins - 18th, OLB Aaron Kampman - 11th, ILB Nick Barnett - 17th and ILB A.J. Hawk - 13th. No special teams players made the top-10 list at their positions. Enjoy the weekend - Drink in heavy moderation. Viva Los Packers!!! BeerKid - Still Pack 4 Life! |
| ____________________________________________ Hey BK! Long time no chat. Can't wait for August to roll around...maybe I'll catch the pre season game at the Kettle O Fish while I'm in Manhattan in August. Again, great place to go and watch the Pack, especially since the owner is from WI. Lots of Pack memorabilia, nice place right near the subway station. So, if Brett signs with the queens, does this mean that we are gonna have 'lil queenies' blogging here all da time? Oh well, it should be entertaining nonetheless. GO PACK GO!! Lady K ____________________________________________ Two things in regards to what Long Live the Pack said (see below). First of all, none of these rookies has played a down. We can call BJ a top-rated DT, but then again so was Steve Emtman and he turned out to suck. I may be totally cynical, but I hate it when people talk about how great their draft was before anyone has played a down. Secondly, and I know I will take huge amounts of crap for this because he is everyone's savior now, Aaron Rodgers has really done nothing. Are we better off with him? I don't even know. We were a 13-3 team, and he was handed the reigns and we won 6 games, 2 of which were against the most hapless team ever in the Lions. I'm not pro-Favre, I may have been at one point, but I really just want this to end, I want him to retire and go away. I just don't think we really know if the Packers have the players they need or not. I understand the want of them to win, but banking on rookies and a new defense just seems like such a bad idea. Dave Barr ____________________________________________ It would be nice if Favre made up his mind for a change instead of dragging all of us through the mud for months on end. It appears the Viking's deal is going to happen and it will forever change my opinion of Favre. I used to put him in the same category as Robin Yount and Bart Starr. It now appears he is closer to Gary Sheffield. It is hard to see things from his end of this fiasco. draftfan ____________________________________________ Per the report, which cited two sources, Vikings coach Brad Childress has set a deadline for this week for Favre to make up his mind on whether he’ll join the Vikings as their starting quarterback or remain retired in Mississippi. This made me laugh. All of PackerNation have gone through this before. BF will do what he feels like doing. He will sign with the Queens on his own schedule. He will meet no deadline. He knows he can get away with it because he's Brett.  fbg3____________________________________________ Back The Pack... Jim Hey Jim, thanks for the chedd-a-riffic Homer Simpson - Back the Pack image... BK ____________________________________________ Old Packer fans need a REALITY CHECK: I'm so sick and tired of every "old" Packer fan claiming they "know more" about football just because they are OLDER. What?? Young fans are 10 times more informed about the game than almost anybody over 50. It's just a simple fact of life... so move over and meet your replacement GRAMPS.

It's where I start my morning surfing for Packers News... http://www.packernet.com/articles.php This is a pretty interesting article I found over at Bleacher Report, on just how rare it is to find a starting QB in this league, and why GM Ted Thompson was almost forced to draft Aaron Rodgers when other needs were supposed to be addressed at the time. It's not too long and it's over-generalized on it's points, but worth the read even though it's scattered across 10 pages.... just keeping clicking "next".

| ____________________________________________ Hey BeerKid............. Thought I'd do a little write up to see where we’d be in hindsight had things turned out in the preferred (?) way. It’s summer 2008, TT decides to welcome Favre back, AR is back-up once again. May be fair to assume that the Packers finish w/a record similar to the Jets (defense, O-line and special teams play limit outcome a bit). Let’s see where we are today, now. Favre has retired with a bad shoulder but hints he may come back for another year. Everyone waits. Meanwhile, AR’s contract has expired and he signed elsewhere as a F/A (possibly in our division). The draft has come and gone. Instead of the top rated DT, we’re picking around #16. We pick the best D player available (who ever that would have been, I’m not looking it up to see who was there for the Jets). We don’t have that 3rd (Favre trade) to trade, so we didn’t get Mathews. Packers announce that if Favre doesn’t return, the starting QB will be the winner between Brohm and Flynn this year. The thought around headquarters is that “we were close, maybe a player or two will get us back” so the coaches that were fired are still Packers. (for the most part) So, currently, we’d be sitting around waiting yet again to see if Favre plays another year (the current Viking situation). We’re minus AR, Raji, and Mathews but have added a good player on D. Of course, F/Agency might have went differently, then again, the Vikes might have signed AR……….

