My Friends,

Just returned from a night of recon on the shores of algae bay. Saturday night's repast was held at the Lorelei Inn, the famed Bears fan safe house in the shadow of the frozen tundra. The Wienerschnitzel was excellent, as was the Hacker-Pschorr lager draft. But I digress.

The front page of the post game Press-Gazette (what's a Gazette, anyway?) sports section had a headline that said, "Rough first half for packer offensive line, which struggled with run and pass blocking." Whew! At least they handled their punt blocking assignments!

Looks like The Billy's consecutive start streak might be in jeopardy. Heck, he might not even make it through the opener.

It's less than four weeks away... .
