Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

OK, Packer fans, these are the times that try men's souls: waiting for training camp to start. If you're getting itchy, camp starts July 28. And -- can you believe it?! -- the first preseason game is less than one month away, on Sat. Aug. 12 against the Bolts in San Diego. A late one for those of us here in the Midwest: 9 p.m. Still, maybe the adrenaline from the first game will keep us up to midnight. In the meantime, if you want to know more about the training camp schedule, click here.

Let's see...what else? Oh, the Packers' shareholders meeting is this Wednesday. Apparently, more than 30,000 tickets have been issued to shareholders for the meeting. Each shareholder is entitled to two, one for themselves and one for a guest. The draw this year is the offer of an exclusive insider's tour of Lambeau Field, including tours of the players locker room. Tours are scheduled for the Tuesday afternoon before the meeting, as well as the afternoon after. At least 20,000 of the 30,000+ tickets issued are expected to show up...well, not that the tickets are expected to show up...what I meant was that...oh, never mind...you know what I mean...and if not, never mind.

And now, time to resume the position: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
