Help Send CHTV To the Combine

It happened - as of this morning, I am a credentialed member of the media. Well, for one event anyway.

That's right, yours truly has been credentialed for the NFL Combine.

Of course, because God has a sense of humor,  just this past weekend our car was the victim of a hit and run, causing $2,000 worth of damage. So here I sit, a desperate blogger, asking for your help. Please, take a second to click on the "Buy Us A Beer" over to the right there on the Homepage (or scroll down all the way to the bottom on the post itself)  and help get me rental car that I can drive to Indianapolis next Thursday.

We try to keep these blegs to a minimum, and you were all incredibly generous when our soundboard blew up (a classic moment in Packer Transplants history) Obviously, this is an even bigger deal that would mean a lot for the site, not to mention myself personally. I gave the NFL a whole spiel about how bloggers were the future and they seemed to have been swayed - but boy would I look like an idiot if I don't show up. Help CHTV readers - you're my only hope.

Want to help (a little bit) and RT and encourage others to do the same. Where is the "Buy us a beer" link? Don't see. And congrats on the combine. I enjoy the work you guys do. Among the best Packer coverage around.

Aaron - My wife and I are due with our first child (daughter) right now. You should have seen the dirty look I received when, with great excitement, I said the following: "Honey, now that you're overdue I'll be home at the same time as the NFL network telecasts it's annual Scouting Combine!".......if looks could kill.

P.S. - I bought you a beer, best of luck. Keep an eye on Carrington (Ark. St.); Saffold (Ind.); Johnson (Ala.); I could go on and on. Start a post asking about prospects the Packers could/should eye.

I'm afraid it's illegal for minors to purchase alcoholic beverages in the state if Illinois... ;)

I'm sorry I can't help you with beer-buying, but I'll put up a link on CHHQ (my Pack site) and your problem/epic success will be the subject of my post tomorrow. I have a couple regular readers who might be able to help. Good luck and congrats.

Go Pack Go!

Forget about the car, cow42. Heck, I'd fly there if it were me. That doesn't matter.
-------------------
What matters is that a very cool Packers blog got a credentialed press pass to the combine. That's a huge deal in the land war that is blogs v. "traditional sports journalism." Hey, this is America...you don't have to contribute. But it would probably be more courteous to at least shut your trap about it. no offense...

cow - you realize that most sites you visit for your Packers news are run by companies that actually pay their employees? This site is two guys who do it without ANY financial backing. Do you seriously have a problem with people wanting to help someone? That's a pretty sad and jaded way to go through life man.

Mr. Nagler,
I have absolutely no money (really!) but I do live in Bloomington IN, about an hour from Indy.
If you find a car and want to couch surf here at our house and save hotel money, you'd be welcome.
Peace
Ross M.E.

Enough of the discussion regarding the bull (I assume it's a man). Aaron, all of us are proud, I'm sure, to add a little assistance to an worthy endevor we all enjoy and look forward to reading. Just our way to own a little piece of the rock.

helping you and paying for you to go to the combine are 2 completely different things.
---
i don't mean to be an ass - really i don't. i just don't get it.
---
i enjoy the service you provide... great stuff. i also enjoy the service my mail man provides but if he ever asks me to pay for a rental car for him i'll tell him to "f" off.

cow - your mail man is PAID to deliver your mail! OF COURSE you wouldn't pay him! And you still don't get it. I was all set to go and then something happened, so I came to the readers of MY BLOG and asked for THEIR HELP. Most wanted to help. You? Not so much.

In addition, I have a large stash of frequent flier miles. I'd be glad to pitch in a ticket in the future if needed.

In spite of the fact that Mr. Nagler called me ma'am ;) and that he doesn't follow me on Twitter, I support his mission to go and get all kinds of good info for Cheesehead Nation. Therefore, I'm in.

Have fun - I'm jealous but at least I'll get to read about it.

Wow, Aaron. You've crossed the line with your responses to Cow42. You work for a law firm, but you can't afford a rental car? You basically call the people that can't or won't pay for your 'vacation' unappreciative? That is as arrogant as one can be & you are the one that comes off as unappreciative. You don't appreciate the fan base that you've received for basically posting opinions? You aren't doing godly work here, so lets keep things in perspective.
____________
If you think you are unappreciated then make this a pay site & then you will see how many people really appreciate it. Until then stop pissing on the people that make this site what it is. Whether they post once in a blue moon or post multiple times a day, WE are all the same, Packer fans, nothing more & nothing less.
____________
Am I unappreciative because I am unable to donate to you guys at this point, even though I thank you guys for what you give ALL the time? You should know that majority of Americans are hurting due to the recession & each & every little cent that they have/get goes along way to them in helping them live a decent life. That may be extreme, but it really is the truth. Some of your readers may be sitting pretty right now & able to give you money, but I would imagine that a good majority of them are also struggling to make ends meet.
____________
Ruppert don't tell him to shut his mouth for voicing his opinion either. That's what blogs are for & HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO SAY HIS OPINION HERE AS YOU DO. I can't stand people who think they are better than others because they say the politically correct thing always. Cow42 has a valid point, whether he came of rude or not. IMO he was right on the mark & you are the one that came off as an arrogant jerk. Get real people! Aaron & Corey AREN'T curing cancer they are running a blog! What they do is AWESOME for Packer fans, NO DOUBT about it, but honestly they are no different than any of us, other than taking the time out their days to post a thought.
____________
I can't stand when Aaron plays the no financial backing card either. Aaron, if you're going to play that card then provide us with some of the hardships that you have to keep this site afloat. I recall you blasting Packers Lounge for asking for hand outs, but what makes this any different? Please enlighten us as to how hard it really is to do this. I'm under the impression that Corey is the one that has all the hard work with the tech stuff & you just post opinions. Correct me if my assumptions are wrong, but I HATE nothing more than an outspoken hypocrite & you have come off as that in some of your responses in this post & even your post is hypocritical.
____________
I'm sorry if I have offended anyone, but I really took offense to your responses to Cow42, Aaron & Ruppert & thought since everyone always piles on the person who doesn't say things the way people want to hear them, that I would push a little reality the way of Cheesehead TV regardless if people liked it or not.

Awesome Pack Fan. Pure awesome.
-
I LOVE that I took money out of my own pocket to send you a t shirt. And you think I'm going to Indianapolis as a 'vacation'? You're right. That's why I'm up at 1am on a Friday night doing research. Just love those vacations that make you work...
-
There's a lot I could say here, but I'll keep it simple. Don't come on my blog and tell me what to do. Cool? I'm an arrogant jerk? Fine. But I'm an arrogant jerk on MY OWN FREEKIN' BLOG. You are welcome to never visit again. Cheers.

I think Pack Fan went about saying that the entirely wrong way, but I do have one thing I agree with: not every reader here is able to donate, but we still appreciate the service. I'm a highschool freshmen; do you think I'm in any position to be sending money to bloggers I've never met?( no offense Mr. Nagler) I would like to, but I just simply can't. JMHO

Go Pack Go!

PACKERS - there's a very large difference between someone being unable to donate and still appreciating the site and someone who comes on a site they supposedly enjoy and telling people they are stupid for helping out. I completely understand there are many readers who are not in the position to donate. What I don't understand is someone bashing me for needing help or bashing the people who want to help. It just boggles the mind.

I'll keep it simple too, Aaron. Send me an Email with an address or PO Box & I'll send you the shirt back. I have no problem with that at all as it will wash my hands of your misguided guilt trip. Sorry for guessing the right question too. Stay classy, Aaron.
