We should be thankful that the Packer trolls have refrained from leaving comments and are satisfied with just thumbs downing expressions of condolences.

I don’t pray cause it’s pointless. But I feel for the guy.

I can’t believe that some people actually give “Thumbs Down” votes to comments that convey thoughts and prayers after the loss of a loved one. We’ve got some sick people on this board.

Pretty sure they’re all our wonderful Viking’s thread Packer fan stalkers doing that. They’re just not man enough to own up to their actions on something like this.

I have stated this before about other players’ tragic life events and when people post their toughts about the family, etc. I do not understand how anyone puts a thumbs down on these types of comments. People expressing their condolences is a proper thing in our society. What kind of idiot would put thumbs down on that? About four or five of you out there at this writing are completely insane. Being a fan does have boundaries.

My heart goes out to Everson and his family. I just lost my Dad two weeks ago and it’s rough. I still have an empty feeling inside and I think I can just call my Dad up or ask him to lunch, then reality sinks in. It sucks!

My condolences go out to him and his family.

I love Frazier’s out look on this, much better than the Chilly method of fining for those who are grieving.

Really sad to hear. Its been looking like Ev has been putting it together after a lot of offseason talk about dedicating himself to the team. Its been exciting watching such an incredible athlete develop as he is (I hope). On a lighter note, it seems like Les Frazier is as good a coach as any to have at a time like this, just a great guy. Hope Ev is back soon, he’ll be in a lot of our purple tinted thoughts.

Talk about a crazy week of emotions. He gets engaged and then his mom dies. Just terrible.

Thought and prayers Everson.

Condolences to Everson and the Griffen family. As amazing as he’s been so far this year, the guy should take his time coming back. The rest of the team’s got your back man.

Do what you have to do, and don’t let anyone tell you either “you have to play” or “you have to stay away”. Grieving is a personalized process that everyone has to handle in their own way.
