We all have seen how much players who like to make it rain end up contributing to their teams' success. Don't players have curfews during the season anyway?

I have partied in some of the best Cities in the country, Milwaukee, Dallas, LA, Denver, San Antonio, Chicago, Miami, Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, Boston, Atlanta, and New Orleans...

Granted there are more choices in some of this cities and my experience was generally limited to a couple of days when I was in town for business.. but going to college in Green Bay I can tell you the nightlife there isn't terrible compared to some of these other places. Plus you don't have as much concern about running into serious trouble like being robbed, beaten or worse.

Then factor in the Packer players are treated like Rock Stars in Green Bay, I don't buy that it is a huge factor. When Edgar Bennett was in for service on his truck in Gandrud, we spoke about living in Green Bay as a Packer... he absolutely loved it. Albeit, he did say that sometimes he just wanted to get lost, because everywhere he went he was recognized.. but that was his only negative comment.

Barring a dramatic change, Julius Peppers isn't going anywhere. It's draft day, and Peppers, a Pro Bowl defensive end, is still a member of the Carolina Panthers, albeit as a franchise free agent. No trade is in sight and the team is moving forward with plans that he'll be back next season. Neither the New England Patriots nor the Philadelphia Eagles, two teams Peppers was interested in playing for, have shown a willingness to surrender the mega-trade package necessary to acquire him from Carolina and give him a top-market contract. Since Peppers hasn't signed the tender offer he received from the Panthers when they franchised him, they can't trade him under rules of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement.