Spew Off Speak Out... It's The OTA's
| I don't know about any of you... but all I got out of the Packers OTA's recently was that Allen Barbre is working out primarily as the new Right Tackle. Last year's draft pick OLB Jeremy Thompson is apparently adapting well to the 3-4 defense and former DE and now OLB Aaron Kampman won't talk to the media. The speculation ranges from the "he's not adapting well" and "looks stiff" in these OTA's to "he's just annoyed with all the media..." angle to the his silence. I'm just going to pop another beer and move right along... to "wanna be back in the news" Fran Tarkenton. I don't need some vikqueen scrub who's 0-4 in Super Bowls to tell me how much my former beloved QB should play or not play, for who or not for whom, and frankly, if Brett Favre can still whing the ball around like early last year, more power to him. Play for the Vikes. Please...... and "twinkletoes" can go back to staring at his 1 NFL Championship ring... which was eventually their 1st Super Bowl loss so it doesn't really count as a champion-anything. Bwa hahahaha hahahahah bwah hah-hahahah ha ha haaaaaaa.... eh. BeerKid - Always Pack For Life! |
| _______________________ Just to let all you historians know Fran was 0-3 in the big one. Joe Kapp was the Queens QB in SB IV. GO PACK GO! 50 year Packer fan Hey 50 year Packer fan, thanks for the correction... twinkletoes has no championship rings of any kind to look at.... real or imagined. At least Joe Kapp can say they won a NFL championship before losing the Super Bowl IV... bwah hah ahah ahahah ahaha hah ha, eh. BK _______________________ OK Seriously a dude named "fran" is givin' us sh*t?! HUH??? You played for a team whose colors are PURPLE and yellow? Just like My Little Pony my daughter has? Also brett....man where do I start.My Ol' Man went through something similar but he just grew a beard and bought a cooler car,dude let it go...just let it go. GO PACK GO!!! BigErn said so!!!! _______________________ Hey, let the washed up rag arm traitor go the 'queens. It means an easy two wins with him having flashbacks and throwing to his old uniform colors. Elk Mound Joe _______________________ Hey Beerkid, In the words of Sgt. Hulka in the 1981 "Ball Buster" movie "Stripes" ... "Lighten up, Francis." Fran Tarkenton's attack on #4 was clearly a way for the Vi-Queens organization to take themselves off the hook about signing Brett Favre. Back in the day I am sure Francis was taking showers with vi-queen greats such as Coach Grant, Cocaine Carl Ehler, Jim "Wrong way" Marshall and Freddie the Foot Cox. Who out there thought that after Brett un-retired, only to be traded by the "Village Idiot" to the NYJ's that he was going to make it another 16-17 year career in the Big Apple? Brett knew that it wasn't going to be forever, so why get close to the team? When Francis came out of his cave on the Afghan border to give a radio rant about Brett I had all but forgotten that he was still among the living. I mean, WTF has he done since that outstanding (HA!) TV show of his from the 1980's, "That's Incredible!"?!? Brett still remains the guy you just want to kick back and have a few beers with and talk about football, family and hunting. Francis still remains one of only a few NFL QB's to have reached the "Big Show" 4 (FOUR) TIMES and choked on the big one when everything mattered. It was also a different game back then Francis. Perhaps Fran should look to the asshole in his "Ivory Tower" at 1265 Lombardi Avenue for blame for the preseason Mella-drama that played out last summer and perhaps have that beer or two first with Brett before passing judgment. So "lighten up Francis" and crawl back into your hole, your "Fifteen Minutes" in over 27 years are up. PACKER PAUL - Minneapolis, MN. _______________________ I live in MN and got to listen to the whole 20 minutes Fran spent with Paul Allen, the Queens announcer on the radio. What's funnier than Fran's ramblings is the fact that Allen, and everybody else up here, thinks that just plugging Favre into the Queens QB spot is an automatic Lombardi Trophy. Nobody up here is even considering the fact that it could end horribly.  