Today the NFL released the 2007 regular season schedule, giving everyone a reason to anticipate the coming of Fall... and with the weather here today in the Midwest, it feels like Winter all over again already.
Several of Green Bay’s recent “nemesis” teams are on the slate, including Philadelphia (who has to come to Lambeau this time), and Dallas — where the Packers will play in Texas Stadium for the last time, as a new stadium will be completed in “Big D” for the 2008 season. With some of the 1990’s Playoff nightmares that happened down there, not too many Green Bay fans will lament the wrecking ball leveling the place.
Thankfully, the Packers won’t be playing on either Christmas or New Years this year, but they will be playing in the early game on Thanksgiving in Detroit.
Those of us who are former “Milwaukee” ticket holders (the “Gold” ticket package) will see Seattle in the preseason, with San Diego and those idiots from Minnesota in the regular season.
