Friday is here, everyone! There's still over a week until the Super Bowl, but there's football being played this weekend. Well, let's call it "football", since it's a pair of All-Star games (the Senior Bowl and the Pro Bowl). Packers running back Eddie Lacy is on Team Deion, so good for him.

In any case, every team has a head coach now, and the Packers should be worried about one in particular. We have that and much more in today's curds.
