Now would be a good time to find it


From the kid at heart, is it Lego time yet?

I hate to burst everyone’s bubble, but I have not been able to secure a yes on Lego highlights. It isn’t my call, but I will keep conveying the masses’ wishes.

The Packers winning Christmas Day was the best birthday present this girl could ask for! What are the chances of David Bakhtiari being available for the Vikings game?

Aaron Rodgers told McAfee yesterday he expects Bakhtiari to be able to practice this week, so stay tuned I guess.

Welcome to Florida, Spoff! An A/C vent over your head in 47-degree weather is the norm but not the coldest place in the state. That would be the freezer aisle in any grocery store but at least there you can keep walking.