I loved the guy for all those years in Green Bay, but right now Favre is old, his shoulder is fried, and his playoff numbers are basically horrible over the last several years. The Queens will be more dangerous come December if Rosenfels has a year running the team than with a tiring Favre. I hope they sign him. Go Pack.Ruppert _______________________ Beerkid, Just off the wire, Greg Ellis DE/OLB 11 Year vet was cut by Dallas today. What a great insurance policy for the Packers, Come on Ted sign him. He would be a good fit for the 3-4 and come in and rest Kampman on some series!!!!!!! Go Pack Go Packman Hey Packman, yes, Ellis has given the Pack fits over the years whenever they played Dallas... I don't know what he has left in his tank, and he's rumored to be heading towards New England, but one of the things we fans have talked about over and over is "where are veteran leaders" on this team when the decisive moment on the field arises. BK _______________________ Tarkenton's just pissed he never won a Super Bowl because he played for the Vikqueens. foundinidaho _______________________ Way to stand up and speak your mind, Fran. I totaly agree with you. I find it hard to blame the Packers for last summers soap opera. Go Fran, Go Aaron, Go Packers!! pack fan in texas _______________________ Fran Tarkenton can go get bent. Show me your ring asshole. Then you can talk. Go Packers!!! Hamilton aka Sign Boy _______________________ Dan, whom loves the old Packers, is completely insane. As much as I wish Favre's career path had ended in a different way, what do we achieve by bringing back a guy who doesn't really want to be here and then making him GM? I'm a huge Brett Favre fan, he is the only Packer's QB I have known. But at this point, I just want it all to stop. Brett just needs to retire and get ready for the hall, and we need to move on and try to be successful on the field. And, if The Pack finishes below .500, then we can start saying Ted needs to go. But right now, this is by far the most absurd thing I have heard in ages, AGES. Dave B _______________________ Love the way Fran's opinion is juxtaposed against Dan's. Which one makes sense to you? And this after watching that 99 yard pass Brett threw to Brooks in Chicago, the last Packer game I have seen in my hometown due to the inane level of abuse. How can I possibly forget the sweet silence that fell over the 17 y.o. imbecile who was screaming Fudge Packer (a favorite Chicago putdown) for an hour straight right into my ear. Suddenly he turned into a well mannered suburban Chicago boy. Don't expect anyone here to believe me but my 3 friends would confirm that I called that third down play, and well I remember their jaws hanging open. If there are going to be any mass demonstrations in Green Bay I hope it is to issue a mass apology to Ted Thompson for the misery he has had to endure as Packer GM which I am sure eclipses that which all his predecessors endured combined, including good ol Dominic who ever he was. One subtle trait of Thompson unrecognized is I believe he tries to draft "Packers" which I believe are in shorter supply than 40 years ago, what correctly or not are often referred to as character guys. ray _______________________ It's nice to see some things never change--Fran still is and always has been a self-absorbed prick. Who really gives a rat's rump what he thinks? Is he whining because nobody really noticed when he retired?? Maybe he's sore because the biggest thing he's done since retiring is that dumbass show on NBC all those years ago-or clearing the probabtion from his illegal businesses.... Crawl back under the rock Fran--nobody still cares................ Coach Carl _______________________  Fran Tarkenton was an all about me quarterback on three of the four Super Bowl bust teams. I'd be talking TEAM, TEAM, TEAM too. Might be a couple Domequeen fans that put the blame squarely on him. At least he made it into the Minnesota Vikings Ring... Jim _______________________ |

Speak Out Spew Off... It's The OTA's
