Hey kids, sorry about missing the last couple of days. The good news is I didn't get hit by a car or convert to an ancient religion and give up the internet, I just had a couple of bad days. The bad news is that the day I came back, there were only a couple of decent Packers stories that I came across. So, here is your (slightly shortened) Green Bay Packers and NFL news and links for Wednesday.
