Eric from Reedsburg, WI

If we have a season, do you believe Roger Goodell will let players protest in the manner that they feel they need to? In the past kneeling during the anthem or messages on clothing was not allowed unless prior permission was given.

To be determined. I expect there will be extensive discussions as to what the league will or will not support.

"Because I've been listening to these players' stories for eight years now but I cannot say I truly heard them – and that bothers me." It takes a person of true character to admit that, especially to a global audience. It is great though to finally see some moments of positive change.

As someone who's been in this business roughly 15 years longer than Wes, I can attest that it's easy to become somewhat emotionally flat-lined to the stories of personal hardships and sacrifices. You know a good one when you hear it, you write it, and you work on finding the next one. That can be the job. A lot of times we reflect for a moment on the finished product. Wes's words have made me realize an additional moment of reflection on the subject would be worthwhile.

Kelly from Green Bay, WI

Will the Packers join another team again this year during training camp?

No. The league is prohibiting joint practices in 2020.

Lori from Brookfield, WI

Reporters have always swarmed around athletes and coaches after a football game to interview them. What do you envision the interview process will look like this season?

I anticipate it'll be much the same as it's been the last few months – online access through a screen.

Mark from Sturgeon Bay, WI

Rewatching SB XLV, GB won the toss, elected to defer. They then said, "Pittsburgh is receiving the kickoff, Green Bay, which goal do you defend?" I thought if you defer, you're choosing to kick off/return the second-half kickoff … So shouldn't Pittsburgh have elected which goal to defend?

Only if it wanted to let the Packers receive both kickoffs. If the Packers defer, the opponent gets the choice of kick, receive, or defend a certain goal. If the opponent chooses to receive, the choice to defend a certain goal reverts back to the other team.

Sean from Menominee, MI

I'm not so sure I agree with Mike's response to the question from Dennis in Beavercreek. Getting the revenue where you can is all well and good, but some teams having a home crowd and other teams not would be a competitive advantage or disadvantage. Would the league court that controversy and compromise the parity and integrity of the game for the money?

I think in these highly unusual circumstances the league would give up some elements of absolute fairness for revenue, yes.

John from Evans, GA

I just applied for Masters tickets and for one day they are $115 for the equivalent of the Super Bowl of golf. The club is flush with money even with one event a year because they own everything around the club, similar to what Green Bay is trying to accomplish. Do you think Green Bay would ever adopt an approach similar to Augusta National where they keep prices low and people apply for tickets to allow more fans an opportunity to watch a game live that maybe couldn't afford it otherwise?

While I appreciate the sentiment, the short answer is no. Roughly one-third of gate receipts are shared, so the Packers' position has long been to keep ticket prices at or just below the league's middle to be a good partner to the other teams without gouging the fans.

Jake from Milwaukee, WI

Hello, with the return to sports, especially where fans are not permitted, there seems to be some creative opportunities for camera angles to further improve the at-home fan experience. What, if any, new camera angles would you be interested in seeing? For me, I'd love to have a camera that could show what a QB sees during a play. I think some fans might further appreciate the QB position if they see the windows the QB has to complete passes in the NFL, not to mention the size of the OL.

I could see various camera angles added that are just above the players' heads – on the field and from the sideline – that are much closer to the action than we've seen before because they wouldn't be blocking any spectator views.
