Wes, I understand your analogy between Kevin King and Nick Perry, but it just isn't the same. Perry was a high-performing player when in the lineup, but always injured. Conversely, King plays nearly all the time but isn't a high-performing player, just by the numbers. Also, he lost a few key games for us. Perry never did. Sorry, nice try!
I don't want to get into a spitting contest over the definitions of "high-performing player" and "playing nearly all the time" but Perry had 12 ½ career sacks in 46 career games when the Packers re-signed him to a one-year deal in 2016.

Trying to find some "comfort" with the Kevin King re-signing, can you think of a player who had a rough 3-4 years as King did who it seemed all the fans wanted gone, but was then given a second chance and really lit things up and changed the fans minds? I wanted King gone but obviously hope he himself lights things up with this second chance.

Wes, Scott from Grovetown, GA, has missed the excellent choice of watching all the NFL games on Game Pass for slightly over $100 a year. It allows you to watch every game played that week and even go back and watch previous games. Thanks for the last two weeks, it has been an honor.
There you have it. I enjoy the functionality of Game Pass, too, when re-watching Packers games.

Good morning Insiders! Julian from Gastonia brought up fan resentment for King, but l'm a believer. Remember when Mason Crosby had such a struggle? McCarthy stuck with him and we've been all smiles ever since. I forget the movie, but the young exec blows a multi-million-dollar deal. He goes to his boss, expecting to get canned. But the boss says "I can't afford to fire you. I've got too much invested in your education." I think King learns and flourishes in the coming years.
Oh, yes. "Baby's Day Out." Good flick.

Dang Wes, now you're going to fight someone (anyone) over a movie preference. The Marine in me is starting to like your attitude. IRAH.
I make no promises I'd actually win, or even land a punch for that matter, but I'm scrappy.

I feel this one is coming, so I'll start. Top 5 sports movies: "Bull Durham" is amazing but "Hoosiers," "Rocky," "Caddyshack," "Tin Cup," "The Natural," "Bad News Bears," "The Sandlot," "For Love of the Game," "Eight Men Out," "Kingpin," "Slapshot," All need to be considered. You know what? You are right....it's "Bull Durham" (but "Slapshot") is a close darn second.
Of those choices, I think it's "Bull Durham," "Kingpin," "Caddyshack," "The Natural," and "Tin Cup."

I think you're on to another T-Shirt. Something like "No JohnBloggingInHisMomsBasement.com for me. I'm a loyal II reader!"
That reads like the back of one of those promotional T-shirts you'd get when a radio station would hand out swag at a local farmers market or holiday parade.

"My eardrums have ruptured. The antenna is broken. You've lost me and I ask not to be found." I thought I was going to get written up by my building principal laughing out loud! This can be used for almost anything in life! That's a classic and needs to go on a T-shirt! Or maybe another bumper sticker?
Please use as you see fit. Have a great Friday.
