The Six Pack
By Alex on Sep 10, 2009 with 9 Comments
Damn, I have a butt load of homework today. But, that doesn’t mean there isn’t time to suck down a Six Pack. Six Packer related stories that are catching my eye.
The Six Pack
1. He says he doesn’t hate Quinn Johnson but the truth is Carriveau does. Just when you thought it was over, the man at the Rail has continued right where he left off after the draft.
“But boy, I sure would like that fifth round draft choice back. Were the Packers in such bad shape at the fullback position when they went ahead and drafted Johnson?”
Brian, you keep saying you don’t hate Quinn, but at the same time you wish we had taken someone else. That doesn’t make sense to me. I understand you were a big Tyrell Sutton fan, but I don’t think that makes drafting Quinn a mistake. Who knows, perhaps Quinn made Sutton look good. Stop hating on the mighty Quinn.
2. I got an interesting Favre tidbit in the mailbox this week. It seems wearing a Favre jersey to a Brewers game is not advised. Now, I don’t condone this type of fan behavior, but keep it up. Secondly, if you are the guy who was supposed to email me a picture, I didn’t get it. Please try again.
3. I know it’s a little early for the Titletown awards, but I officially cast my vote for my favorite blog Packer Ranter. Again, if you aren’t reading Packer Ranter you are missing out. A gem like this, is extremely hard to find.
4. In case you missed it, Bears fans are staying super classy as always.
5. Packer Update seems to have an inside ear to the coaching staff again. According to their made up and unverified sources:
“The coaches are confident that Jarius Wynn has what it takes to start at DE next season. That’s how impressive the rookie was this summer.”
I guess one has to consider that some pretty good news, if it’s actually true.
6. Finally, it’s not looking good for rookie B.J. Raji to be playing in the opener. Raji, who is suffering from an ankle injury didn’t test out very well yesterday. According to Mike McCarthy:
“It did not go as well as we would have hoped.”
There is a silver lining in that Johnny Jolly has been playing lights out, but if this trend continues, it could seriously come back to bite the Packers in the rear end.

1. At least Brian doesn’t kill cats. (cough Aaron, cough)
2. Hilarious. Sounds like quite the pair. “The guy in the Cutler jersey seemed completely lost and left moments later.”
Speaking of jerseys, who’s jersey will you be wearing next week at Lambeau Alex?
3. I’ll check it out.
4. Doesn’t surprise me. Remember some of the signs they made when they played New Orleans after the Katrina disaster? I won’t post them here, as they are very classless. Google it if you want.
5. Just Wynn baby!
6. This worries me. The rest of the D line better step up!
Awww, shucks, thanks for the kind words.
Here’s hoping “The Bertrams” are swooping all over Lambeau Sunday Night.
Cheers!
I like Quinn. I realize I can’t go in a time machine and make the Packers draft someone else. Now that we have taken him, I hope and think he will do well. However, I think the Packers were fine with Kuhn and Hall to begin with. Thanks for the link.
Here is another link, Brian.

6. Well Raji practiced some today. Hopefully the ankle feels good tomorrow.
1. You’re overlooking Carriveau’s points about Rouse, Anthony Smith and Martin. That may prove to be a bad decision.
As for Quinn, he’s definitely not better than Kunn or Hall yet. He also isn’t as knowledgeable on our play book. He MAY develope into something much more, but at the moment he’s just taking up a roster spot.
4. As for these meat heads at Atlas Gym, I expect to be hearing about them on 670 Chicago’s tool of the week award. From a business standpoint, why would you advertize something that has the capacity to offend pretty much all of your clients. I’m sure some bears fans thought it was funny, but the vast majority of people are wondering how well this idiot operates his business. I tried emailing the guy but it didn’t go through. Maybe they closed their gmail account due to overhelming criticism. If this makes national news it would be poetic justice.
6. I won’t be suprised if Raji manages to play some snaps. Ankle injuries definitely affect your explosiveness and mobility, but it’s a sprain. These a much more manageable than other injuries. Then again, I would definitely be in favor of playing it safe and not playing him.
Awwwww, isn’t it nice to see Bears fans are still so very insecure about their team.
God I can’t wait till Sunday……..
1. Alex, you stole my nickname for Quinn. It’s an obvious one, but I’m a big Dylan fan, so I’m bummed that I didn’t mention it first. Sing along now: “Come all without, come all within/You’ll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn.”
2. The only way that story could have been more heartwarming is if #4 had been pelted with garbage.
3. I hit the link where it says “this” and my computer informed me that access to the site was forbidden. What could a falcon be doing that would cause my computer to say it’s forbidden? I mean, I’ve never had that happen before, and I look at all manner of por–oh, never mind.
4. Dumb Bears fans. Not exactly a “man bites dog” story.
5. I wouldn’t be surprised if the coaches are that impressed with Wynn. He impressed me a lot in the preseason.
6. The run defense could get a little soft without Raji in there as a backup. That’s not good. But it’s still relatively minor compared to the injuries in the Bears’ secondary.
#4. It’s so sad when someone is so ashamed of his latent homosexuality that it rears its head as homophobia. There really is only one ”logical” reason to be homophobic and that is because you are afraid that if you aren’t hostile to them others might question your sexuality exactly the way you yourself have been doing internally. I mean seriously it’s pretty obvious this guy is infatuated by the male body. So much so that he has decided to make his profession and life revolve around it.
My advice for him is this.
It’s ok to come out of the closet. The people who truly care about you still will and those who don’t never really did. It’s very unhealthy for you to continue to lie to and hate yourself.
