One of my favorite traditions in August revolves around the NFL. I know, this is a baseball article. We’ll get to that shortly.   A few Christmases ago, I was looking for something under the tree that would really last. I’m an extremely nostalgic person – so a thought hit me. “Is there a NFL […]

I traveled to Lambeau Field for the Green Bay Packers Annual Meeting of Shareholders last week. I took in a few training camp practices and got an up-close-and-personal view […]
