It looks as though even the weather will cooperate with the Green Bay Packers tomorrow when they open their first public Organized Team Activities tomorrow, Thursday, May 28.
All spring practices are open to the public only if the weather cooperates and given that when the team is scheduled to hit Clarke Hinkle Field at 11:30 a.m., they should be doing it under clear to partly cloudy skies, according to the Weather Channel.
That’s really good news because we’re ready for some football. Good God, how can we not remember the final three minutes of the Packers meltdown in Seattle? How can we not be excited to finally rid ourselves of the demons we’ve been carrying since Jan. 18?
It is time for a brand new season where everyone’s unbeaten and headed to the Super Bowl.
It means that much more to us Packers fans, who have endured the “so close to the Super Bowl” mantra for months now.
That said, there’s so much to look forward to as the team makes its first public appearance, albeit in shorts and helmets.
That doesn’t matter, because there are lingering questions we want to address; things that need to be answered in the coming weeks and months – and it all gets started tomorrow.
Can you not say you’re pumped? OK, so am I.
Let’s take a look at some of the things we want to know and some of the things we look forward to watching unfold.
