FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS, PART चौंतीस

(Indian and check at the end to find out why)

DÉJÀ VU RIDICULOUS

J-Al at Mini-Camp

I had my doubts about all the “glowing” accolades the Packers No. 1 draft pick got from the local kiss-ass media, especially since none of them on draft day had a thing to say about the “Buckley Rule”, which Hall of Famer Ron Wolf lived by after he made the mistake of drafting its namesake and Ted Thompson also followed the whole time he was Packers Head Honcho until he was forced to share his job with “Gute” at least in name only.

Jaire Alexander was rated the 2nd best cornerback in the draft with speed and instincts, but he has one major flaw and it is a big one. He stands 5-10 on his tiptoes and in today’s NFL and even the 1990’s and 2000’s NFL a short cornerback has issues against even the average wide receiver, who rarely is shorter than 6-0 and most of the time is 6-3 or more.

 

T-Buck Back in the Day

But now, and you can’t make this up and what Packer Backer would want to, Terrell Buckley was position coach for Jaire Alexander at Louisville and in case you think I’m lying here’s what J-Al said, “T-Buck, he taught me a lot of technique. As far as swagger goes, I tell T-Buck all the time, ‘I got my swag from T-Buck.’ So he knows that. He played with some swagger too, now, if you watched him.” Seems I was telling the truth and so was the Milwaukee Journal.

Swagger

It seems that Jaire Alexander is almost a carbon copy of Terrell Buckley physically and now we know why he is almost a carbon copy of Terrell Buckley in playing style.

T-Buck as J-Al's coach at Louisville

 The Packer front office and the Packer Backers in general have long memories and the last thing “WE” or is it “THEM” need is a blast from the past on draft day. Do the Packers want to draft a tackle who worked with Tony Mandarich’s drug dealer or Derek Sherrod’s trainer? Do the Packers want to draft a defensive end who was trained by the same men who trained Jamal Reynolds and Justin Harrell? Do the Packers want to draft a quarterback who was coached by the same men who coached up Jerry Tagge and Rich Campbell? Or do the Packers want to draft a player that uses Bruce Clark’s agent? I think not.

I think the parallels are too bizarre to ignore and are sadly DÉJÀ VU RIDICULOUS. However, I hope J-Al becomes an instant starter and a perennial All-Pro but….

YOU SAID WHAT RIDICULOUS

 

Fields and Cow Stuff in North Carolina

Jaire Alexander is from Charlotte, North Carolina and played his college ball at Louisville, Kentucky, so when he said this after being drafted by Green Bay, “Never in my life did I think I’d be here in Wisconsin, so it’s an experience. It’s definitely different. Even the plane ride coming in, I’m like, ‘Man, there’s so many fields and stuff.’ I don’t know what to expect. But it’s been pretty cool.” I had to say, "SAY WHAT!!"

Fields and Blue Grass Stuff in Kentucky

Humm, fields and stuff. I don’t think living in Charlotte and Louisville is like living on the mean streets of New York or Chicago.

The Same Fields and Dairy Stuff in Wisconsin

 I know for a fact that North Carolina and Kentucky have fields and stuff, so 1 of 2 things is going on with J-Al. Either he was just talking (we are living in a Trump World) or he never got outside the dorm and football complex. I’m guessing it’s the latter and for that it’s RIDICULOUS.

MORE RIDICULOUSNESS OR MAYBE ITS SUBLIME

Speaking of little old rural Green Bay J-Al thinks he was drafted into this item came up recently that shows Green Bay isn’t as bumpkin as J-Al thinks. It seems a former Facebook executive who is a Green Bay native and somehow escaped the dairy, see J-Al they aren’t all dairy workers and hunters, is selling his house located just a few blocks from Lambeau Field, and by the way J-Al Lambeau Field is the football stadium you will be playing in and not an actual field, at 910 Stadium Drive in Ashwaubenon, which is……hey forget it. I’ve milked J-Al’s knowledge or lack there of too much already.

 

Packer Party House has a Prime Location

Here’s the listing, "Approximately 150 feet away from the most famous football stadium in the world, The Packer Party House allows guests to feel as though they are right in the center of the best tailgate partying in all of sports while having all of the comforts this 3 bedroom home has to offer.”

 

Packer Party House is Well Stocked

And that isn’t all. Here’s the kicker and I don’t mean Mason Crosby or J.K. Scott, the ex FB Ex only wants cryptocurrency and he wants a lot of it - a cool million. The house itself is assessed at $236,400 and he bought it for $285,000 in 2011 to entertain clients.

Bitcoin

 He will only accept bitcoin or ethereum and the owner wants to use the sale of the house to push blockchain technology. I bet J-Al doesn’t know what that is, but some backwoods Wisconsin native sure does. If it sells it would be the first blockchain house sale in the country. Only one other has happened and it was in the Ukraine.

 

Ethereum

I would say this is both RIDUCULOUS for J-Al’s snooty attitude even if he doesn’t know he has one and SUBLIME for little Green Bay, the smallest town that supports a major sports franchise, to be on the cutting edge of the new world order.

UPDATE: This 1st appeared in late December and I couldn’t find any update to date.

UPDATE RIDICULOUS OR SUBLIME (YOU MAKE THE CALL)

First Sighting in Scottsdale

Since we last ridiculized Aaron Rodgers and Danica Patrick are still an item. A-Rod and D-Pat started their relationship around January 14 when they were spotted at The Mission Mexican restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona.

 

Romance Unveiled at Pebble Beach

So with all the secrecy gone the Dynamic Duo hit the road and have been on tour ever since first making the scene on Feb. 6 at the Pebble Beach Pro Am.

Consummation at the Daytona 500

 Then at her last race at the Daytona 500 on Feb. 17.

 

Post Consummation in Tulum

Their whirlwind romance hit Tulum, Mexico after the Daytona 500 on Feb. 23.

 

All Smiles at her Sweet 36

Next up was her 36th birthday on March 27.

 

Together Again on the Subcontinent

Then on April 12 they made a trip to India as part of the philanthropic mission of the Starkey Hearing Foundation. 

DOOMED RIDICULOUSNESS

Hand in Heart in the Heartland

D-Pat’s father is not a fan of A-Rod. At the Daytona 500 he put up on his social media this statement, “No kneeling in NASCAR!! Hand in heart!!” I guess he meant Hand on heart, but that’s nitpicking in a Trump World.

 

No Kneeling, But in T.J.'s World It''s Still Kneeling

He also commented on a picture of Rodgers and the Packers locking arms instead of putting their hand in their hearts, “Can someone tell me what they are protesting?” If someone has to tell him what they are protesting then T.J. is the problem.

Whipped

I think A-Rod will need to realize the Trump part of the nation, of which it is obvious that T.J. Patrick is a hat wearing member in good standing, will never accept him for being a heathen professional athlete no matter what he does (see above).

 

D-Pat Trying Her Best to Ward Off Doom

And for that, in addition to some other things I mentioned in the last installment of FTSTTR, I think this love affair is doomed.
