Don't feel bad. I'm a Monday. Crappiest day of the week.
Kwadjo is that you?
Chillidjo.
Dromedary for me too.
The day you are laid is definitely the day you start living
Unless you're Chinese.
"The day you are raid is definitely the day you start riving" is pretty much the same thing.
I see someone else besides me has seen the Roy Ruck Rub.
I would like to be called Henry "Hump Day" Jones.

For the first time it's as clear as a bell.
If that was his defense, he should have come up with something to stop the Seahawks in the last five minutes of the game. 
Great, now you tell him.
I shouldn't have to tell him what his f***ing job is.
How can anyone complain about one of our players being a vocal leader? Hawk and Jones seemed like two very passive, non-vocal players and I don't think ILB is a position where that flies. Think about the great ILBs in the league or league history, they're all very vocal, emotional players. I'm tired of seeing passive players back there at ILB, I love Barrington's attitude. I love Mike Daniels attitude as well, we need guys who play with passion.
You can be a leader without being vocal.
You can, but being vocal (in the right way and time) can add just that little spark that kicks other guys in the can and/or inspires and makes them play a little harder at crunch time. I don't mind a guy being vocal as long as he's not just blowin' smoke or can't back it up. I'll wait to see if Barrington can back up his talk.
Didnt say much. Just played.
People complained about Daniels running his mouth. He backed it up and now he is loved.
You don't have to be vocal to be great, plenty of guys weren't. Ray Nitschke wasn't running around screaming. Some guys don't need to, but some guys wear their emotions on their sleeve and that's not a bad thing. Barrington needs to back it up, but he's taking ownership of his D and projecting confidence, something I never got the sense Hawk and Jones had much of...just kind of along for the ride.
****ing offseason.
I prefer off-season ****ing. In-season too.
there is no off season....football or ***king

I hope Barrington turns into Desmond Bishop II.
I remember Desmond saying junk like this before he took off too.
There's a season?
How long you been married?
I think I'm turning Ecclesiastic.
Bam Bam Barrington is penciled in as one starter at ILB in 2015
The candidates for the other starter/depth are:
Carl Bradford ( Henry "Hump Day" Jones' 2nd favorite young player)
Joe Thomas
Josh Francis
draft picks
undraf-Teds ( fixed it)
The occasional Matthews @ ILB doesn't change the need for more bodies inside
I'd guess an early pick ( 2-3) and a late pick ( 6-7) and (2) developmental UDFAs
it is correctly spelled, undraf-teds, for ampha-sis.

Ray didn't have to scream. He just growled. Like during the Ice Bowl when the Defense made the last stop Ray growled at the offense as they ran onto the field, "Now don't let me down!!" I think they listened.
âEverybody wants to seem to crown me for no reason,â Barrington said.
Not me. I think Barrington needs to really work to win a starter spot. The competition is fierce this year. Bradford and Perry look greatly improved, Ryan looks the part. Dantzler brings some unique qualities to the ILB battle. Then there is Thomas, who also looks good, just smaller.
I dont even even think his roster spot is a lock. Look at highlights from many other star opponents from last year, and you will see a Barrington whiff.
ammo, Ray was one of my all-time favorite Packers.
Barrington was coming on late in the season and it's one of the reason the D started to rise. He has plenty to improve on but I think his arrow is pointing up. I think there was a recent article out there that had Dom recognizing his development. I think his spot on the roster is 90%, chance of starting 75%. As inexperienced as Barrington is, everyone else is even less experienced and Dom can't have that at ILB. If CM was forced to spend much of his time at ILB, I could see it but I really don't think that is a preference for anybody.
Nitschke made it clear that he expected full effort every play by himself AND his teammates. We don't know what he did or didn't say in the huddle or the locker room, but his "don't let me down!" yell from the sidelines is legendary!
Personally, I didn't see great development from him. His best games were in big losses to NO, BUF and SEA in the playoffs. Had one PD v. NE. Had one more against SEA in playoffs. 1 Sack v. CHI.
Figure, inability to cover a TE was a downfall of both Hawk and Jones.
I think he is just a guy, with everybody around him competing for the starting ILB spot bigger and improved. He "won" the starting job there because no one else had more than 2 years in Dom's system. I doubt highly that Barrington starts there game one.
