It's like a Disney movie come to life. Like when Banks had to play for District 5 in the Mighty Ducks. Rodgers goes to Cleveland and ends up winning a Superbowl next season.

They didn't put him on IR a 2nd time with the same injury. I don't believe they assigned a specific injury to him. McCarthy said he was really sore after the game from taking some big hits. They will retroactively say shoulder soreness or something. I understand how a team could stash players on IR but in this specific part of the rules its kind of pointless. Only a good player would be put on IR designated to return. The Packers used their spots on Rodgers and their backup RT who was to be the starting RT this year. Those guys aren't getting stashed. Ideally you would stash most of your draft picks but being on IR keeps you out of practice so it ends up being pointless and teams don't really do it.

I hope the NFL forces Ted Thompson to resign for all of this.

Has Dan had Lester Munson on yet to make everything crystal clear?

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

It's also bad on the NFL. They allowed the transaction to go through. They could have said "No". Which just would have meant he would have been on the roster and the Packers just make him inactive on game day.

So the NFL didn't know the rule as well.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

It's a stupid ass rule, what purpose does it even serve?

[Fields will] be the starting QB on an NFL roster at the start of next season. Book It!

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

The catch rules are stupid too, but they're enforced.

If the NFL is going to throw up its hands and say, "oh its Aaron Rodgers! We can't enforce that rule with Him!" Than why didn't they do the same for Calvin Johnson & Dez Bryant?

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

What was even the point of putting Rodgers back on IR for the final week of the season? Just make him the 3rd string Quarterback, and say you want to get a look at some other guys on the roster.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

I don’t want it to happen obviously, as a GB fan, but if the NFL did go through with it and made Rodgers a FA it would be one of the most hilarious things to ever happen in sports history.

Ultimately this will cost them a third round draft pick or something similarly stupid.

No it won’t. As noted previously the league approved the IR tag. Also from an article discussing this...”an important note in the ESPN story is that a source stated that Rodgers would not have been cleared to play against the Vikings even if the team were still in the playoff hunt. Therefore, the Packers will surely use the aforementioned precedent to defend their decision.”

But one source said Rodgers wasn't going to be medically cleared to play in Green Bay's next game, and the Packers knew he wasn't 100 percent.

Still, not gaining medical clearance and being placed on injured reserve are two different things -- which is what drew the ire of multiple teams around the league.

The Packers fed that bullshit to Shefter in an attempt to cover their ass.

It still doesn't matter. Because they officially put him on IR for the old injury.

You almost had it.

It still doesn’t matter. Because Rodgers isn’t going anywhere and any “punishment” from this will be insignificant.

He Bears should’ve tried this in year 3 of Jay and hope the league enforced it

They didn't have this current IR thing back then. And the Bears weren't gonna give up on him that early anyway. Plus they didn't have to pull this type of stunt. They could have just cut him. It's the same thing as being forced to do it by breaking this current rule.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

It's to stop people using the IR as extra roster spots.

Danny mentioned he’s a member of the Screen Actors Guild and gets screener copies of movies for his Oscar voting.

Somehow all these dipshits on the radio have sag cards, even the lowly producers i believe.
