I suppose one reason is they'll never land a SB 

U ready for all the Packer slobbering this week?

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

One and done. The village of Green Bay isn’t built to host an event of this size.

It's the power of pandering to nostalgiabation (a term my son created).

They throw an occasional bone to the "home of the Lombardi", then can stay away for a decade or more.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

I like the idea that the draft is traveling now. I'm sure it will find its way to Denver at some point, but as big a draft nut as I am, I have zero interest in ever attending one.

Agree on both! 

Brilliant to move it around and I would never attend one

What? You don’t want to be shoulder to shoulder with some beer swilling idiot ragging about the bust we drafted in the 5th round?

Yup. Hard pass.

Green Bay doesn't have enough hotel rooms to handle a game let alone the draft. They do have a Old Country Buffet so there is that.

Rain in the forecast for Thursday and Friday and cool. Can't wait to see those LA reporters squirming in their winter coats!
