Did Jayme Joyers get married?
Boy, that is a zero of a contract. Bishop might not even make the roster.

Yeah, it took me a while to figure out she got married and didn't change her username as a sign of solidarity or something with Edward Snowden.

Married. Although I'm sure changing my name to Snowden at this time wasn't the best way to stay under the legal radar.

Ha! Yeah, you're almost definitely on some lists now.

Would Bishop have taken this deal to stay with the Pack? I don't think so. He's getting next to nothing if he doesn't pan out. The deal reflects what an extremely high injury risk he has become. Sad to say, the odds are really against him.

Story time: the week of the Packers vs viqueens game I received my autographed bishop picture. It was cheap because he just got bumped up from special teams. That game he picked off Favre and in doing so helped packer nation get some pride back. You will be missed bish, but f you as long as your a queen. Enjoy grown men dressing in blonde wigs and purple clothes cheering you on! :)
