Just beat the Buccaneers! I still feel responsible for 2014. I watched Super Bowl tickets on my phone in the 4th quarter. I’m not making that mistake again. Go Pack Go!
LeRoy Butler made the same mistake.
Good morning, West! With the recent signing of Tramon, I wondered if there was a chance the Packers could get John back on the field on Sunday? I can hear the 9,000-plus at Lambeau sticking out his name as he flattens the LBs for our three full-backs.

Fred from La Crosse quotes Grandmaster Oogway from ‘Kung Fu Panda’.
I can promise you Spoff has not seen ‘Kung Fu Panda’ yet. He looks more like a “Karate Kid” man.

Good morning gentlemen, assuming that II readers unpack everything that concerns Packers, why do so many of us not accept Aaron Rodgers’ recent statement of his being to live in the moment and understand that the future is beautiful mystery? I will suppress all anxiety about the upcoming game and take care of himself tomorrow.
I will not be too hard on yourself, Steve. Because there are many things you do not know. There’s a lot I do not know. We did not experience what Rodgers and this team experienced. We have not sat in those meetings yet. We were literally not in that locker room yet. We do not know the game plan. But this team is full of confidence … and mentally, Rodgers is in a good place. Whether you are in the stands or watching, we have the best seats in the house to see the greatness revealed on Sunday.

Decades ago, I lived in Milwaukee. My family is going to Milwaukee County Stadium to watch the Packers and of course the Milwaukee Braves. In 1957, under the leadership of Henry Aaron, the Braves won the World Series. Hearing the death of Hammerin ‘Hank brought back memories of him. A good player and a better man.
Speaking of greatness … the word ‘legend’ does not even begin to describe Hank Aaron. He was such an important and iconic figure, not only for baseball, but also for our country. There are so many stories I told my grandfather about Hammerin ‘Hank, but what I appreciate most is how Aaron remained true to his professional roots in Milwaukee, and accepted his return with the novice Brewers in 1975. What a sad 12 months for Wisconsin sports.

Good morning! Atta boy Spoff and West! Or is it Hod and Mike. Both couples deserve Atta boys. From doinks to laser beams to observers, not children’s mouths, we learn something new every day. Keep up the good work, it brightens my day. Go Pack Go!
It was a fun season. Here are two more weeks to try to find answers to the questions that will not go away.

Lambeau Field’s highest honor,
There is no place like your home.
There certainly are not. I also can’t wait to hear that Lambeau crowd again. It was an electric atmosphere last Saturday. OK, it’s that time. Dean, take it away.

The price is clearly in sight
The mountain top two victories away
A battle with a southern bay
An enemy who defeated our Men of the Emerald Bay on their home field months ago
Led by a goat, they now come to the Frozen Tundra battle
They will try to repeat their dominion over our sacred ground
The time has come to raise Men of the Bay
Keep the rate that has reached the top within reach
*The Packers have been climbing that mountain for the past six months. That’s all they worked for and now it’s ready to go. Enjoy the game, everyone. *
