The Green Bay Packers make a special trip Friday to our nation’s Capitol, routing around Cleveland for their much-awaited visit with President Barack Obama.

After the visit, the team will head back to Cleveland for the first preseason game against the Browns Saturday night.

Much has been written about Charles Woodson’s now famous post-game speech that concluded with the promise that if the president wasn’t going to see them play in the Super Bowl that the team would go see him.

That promise is soon to come to fruition. (more…)

After all, it had been the Packers’ rallying cry at the end of last season.

Packers reporters tweeted within the last few minutes that Packers president Mark Murphy had been in touch with White House officials and it looks like the Packers could meet with President Barack Obama sometime in August.

That’s great news not only for Packers players, but for all football plans.

Lori Nickel had the following tweet that was similar to several others:

RT @packers #Packers have been in contact w/White House. Looking at August for visit. Murphy looks forward to Woodson, Obama shaking hands

We look forward to that day, too.
