I’m not jealous or bitter at all. I just hate most packer fans and their “we” mentality.

No, no bitterness there. Ok, whatever. You just &#039;hate&#039; for no reason. You just posted like 3 of your own lesser novels on this thread for no reason.  That makes sense.  lol]]></description>

Yes, you&#039;re right Sherlock. 

There&#039;s also a museum at Walnut Grove, MN in your own &quot;prairie state&quot; of Minnesota. Just do a Wikipedia. She was born and lived in Pepin, WI along the Mississippi River (beautiful area btw) for the first decade of her life, on the basis of which she wrote “Little house in the Big Woods.” But then she moved to Walnut Grove, MN on the basis of which she wrote the more familiar &quot;Little House on the Prairie.&quot; (Later she moved further west into prairie country, living in South Dakota, and finally living in Missouri.)  Heck, as far as I’m concerned, as far as the winter weather goes, I’d much prefer the “dairy state” with its hills and trees to lessen the windchill than a flat, treeless  “prairie state” like most of Minnesota is. But hey, if you&#039;re from the Twin Cities, I can&#039;t expect you to necessarily know that, since as one whose lived in different parts of Minnesota due to job-placements (Edina, Duluth, Luverne), I realize very well how the Twin Cities is somewhat divorced from the rest of the state of MN in its navel-gazing self-absorption yuppie white-collar schtick, so that when you knock Wisconsin for too &quot;country&quot;, too small town/rural farm hicks, you&#039;re really knocking the culture and people from most of the state of Minnesota as well, not to mention any other Midwestern state.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the novel that exactly proved my point for me.

There is no &quot;mountain for you to climb&quot;! You are a freaking fan, that is all. You aren&#039;t on the inside, your a fan!! This idiotic we mentality is so funny. Get a life douche, its entertainment. I&#039;m not jealous or bitter at all. I just hate most packer fans and their &quot;we&quot; mentality. I&#039;ve seen quite a few good ones on here so I shouldn&#039;t generalize, but you&#039;ve proven that you are a turd. I don&#039;t expect you to change, I&#039;ve lived in Sconnie land all my life, whether the pack is 4-12 or 12-4, your fanfare is just unbearable,for the most part. Blowhard,bullheaded, nonobjective know nothing.
You better get back to the &quot;party&quot;.  TT&#039;s weener is getting cold.]]></description>

Typical Packer fans.

Why can’t you just be happy and enjoy this win for, I don’t know at least a week before you worry about the next one? Fans of teams outside of the North are now getting dose of what we listen too daily. 
------------------------------------------------------- 
&quot;Why?&quot;, you ask?

Some things you cannot know and understand unless you have first experienced them. Unless and until you&#039;ve experienced your team winning a Super Bowl, you will never be able to understand.  I&#039;m sure the thinking of fans of teams like the Patriots or Steelers after they&#039;ve won a Super Bowl you wouldn&#039;t understand either.  Only fans of teams who&#039;ve won a Super Bowl can really understand this:  Once you reach the pinnacle, and have enjoyed the rush, and know what&#039;s it like, then the next thing on your mind is to climb another mountain, go through the same journey again.

For others like yourself, you&#039;re on the outside looking in. I&#039;m not knocking you for that, it&#039;s just a fact: You haven&#039;t experienced it yet, so you cannot really know.  

You&#039;re on the outside looking in.

Yes, we Packers fans are happy. Very happy. Very grateful too. Yes, we are enjoying the win, something you cannot do, since it isn&#039;t your team of choice.  

You&#039;re on the outside looking in. 

When it comes to understanding fans of other teams who have never won a Super Bowl, well, I too am on the outside looking in when it comes to understanding why they think the way they do, including why a Vikings fan like yourself, who has known nothing but an 0-4 &quot;close-but-no-cigar&quot; history with all that such will do to a fan&#039;s psyche, would bother to read Packer threads and write a long post calling us classless fans. I mean, don&#039;t you have a Vikings thread to do that on?    

You&#039;re on the outside looking in....

&quot;Fans of teams outside the North Division&quot;, as you cite them, are now getting a dose of what we Packer&#039;s fans put up with from envious and bitter Vikings fans posting smack on our threads about the Packers, asking themselves why Vikings fans give themselves a daily dose of Packer threads, when it isn&#039;t even the team they follow. 

You&#039;re on the outside looking in......

Those of us inside at the party are having a great time enjoying the present mountaintop, which is PRECISELY WHY we&#039;re talking about the next fantastic journey up another mountain. It&#039;s such a rush, but you don&#039;t know, how could you know, you&#039;ve never been inside the party to understand.....

You&#039;re on the outside looking in.... 

So all you can do is look through the window and troll and ridicule people at the party inside, the party you&#039;ve not yet earned the right to attend, but in your heart of hearts think such meritocracy shouldn&#039;t apply to you, since you&#039;re a Vikings fan who the world should know are so much classier than their hick neighbors (who are no less and no more Midwestern fly-over country than you are), and so frustrated that no one else sees this like you do. So you lash out....green with envy, bitter as your cold winter, puffing yourself up with a false air of superiority when you have nothing in the trophy case to show for it yet. Like I said....

You&#039;re on the outside looking in.... 

We&#039;ve done nothing to you...the &quot;Purple Karma&quot;, you&#039;re suffering you brought on yourself.  Worse part of it is, given there&#039;s a big chance your state legislature won&#039;t be able to pass a stadium bill given their huge deficit, and you&#039;ll be forced to have a dose of the Packers every weekend of the season on your TV.  But I do not pity you as you pity yourself.  How could I?
 
I&#039;m on the inside and couldn&#039;t give a rat’s behind who is on the outside. Just enjoying this mountaintop and surveying the next mountain to climb.

