Ready for Battle Again
Well, we’re ready to begin the next campaign, which starts tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. CDT. The campaign to repeat their championship performance of last season begins in Ohio. Of course, we’d rather they do it without sending 15 players to the injured list, and we’d rather not go through the extreme stress of another N.F.C. Championship game against Chicago, but we’re looking forward to it all starting Saturday night. All we can do is realize just how hard it is for anyone to repeat in the N.F.L. these days (look at the few teams that have), and to enjoy each game as it comes along. We will listen to the exhibition opener against Mike Holmgren’s Cleveland Browns on internet radio, as it will not be on television outside of Wisconsin, and AM radio broadcasts after sundown are a crapshoot. Enjoy, Packers fans... we’ll be here all season to provide looks into the past (our specialty) and links to the present.