 As the Packers head into one their Off-Season Team Activities (OTA's) this week, a great place to get caught up is from a post over at Green Bay Press Gazette - Roundup: Follow today's OTA where under the Roster Breakdown section you have the links for each of the positions and a bit of breakdown on the players currently on the roster and which player is competing for what and against who-ever, whatever. A nice graphic from over at JSOnline's 3-4 Packer defense: At a glance which may help you interpret what each defensive players new responsibilities as far as gaps and directions may be as the Packers, under new defensive coordinator Dom Capers transition from last year's 4-3 defense to the 3-4 alignment. So far, the biggest change is Aaron Kampman standing up to be one of the LB's now. Click on that thumbnail over to the right to get the bigger, easier to read image. BeerKid - Always Pack For Life! |
| _______________________ Vikings' great Tarkenton calls Favre's actions despicable
"He told the Packers [after 2008 that], ‘I'm retiring,'" Tarkenton said. "They've got to move on. They've got to go through their offseason plan, their workouts, they go with the other quarterback [Aaron Rodgers], who is a good player, and then [Favre] comes back and says, ‘I think I want to play.' . . . You build your team in the offseason. Everybody knows that. It's about team. It's not about Brett Favre. So he goes and runs up to the Jets, doesn't even dress in the locker room with the players. Has a separate facility. Playing quarterback is about the relationships you have with your coaches, with your players, with your trainers, with your managers. How can you do that if you show up on gameday and you haven't put the time in? And now he's trying to do it again in Minnesota. And if Minnesota bites, God bless them. . . . "He's been a great player, there's no question about it, but it's all about him. It is supposed to be all about your team. If you're going to be the quarterback of your team, you need to be there in the offseason workouts in March and April. Peyton Manning's there. Tom Brady's there." "I think [Favre] has been a great flamboyant quarterback, but he has made more stupid plays than any great quarterback that I've ever seen," Tarkenton said. "Look at his final game in a Packers uniform [the 2007 NFC title game]. He blew that game against the Giants. He's playing against Eli Manning. I love Eli Manning, but he's still not a great quarterback. He's not Peyton yet, or Tom Brady. He's just a guy. And [the Packers] are playing at home, and they're in a tight situation, they went to overtime and [Favre] throws the interception that allows [the Giants] to come back and win the game." Fran Tarkenton _______________________ It's not over. Ted has to go and Brett must come back. Brett can still play plus he has a chip on his shoulder. Come on fans to the streets and protest this slap in the face. Let Brett play 1 year then make him the GM. Its the right thing to do! Dan I love the old packers, from Nebraska  _______________________Hey Beerkid, I recently attended a "Border Battle" (Twins vs. Brewers) at the Humpty Dump with my daughter and I spotted this guy and his sign. You've gotta love those Brewer fans. You couldn't throw a rock in the dome without hitting a Brewers fan holding two (or more) beers in his/her hands. BTW, The Twins swept the series. PACKER PAUL - Minneapolis, MN. _______________________ Malignant Brett Favre Virus Infects Millions of PC's This guy is infectious  Bobby _______________________ I may be an old hippie dawg but thank you for acknowledging what to me is the most important of all holidays. Never ever forget the cost of freedom and please never take it for granted. I thought this was beautifully evidenced yesterday by the dear girl who was imprisoned in Iran who kept herself sane by singing the Star Spangled Banner in her Iranian cell, and kissed the ground and cried for her freedom upon return to the USA yesterday. Welcome home honey! My eternal gratitude to all our brave soldiers down through the centuries, I am sure all of our families have been touched, often more than once, by this cost of freedom to which I earlier referred.

More Technical Difficulties...
