I wouldn't read much into what he says. Sounds like a dude out of a job who is trying to get his name out there.
"We want Darlene!! We want Darlene!!!" NOT
Anyone follow Eugene Robinson on twitter?

Agreed. It sucks that Nick got hurt, and that we're having all these injuries again. But this is a game. I hope that Nick will be ok. If he can come back someday, great. If not, he's always going to be a part of the Packer family, and his life and health are more important than football.
Signing Sharper would go so far against Thompson's MO one would think Favre was running things.

"To answer a tweeters question.The toughest thing about watching this weekends games is watching guys play that aren't half as good as u are."
Oh brother, it seems that Darlene hasn't learned any humility as he's aged.

I'm guessing it was a bowel movement.
Man I love football, but I hate injuries like this. Heal well 36.
as for the donkeys, nobody should be that desperate. that's just poor scouting in a very obvious way.
No one was as good as Darlene at convincing himself what a legend he is.
Olay.
Olay.
Already looking forward to the Denver game in two weeks.
It is just a tryout in DEN.
Move Woodson to safety? Convert Cobb as a dime db?
Tsk, tsk, you guys. All this talk about Sharper...surely you haven't already forgotten Atari "The Gamer" Bigby! 
Yeah, that's it! He should be available, would come cheap, has the experience, knows the system...it's a no-brainer, right?

Was hoping Green Bay would sign Sharper so that he could end his career getting cut by the Packers.

He's with Seattle yes? Or did he sprain something and is on IR?
I think Atari would blow a knee taking a nap.
Saw Bigby on the field yesterday against Stillers.
Sucks for Collins. No disrespect to him, but I don't view him as a critical loss to the defense. I think we can insert Peprah and keep the train rolling down the track.
Losing the likes of Tramon, CMIII, C-Wood, Raji and even Pickett for the season would be much worse IMO.
EDIT: Speaking of Pickett... any news on him????

I hope he's back in time for the playoffs. 
Seriously... foot bruise? sprain??

Opinions vary
He is considered by a few scouts to be one of the very best safeties in the League, if that helps your assessment. And here is a snippet from Bob McGinn on his annual ranking of the Packers to start the 2011 campaign:
"Ranks with Washington's LaRon Landry as the top two safeties in the NFC."
Nick certainly had some struggles early in his career but he really took off under the coaching of Darren Perry and Capers. Remember when fans were worried if he could pick up the nuances of the new 3-4 defense ?
I think Nick will be sorely missed; either way its next man up in Green Bay.
Onward
He'll definitely be missed. Great range and ball skills. Burnett compares favorably to Nick as far as athleticism goes, but obviously as a 2nd year guy(who missed his first year due to injury) he doesn't bring the pedigree or production that Nick does.
In any case, depending on what the injury is, if Nick is able to move around and be around his team mates, you know damn well he'll be. He was one of the defensive leaders and I'm confident that he'll try his best to coach up Burnett and co. from the sidelines throughout the rest of the year.

Tiger Greene? Hell, LeRoy Butler could still get it done.
I save my swearing for serious stuff, this definitely qualifies. F#@%!!!
I broke my ankle 5 weeks ago and I'm in a cast and on crutches so I have empathy for the walking wounded.

might as well put Raji at S versus Bigby. He's faster.

When did we trade for Atari Bigby?
Last I checked Charlie Peprah and MD Jennings were our back up safeties.

+1.
Get better soon, Nick.
Pickett is a foot bruise. McCarthy said, we'll see how he does Wednesday. Same with Tramon.

We didn't. He was a free agent.
From Wikipedia:
"Atari was originally signed to the Packers practice squad on Nov 1, 2005. Was then promoted to the active roster on December 22, 2005 and made his NFL debut on December 25 against the Chicago Bears. He was inactive for the final contest against the Seattle Seahawks.
Bigby was waived by the Packers at the end of the 2006 preseason, but was signed two days later to their practice squad."
**** now Slocum has an excuse if Hester takes one to the house.

Levine elevated from PS.
At Packer.com I did not see Levine on the PS or the active roster. That would indicate he isn't a Packer. That being the case, is he claimed by anyone?
After exiting Sunday's game in the second half with a foot sprain, Ryan Pickett is hopeful he'll play in Chicago this week.
"As far as I know, yes," Pickett said. "I'm just a little sore. It's all right."
As of Monday afternoon, Pickett hadn't met with doctors. There wasn't one specific play where he injured his foot.
"My foot just started hurting," he said. "I didn't know what it was. I don't think it's anything serious. I played pretty much the whole game with it."
