Don't Tell Me How To Talk In My Own Joint
Here's my counter offer to your counter offer.
By PackerAaron
Forgive me - but I need to get this off my chest.
Lately, both in the comment section and on Twitter, I've had people telling me what I should and shouldn't be saying/writing/Tweeting.
This is for you:

You shouldn't have such profanity on your website. You should just be quiet.
June 06, 2010 at 07:18 pm
easy jokes aside(i made mine on twitter), props for the Deadwood clip. Al sweageregengegeneen was the man.
Ya loopy cunt!
June 06, 2010 at 07:18 pm
Wow, you have really taken the Fitz thing personally. Aaron, don't worry about it, you're still a hater.
June 06, 2010 at 08:06 pm
Who is this "Fitz" you speak of?
June 06, 2010 at 08:12 pm
Amen to the last part.
June 06, 2010 at 08:30 pm
He's not talking about me!
I've never once told him what to say/write/Tweet.
Not once.
I just occasionally call bullshit on some of the things he says/writes (I don't tweet).
HUGE DIFF.
June 06, 2010 at 07:18 pm
Heh. Love it!

Deadwood was a wicked show.

Awesome.
You know you're doing something write when all the trolls take notice. As Joe Dirt would say, "You gotta keep on, keepin' on."
June 06, 2010 at 08:01 pm
You cannot go wrong with Al Swearingen.
June 06, 2010 at 08:11 pm
Good for you. You tell 'those' Son-bitches, what's what! LOL
June 06, 2010 at 08:11 pm
PERIOD
June 06, 2010 at 08:12 pm
Hey, Alex Tallisch! WTF are you doing here and what have you done to Aaron Nagler????
June 06, 2010 at 10:39 pm
Haha, yeah didn't Packer Lounge have something like this up just a couple of months ago? With less Deadwood, I believe. I think the lesson here is that people are always going to tell you how they think you could be doing your job better, the only way to stop them doing that is to turn off the comments, change your email and set fire to Twitter headquarters.
June 06, 2010 at 08:30 pm
If you can't take the heat, then take your loud mouth a** & get the f*** out the kitchen, ya whining turd. PERIOD.
PackerAaron
June 06, 2010 at 09:19 pm
That doesn't even make any sense. I should get out of my own kitchen? That's the whole point. YOU can leave. This is my house.
June 06, 2010 at 09:33 pm
"I should get out of my own kitchen?"
LOL
June 06, 2010 at 10:41 pm
At least he censored himself. Lol.
June 06, 2010 at 08:43 pm
It's getting harder and harder to avoid that kind of filthy verbiage on every media system, but this one is easy....as soon as I enter this reply, I will delete Cheesehead TV from my favorites list. Enough is too much!

Sorry to see you go. Cheers.

What the fuck's the big deal?

AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA. I like where this is going! Singletary quote "I like this kinda party".

Sometimes you just have to say it like it is.

OMG retiredgrampa u r leaving?!
Kudos to me Naglercito for being himself.
June 06, 2010 at 09:46 pm
Why do you hate Ronaldo, Aaron????
The guy overcame 2 career ending injuries to his knees, and still won a WC, and is the all-time WC score leader. 2nd best player I've seen, behind Zidane...
June 06, 2010 at 09:54 pm
As another example of my "wall of text" below, that was a twitter comment i didn't agree with, but I'm in no position to tell him to "stop" doing that lol, because it's his opinion.
Anyway i didn't really like Ronaldo that much until he came to Real Madrid and really was one player, coupled with Sergio Ramos and maybe Raúl, who really pushed the spirit of competition of the institution for whole year. :)
June 06, 2010 at 10:06 pm
Okay, but I'm not telling him how to do anything...
I saw the twitter, don't have one and asked him here, because the subject matters to me and want to know his opinion.
That, to me, is a conversation, not a scold...
June 07, 2010 at 12:03 am
NO no, i wasn't directing it to you. We both pretty much did the same, cause i don't have a twitter account and posted my opinion on Ronaldo here.
My point was more of a "situation" that could present at any given person over twitter, and how people try to tell you what to do on a space that is yours thanks for said company.
June 06, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Just realized you were probably meaning Cristiano Ronaldo...
People, let's get this over with:
The World Cup Champion, all time World Cup score leader, the 3x Best player in the world, the one of the greatest players of all time is RONALDO. Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima.
The other one, who hasn't won sh*t, is CRISTIANO RONALDO. Please don't refer to him as Ronaldo... That's offensive. Now I'm telling people what to do.
June 07, 2010 at 12:04 am
Yeah i never knew why on earth they let him put "Ronaldo" over his shirt and now have the bad habit of just saying that I guess.
June 07, 2010 at 04:47 pm
It's offensive to refer to someone by their name, ummm ok?
-----
RONALDO was a great player for sure, but this is why I hate the bullshit, "he's a winner" meme for sports. It's a lot easier to win World Cups playing for a Brasilian juggernaut than playing for Portugal. In fact, Portugal has a very impressive World Cup run the last time around, spearheaded by Cristiano.
-----
Disclaimer: I'm a Madrid supporter, although I bear no ill will towards RONALDO. He was a fantastic player.
June 07, 2010 at 12:56 am
Oh geez, Soccer? Dude is - "2nd best player I’ve seen, behind Zidane…" - that (Zidane)the headbutt guy? 'Cause THAT GUY's my #1 and only!
Dude kicks serious azz!
WOOOOOOT
June 07, 2010 at 11:25 am
Zidane's much more than a Headbutt. But the headbuttee (?), Materazzi, that's a LB playing soccer... He tackles better than Hawk IMHO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpG4AHlZrL4

