coaching staff just got into visitors elevators and one of their guys shouts “Can’t be losing to that team three times!!”
A coach from the

QB Aaron Rodgers confirms that's him with a case of beer in the back of LT David Bakhtiari's pick-up truck Thursday on McCarthy Way, turning right on to Oneida Street on the way to Lambeau Field. Bless their hearts.

Former

John Kuhn tells
@CBSSportsRadio
he's spoken to
@AaronRodgers12
this week. "At age 37 he's hoping to insure his career in GB DOES get to 40. He's seen what's happened to other QB's. It may take drastic measures to get there." Still a chance he stays? "Absolutely!"
Several black bears have been spotted this week in Wisconsin, and around the Milwaukee area.
Experts say it is the time of year bears are in search of food, a mating partner, and a quarterback.
"I've been on this team for two years now and the team chemistry is way better than it was the year before. Once it's like that, man, it's easy to win football games when a lot of guys love to enjoy to play with each other."

Damian Lillard says when Doc Rivers first arrived in Milwaukee he could not believe they were not using some of the best sets the
#Trailblazers
used when Lillard was in Portland. "We hated going against those," said Rivers. Lillard says Rivers has now installed them here.
Before he arrived we were instructed if any one asked Jordan Love about training camp or his contract talks with the Green Bay Packers “the interview will be over.” We asked. They ended it.
#Packers
LB Rashan Gary was a little late to his NFC Championship presser and apologized. “I had to first compose myself. They’d just watched last year’s 37-20 NFC Championship loss at
#49ers
. Restless. Leans into lens. “We’re not done yet!”
I'm telling ya - Aaron Rodgers is a new man. Today he said he is seeing more open receivers than he has in years AND he knows he needed to get the ball out quicker - in rhythm. Says he has changed his outlook to wake up positive in the morning.

head coach Matt Nagy.
I have a photo from Dec 2013 of Aaron Rodgers, after throwing that 48 yarder to Randall Cobb to beat the Bears, in the tunnel, being hugged by a grateful Ted Thompson. Tonight Jordan Love was the last one off the field, and waiting for him in the tunnel was GM Brian Gutekunst.

OLB coach Britt Reid, 35, (Andy's son) admits to drinking before his Ram truck rammed into a vehicle on the interstate near Arrowhead Stadium. A 5-year-old in critical condition. Britt Reid has "numerous DUI" and will NOT coach in Super Bowl LV.
For 35 years she was the caregiver for Dad, paralyzed from MS. Home 24/7 without much respite. She didn't want to leave his side. After he died she finally went to Family Nite to experience Lambeau Field. I was so proud of her. Mom died last night in her sleep. Lu Clemens was 87.
An agitated Mike McCarthy was asked by a Green Bay reporter what it meant to be back in Lambeau Field….and before the question was over he blurted out, “Look, I’m not trying to be rude. I’m humble pied out,” and exited stage left. FINAL OT

Shareholders meeting, that was followed by a smattering of boos. “No, Aaron was a great player for us for 18 years.” Says he’s a Hall of Famer and “one day we’ll retire his jersey.” Moderate applause.
Remembering that "holy shit!" moment on a Saturday morning, spring of 2014, when out of nowhere there's a photo on Twitter of Julius Peppers inside Lambeau Field, apparently signing a contract with the

RB Josh Jacobs who cuts right, finds gap off tackle. GONE for 60 yard TD. Not even CB Stokes could catch up to him.

WR DK Metcalf asked what prompted the fight that got him ejected at the end of the game? “I’m tired of losing.” Seattle falls to 3-6. Green Bay

Rashan Gary has emerged from blue medical tent with a spring in his step, fist bumping several teammates on the sidelines. Now headed to team locker room.
Apparently David Bakhtiari & Frankie got married. He used to talk about her on his radio phoner with us. Matt LaFleur was there. So was Aaron Rodgers. He officiated. Former Mike Silver tweeted that info out. Dave's reaction? "Mike, what the actual fuck?"
#Packers
: "He's dialed in. He's a grinder. He works his tail off every single day. You see it in the preparation and the way he is in the front of the room. He has supreme command of the install every week. " QB Aaron Rodgers on his head coach Matt LaFleur.
#Packers
Matt LaFleur apologized for being late. Had special guest speaker for team. "A great honor to hear him talk. Drove all the way here from Milwaukee, spoke for 10 minutes, drove all the way back. Shows how much he cares about this team."

