Welcome to another Monday, Packers fans. The Olympics have started up, which means that I'll be spending almost all of my free time for the next two weeks watching Curling.
As for football news, there was one big story over the weekend, with Missouri defensive end Michael Sam coming out publicly as gay. If you missed that, here's the story from SBNation's Outsports, and we've got more on how the announcement took place below.
Then we get to the draft itself, and we have a new mock draft this Monday morning that will probably make Packers fans pleased. Also we've got a look at how Ted Thompson's strategy affects the team's financial stability.
Take a spin through today's curds, and enjoy!
