On 5/19/14 with Homer (4 minutes 6 seconds in) Jason Wilde said he talked to some people in Oregon who said the argument Colt had with the Oregon coaches was he had a gun and the coaches didn't want him to have a gun anymore. Colt said forget you, and then he quit the team . Then he wanted to come back but the two sides agreed it would be best if they went their separate ways.
While the irony of a guy named Colt wanting a gun isn't lost on me. The little I know about him tells me Colt is probably better off not havIng access to firearms.
good thing there aren't a lot of guns in Wisconsin
If I wasn't sold before I sure am now!
Agreed completely. Conspiracy nutball? Useful idiot for false flag operation-selling carpet-baggers? Gun nut to the point he'll walk away from a scholarship to defend his patriotic freedom from the tyranny of The Man? Cocaine fiend?
I hope we find out next that he's a cross-dresser. This guy is a walking documentary.
These days I am a Colt fan first
God given and 2nd amendment rite for Colt to carry his 45
The Great Escape is on Saturday?
Cool!
Dont you mean The dirty dozen?
How he isn't already cashing in on a Golden Coral endorsement is beyond me
Isn't fat enough. Needs a gravy gun.
Isn't fat enough yet
Ruh-Roh....
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
good thing there aren't a lot of guns in Wisconsin
EKB one thing should Colt pull out that 45 in Wisconsin he could easily be outgunned by the arsenals I have seen in almost every pick-up truck parked in the lot at the bar. Would look like Beirut or Anbhar province !!

It's a .357 but that's just splitting hairs
If Doughty gets cut 45 would be available.
Odds on GB giving it to Colt?
Dream from heaven....I need to try these
There ****ing diet too!
Please avert your eyes SDPF. LarseeMethbear, it's not real.
Don't worry, Betty. I know your spew isn't real.
Methylcellulose?

Never mind what I said. This kid sounds solid.
Absolutely kick ass if he turns into another UDFA diamond like Williams and Shields turned out to be. Don Barclay was a gem too.
We went into the draft with TE and Safety as priorities. If we came out with 2 of the best at their positions, ie Dix and Colt, hosannas TT.
...or he turns into Jared Loughner.
50/50.

hey! Oprah has time now to do a documentary now that the Sam melodrama is put on hold. Maybe she will come to Green Bay now?

hey now!
don't know if y'all caught it but on Tuesday mcginn went all bad bob on twitter about the Pack signing Lyerla. phooking ridiculousness at its best - "bottom-feed", "gutter", "wonder about leadership". bob really needs to get over himself, the self-righteous prick.
today a well reasoned article by Vandermause:
http://www.packersnews.com/art...giving-Lyerla-chance
Almost every franchise has been in the gutter before. Win at all costs defines NFL just like it defined Packers Monday. So risky. Just say no.
Rest assured 31 other NFL teams raised eyebrows and wondered about leadership/direction in Green Bay after the signing of TE Lyerla.
Packers had four-year history with DE Johnny Jolly before bringing him back. They had TE Lyerla for four days before signing him.
Thompson, McCarthy, Murphy/board, welcoming fans show they can bottom-feed with the best signing off on TE Lyerla. What price glory?
I don't know what happened at Sandy Hook, but the event is full of anomalies, so he gets a pass from me on that one.
Gun issue could be a man standing up for his principles - even at a huge cost.
Cocaine? That's another story.
31 teams, Gracie?
If twelve teams were reportedly willing to offer a tryout, I think his math is a bit off.
mcginn's always been a pencil-necked geek where 3/4s of his doggerel turns to chit.

It's also no coinky-dink that the "scouts opinions" he drummed up and wrote on were all negative. Remember this is the same Bad Bob who was told by inside sources that re-signing AR would be tricky due to how sensitive AR is and who said the Packers were ready to move on from Finley before they signed him to a 2 year deal.
I said this earlier this week. You would think Ted Thompson traded up into the 2nd round to get this kid and then gave up a 2015 1st round pick. For fu*k sakes, he's an UDFA.
Why are some peoples panties in such a wad?
Stupid commentary by McGinn. If Lyerla flops, cut him with no repercussions. This is a strong lockerroom so doubt he has any effect on the other players. If he gets his head on straight, like players in his situation have before him, he'll be a steal. And what better place for a guy like him to focus on football than Green Bay.
The decision now was an easy one b/c there is no downside. The real decision comes after 3 years, if Colt turns into a great player.
Every turd has a story. I can't say that McGinn is wrong but he is going overboard for hits.
You can spin this a hundred different ways, just depends on what you want to hear.
Maybe TT and MM believe in the strength of their organization, particularly after dealing with Jolly, feeling they can shape the young idiot. Maybe they believe they are in BB territory, where reclamation projects are feasible and willing to take the risks.
Maybe they are going to the proverbial gutter for talent. I'm sure they are all considerations but the reality is if this kid doesn't perform, where does the altruistic intent go? Are they wrong in doing so?
I think Bob went pretty hard to the hyperbole well, especially with the 31 teams comment. If TT and MM get this kid on track then you can packer people all over this story and it will definitely elevate TT's status as well. If it fails, it may be the touching a hot stove analogy.
Let's not kid ourselves about what the drive is for any team, it's about talent and winning first, altruism second.
With that said, I think it's fair to compare organizations and how they approach the turd conundrum. Some try to collect talent at any costs, others make smart, informed decisions with good intent for said turd and the team. I think it's fair to say after Jolly's follies, the statements from Rodgers and TT's approach to Jolly we as fans can confidently say we root for a organization that prescribes to the latter.
Personally, I think the kid is a twat but the NFL is about money first. Welcome to America.
I don't know what happened at Sandy Hook, but the event is full of anomalies, so he gets a pass from me on that one.

Cocaine? That's another story.
We'll all look for the conspiracy when someone pumps you full of anomalies.
Falling for conspiracy crap that gets spread around the internet is not a great testament to his intelligence, but it's hardly unforgivable.
The same can be said for doing cocaine.
Quiting his team over a gun is odd, but I can understand him feeling like that was overly intrusive into his private life. Someone prone to fall for conspiracy theories is likely to be more sensitive to that sort of thing anyway.
There's no question the pattern is a concern, but he is still very young and it's premature to ostracize him for his mistakes. Our politically correct society too often tries to black-list complete strangers for relatively minor transgressions.
The Packers aren't ignoring Colt's past, they're just giving him a chance to demonstrate he has moved beyond it. And he'll face an uphill battle in proving that he's worth a roster spot - TT won't want to use up a valuable roster spot on a player that is just going to run himself out of the league in a few months (and there's still question of whether his talent will translate to the next level).
I'm rooting for the guy, as I would anyone in his situation. Hopefully he understands that he used up all him mulligans before he even arrived in the NFL, and has learned enough from his past to appreciate this opportunity.
Anybody know if the moon landing was faked?
