How we all doing?
I found myself really bummed out after the game ended. Following a team for 162 games and then all the sudden the season is done in two games. Those games could have gone either way, we didn't get the breaks. We hit the ball hard several times with runners in scoring position and it seemed like worst case scenario kept happening. I enjoyed this team a ton and wished this season would have gone a bit longer.
So awesome to see this team accomplish their first goal! I wonder how they'll play tomorrow after the party?
Also... I've brought this up before but how can we get the Brewers to release this jersey again for purchase. It's so clean and perfect!
Money talks. If he could get a ridiculous contract and manage in NY, and his family stays in Milwaukee, I think he'd consider. I never thought he'd leave, but at some point, money can make people change their minds.
What is everyone's take on Garrett Wilson rest of season? Luckily I went heavy WR so it's not killing me, but just wondering if it's best to trade him at this point. I'm kicking myself for gettin cute and not going with St Brown or Lamb. Of course if Rodgers doesn't get hurt it's probably a different story, but still was probably a risky move overall.
Man I love that, if that's what they do. Looking forward to the game tonight. Anyone else get blacked out on MLB.tv last night like me? I couldn't figure out why.
I think Rodgers has a really tough rehab ahead of him and I've never thought he was much of a grinder when it came to the working out side of football. I could be wrong on that. I know he works on his throwing craft a lot, but he's more yoga and stretching isn't he? I could see this being the end, but I hope he actually tries to come back.
The Jets need a game manager that can also get the ball to Garrett Wilson. I'm not sure who that is but I don't think it's Zack. My trade candidates would be Winston or Minshew. I think I'd take Nick Foles over Wentz. Cam doesn't make sense, he can't throw.
I honestly think Brady should consider. They are super bowl ready.
Tyler Algier would be a good one. He's going to probably lose carries as the year goes on, but right now they are as super heavy run team, so there is room for two RBs. Kyren Williams and Kenneth Gainwell would be the other two I'd look at, but I'm not sure either can be a work horse.
I don't know if we need a full IL stint, but I love the idea of a couple games off each week down the stretch to get him rested. I'm all for trying it.
Agreed, no matter how far out a poster's opinion is, they don't deserve to be bashed. I'm very conservative when it comes to pitchers so I think it was the right move to pull him. Not only do we have a playoff race on our hands but the potential trade value he brings us in the offseason is also something to be cautious with. We need him healthy.
How are we feeling about the Van Ness pick so far? Haven't seen a ton on him and I know he's a bit of a project, long term pick. Was just curious what the sentiment is on here.
Boy this is going to be a wild one. I can't wait to watch and hopefully not get too stressed out! Looking for the Crew to set the tone tonight and get off to a good start. Wrigley should be electric!
I just came to say I'll miss him. He always seemed happy and having fun out there. I wish him nothing but good luck in his new place and hope he can get his mojo back.
Taking your Packer homer hats off, how do you think this team will do in 2023? Do we think Love can be better than average for his career? I was impressed with the way he looked last year. He looked like he had figured things out. That said, I'm still worried about what I've seen in the past, a qb that would just throw the ball up when he was under pressure.
Louis Ely - Son of two teachers, I think we count! That's amazing that there are so many teachers on here. Thanks for what you all do!
Crazy this thread just popped up because I was crunching numbers on our retirement accounts just this weekend to see how we are doing. We are a little ahead of where we should be using some basic rule of thumb calculations, so that was nice to see. I think what we are struggling with is what do we want in retirement. That is obviously a big part of understanding where you need to be at certain ages. Also when do we want to retire. I feel like that all could change depending on what our kids end up doing and where they end up.
As others have said, just put that money away and start right away. It's so important.
Madbad2000 - That's a great way of looking at things. Don't keep chasing more as your career progresses. We've started to pull back on things like cars. I'm going to try and follow that mindset!
