I remember Donald Driver on the sidelines at Super Bowl XLV when Jordy dropped a pass.

DD gritting his teeth & saying...C'mon Jordy! Then Jordy makes a play getting the reception down inside the 5. DD: That's what I'm talking about Jordy!!

I'll also never forget how many DB's would be like...."I got him!" & Point at Jordy, then Jordy would run right by them. Greg Jennings would say how everybody underestimated Jordy with his deceptive speed & probably because he was white. Always made me laugh....😆😁

I remember when Jordy was drafted. Other "highly rated" WR's, like Donnie Avery & Devin Thomas going before him. TT was brilliant in drafting him. 

Good times. Enjoy retirement Jordy.

It's only natural to want to see our warriors battle forever, and makes us sad when they are no longer able to.
Then we get to bask in the warm glow of nostalgia, recalling our favorite memories of them.

Mine is his mastery of the sideline. I can't recall anyone better. 

Best wishes and enjoy retirement!
If you can teach our young guys how to run routes and create that catch 'halo', we'd always love to see you in Green Bay!

Congrats on your retirement Jordy.  I hope you use your popularity to help forward the plight of the American farmer and all that needs to be done to get farmers an equitable profitability again.   Be it dairy, hogs, beef or grains which I know you are involved with please help out.

Since you are not affiliated with ag you have no idea what is going on.   Farm bankruptcies are at an all time high, greater than even during the Great Depression.  But that is O.K., you can just go to Wal-Mart and buy your food.  And my message to Jordy is so much different than all the others, to Jordy, or Clay or Cobb?  Go **** yourself.

No, just worried about many of my farmer friends and family members who have been having financial problems for a long time.  Oh, and farm suicides are up dramatically. maybe you have investigated some?

It is very sad that it seems like family farms are extremely hard to keep going and the only thing that can be done in some cases is to sell the farm and land to a corporation.  There's a certain character to family farms that corporate farms can't duplicate.  The more family farms that disappear, we lose a little bit of history and character with it.

I grew up on a family dairy farm that had been in the family for 130 years. My father forbid any of us from working on the farm after college - he had a graduate degree in economics and decided to return to the family farm in the early 1970s. He told us it would not be economically feasible as a career after his generation. We still own the land but it is now all rented out for pickles (technically cucumber) growing. 

The government incentives are set up for the Monsantos of the world, not small farms.

A few years back, during an interview, Jordy said that when he retires he wants to go back and work on the family farm. Jordy would definitely care for the plight of farmers. Nice sentiment, Ammo!

TV cameras never did justice to his speed. We saw him run towards us during a game, outrunning everyone else - it was amazing.

It was 5-6 years ago at a game in Buffalo in December. The Pack struggled all game and were losing by 3 I believe in the 4th quarter. With the ball around the 25 yard line 2nd and short, Jordy runs the fly and is 15 yards past everyone.  I am standing up in my Green and Gold screaming as it is going to be a 75 yd td pass - the ball is perfectly thrown - and it goes thru his hands.  I’ll never forget his anguish, on the field, and then on the sideline.  

Having grown up a farm boy, I rolled with laughter at the story of him taking teammates back to his farm and having them impregnate a cow by artificial insemination.  

I miss Jordy, but am thankful for the many football memories and off the field stories of care and compassion.

I was there. 3rd row up behind the Packers bench. Signaling touchdown whilst the ball was still 15 ft from Jordy. I felt like the idot Viking fans signaling "Good" as Blair Walsh's kick was going wide left!

We must have been close together as we were 4-5 rows behind the Packer bench. The Bills fans were silent as they saw the play evolving, and then jubilant as I like you, felt like that idiot Viking fan.
