Insiders, how many hours in an average day are you “paying attention” to what credible news outlets (other than click-bait sites) are reporting about the Packers?
The better question is how many hours are we not. Aside from sleeping, almost never. Occupational hazard.

Bit disappointed to see the Dallas game isn’t a Monday night game. Your thoughts.
The league gives the networks that are shelling out billions of dollars to televise the games some priority picks in the scheduling process. FOX clearly put the McCarthy return to Lambeau very high on its list, if not at the top. I expect the Packers to have plenty of night games regardless.
Other pro wrestlers with Packers connections were Dick “The Bruiser” Afflis who played four years as a guard, tackle and defensive lineman. Honorable mention is Vern Gagne who played three exhibition games in 1949. He might have made the team but there was a disagreement with the Bears on who owned his rights.

Christian Watson is by far my favorite pick in the draft, and by no means do I wish the Pack would’ve taken someone else, but Watson has never really had to deal with the Green Bay cold. He grew up in Tampa and played in an indoor stadium at NDSU. I just wanna know how you think he will fare in the Lambeau snow.
It’s difficult for any college player to be prepared for the upper Midwest in December and January when almost no college seasons include outdoor games in northern climates then. But if you look at NDSU’s schedules, the program has played plenty of outdoor games in Midwestern states in November (as well as March in the COVID-delayed season).
