NFL fans, including those of us who follow the Green Bay Packers, sit here with 30 weeks of Sundays without football to endure.

That’s a lot of days and weeks to try to put the past season into perspective and to speculate about what may be ahead of us in 2016.

Which teams will eventually end up in the Super Bowl a year from now?

Who will be the first player selected in the draft?

Which team will improve itself most in free agency?

Will the Packers be as competitive as they have in the past and regain the title of NFC North Division champion?

Yes, it’s a lot to consider.

That said, we figured because there are 30 weeks to consider all of the above that we (even though it’s a a couple of days past Valentine’s) would consider 30 reasons why we love the Green Bay Packers.

On the following pages are random thoughts … this is not a ranking. They are all important.

So, as you turn the pages, don’t look at this as one of the thousands of posts ranking this and that.

This is just one Packers fan’s random thoughts about why we love this greatest franchise in all the National Football League.

Enjoy …