Now, go read one of your Laura Ingalls Wilder books and let us Packer fans enjoy our party. :)

Go Pack!!!]]></description>

Try reading some of these posts and comprehending mine. I don&#039;t hate the Packer franchise or its players. It&#039;s the &quot;we&quot; fan mentality. Like because your a fan or &quot;owner&quot; that you have something to do with the win. I&#039;ve tried being good about it to Packer fans and you get nothing but trash talk back. You can&#039;t just be gracious,its the rub it in mentality. I mean, we saw it here all year. Sac team you beat, their fans all said how classlessness GB fans were. How many posts were there about Pack fans getting beat up? There&#039;s a reason for it. You are the biggest loudmouths around. You think you deserve a SB every year. It&#039;s sickening. I&#039;m not jealous or envious at all. I try to be a good fan and all you get is crap back. The gist of my post is that its not even a week gone by an d your talking repeat. Savor the one that was just won for petes sake! Of course your poor QB( I one upper Favre)(really needs to grow up) told you you&#039;d repeat right? Get it straight we don&#039;t hate the team or players. They deserved it. The fans? Not so much. Go hibernating and we&#039;ll see you when the season starts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes it is possibleto franchise a player and then trade him.
Cory Williams was franchised by the Packers and then traded to the Cleveland Browns for a 2nd round pick.
Then Cleveland signed him to a longer contract .
Someone like Cullen Jenkins will probably have multiple teams interested in him. This would ensure a team that they could acquire him. Im not saying it will happen but it is a route TT can take. I just cant see TT letting Cullen Jenkins just walk. This is probably just a waste of time though because I think the Packers will keep him anyway.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;There is a reason when GB fans travel to other stadium they get beat up and messed with….they ask for and deserve it. At least you can now share your classlessness with all the NFL fans. You are the most hated fans on the planet for a reason.&quot;
__________________________________

Give me a freakin break.... you&#039;ve lost your mind.  Do Viking and Bears fans think the Packer Fans are the most hated/worst/hillbilly/cheese loving/idiots... Yup.  I&#039;ve heard it all. Why, because most of these fans would give ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING to have the success the Packer franchise has had and the direction they are going.  They would give anything to be able to love and care for a franchise like it&#039;s family.  To have a community own the team and not have to worry about it packing up and moving (MN) at anytime.  To win more championships than any team in NFL history.  To grow up with legend after legend with rich history and tradition.  Yes, I expect nothing less from a Vikings fan to come on here and slam Packer Nation.  You should... it&#039;s all you&#039;ve got right now.  I feel bad for you, but you get what is deserved, and Packer Nation got what it deserved... a World Championship.  And not matter what you say, and how bitter you become, you can&#039;t take that away from anyone of us.  And next year when I&#039;m attending GB away games, living it up with other NFL fans, being respectful, having fun, and just living life, you can keep convincing yourself everyone hates us.  

Man it sucks to be a Packer Fan.... in the eyes of Viking fan.  

Welcome back to reality.  Life is GREAT! And thank God for the GB Packers.]]></description>

Many 49ers fans wanted to ditch Jerry Rice his rookie year due to so many crucial drops.  Not saying Jones is Rice, but give him a chance.

Keep Coleridge and Jenkins IF they are reasonable in pay demand.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Running back spots will be interesting this year.

Grant and Starks are semi-similar runners with one being far less expensive than the other. Throw Nance, Jackson and probably a draft pick in there, plus Kuhn, Hall and Johnson as fullbacks and you&#039;ll have 9 guys competing for 5 (maybe 6) spots at the max.

Cheap route: Starks, Nance, late round pick
FB: Hall and Johnson

&quot;Packer People&quot; route: Starks, Grant, Jackson
FB: Kuhn, Hall, Johnson

Best route in my opinion: Starks, Grant, Nance
FB: Kuhn, Hall

I really like Brandon Jackson, but the upside is more with Nance and he&#039;ll free up money to be spent elsewhere. We have enough LB/FB body types without Johnson needed for ST and the guy is not a good receiver out of the backfield at all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Packers aren&#039;t going to pay market value for Jenkins but at the same time they will be willing to pay him the average of the top 5 DL in the NFL?  Sounds like a contradiction.  Do you mean they won&#039;t resign him to a long term contract due to his age?  Please clarify.
Also, these posts about franchising him &amp; then trading him aren&#039;t realistic.  The &quot;other&quot; team won&#039;t be willing to give much in trade because they have no guarantee that he&#039;ll be with &quot;them&quot; beyond 1 year.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like AJ Hawk as a man, but you must be delusional to not have seen the dozen or so times he attempted to find RBs in the Super Bowl, only to run smack dab into the lead blocker and be washed completely out of the hole.

He is simply too tight in the hips to slip a block, and as I said before, not stout enough to get off said blocks. Trust me, I wish he was Ray Lewis, but I can&#039;t deny what I see.

His best position is at OLB in a 4-3, preferrably a cover-2 scheme, where he can run downhill and find the ball carrier. He has above average speed and good tackling technique, it&#039;s just that 3-4 ILBs need to be much better with their hand usage and looser with their hips (see: Lawrence Timmons and James Farrior).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hawk will sign a contract extension that will lower the $10 million he is owed next year.  Barnett will be cut or maybe traded.  Crosby resigned.  Colledge can leave he isn&#039;t that good and we won&#039;t match what he can get on the open market.  It will be interesting to see what happens with Jones.  Personally, I&#039;m sick of the drops and would like to replace Jones, but I&#039;m curious as to if Thompson wants him back and if so, will he match the market.  The other tough decision is Jenkins.  I would like to keep him with a short 3 yr contract similar to what Clifton got last year but who knows.  And everyone keeps saying how deep D-End is in the draft, maybe this would be the year to replace him.]]></description>
