Happy Friday, everyone! As the last day of work until Monday (or Tuesday for those of you taking sick days after the Super Bowl), we have your last edition of cheese curds before the big game. As such, we have the two most important Super Bowl articles in the history of history for you at the bottom of the list.
Also, there's real stuff in here, like a look at Ted Thompson's draft preparation, Mike Daniels looking to step up even more in 2014, and Mike McCarthy discussing how to handle Super Bowl week.
Enjoy!
