Thursday Morning Green Bay Packers, Other NFL Links: Awesome Dude Maintains Lombardi's Grave, Eli Manning Gets Dissed

Hey there boys and girls. Unlike me, Brandon has a family and a job that does not involve writing about and/or watching sports all day, so I'm gladly taking over some of the daily work here at Acme Packing Company, at least until the European soccer season starts up again and the "day job" becomes more time consuming. Every morning, I'll be dropping some Packers links on you, as well as links to the best stuff of the day from SB Nation's other football blogs.
