Traditionally, Baseball pitchers that toss a No-Hitter buy their catcher a gold watch or some other gift to commemorate the deed. Sports team owners pay for all of the championship rings after the team wins the championship. QBs usually treat their O-Lines to special dinners as a thank you and to foster their best efforts to protect him.
I'm not shocked that players that make millions of dollars a season are extravagant with each other. Additionally, it is a long used coaching practice to sit a player in order to get more from him when he is reinserted. While Gary has improved sense he was drafted, after nearly two seasons he is still not the player that GB had hoped that they could develop. After the season concludes, if I wee GB's GM, I'd package and trade Gary for more/better draft choices.

PS: Thank goodness you aren't GM... stupidity to trade good young players on cheap rookie contract, unless you're getting a steal of a deal... and don't freaking realize how good Gary might become if he keeps improving...

GB should not continue to hold on to a player out of pride, but cash him in ASAP before his value decreases any further. Gutekunst may be able to put a deal together where GB picks up a 3rd or possibly a 2nd round pick in return for Gary and some other sweetener.

Extravagant gifts/presents at the pay level of some sports players/coaches is nothing new.

We were given one version of events... now we're given a second version of events... they both can't both be correct.

I was just staying clear of making a judgement of which is the correct version, because I don't know for a fact...

I assume your version is correct... but it's disheartening that the story wasn't real (so I don't wanna completely let go of it just yet)... At least assuming the the story of Preston buying the entire defense scooters story was real...

Now if they're both fake, then F the pranksters and the media for the false good heart warming stories...

Maybe I heard wrong? But zadarius said they're close but not that close and Preston laughed and agreed. Maybe zadarius was saying it was a joke cuz he didn't get it approved by his wife and it was real? I dunno lol.

You forgot to not drive into Oak Trees, don't drink bleach, and wear a coat outside when it's cold.

dfosterf (22h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (27-Mar) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
