Happy Wednesday, everyone. It's August 1st, meaning that we have finally entered a month in which 11 vs. 11 football with four quarters and a score is played. I'm unreasonably happy about this being the case. We're getting close to preseason games, and we'll get our first look at something resembling a game situation on Friday. For now, here's your daily Green Bay Packers news and links.
