@PeteDougherty : A source says the #Packers waived TE Devin Frishknecht injured, which means they reached an injury settlement.

what a shame, hope he gets well

Frischknecht is a very strange name. Frisch means "fresh" or "refreshing," while knecht means "servant" or "menial laborer."

A refreshing servant. Hmmm . . . :downtown:

Sounds German. Could be Dutch as well, but then it'd be a rare name and not too common.

Frisch could stand for the province of Friesland, written in old Dutch. 'Frisch' could be derived from 'Frische' and 'knecht' means servant here as well.

Would make sense that that last 'e' would've fallen away somewhere down the generations. Just like writing Vanden Bosch, while Van Den and Van De is very common in front of last names over here.

Getting way off topic here, though. Sorry.

Well, regardless of what the ethnicity of the name is, it DOES translate directly from German, so as far as I am concerned, it's German. 😉

Lol. My guess would be German as well, it just makes for such a weird translation.

Apparently, a bunch of them have gattered in Utah. Maybe we should go there once and ask them. Lol.

He broke his fibia and tibia, he was operated shortly after the game, and he is reponding well

They normally put down horses for that kind of injury, so he's lucky, to say the least. 😉
