Packers waive the white flag on 2013

Other than quieting the press questions, what does this gain them?

One of two things:  (A)  Rodgers has been leaning on him to start and Fatty is trying to nip it in the bud and make it harder for him to cave by publicly being very clear that Tolzien will start, or (B) They're setting up a diversion so the queens prepare for Tolzien and then are caught emotionally flat-footed when Rodgers trots out onto the field Sunday...  Remember...Fatty left himself a trap door on the decision by proclaiming that he hadn't yet talked to the medical staff for an update on Rodgers' condition.

Cue back to McFatty's post game press conference after the gutless Eagles performance.  The first thing Fatty says is *Tolzien will start next week.*  Then, queried by the reporter as to why that's the case--Fatty turns and glaring, shoots back--*Because I'm the head coach of this team and that's my call!*  Interesting.  Where did that come from?

Remember, we talked about this before.  Fatty ain't too bright--but he does have a lot of pride.  He's the type to overrule Rodgers just because he feels threatened by him.  Weak leaders pull rank.  Strong leaders don't need to.  Stay tuned.  I'm guessing that there will be increasing public flare-ups in the future between these two as Rodgers ego becomes less and less capable of suffering the folly of the flubber fule.
 
They had to know the Vikes and Lions had some concern that they have to prepare for Rodgers coming back, but they decided to make life easier for them. Now they can set their sights exclusively on prepping for Tolzien.

WTF is wrong with the Packers? Is there a top 10 draft prospect they've got their eye on? Are they going NBA on us and trying to tank their remaining games?

Any way you cut it, Ringo's going to be getting some pretty cheap tickets on the secondary market going forward...

The queens game is holding up.  Lot's of starved mud-ducker's here whose life could be made complete with a trip to the shrine and come back winners... Besides, who can't enjoy the cheesehead chicks packin' the extra 10 of cheese curds in their tacky sequined fleet farm blue jeans goin' full-tilt bitch on the competition in the bars from the invading Viqueen chicks in their skinny-jeans...

Good point. Must we always be the Queen's "Super Bowl" every year?

I look at it this way--if the Pack wins--that's dandy...they're still in it.  If the Pack loses...well shit--it's like the Publisher's Clearing House van just pulled up to the homes of every mother fucker west of the river...  Balloons released, party hats a'plenty, microphones shoved up asses to capture the thrill of the moment...and you know the best part?  The queens win this game and there's a damn good chance that the whole fuck-clown circus (Lezbo/Spielman/Ponder) stays around to boof the buttocks on yet a whole 'nuther season!  I'm tellin' ya--you just can't fuckin' lose with this game...

From a betting perspective, it makes perfect sense. Pack haven't lost 4 straight since Rodgers first year. Season is on the line. The Vikings suck. Pack is at home and they are motherfucking DUE.

We're still going to lose.

Vikings by 7...maybe more.

Greg Jennings fucks his sister post victory on the 50 yard line.

It gets worse, JnC.  He fucks Favre's sister too.

LMAO!  Tell me--how could you ever wake up next to that and reconcile your life from that point forward?

Secondary market for a road game I doubt it............. Next season its Buffalo, Miami, New Orleans and Tampa Bay on the road + NFC West same place finisher + DET, CHI and MINN.

Put me down for Jets tickets, Ringo. I'm hoping to see Rex if they don't fire him. Great game. Ground and Pound!

Shit happens.  I was young.  It was 1970.  I met a pretty young girl.  We had some mescaline.  And now Beer is my offspring.

Sweet Jesus, what did I ever do to deserve this???