 For that small group of you that recently saw the parking-page when you stopped by this morning and started wondering where the hell we went... well we didn't go anywhere of our own volition. Instead, our host provider, first get out your 10-foot poles if you're planning to touch, Bizland.Com, decided to park our website this morning. Great default choice there guys!!! I loved Bizland for years, but they have done a bunch of crazy shit this year over passwords, new profile settings that default wrong, etc etc etc... that I'm close to jumping ship away from their services. For additional praise, my thanks goes to the nice young lady at Network Solutions, yes they charge an arm and a leg for PackerPalace.com but they did pick up the phone within 5 minutes, and within 2 minutes I was informed that it was Bizland's issue that was screwing up everything. Difficulties resolved and I didn't even need to go to our on-site IT Guy's help, which is a good thing, because Norbert always drinks the rest of my beer when he's over "helping out" with any computer problems and those last 2 Torpedo Extra IPA's are for me to drink today. In regards to the picture of the typewriter company Corona's version of a suitcase sized Lugg-able, I guess they called it a Portable Computer. Our office called it Lugg-able. I actually worked on one those things for years, it was dragged around everywhere to client sites, and at the end of it's life you had to tap the hard-drive casing lightly and repeatedly to get the thing to boot-up.

World's Greatest Liar... (almost humor)
| Pinocchio, Snow White, and Superman are out for a stroll in town one day. As they walked, they come across a sign: "Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world." "I am entering!" said Snow White. After half an hour she comes out and they ask her, "Well, how'd ya do?" "First Place!" said Snow White. They continue walking and they see a sign: "Contest for the strongest man in the world." "I'm entering," says Superman. After half an hour, he returns and they ask him, "How did you make out?" "First Place," answers Superman. "Did you ever doubt?" They continue walking when they see a sign: "Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?" Pinocchio enters. After half an hour he returns with tears in his eyes. "What happened?" they asked. "I finished 3rd, who in the hell are Brad Childress and Brett Favre?" asked Pinocchio. **** joking joking just joking and maybe a little harsh on BC and BF... I guess you can't say that talking out of both sides of your mouth and withholding information is technically lying. joking joking just joking. **** I was going to elaborate some more and make light of this whole what is "BF up to this week™... and I just don't have the energy to even care what he does anymore, blah blah blah. Brett ol' buddy, play if you want to, play for the Vikes if you want to. I'll just leave it at the hi-jacked joke up above and look forward to upcoming offseason workouts and the eventual start of training camp for the Green Bay Packers.

Technical Issues Resolved...
 (friday 1000hrs) Norbert, our on-site Technical Administrator said that something was going on again and we're experiencing some issues at Packer Palace... so don't worry, Norbert's on the case, after he finishes his morning beer, well, actually, that should be after he finishes the last of my Torpedo Extra IPA... Thanks to everyone for your patience... BeerKid (friday 1100hrs) Sort Of Bad News... Packer Palace is in a, let's say, manual update mode over some password issues. Good News... Because everything else is working just fine and the current situation only affects BK that gives me time to ponder on the problem while I have a 2nd Ale. Oh that's tasty! Norbert (friday 1200hrs) Any updates??? BeerKid (friday 1201hrs) Yes, the new Star Trek Movie is pretty damn good, and Ahem! You. Are. Out. Of. Beer. No Beer Makes Norbert No Work... Norbert (friday 1210hrs) Any updates on my problem posting at Packer Palace? BeerKid (friday 1300hrs) Yo Norbert? What's going on? BeerKid (friday 1320hrs) I don't think you read the last of his previous message - "No Beer Makes Norbert No Work..." non-Editorial Staff (friday 1400hrs) WTF??? Fine, here's the last beer I was saving it for myself when you (friday 1420hrs) Danka!. The situation is as it was before, the problem revolves around (friday 1500hrs) Time's up. No more beer and way past time to get the hell out, bye bye BK, the work week is over and I'm out of here!!! See you Monday... Norbert (friday 1450hrs) Aaaaahhhh fake date stamp