Here Come the Swashbucklers

[NEW LINKS ADDED TO “NEWS” SECTION BELOW]
We used to see these guys twice a year for a few decades when they were in the Division, but now they come to annoy us only occasionally. This weekend is one of those times. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers roll into Lambeau Field on Sunday at Noon to take on the 9-0 reigning World Champions — and your Packerville, U.S.A. editor will be there in person to cheer on the Pack. We’re heading up Saturday morning to make the rounds and then stay the night in preparation for the game on Sunday.

And so, it’s on to the video. Here is the N.F.L. Network game preview.
