Devin Hester should have been a first ballot HOF'er. I'll die on that hill.

Undoubtedly. In the days before the NFL legislated the return game into extinction (and for good reason), he transformed the way the game was played

From The Athletic:

Rodgers didn't think he'd win the MVP award, though, after his COVID-19 diagnosis and the ensuing controversy. Former NFL punter Pat McAfee said on his daily show in early November how he didn't think Rodgers will ever win another NFL MVP award, insinuating the media voters wouldn't vote for Rodgers ever again. Rodgers replied, "That's a legitimate statement."

Illegitimate, as it turns out.

Fahrenheit, you may have noticed, I'd trade anyone. Particularly, if they're a pain in the ass, talent or no talent, hey?

Juan Anderson's Mixtape

Congrats to Leroy Butler. Much deserved.

I met him once when I worked in TV.  A genuinely nice person, with a smile that lights up a room.  He was genuinely enthusiastic to be there, even at a podunk station in Wausau, WI.  As classy as they come.

Always been a very nice dude.  Have dealt with him on more than a few occasions.

The first jersey I ever owned was a LeRoy Butler jersey back in the 90s.  Always has been and always will be my favorite Packer.

Not a Packer fan at all, but when I was a kid I liked Butler.  He did a signing at a (now closed) memorabilia store near my house.  Went with my Mom to get a signed picture for my Dad.  Owner of the store was a total tool, had it running like an assembly line..."no customized autographs, no standing pictures" or some nonsense.  After a bunch of adults with piles of jerseys and stuff, Butler lit up as he saw me coming.  My mom made a joke about me being a Bears fan and he proceeded to razz me for a bit and then stood up to come around the table to take a pic crouched next to me, waving off the owner who was visibly agitated our interaction was taking so long.  Stuck with me years and years later.  Great dude

That's a real nice story.

It must be tedious signing autographs and posing for pix, and I really understand why some players just don't want to make time for it. I mean, you can sign 500 autographs and then if you stop, the 501st person is pissed off at you.

But still, I do hope most athletes get just how special an interaction with them can be, especially for a kid. What Butler did that day didn't hurt him a bit, and taking those few extra seconds made an impression for life on a kid named Wags.

Dude was a helluva safety. Could really do it all back there. Tackle, pass defend, rush the passer....  Set the stage for those who came after.

My daughter produced the "Pack Attack" show out of Milwaukee for a year after she graduated from MU. My wife and I drove up from Chicago for her first show. It was a week before the season opener and two Packer players came down from Green Bay to be part of the show (Homer was the host). He was nice as was Antonio Freeman. But Leroy Butler was REALLY nice. Actually took time to chat with us, insisted we take several pictures, etc. My daughter worked with a lot of the players that year - Leroy was easily her favorite.

Awesome story. I've truly never heard a bad thing about him.  My mom ran into him at a grocery store about a year ago where he was doing some sort of minor appearance and he was just as gregarious and outgoing as ever.  Just a total class act and true elite ambassador for the organization. Kind of guy who would light up the room and be memorable if he was a greeter at Walmart, not a HOF talent

Stafford asked for trade. He never beat winning teams. He's dine the same thing Goff did in LA, with a better team. Stafford stans are running around selling "Detroit Rams" shirts in Detroit stores. Stafford's wife called MI a "dictatorship" over COVID restrictions. I realize the my fellow Lions fans are incredibly self-hating but all of this has gone too far. Who Dey? Go Bengals.

Stafford isn't a hall of famer but he is better than Goff.