or whatever, it's not 3pm let alone 5pm yet..... Friday or not, Norbert???? I have more beer... BeerKid (saturday 1150hrs) You have Spew Off Speak Out... So we finally pushed BeerScout out the door and safely off to his Bigfoot gathering up in Washington, well, it's formally called the "Yakima Bigfoot Round-Up" and with over 300 in attendance, with some of the major players in the Sasquatch World, and with a tribute to Bob Gimlin of the Patterson-Gimlin Film in the plans. I'm sure he'll have one grand time and we look forward to any pictures.... of Bigfoot, but we'll settle for the after conference Party Shots!!! BF is still dangling us with the same old stuff we went through a thousand times last summer.... really hard to get riled up about anything he does these days. So go ahead and play for the Vikes, if that's what glides your lawn-mower, then let it be... Breaking News!!! Packers expected to win the NFC North this year!!! BeerKid - Pack For Life! |
| ________________________________ A lot of craps been said, I even said some of it...but you can't be a Packer Fan and place anyone, any single player, coach, administrator, above the team. You also can not, absolutely can not, say your embarrassed to be a Packer Fan, regardless of who the GM is or what the circumstances are. So, excited about the defense's direction, the OLine opportunities, ARod and the offense! SCHRADES ________________________________ Brett Favre Mails Arm To Vikings May 14, 2009 | | Onion Sports
________________________________ Hey Beerkid... As you know I reside near the outskirts of Minneapolis and let me tell you, a lot of Vi-Queen fans want to see Brett in a God Awful Purple uniform, but just as many would rather not see it happen at all. When the news was first circulating about his possible un-retirement #2 (Now for the record, his un-retirement #1 still falls on the shoulders of the "Village Idiot" at 1265 Lombardi Avenue since TT forced Brett into retirement before he was 100% ready)... but I digress. I like to call this current stage in Brett's prestigious HOF career the "What The Favre" stage. Okay, everyone together… "WHAT THE FAVRE?!" (a.k.a. WTF!) It seems amazing to me that Da-Queens organization are holding onto the hope that OUR (And always will be the PACKERS) number 4 (3xMVP), soon to be 40 year old in October QB will lead them to another Super Bowl.... Loss that is. Brett needs to ask himself, "Self, why don't I just remain retired instead of battling myself back into a long season only to find the team I am a part of SUCKS as does the Head Coach, the stadium (a.k.a. The Humpty Dump) and the fans, and possibly go on to win the NFC Championship but only to lose the Super Bowl?" Brett will soon find out how the fan base (or lack there of) around here for Da-Queens is piss poor and he will miss the loyalty of our beloved GREEN BAY PACKERS fans (In good times or bad, Loyal to the F'n core)!! With that said, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. I will say for the record that my family and I are still planning on a trip to Canton when Brett is inducted, I will still respect the man, the player and the legend should he decide to step out of retirement and sign with Da-Queens and I will thank God everyday that it's only Da-Queens as the team in question, and not Da-Bears. GO PACK GO and Brett please remain on your rider mower and enjoy your first of many "off seasons" with your family. See you in Canton Amigo! PACKER PAUL - Minneapolis, MN. ________________________________ I'm not sure how applicable this is but there seems to be all this debate over Brett and if he's doing the right thing and why I should or should not condemn him for what he's doing. Personally, it's this simple for me: Brett played in GB effectively forever. Near the end, things got crappy for him with management. (Never the fans, as I recall.) Judging by his actual late-season stats recently, it's looking more and more like TT might have been right about him as a player. (Gulp!) But then there's the issue of how I'm supposed to "feel", as a Packer (and a Brett Favre) fan. Briefly, I'm upset. His actions might not be patently wrong and he might be well within his legal rights to do whatever he wants, but the fact remains that it sucks. There are many things I can legally do to people to make them not like me, and that's what Brett appears to be doing. That said, it's his choice. Likewise, it's my choice to feel betrayed and a bit pissed. I know the BF apologists will tell me how TT treated him unfairly - but I just don't care. He has millions