She was in a sorority and their "brother" frat always had parties. We went and I had a blast. I was shot gunning beers, jumping off their coffee table to slam a nerf and embarrassing my daughter. It was great.
The mental image I have from your description is made all that much better by imagining the muppet from your avatar as the one doing all those things
I basically live to embarrass my kids now, so I look forward to doing something like this someday.
I had to jump off the coffee table due to the height of the ceiling. My first attempt, the ball hit the rim, I went tumbling about 6 ft and ran head first into the wall. Put a little divet in the drywall.
One of the other funny (to me anyway) stories to come out of that night. One of the frat guys was asking me what I did for a living. I told him I am a probation officer. He got excited and stated we had something in common. I asked if he was going into criminal justice and he stated, "No, I am on probation!!"
@wulfy I hear you on his willingness to burn bridges but if he's got an ego to him the lights and cameras might be another motivation to stay. Especially considering how close they got to the Super Bowl last year.

Good ol' fashioned game of Chicken here ....

That’s the gist of a recent report from Matt Schneidman of TheAthletic.com, and it makes plenty of sense. Schneidman writes that the Packers would trade Rodgers if the Packers “believed he was truly committed to never playing for them again,” and if the Packers “wanted to get draft picks and players in return instead of forcing him to retire.”
While to a certain extent obvious given the current posture of quarterback and player, the news here is that the Packers don’t buy the idea that Rodgers will refuse to show up and play for them. The question of whether they’d prefer draft picks and players and letting him play elsewhere over the money they’d get back from him if he retires (nearly $30 million in bonuses plus salary avoidance, starting with $14.7 million this year) doesn’t become relevant until the Packers conclude that he will never play for them again.
My money is on the Packers flinching first - this is a guy who gives zero ****s about destroying personal relationships. Ask his entire family or Olivia Munn or Danica Patrick ... or anyone else he's ever been close to.
Tough crowd - though in fairness none of Wulfy's Exs would ever say anything negative about him:)
To be fair, a better example may have been his fractured relationship with his family. And it's no one's business, but my point is that if someone pisses him off, he has no issues putting them in the rear view mirror.
Adam Schefter: Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is not expected to attend Green Bay's mandatory minicamp that starts Tuesday, per sources. Green Bay could opt to fine him $93,085 for his absence or it could make it an excused absence and waive the fine. But Rodgers is not expected there.

Him not showing will give us Bears fan something more to laugh about until training camps start (in July?). It'll give Pack fans major heartbreak. They'll really have to put Love under the microscope and see if they think he can be effective this year if called into service.
What Rogers wants (aside from more money) is for the Packers FO and Lafluer to publicly come out and say how much they miss him, and they aren't going to be nearly as good without him. He wants to have his ass kissed. It's not going to happen. If LaFluer is a good coach, and the Packers FO is at all competent, they are going to keep talking about their confidence in who they have right now. Which will just piss Erin Rogers off more.

Week 1 he will be there and this will all feel as distant as Russ to Chicago feels now.
There was next to 0 chance of Russ coming to Chicago. There's even less of a chance of Aaron Rodgers not playing for the Packers week 1. He learned from the best how to be a diva thats nearing the end of their career. Hopefully Rodgers career will end in similar fashion to that other douche bag
"From the people I've talked to, Rodgers isn't budging off his stance and it isn't about money, as he has declined an offer from the Packers already that would have paid him $40+mil per."

Maybe he's tired of looking up in the stands and seeing this:
Couldn't happen to a better group of people or a nicer guy. Fuck them.
I was lucky enough to be in the stands the game in which Sweetness set the single game rushing record. There was a Bears fan a couple of rows down, similar physique, naked from the waist up on a frigid day, waving a half-empty bottle of Jack. Not a pretty sight.
I've always wondered if part of the Packer 2 minute drill involves looking for the flag at the end of every play and then having a favorable penalty on a failed 3rd down conversion. Yes I'm convinced the league rigs it in their favor and I'm being serious.

I think he's upset that Tampa moved heaven and earth to get Brady any help they could, and all the stars aligned and they won a Super Bowl. Meanwhile he's carrying whole team on his back every year and they don't pursue free agents and don't draft weapons for him.
