With all due respect to what you and yours went through, that was not a defeat, that was a miraculous triumph by an incredible little girl if you ask me. Then again, when you refer to the last 1.5 year I could be mistaken on what you're referring to.

When it comes to Badgers and Packers, it's on.

I'm not sure how I got us to this point in a thread about Donovan McNabb going to the Vikings, lol.

Edit, very true, being told how you'd react to something is awfully annoying.

I certainly didn't think you meant it as people actually giving up their Viking fandom.

I admit that my Viking fandom has waned in recent years. But that has nothing to do with the Vikings themselves, instead I've started to really enjoy college football that much more than the NFL game. That and the recent lockout/strike left a really bitter taste in my mouth.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

Facts are, the Packers have sold out every game for a long time. And the team didn't have to "buy" tickets to make them sell outs. So some people didn't show up to the game. So what?
They may have VERY valid reasons for not being able to use their tickets.
A few empty seats doesn't mean squat.

Are Packer fans more "fans" then in other states? I don't know. I know many rabid fans of other teams. Formo is one of them. And i don't expect him to become a Packer fan any more then i would become a Vikings fan.
The only reason i would want him to become a Packer fan is because he's a great guy, and deserves to KNOW what it feels like to back a winning team.
Fact is, he's a loyal fan of HIS team, and not a "fair weather fan".
You gotta respect that!

TheKanataThrilla (14h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