upon millions of dollars that our fandom paid him to help heal his hurt feelings. His fans did nothing to hurt him. In fact, there were factions of us trying in vain to get him back to Green Bay. However, by these actions, it's us who are made to pay. It seems sometimes the problem is that people are so concerned about if they are "allowed" to do something that they rarely stop to think if they "should". Monkey ________________________________ WOW, Maybe I am over estimating the Packers, but last year seems to be an annomally compared to the NFC Championship run in 07. Raji immediately upgrades the D-line and will make everyone better including Jenkins. With Harrel and Jolly playnig ends this D-line has the makings to very good for many years. This new defense should allow Barnett,Hawk to become better playmakers. Remeber we only lost four games by less than 4 pts and two in OT, with the injuries last year and hard schedule it is easy to see why 6-10 was the result. With this years schedule there is no reason to get off to a 8-0 record. I may be Ted Thompsons only fan on the planet, He doesnt spend carelessly in FA, rather he saves the $$ to sign our own valuable players, i.e. Greg Jennings and Nick Collins. His drafts have been great!!! this years draft especially. The only regrets I have are two. 1. Releaseing the punter Ryan one week before the opener(cost us valuable field position in several games) and 2. Letting Tracy White LB go and watch our special teams desinergrate, I never did like Mike Stock anyhow. This team is primed to be a great team. We could of had Alex Smith(who?) QB instead of Rogers. As far as Favre goes, let him go to the Vikqueens, I know its business but Favre cant seem to ride into the sunset. I think his shoulder is toast, and he will ultimatlely embarass himself by trying to play again. Dont get me wrong, I love Favre the GB Favre, my mancave is totally dedicated to him, however enough is enough. I would have took the 20 million from the Packers to stand on the sidelines and in the pressbox and do PR things the Packers wanted him to do. I am very disappointed that most publications have the Packers finishing third behind Minnesota and Chicago. I think they are a Playoff team, with the easy schedule and some luck we could go 11-5 this year. Go pack Go!!!!!!! Packman ________________________________ First of all I wanna say that this whole Favre saga is annoying me. I understand his motives for wanting to play for the Queens, but I feel he should move on from his anger at the Packer organization. In my opinion his better move would be to stay retired and vow to never show his face in Wisconsin ever again especially after TT is gone. Or go to work with any division rival as a coach or in the front office. It would be weird cheering for the slaying of Favre when they take on the Green and Gold and partly feeling like you are giving Thompson the satisfaction. But he would be for the hated Purple. As for the new 3-4 for defense. I think it is a brilliant move. Granted there will be some growing pains the first year or two but over all it is a step in the right direction. That style of defense in my opinion is way more intimidating that the 4-3. Jared S ________________________________ I am a Packer fan, I was a #4 fan until he showed that when TT wouldn't let him play, GM, Coach, and QB; he was just a little spoiled child. He used to just want to play football, now he has sunk into a Diva that wants only to hurt the people who worshiped him. He is destroying what could have been a wonderful legacy. So Sad!!! dfarmer ________________________________ Long time Packer fan won't be happy with Packers until thompson is out of here! Creek ________________________________ I hate being a "PACKER FAN".I hate Ted "The SHAM" Thompson and I'm ashamed of being a Packerfan.Now I understand why S(aints) fans used to wear paperbags over their heads.Cant even imagine what its like to be a Lion or Bengal fan feels like.But, I got a stinking suspicion Im gonna know.These will be the darkest days til The "SHAM" is gone. chilwil86 ________________________________ I'm also Packers Fan first. As a matter of fact, I'm the most loyal Packers Fan there is! Proof you ask? I think the gasoline soaked Wranglers used as kindling to ingnite the flames that now engulf my 500Z, Zero Turn, 3-blade, OHV Twin, Snapper mower speaks for itself. The only thing worse than a Favre-bot is a Teddy-whiner...Go Pack GO! Uh-Oh, Honey! get the kids outta the house!...and call 911. Frigg'n selfish Favre, look what he's caused NOW!
