He won a gold medal. And your, and my, hometown is awesome. I don’t know him well enough to make pronouncements on how he is as a human being.

Trestman lost the respect of the Bears players long before the final game last season. He was dead man walking from about the fourth week onwards. For sure after they got their doors blown off on a Sunday night at Lambeau.

The NHL got themselves into a bind because it decided that ties were a problem. However they couldn’t use the regular overtime rules because games would take forever, so they did five minutes of 5 on 5 before a shootout. Cause shootouts are EXCITING!!! (No...they are not). No one was scoring in these OTs, so now they…

Doesn’t the ref usually reply with the same eligible signal so that the linesmen know he is eligible?

So where is the league ranked among the best in the world. Somewhere around 10-15 I am assuming? That’s respectable considering how young it is, where it started and how important it is to the domestic audience. Just stop with the “we’ll be as good as the top leagues in Europe in a decade stuff.” No you won’t. Just…

Hold on. The NASCAR season isn’t over yet?

So the more people “hearing about it” is the measure by which you honor someone?

On the one hand, the NFL is dumb for enforcing its rules against such a harmless gesture. On the other hand, honoring your father by writing his nickname on your eye black is a pretty meaningless gesture to begin with. Aren’t there better things Cameron can do with $16,000+ to honor him?

No. You just have to maintain possession during the process of going to the ground. That would be a catch in the NFL.

Fired is a bit of a stretch, but suspended yes. He is the head coach and actively engaged in unsportsmanlike behavior by pretending that a 20 year old pushed him.

Actually my guess is that something happened recently that motivated him to do this ASAP.

And a lot of people thought the Dykes hire wasn’t a good fit for either party.

I know right? I remember saying to myself 20 years ago that I would be satisfied with one Super Bowl victory in my lifetime. And here I am bitching that two might not be enough. Perspectives change I guess.

Hey you are pretty much talking about my childhood as a Packer fan. And it was ONE playoff win!

How about having HoF quarterbacks for nearly 25 years and only getting two Super Bowl wins out of it. (Do I sound greedy?)

Raideresque = Basking in a glory that ended 30 years ago and making meaningless rebellious gestures instead of instituting actual organizational change. That’s pretty much Al Davis’ legacy as I see it.

Thank you. I misremembered.

Yeah but you can’t blame Dortmund for not selling him. They made a great run to the Champions League final with him.

I have a hard time making fun of this guy. He seems nice and genuine, without much bullshit. Our society would be so much better off with more people like him.

His powers are expanding. He taught his defense how to disappear yesterday!!!
