Well, a 5th preseason game being lost is a good thing.

You volunteered to be the first line of defense against Ebola in a city that was unlikely to ever have a case of it?


Vegas is one of the most cosmopolitan cities, and a world wide travel destination.

So you are comparing yourself putting yourself in danger for a cause that could stop an infectious to disease in case of widespread contamination to a league making a business decision to not carelessly putting players at undue risk that the coaches, players and fans don't even want to play?


I should have mentioned that I was in the Army for Desert Storm, but man the players these days are so coddled. Honestly, if it wasn't our beloved Packers playing: we probably would be calling out the other teams for being pansies about it.

The people who are most likely getting infected by Ebola are not likely to go to Vegas. And the chances of an outbreak in America were slim to none.

Not going to war is a good thing. Not being involved in it does not mean that one is coddled. If that does make one coddled, call me glad to be coddled.

Also found it odd that you ripped guys that try to catch a pass over the middle with Kam Chancellor waiting right there to knock their brain out of their skull not having to play a completely meaningless game where they don't want to tear their ACLs...until later in the season.

Preseason is stupid and meaningless and 5 preseason games are stupid and more meaningless. The best part about Sundays game is no one was added to the injury report.

Amazing how an organization that has 1 game all year can F it up so bad like they did on Sunday. But I don't think this has anything to do with players being coddled/babied. Last year I know for sure one player tore his ACL on that field and complained about the surface so it sounds like it's been somewhat of an issue for at least a couple years. Above all, we walked away with no injuries.
