McCarthy-We have a lot of big games coming up, but the only one I’m focused on is the Detroit Lions #packers

Rodgers-We control our own destiny. We can make a run at the division title and that’s our first goal. We have to create some momentum

Ooh! First time I’ve wanted to actually watch 60 Minutes in a long time! #AaronRodgersInterview! #GoPackGo

Rodgers: It’s always a grind. Put a lot of time in. I’m going to be real critical of this game, try to get better. I need to play better.

Mike Spofford of Packers.com posted the story below about Kevin Greene and the fact that for the first time he has made the cut as a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The Green Bay Packers’ linebackers coach who has brought enthusiasm and a player’s attitude to the coaching ranks for the Packers, has been in Green Bay for the past three years and is probably most well known among the general public for his comments in last year’s Super Bowl that were caught on tape when he told linebacker Clay Matthews that “It is time…” Matthews consequently went out and forced the game-changing fumble by the Steelers’ Rashard Mendenhall.

Spofford’s story spells out the full field of finalists and gives us a look at the personal bio of Greene’s.
