My stepson once asked whether Santa Claus was real and I replied "Michael, you'll be getting your driver's license next week, and no, Santa is not getting you a car."

Keiana was close to 8 and the girl I was dating got really ticked off at me because I wouldn't give some fat rosy cheeked white bearded stranger all the credit for the gifts I had worked my ass off to purchase and then wrapped. The funny thing is, when I told Keiana I was Santa she just laughed at me and told me I was silly. Basically, the more I told her I was Santa, the more she didn't believe me lol.

My girls are now 17, 12, 10 and 16 months old. I told them when they stop believing that Santa, Easter Bunny, etc are real, that is when they will stop receiving gifts.

So, if you ask any of my girls, they will straight out tell you ... SANTA IS REAL YOU BIG JERK!!!

By the same token when we went to see the rat in FL they were excited seeing all the characters even though they knew they were not real.

Does anyone have any horror stories about how their kids (or friends kids) flipped out when they heard Santa wasn't real. Personally I do not know of a single instance where a kid made a big deal out of it. The vast majority of times the kids already have an inkling because they have heard their friends talking and such. One time a particularly bright 6 year old told her dad "It's about time you realize that. I've known since I was three and I figured if you didn't come around soon we'd have to call the guys in the little white coats."

OK, that's not true I just thought is was kind of funny. Sometimes I wonder though if people like Jeffry Dahmer or Ted Bundy might not have turned out differently if their parents had not lied to them about Santa and the tooth fairy.

I asked her if she really loved him. Naturally she said she did. I told her to then let him grow up at a normal pace. I pointed out a couple of guys who had been mothered to death when they were young and asked her if that is what she wanted her son to be like. She changed her mind and he was playing army and falling out of trees and breaking his arm with the rest of the 5 year old boys.

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (17h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (21h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (21h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley
