There are so many examples of that aren't there? No they are not hiding anything. The truth is out there (hey, that would make a great tagline for a TV show) they are just not putting it out front. I'd say on a scale of 1-10 (1 being a total non issue) 10 being and absolute disgrace I would put this at a 2 or maybe 2.5 and the only reason I say that is because 19 other teams apparently didn't take money and I would like to think the Packers would be leading the way in issues like this.

I guess you don't see that there is a difference between what is clearly a paid advertisement and leading the public to believe you're putting on displays of patriotism because you care about the military and want to "honor" them. It is not honoring when you're paid to do it.

It's an honor when a young lady accepts your request for a date. It is a dishonor when a prostitute takes your money for one but you guys don't seem to be able to reconcile huge differences in approaches.

As for Ted Thompson, you choose not to get it... you guys constantly credit him for things that are actually the opposite of reality. Why can't I choose to be like you guys and blame him for something that he doesn't deserve blame for? It's no different than what you do it's just in reverse. Again, you don't see the differences just like in the paid vs. not paid thing. There is a HUGE difference.

Take your date home to mom and she's all happy thinking you found a nice girl...then tell her later she was actually a whore you paid to be on your arm at the get together. Is mama going to think the same about it? You guys sure want to think the same about what the Packers did. None of you knew those oh so patriotic displays were really paid infomercials. It did your heart good to see our org be so honoring to our military. We come to find out there was no honor in it at all...only money. Money whoring as I think nerd would probably call it. Yet, you want to say it's not an issue...there's nothing wrong with it even though what you thought is light years from reality. There is some irony in that all by itself but it's surely lost on you.

Honestly, I'm amazed at how you guys look at things. The things you don't see.

It's no different than if the Badgers wanted to recruit young athletes for their various programs.

No NFL team has to be PAID in order to honor troops who have either served or sacrificed in combat. Get real.

Seems more like you are just obsessed. You cant even discuss anything about this team you supposedly care about or any of the players on it without spending most or all of your words on tt. I dont see how you can even enjoy the game at this point. Maybe its time to take a step back or find a different team to pull for until evil ted is gone.

I don't believe that these 14 teams were the only ones to honor the military so if the military only gave money to these 14 teams who paid for the ones they didn't give the money to?

I would have a hard time believing the military would say something like "we will give money to the Packers and not the Jaguars because more people watch the Packer games." I'd like to know if this is something that the military offers to all teams and only some take advantage of it or if it is only offered to select teams.

So like the WI National Guard would be likely to advertise with the Pack, because they have like a 96% viewership in NE Wisconsin, and very high in the rest of the state. But the Florida National Guard might not invest as heavily in the Jags, because, well no one cares about them.

I'm seeing that more now and if it is the national guard that would make sense. I wouldn't expect the WI national guard to advertise with any team other than the Packers.

I'd still like to know who pays for the tributes when performed by the other 18 teams who didn't take any money from the military. Maybe its private donations or corporate sponsors or maybe the team picks up the tab. All in all I'd rather see the Packers on the not taking money list than on the taking money list but I don't think it is a big deal.

I seriously think that Uffda just does this stuff to see who he can get a rise out of. I don't think even he believes half of what he says.

And maybe, just maybe, he wrote Ted several times, and Ted didn't reply to him. So he's ticked off at him and wants to blame EVERYTHING on him! You know....."slighted lover" thing???😝

And maybe they advertised with the Vikings, because they know that Vikings fans are vunerable. You know, they don't have anything to do after the regular season is over.😂 🤣

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 (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