Aaron Rodgers calls Bitcoin "defense" against the US Federal Reserve and inflation. "The Fed keeps printing trillions of dollars, and the best defense against inflation, I believe, is Bitcoin." Rodgers at Bitcoin convention in Miami.
The players. The coaching staff. The leadership. The energy level. Save just a few battles for starting roles I can’t think of a more exciting start to a Green Bay Packers football season than what we’re seeing so far in 2024. That locker room is so together, so galvanized.
#Packers
Aaron Rodgers says the excitement he got from this team last spring drove him to work harder over summer. “I can see the 18th hole coming up. I’m not going to play forever.” What “hole” is he at now? Smiles. “I’m making the turn.”
After the traditional Family Night fireworks display over Lambeau Field, Aaron Rodgers walked out of the tunnel to visit with his

teammates' families & friends and posed for pics.
All the best to

OLB/co-team captain Za'Darius Smith says after the loss at

he "consulted with

If Mike Mayock was still the

GM, Rich Bisaccia would be a head coach. The

new Special Teams Coor. is all business. Uses tennis balls during some drills. When a reporter joked he forgot to bring some to his press conference, Bisaccia replied "Is that a question?"
I think I just learned more about NFL special teams operations from
#Packers
Shawn Mennenga in the last 14 minutes, than I have in the last 14 years covering the team. Hackett's enthusiasm. Pettine's focus. I had respect for McCarthy's vets, but boy was this change overdue.
@AaronRodgers12
, thank-you for helping us tell the story of the
#Packers
the past 18 seasons at your locker after practice and post-game. As I've told you before - you're the best in the biz and it's been greatly appreciated. We work for the fans. Safe travels. See you in Canton.

CEO Mark Murphy tells
@markdanielsWNFL
5th Qtr. that joint practices vs
#Saints
“were a success.” They may invite 2 teams next year with 2 preseason home games. Soccer at Lambeau Field will return too. Concerts? “I’d like to bring Bruce Springsteen here before I retire.”
I tend to downplay, lower expectations, and be as accurate as I can be. I can think of only two other years when the confidence, vibe, and expectations were this high in the
#Packers
locker room since I've covered the franchise. So much potential. The window is almost wide open.
Larry McCarren asked Quay Walker if the Packers are in a good spot right now.
“Mr. Larry, I’d be lying to you if I said we wasn’t because honestly, I done been on a championship team and I understand that it’s college and this is the NFL, but chemistry is there already … that’s
The last time a
#Packers
game at Lambeau Field was NOT sold out? Nov. 22, 1959 - Lombardi's first year, in a game against the
#Redskins
. 297 tickets went unsold that Sunday. Since then, the Packers have a streak of 350 sellouts at home.
I do not understand how the NFL can have a game in Mexico or Canada planned for months, and not have the playing field up to the standards of the team's coaches or front office. Absurd. I guess the league doesn't mind chaos. It makes news. Paying fans, however, deserve better.
#Packers
would like the stage for the
#NFL
Draft to be located on the field inside Lambeau Field, as
#Cowboys
did at AT&T Stadium. Mark Murphy said in a meeting when someone asked “What if it snows?” NFL execs replied “That would be great!!” Admission for fans will be free.
Alabama receiver Jameson Williams says his first two interviews yesterday were with the

and
#Packers
. “I run great routes. I have speed you can’t see.” Says he’s been walking around the past 2 weeks without a brace after suffering torn ACL in Nat’l Championship.
Naming a baseball stadium after a beer first brewed in Milwaukee in 1855 is cool. Re-naming a baseball stadium after a company that sells insurance? Lame.

tight end Jimmy Graham said as a matter of fact he disappointed a lot of teams who hoped he'd sign with them. He said Seattle is "Defense, and run, run, run the ball." Can he still play? "I'm still 6-7, and run a 4.5" Why Green Bay instead of New Orleans? "

Matt LaFleur: "Right now Aaron is our QB and I see him here for a really long time. How long that is nobody knows. Nothing is guaranteed in the NFL. But I feel so lucky to be able to work with him on a daily basis and I don’t see that changing for a really long time."

Zach Tom lined up at left tackle with the

offense. Today, he protected Aaron Rodgers' blindside with the 1's. It's just Day 2 in helmets & shorts but the 4th Rd pick out of Wake Forest, at 6-foot-4, 304 lbs. looked pretty good vs. crazy fast OLB Rashan Gary.
You hear Aaron Rodgers repeat and repeat "earn my trust" and "chemistry" with receivers, etc. and roll your eyes. And then Jordan Love throws three picks in 1 half and you're reminded why 12 is headed to the HOF.
Aaron Rodgers was sacked for -12 yards on the
