  1. Forest Park, which has an art museum and zoo is pretty nice. Zoo might not be great in the rain, but was raining off and on when we were there and was ok. Should definitely eat at Pappy’s Smokehouse. Awesome ribs and deep fried corn on the cob. Brewery probably a better choice than the park though.
  2. Pulled it out while having Taysom Hill starting and see him go out in the 2nd quarter. Was a nail biter but Deebo did what he did all season for me and I won by 4 points. Picking Deebo in the equivalent of round 5 this year was a stretch but it worked out. My two keepers were Derrick Henry and Kittle, drafted Edwards-Helare and Lamar Jackson before taking Deebo. Got pretty much nothing from those first 4 in the championship. Made a trade for Johnathan Taylor in week 3, but he was a bit of a let down this week as well compared to what he had been doing and his opponent. Penney proved a huge pick up for me for the playoffs as well.
  3. Aaand they are indeed running it up. Good call lol. Thanks, made it to the championship. I'm not a fan of doing the championship on the last week of the year, I guess we'll see what happens.
  4. I was considering Taysom but I think I will roll with Mac. I don't want to risk Huntley against the Rams D, especially with how poor the Ravens offense can be at times. I'm hoping Patriots will run it up on the Jags and that 4 pass performance against the Bills was due to weather. But Mac hasn't been very good lately. I guess it's a gamble no matter what. If the weather looks bad in Boston I think I will pick up Hill.
  5. League does championship in week 18, so in semis. Had Lamar Jackson as my QB, picked up Mac Jones cuz he's playing the Jags. available on the waiver wire is Trey Lance, Tyler Huntley, Ryan Tannehill, Tua, Taysom, Baker and Andy Dalton. I'm planning to stay with Mac, if anyone has reasons why I should pick up someone else let me know.
  6. I'm saying true as that's how I drafted him. I think the only thing that stops Deebo is injury.
  7. Play in a keeper league where we keep two guys and draft normally after that. Drafted Deebo Samuel in the 3rd (normal 5th) this year and immediately regretted it knowing I could have got him later. Feeling a little better about it right now.
  8. I'm happy he showed on time and addressed his issues straight forward. At least I can respect that. I don't really feel he should be that involved in personnel decisions, have some input, fine. But as others have noted, most of the moves and veterans that have been let walk away have been good moves by the front office. They don't need to be second guessed in their personnel decisions imo based on their history.
  9. If he's not in camp day 1 but ends up playing for the Pack this year, I'd like to hear a chorus of boos from Lambeau. Petty? Probably, but it would be good to send him a message that we as fans don't appreciate the charade.
  10. There are certainly plenty here who agree with this but I feel like it is mostly spite and I hope the Packers are smart enough to realize that is not in their best interest. I don't want Love getting the starting job with that in the news every week. I like the Jeudy idea but any team trading for Rodgers is going to go all in with him over the next 3 years and probably want to keep their current team in tact other than maybe sending back their QB for cap purposes. Not everyone plays the perennial long game like the Pack, a lot of teams are just fine with taking a shot knowing they could have a few tough years after it is over. I should have clarified, between trading him or letting him "retire," I'm going with retire if they can't get Jeudy caliber players back. If they're getting draft picks it doesn't matter when they trade him, the draft isn't until spring. And him sitting is better than the chance of him beating the Packers in the playoffs if it came to that. I don't think the return changes much for picks if you wait it out, and you might get a few more teams interested. Ideally he shows up to camp and we can move on, but this episode has tainted my already not stellar view of him. Great football player, complete narcissist. He has had plenty of opportunities to voice his grudge but instead prefers to be a mystery man, I'm over him.
  11. I'd rather see him sit out the season, unless you get some top end talent. The draft picks are the same now or after the season. If you can get Jeudy and/or a couple guys of that caliber, go for it. If not let him sit it out. I agree until camp starts this whole thing has been meaningless. If he shows up then whatever. But if it drags out past camp he is a world class prima donna. He looks like a diva even if he shows and plays this year, I'm over him and Adams too if he goes this route with the Last Dance tweet. Move on and get people in that want to play in Green Bay. They talk about team and the people then publicly overshadow the team every chance they get.
  12. I’m ready for the Love era myself. Not a fan of this drama by Rodgers. Let him retire, trade him after June 1 or let him play, I don’t care. Just quit talking about it in the media. Makes Rodgers look like a primodanna. And it basically looks like a contract negotiation tactic. I’m all for Green Bay playing hard ball.
  13. No matter my feelings on the posts in this thread, I appreciate that I'm forced to not be in an echo chamber. I still have my informed opinion, but I also respect everyone's here, and it has made me respect the opinion of those around me more as well.
  14. I received a BS in a hard science from UW-Eau Claire fifteen years after I graduated high school. Went to UW-Madison right out of high school, but was too immature at the time and only stayed one year. Eau Claire has done some major campus improvements in the last 10 years but was still affordable. Then I did a masters program in engineering at Michigan Tech, which was very high for out of state, but as a graduate student I was able to get the in-state rate. The in-state rate was still more than double what Eau Claire was. I don't know about their salaries, but most professors in my majors were exceptional teachers and people, and I have no doubt could make more in industry. The liberal arts education for the most part was valuable. If for nothing else, than to build relationships with people you normally wouldn't. And the on-campus experience is a must. Even as a non-traditional student I learned the most during the interaction with my classmates. Some might feel university is a waste of time, but it was the best decision I made and put me in a place in life where I love what I do and am well compensated for it. Before I went back I had done construction and factory work. I learned a lot in both, and both have helped me in what I do now, but neither offered the long term growth and stability that I have now. I apologize if this is too far OT.
  15. You don't get the point Reilly is making. The last thing you want to do is introduce Covid-19 to a hospital without being able to identify it. It will spread and some of the most vulnerable happen to be there. If you are saying they have the capability to test but are using resources for a spike that's one thing, though I wouldn't agree. But you are just neglecting the testing part completely.
