I thought for sure "hell" was gonna top the destination list. :lol:

Yeah, but for a guy who was so consumed by legacy early in his career, he sure has put a tarnish on much of his football achievements later in his career with his off field antics.

Side note: Considering this waiting game he's now playing, that's actually more Favre-ish than actually going to MN.

I still don't know why fans think a 40+ year old QB who'll be joining a new team needs to decide TODAY or he's wrong for taking his time? Maybe both teams have said we want to see how the draft plays out. Maybe he doesn't know if he wants to commit to them yet. Maybe he's just enjoying life. nobody has to wait on him, that's the thing. They don't at all. They can do whatever they want whenever they want. If their held captive by a QB that has long surpassed 99% of the QB's who've ever played the game in terms of longevity, that's their own choice. Teams and fans alike.

Are people actually surprised a guy who's spent 20 years in the NFL isn't sure if or who he wants to play for?

The guy in the video seems like a douche. Break it down logically. Aaron Rodgers is doing nothing right now. Literally. And yet this guy accuses him of wanting to be the center of attention. Besides, if nobody in fact does want Aaron Rodgers to play for their team, then why do dweebs like this guy even care how long he takes to make a decision? If nobody wants him, why is so much time spent discussing it? Lol.
Cowboy up.

It's a parody account... :roll: I thought that was pretty obvious when he suggested Rodgers go to the moon.

Looked like a good ol' run of the mill QB sneak, that wasn't LOL

Concerning the tush push rugby play,

This should be easy. any contact with a ball carrier behind the LOS as a blocker is a penalty. Done deal. Nothing else has to change.

I thought it was termed assisting the ball carrier behind the los would be penalized, such as the eagles and some others, by pushing the ball carrier from behind prior to crossing the los.

it seems it will still be allowed past the los.

I like this, to me pushing the ball carrier is not a football play, and specially in short yrd and distance :aok:

I honestly always thought this was the case, as well. You have Chuck Mercein famously saying that he wasn't signaling TD, he was making it clear he wasn't aiding the runner.

It was until sometime early or early teen 2000's. Then they basically said it was too difficult to officiate blocking down field or aiding the runner so it just became you couldn't pull them forward. And there the loophole sat for 15 years or so until the Eagles exploited it and here we sit watching rugby.

Can we blame GutenScheissenBumpst for this one? Or is this another example of LaCoach's inability to properly prepare his team for battle? Or something else?

If they're fed up, they'll move on. nobody is making them entertain Aaron Rodgers. They're choosing too. If your season is hanging on the a 40whatever year old QB with 2 decades in the league already, you're not doing a great job in the front office. Besides I think the level of respect between various front offices and players and Rodgers is much higher than that of your average fan or media talking head.

I'd say 30 minutes will be meet and greet with everybody in the building wanting to meet him and telling how great he is and how they want him in black and gold. They could talk about Superbowl 45 for an hour. Tomlin out coaching MM in the 09 game Pitt won 37 - 36 is another 20 minutes. Lunch is an hour. Looking at film. Discussing how they'd fit together. How they can crush the division with him. Whether he can give a discount to get some other star on board. You could easily spend 6 hours just looking at his highlight reel. I'd say 6 hours is nothing to guys who do this for a living. :munch:

You forget an hour convincing them to sign Lazard and bring Cobb out of retirement.
