Of course they do. I just enjoy taking any shot I can at a guy who I just don't want to hear about anymore. I haven't said or typed his name in well over a year. I refuse to fuel the attention addiction by confirming who I am talking about.

So another bitter Packers fan. Awesome. He hurt my feelings and I'm still pouting about it three years later! :mad:

You don't know what will or won't happen anymore than I do, but it clearly looks like everything but Favre and the WRs being in sync is the only negative right now. Whether or not that will get solved remains to be seen.

Hank Baskett will lead this team to the promised land!!!!!!! :D

Bitter? Not a bit. Tired of it? 100%. I don't care where or if he plays. I just don't want to hear about it constantly. I don't like selfish attention hounds. Same reason I can't stand Lebron and he never did anything to my favorite team.

btw - the MNF announcers swooned over Rodgers as the 2nd coming which is another reason I'm annoyed. At least Favre earned his stripes before he received such praise, whereas by comparsion Romo doesn't get away from legitimate criticism for his failures, even if everyone but Denny Green crowned their NFCE arse during the preseason. :D

To be fair, Gruden would give Ryan Leaf a verbal reacharound if he could.

The praise does seem a little much sometimes, but what flaws would you have had them point out? Rodgers wasn't spotless last night, but his mistakes were few and far between- and none of them were too egregious. Given the lack of any sort of running game from Green Bay, the pressure from the Bears and comparing his game to the types of boneheaded plays you saw out of Cutler last night, how else would you have them talk about Rodgers?
 
Re: NFL 2010 - Cap & Trade

The only part I thought was a little much was the putting him on the same level as Brady, Manning, and Brees.

He is obviously good, maybe great, but I am not sure we should be putting on par with those 3 quite yet.

I hadn't really seen Rodgers until last night. He was scary good. Of course the hype machine always needs somebody to fawn over -- they did it with Favre and Brady and Manning and now they have the shiny new toy.

It's mind-numbing to listen to, but it doesn't debase the actual currency. He's freaking good.

He can play to that level of skill, but it is a little premature because his body of work isn't extensive enough to say he's accomplished as much as they have. That was the frustrating part about Monday night was the huge gap in QB play. Cutler was tossing it up for grabs enough where he would have had a 4 or 5 INT game had the Packers been able to get out of their own way long enough to let him do it.
 
Re: NFL 2010 - Cap & Trade

Due to poor drafting, I have too many players on byes this week and can't field a full lineup in one of my leagues. I'm short a tight end. My free agent options include Aaron Hernandez, Tony Moeaki, Jeremy Shockey, Kevin Boss. But to pick one of them up I'd have to either:

A) Drop Josh Scobee and play without a kicker
B) Drop D-NYG and play without a defense (hahaha yes I am already playing without a defense you are so funny to make that joke that has not occurred to me before)
C) Drop Dez Bryant or Jamaal Charles or Thomas Jones or Dexter McCluster and potentially not be able to get them back next week (note that my league gives points for return yards on par with rushing and receiving yards, making Bryant and especially McCluster more useful than they'd be otherwise)

Or of course:

D) Play without a tight end (Witten is my regular tight end so I'm not going to just drop him and pick up a replacement, even though he's off to a slow start)

Thoughts?
