Since I'm in VA, I won't be there Mon, but for anyone interested and available:

Green Bay Packers fans can join a team send-off at 11:45 a.m. Monday at the Mills Fleet Farm Gate at Lambeau Field, and see the team return a week later from the Super Bowl in Arlington, Texas. If they defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers, a victory celebration will be held at Lambeau Field on Feb. 8.

Team President and CEO Mark Murphy and Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt will speak to fans Monday before the team buses leave for Austin Straubel International Airport in Ashwaubenon. The buses will go directly to the charter flight, so there will be no opportunity for a send-off at the airport.

The team will return on Feb. 7, probably between 2 and 3 p.m. Police will secure the return route from the airport to Lambeau Field to allow fans to greet them. The route will be Packerland Drive to Hazelwood Lane and Lombardi Avenue to the field. The team will make no other public appearance that day.

If the Packers return as NFL champions, a "Return to Titletown" celebration will be held from 4-5 p.m. Feb. 8 in Lambeau Field. Gates will open at 2 p.m. Tickets will be $5 each and go on sale Feb. 7 at 9 a.m. through Ticketmaster outlets only. They may be bought in person, by telephone at (800) 745-3000 or online at ticketmaster .com.

Tickets are limited to 20 per order, and normal Ticketmaster fees apply.

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Green Bay Packers Foundation.

Parking will be free.

Since I'm in VA, I won't be picking up the signs, either.

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
