Rommels Regret

[Golden Bear]

BTW, I hope that none of youse is (yeah, that's how you say it in my homeland) a Cowboys fan today. Absolutely dreadful what is happening there today. Shudder. (but not much, cuz I'm an Yggles fan).

I know that SG is a Jaints fan so he'll be relatively safe from razor blades. Con lives in Indy and they lost but he is really a Chicago fan (I think?) so he's safe. Rommel, of course, roots for Frankfurt of the AFNFL so he should be cool too.

OK, Shogun, I have stalled for you. Play the damned save!

Resent to con. Sorry, I forgot he likes to delete the first send and pretend he never got it...

I root for Favre and whoever isn't on the DL gameday...

[Golden Bear]

Eeek. I'll pray for you and all Favre fans. Aoooom.

Wonderful player... ca. 1990. Still a great arm but a $0.10 brain these days. I remember a great game where Favre and the Pboys went up on the Yggles 28-0 and the Birds came back, only to miss an extra point. Ah well. Then the Packer broke Cunningham's knee in the first game of the season when they Greens had one of the best defenses ever. Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Andre Waters, etc. Sigh.

Life can be seen as a collection of might-have-beens.

If you REALLY just resent me a save I did not recieve it.

I am a Packers fan which this year for the first year in a LONG time is worse than being a bears fan.

I am routing for Indy and have been the pasts couple of years, Im actually glad they losdt a game, now Dungee can settle down and finish the season and play some of his backups to give the starters some rest and get rerady for the playoffs.

The last email I had from rommel was late friday afternoon and turn 3800. I just checked.

[Rommel2D]

$.10 brain? 1st string probowl WR out whole season. 1st string probowl RB out from early in season. 1st string TE out most games. 2nd string RB out most of season. 2nd string WR out half the games. What can he do but try to force it?

He hasn't looked as sharp in the 2min drill, but other than that not much different than usual...

[Rommel2D]

...and you sent me the wrong save. Its the save file for your turn - and since you don't have a password - I saw your capital and exited the game immediately. There was no way to escape out of the screen. Sorry -- just being absolutely honest and disclosing what happened.

$0.05 brain? Sigh, a Favre apologist. Good guy, good career, good player. But the string is played out.

But, good luck if he keeps playing!!

On another subject, did con have porn in his capitol? Just wondering...

i was greated by that hot blonde in his avatar.

next time I'll have to bring my avatar

[Rommel2D]

I loaded the last save to check- yep no password. (I especially like the one of her in the babushka.)

I don't feel any need to make excuses for Favre. His successes have come from his playing with his heart, his failures from when his brain gets in the way. The biggest difference right now is an incredible string of misfoutune (add '5th string RB shows brief flare of brilliance before going out for season' to above list).

Farve's 'decline' is the global warming of the NFL- there's obviously something going on, but no one can say for sure what. Those directly involved are the only ones in a position to voice an informed opinion, but I doubt any of them understand that entire situation more than 'top scientists' do the fate of our orb. The only thing I'd venture to point out is that, if there's any parallel to be drawn with his playing style, Favre giving up when the chips were stacked against him would have lowered the tally in his career W column quite a bit...

I should say my interests in football and the Packers are outside what I perceive as the norm. I watch games with the sound off, don't read sports columns (especially local press), avoid espn type shows- about the most social I've been recently was to play the office pool (picking each week's games) the last couple of years to take some money off the suckers that listen to announcers, read sports columnists, toss around the latest NFL gossip, etc. The game is the thing, the media destroys it. So I hope you don't mind if I drop the subject before something is said to make someone all hostile-like.

However, if anyone wants to talk baseball or golf, there's a couple of sports I like that lend themselves well to analysis and rumors...

Favre ia getting to be ancient by NFL standards. Him slowing down a bit doesn;t surprise me. But the injuries this year have killed GB.

Lets hope for some lick on sunday, losing twic in one year to the bears and especially losing at Lambeau makes me feel ill and ruins the whole season for me :barf:

Thank you for recognition of my suffering. LOL.

The Packers are only a shadow of what they once were... but that is football now. The trick is to turn the corner and rebuild. Teams that try to rebuild while not fading seem to suffer... one year they are awful and then the next get the weak, last place, schedule and then have a decent year. The better schedule kills them and they drop back. Repeat on and on. It seems actually better to hit rock bottom and get 2-3 years of dynamite draft choices and thus build a team of high draft choices. I suspect the Niners will be a power in about 2 years. Just a hunch.

I apologize if you, Rommel, thought that this was getting hostile. I will admit that I have never thought much of Favre's game but I totally, absolutely, respect what he has done and I have marvelled at his wonderful abilities for spectacular plays.

Honestly, his throws look as if they lack the incredible power that he used to summon. Boller threw such a hard ball in comparison to the formerly wonderful Favre that I really felt that the man would be better off getting out and letting his career speak for him. And he had some just outstanding games in that sequence... no doubt. No doubt.

But I wish him well in whatever he does. If he wants to come back, I hope that Walker can play again with panache and that he can find a young RB that can catch out of the backfield... and that he stops hurling the ball into impossible situations! At least he has not had all the concussions that knocked out Aikman and Young.
