Originally posted by Velo View PostMy father was a flaming alcoholic. I grew up in the 1960s. My dad a rough time of it in WWII; I posted about him recently. When I was a small boy, probably 1963-64, my father was convalescing at home after a pretty bad car accident. He had been in the hospital for some time. I remember he was in bed for days, maybe weeks, with bandages on his body. My mother told me he had been driving drunk, and he was facing manslaughter charges because the other driver was killed. But, the other driver was dead drunk also, and he was the one who crossed over the center divide and crashed into my father head-on. So he never was charged with manslaughter, even though he was driving drunk. My father knew the DA, they were pals at the Lions Club. That may or may not have had something to do with his not being charged. My memory says he got into three DUI accidents when I was a boy, all of this would have happened in the early 1960s. I don't know if I remember that correctly. I do know that he had a number of DUI's on his driving record. DUI was not treated as harshly back then. It wasn't until MADD started in the 1980s that DUI became a serious crime.
Debra Oberlin then went on to form the group DAMM (Drunks Against Mad Mothers). J/K about DAMM.

What is odd is that the former president of MADD, Debra Oberlin was arrested for a DUI. She was not the founder of course (Candice Lightner was the founder) but she was the president at that time. Weird how some people become what they detest.

Can OBJ really released? As the third wr, he would be a nice get. I don’t see it happening. But from what I’ve seen, if you claim him on waivers, you take his 8 million for this year. If he clears waivers, guess it’s his choice. The last two years of his contract isn’t guaranteed.
I’m just saying, if we have that cap space just sitting there, why not. I know, we need lineman more, but are there any available?

And if the Chargers are spending money on a WR - I think I would take DeSean Jackson at 25% of the cost

Don't know if it's been discussed, but does anybody else feel that Rodgers does not give a shit if he misses due to Covid? I have always gotten the vibe that Rodgers does not give a shit about anything or anyone other than Rodgers.
Am I wrong in my summation???
