The Way a Packers Forum Should Be
https://packers-huddle.com/phpBB/
Doesn’t mean someone wasn’t in the house. I have a good friend who told people her husband was beating her. But because she was on meds no one believed her. Until one day she showed up n the ER. He had beat her so bad she laid on the garage floor for 2 days before she could drag her ass to the hospital. Once out she left him and he continued with saying she was crazy for years.
Well, he did shoot. So I'm sure if there was an intruder, he bolted. But yeah, I never make assumptions when it comes to initial reports because you never know the real facts right away. Not that's what you were doing, I know you are better than that. Who knows, he could be going cra-cra. We all know he has had issues in the past.APB wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 13:42Ok. Let me rephrase then.
Sounds like Griffen either has some medication imbalance going on, he's gone full cra-cra, or he actually had an intruder in the house that caused him to post pictures of himself on social media brandishing a firearm in an attempt to ward off said intruder. This assumes the intruder had his social media notifications turned on so he could note his intrusion victims current state of protection and flee while he still had the chance.
That about cover it, Raptor?
Making assumptions you know nothing about. But yeah, MN doesn't care. This is why the team sent mental health people to help.Labrev wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 11:51A sadly unsurprising development. It was very apparent since quite some time ago that Griffen was in no shape mentally to be playing this brain-destroying sport. Anyone could have seen this coming, but leave it to the NFL and a franchise like the Vikings (like the Cowboys before them) to put business ahead of player safety.$$$$$$$$$$$
Wasn't he diagnosed with some sort of bi-polar disorder in the past? Like you said, he's had issues but I'll be damned if I remember the specifics. As I alluded earlier, simply being off meds for a serious mental health issue could cause irregular behavior. Hopefully it's something as "simple" as that.Raptorman wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 16:32Well, he did shoot. So I'm sure if there was an intruder, he bolted.

Yeah, I don't remember exactly what it was, but I remember something about meds helping. I do know that certain meds have a tendency to slowly stop working over a period of time. I know my friend micro-doses with weed edibles and that is the one thing that has helped her more than any other medication. Everything else wore off after a while or made her paranoid.APB wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 16:37Wasn't he diagnosed with some sort of bi-polar disorder in the past?

Yet I am pretty sure my inkling will turn out to be correct.Raptorman wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 16:34Making assumptions you know nothing about.Labrev wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 11:51A sadly unsurprising development.

Actually, people with mental health issues such as bi-polar, can all of a sudden have incredible behavioral lapses with no symptoms beforehand. I don't think you should jump to any conclusions, as there are way too many variables that none of us know about. I just hope he will be OK. Mental illness can be a most difficult thing to deal with for both the individual and those who care about them.Labrev wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 19:05Yet I am pretty sure my inkling will turn out to be correct.Raptorman wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 16:34Making assumptions you know nothing about.Labrev wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 11:51A sadly unsurprising development.

Yes, after that, they sent help. Wow. Such player safety, much corporate responsibility.
VIKE MOMENT!
Wow. Now you know what's going to happen in the future. Good for you. Tell us, which Packer will screw up off the field in the next 6 months. I mean it has to be obvious to you, or anyone for that matter. Because we all know mental health issues are so easy to discern.Labrev wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 19:05Yet I am pretty sure my inkling will turn out to be correct.Raptorman wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 16:34Making assumptions you know nothing about.Labrev wrote: ↑24 Nov 2021 11:51A sadly unsurprising development.

I'm not stigmatizing mental illnesses like bipolar disorder and such. What I am saying is simply that someone with a history of mental breakdowns (this is not a first time thing for him, we've known this about him since 2018 at least) should not be playing a brain-destroying sport, because the consequences will ~p r o b a b l y be bad.No, I simply predicted something that came true, namely that having an at-risk individual play a brain-destroying sport would probably not end well.
Bold prediction, I know!Ha, that reminds me. Remember when you made fun of us in 2018 for having a down year while you had a Wild Card spot? I seem to remember my response going something like ~"that's a nice wild-card spot you got there, be a shame if something happened to it." WELL GUESS WHAT!?!? The Vikings Viking'd. That was funny! ^^Their stud defensive end had a terrifying mental breakdown in September (don’t worry; he came back to play more football later on, which is good for the brain!) (...)
And, topping off their masterwork with a crown of dried turds, they controlled their own destiny going into Week 17 and $%@# BLEW IT by dropping their final game at home to a Bears team that essentially had nothing to play for.
I watched that game from a hospital bed. Yes, I am a Vikings fan,
I cannot "tell" you because I have no way of knowing, but again, I can make predictions/extrapolate based on the histories (or notable lack thereof) of our players, plus our management's general greater than average aversion of players with such risks. So my guess would be, none of them.Tell us, which Packer will screw up off the field in the next 6 months. I mean it has to be obvious to you, or anyone for that matter.
Comically missing the point.And tell us, do the Packers have mental health professionals on the payroll? How many?
you can't tell a Bi Polar person they can't play football, I bet a lot of players are Bi Polar and take medications to keep stable, and if they went off the meds something like this may happen, you act as though everyone with mental illness is bound to have something bad happen, people make predictions as you have all the time, it's a avenue to say " I told you so" if it should happen, and we never hear about it again if it doesn't, it's a win, win for people to take cheap shots at others or there team, it's not as though the Packers don't have a closet full of skeletons concerning how there FO has managed the team, I wouldn't be so quick to shade Raptor or the Vikings till you accept that we've had plenty of problems of our own over the years.
