    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>In Green Bay, Wis., with the Packers. Training camp is technically at St. Norbert College (and has been for 48 years, the longest tenure in the NFL), because that's where the players sleep at night. But in reality the Packers, like many NFL teams, conduct the meat-and-potatoes of their training camp at their regular season training complex. In this case, that means Lambeau Field. (By the way, where the Packers are concerned, meat and potatoes means ground and mashed, on the training table cafeteria line; in true Midwestern style. "When in Rome,'' said Texas native and Packers GM Ted Thompson as he dug into a plate of hearty fare.)

    However, as advertised, Packers indeed ride bicycles loaned by local kids for the short ride across the street from Lambeau to Clark Hinkle Field for practice. This alone lends a homey atmosphere to the proceedings, harkening back to simpler times or something like that. It's cute, put it that way.</div>

    Pretty good stuff. I like what he said about Hawk and it being to early to expect him to knock guys out in training camp like Hodge currently is doing.

    I also like the fact only 1 thing was about Favre and he talked about the team as a whole. Good stuff on Rodgers too.

    I don't think it's fair for anyone to talk bust about Aaron before he's ever had his chance. In the back of my head I'm already waiting abit to next year to see what he'll do when he's the man. I'm also hoping JJ offensive shceme is built to not make Brett have to be the man which it looks like it will be. Brett;s best years in his 30's have been when he wasn't always the man
