Hey Wes, not to compare apples to oranges, but it seems like the trend in professional sports is players changing teams/cities more often to team up with other players and take more ownership of their careers to market themselves. For example, LeBron James has played for three different teams at various stages in his career. While the NBA is different than the NFL, I also never thought I would see Tom Brady in a Buccaneers uniform. Do you see this as a trend or are they more exceptions to the rule?
Well, I also didn't think Brady would play 20-plus seasons. I think he's the exception to almost every rule. But I think the trend will continue in the NBA but it's tough to great a "mega team" in the NFL because of the size of rosters.

It's awesome that Wisconsin stars such as Christian Yelich, Za'Darius Smith, Aaron Jones and David Bakhtiari cheer on the Bucks in person. Is this a recent trend in professional sports or have players always attended their state's other pro sporting events?
It's been a common occurrence since the turn of the century and maybe even earlier than that. I remember Prince Fielder, CC Sabathia and some players coming to a Packers game in 2008. The difference now is social media shines such a flood light on athletes' attendance at games these days.

Do you think the press will be camping out at airports in California and Wisconsin watching for the wild AR arrival?
News is news but I hope it doesn't come to that. I would much rather everyone just walk down to practice next Wednesday and take attendance there.

For the record, I didn't ask any questions related to Adams, contracts, or anything else that could be tied back to the WR1 reports that are out there. I'm not responsible for this one, Wes!
I believe you, Robert.

Packers and Adams "break off long term contract talks" I haven't even been reading insider anymore, not that the column isn't great because I love your guys honest take, but I truly don't understand what the front office is doing. I have to say this is the first time ever training camp is coming up and I have zero excitement. Here's to hoping for some good news coming out of Green Bay before September, until then I'm going back to floating in my pool, my spotted cows await.
I get understand where you're coming from, Jacob. My advice to you, and any other frustrated fan, out there would be to take a breath and let things unfold in real time. Four months ago, most everyone thought Aaron Jones was as good as gone…and then he re-signed. So, nothing is over until it's over. As exasperated as you may feel today, I hope the excitement bug bites in the next few days. Because there is a lot to be excited for, with this team and this season.

People tend to forget how great that Super Bowl XXXI team was. Did you know they are one of only two teams since the merger to lead the league in scoring and in fewest points allowed during the same season? The other team was the '72 Dolphins.
And yet, the Packers still only have two Pro Football Hall of Fame players.
