The anthem lasts a minute or two and you see what a few images of players kneeling? O jeez guess I can't watch football anymore because I saw a 3 second clip of someone respectfully kneeling on the sideline. Silly thing about it is if people didn't make it such a big deal it probably would have gone away by now. Never mind that I can see about 50 fans in the background drinking, on their phone, talking, ect... But the guy respectfully kneeling is a huge problem. As a veteran myself I don't take offense to something as stupid as this. Instead of boycotting football or faux outrage over this maybe they should start donating to veteran charities like Fisher House or Wounded Warrior Project. I AM SPARTACUS!

I was discussing football the other day on FB with a fellow fan, and he tagged Joe in a comment asking if he had heard anything about the topic we were discussing. All I could do was laugh.

(hope some of you are old enough to get this reference) Ten-year-old people are old enough to get this reference. It's reused all the time, probably in the source of Spartacus' avatar, too, which was a Starz TV series about Spartacus, called Spartacus. Whether or not people have actually seen Kirk Douglas in one of his finest roles is another question. I say finest because his finest performance was in Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Maybe Paths of Glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual true story of the man is extremely fascinating to me. Wrote a final paper on him for college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Packers meeting and/or talking with House this week apparently. At this point, I would not be opposed to putting him on the roster and letting him compete for a spot because I'd like the veteran depth, but it wouldn't stop me from trying to add DRC, or preferably Breeland.

I'm totally fine with Tramon, King, House and one more free agent. DRC would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think there was chatter that Packers were in the hunt or at least interested in him prior to him signing with Carolina. If the medical checks out later this month or in May, etc. I would presume we'd still be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deferred because of his foot injury. I wasnt sure myself but Mr. @SSG told the tale a few days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing we have going for us is: We haven't seen Davon House without Dom Capers. If he can stay healthy (monumental IF), I would like to see him in a new defense. I am excited to see what the defense will do this year. Adding House prevents the team from going panic DB in the first round. I think King and House on the outside and Tramon on the inside, in typical 3 WR sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, House could be better without Capers, but IMO losing Randall and adding Williams/House is not enough of an upgrade, regardless of where we draft a CB. Need one additional FA move. I see House as a No. 3-4 CB at best. Best case, House struggles to even make the final 53 because some of the unknown young players make significant jumps. Worst case, you have House as insurance if the young guys still look like UDFAs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