People need to discern the context in which a blog and twitter work. The concepts of the aforementioned, weren't necessary the ONLY media outlet out there for Journalism. Yes they are powerful tools, but the reality is that it's a "Personal" space for any individual over the internet to post whatever they feel.
If you don't start to like what somebody writes in any of these outlets, then don't read it nobody is forcing you to. As an example, I stopped reading Pelissero's twitter because it was related to the Twin Cities activities, i may now randomly check whatever he says. And yes I realize he uses his account for journalism purposes but it would be equally accountable for anybody else that writes his opinion in said media.
June 07, 2010 at 12:52 am
"If you don’t start to like what somebody writes in any of these outlets, then don’t read it nobody is forcing you to."
Well put CJ. I always look at the name associated with the post before reading, there are certain Poster's that I will just never read again. For one reason or another, I just skip 'em. I'm sure I have people that do the same with mine. GOOD! Then there are a handful I never pass up.
Read what you want, what freedom! God Bless America (and Guatemala, and Brazil(RS), and AusieVille (Aus), and Germany (Hof))!

Thanks for the blessing, Fitz! But we all know that it's "God bless America, and no place else!"

I'm not here to read columns written in journalese, but I do think your swearing is more effective when it's very rare and used for emphasis (insert smarmy use of fuck here).
June 07, 2010 at 03:03 am
He very rarely swears or blows a gasket (as he clearly did here... priceless)...
fuck
June 07, 2010 at 01:53 am
I don't trust guys who never swear. It's unholy and wrong.
June 07, 2010 at 02:21 am
Fuckin' A

I agree with this. if you don't like nagler's blog, you have plenty of choices: leave, start your own blog, fly a kite, etc.
But often times with nagler, the opinions come with a big dose of I-know-more-than-you-do (PERIOD), which can be grating. Then again, that's just blogging 101: have strong opinions, and you'll get a reaction/readers. And nagler has done real well to build a profile, and a blog. The numbers, twitter follows, etc don't lie.
But then again, when you have such strong opinions, be prepared to eat some humble pie on occassion. After having plenty to say about the CM3 pick last year, Nagler comes back this year and let's us know, "I'm on board with whoever Ted takes" and hey, "I'm not a draft guy." That's rich.
And then there's twitter where nagler plays the part of Scotty J to Rodgers' Dirk Diggler. But you know what? If that bothers me, I can choose not to follow him (I don't).
But here's the distinction: I'm not telling nagler *how* to write/act on Twitter, or on this blog, I'm just calling certain things as I see them. Just like he does.
Happy blogging, cocksuckers.

"After having plenty to say about the CM3 pick last year, Nagler comes back this year and let’s us know, “I’m on board with whoever Ted takes” and hey, “I’m not a draft guy.” That’s rich." - well, you are leaving out the part where I said "I was wrong". (Check out my end-of-year grade on Matthews http://cheeseheadtv.com/blog/2009-season-defensive-player-grades)
Perhaps my stance this year was due to lessons learned? Or am I required to think the same way forever and ever for as long as this blog shall live?
June 07, 2010 at 09:03 am
"Or am I required to think the same way forever and ever for as long as this blog shall live?"
I wouldn't dare tell you how to think. Remember, it's YOUR blog ;)
PackerAaron
June 07, 2010 at 09:07 am
Damn skippy. :)
And Scotty J? Really? I'm much more Reed Rothchild. Have you ever seen that movie Star Wars? People say I remind them of Han Solo...
June 07, 2010 at 11:32 am
Really? I thought when you were with you playoff beard you kinda resembles Chewy... I mean, you do eat kittens, right? ;)
June 07, 2010 at 04:51 pm
Actually, I thought Aaron's CM3 stance was more about draft theory rather than about CM3. Aaron's never been a "draft guy" in terms of prospect analysis, but he has always espoused opinions about the "process." Bit of a difference. He was also hardly the only media member who harbored such feelings about the trade.
June 07, 2010 at 04:51 pm
Perfection.
June 07, 2010 at 09:25 am
I love the off season. The whole off season is pure speculation and opinion, due to lack of real games to debate.
Therefore to back up our statements we have to get really firm with our words.
I love this site, great humor and excellent coverage of the Packers.
June 07, 2010 at 12:10 pm
Nagler is sometimes wrong, and so are all of us fans.
Note what the famous football guru Gandhi said on the topic:
"I am not concerned with being consistent in what I say, I am concerned with being consistent with the Truth as its revealed to me"
So even Gandhi has yer back Nagler...
And that will help when you blog about why 30 teams took a pass on FS OJ Atogwe despite your impassioned plea for GB to go after him...
June 07, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Great clip Aaron, if the kid is guilty may expirience what Al did last night
June 07, 2010 at 04:55 pm
I will never understand what the big deal is about "profanity." They're just words. They only offend if you allow them to.
June 07, 2010 at 04:56 pm
Btw, I have no idea why I was using my twitter handle to post today. Consider it a BarBri-induced brain fart.
June 08, 2010 at 01:26 am
No one has a constitutional right to not-be-offended. (insert terrible slur here)
