As the Packers begin their “Organized Team Activities” (OTA’s) this week, we see a somewhat relaxed coach Vince Lombardi watching his Green Bay players practice some 40-plus years ago. OTA’s are what we used to call “mini-camps” and will see the team on the field three days a week here for three consecutive weeks. Peter King of Sports Illustrated this week ranked the Packers #1 in the N.F.L. as far as the team most likely to win it all this year. Even he admits its a crap shoot at this point, but we like his optimism.
