We turn our focus today to the modern-day Packers, and an advertisement in the August 10th issue of Sports Illustrated. Many thought the team would drop off the face of the earth in the post-Brett Favre era, but we see that Gatorade, the NFL, and the NFL Players Association still recognize Green Bay’s Training Camp as the ideal example of the new season’s start. In the ad, defensive end Michael Montgomery works on his footwork agility drills as his fellow linemen await their turn behind him. The new season starts this Saturday night at Lambeau Field against the Cleveland Browns. Your “Packerville” editor will be attending the game in what hopefully will be beautiful weather. The annual “Family Night” scrimmage last Saturday evening was not so lucky — being cancelled because of severe weather and lightning in the area.
