Happy minicamp day, ladies and gentlemen. Today is the first day of the Green Bay Packers' mandatory minicamp, which runs through June 14. At the end of minicamp, everyone goes on a nice long break until training camp starts. We'll probably write a lot about minicamp and read way too much into everything that everyone says, because it's the summer and we're football-deprived and we need something, dang it. Here's your daily dose of Green Bay Packers news and links.
