Wednesday i went up to GB to watch the Packers practice.
It's the first time i got to do that in years. It was pretty neat to watch, although not anything special.
I did get to see DD just a few feet away from me.

Got a few autographs after practice, as the players were going home for the day.
Morgan Burnett signed, as did about 10 other players.

But the "stars" pretty much ignored the few of us that were still there.

That was the first time i saw Nitschke field. And yes, it IS really nice! You don't have a fence seperating you from the players. It's alot nicer, and alot better for taking pictures.
I took a roll of film, but have to wait to have it developed.
(Yes, i still have an old "film" camera)

Thank you Cheesey!!

For those of us out of the area it is always great to hear a fan's perspective on practice and not have to just rely on press reports.

Evereybody sees things a little differently and the more eyeballs reporting the better.

Don't apologize for the camera. (I have the same model)

Thanks Cali!
Rodgers threw a few passes, Driver didn't do a whole lot. It was just VERY basic stuff. But that's what the OTA's are for. Getting the feet wet for the new guys, and checking the "old" guys to make sure they are keeping in shape.

I got to go up to the last OTA that was open to the public.
I got "chastized" for taking video of it by an Packer official.

You'd think they would have signs up saying you couldn't do it. Anyway....i didn't really care, as by the time i got "caught" i had already filmed plenty of what i wanted!

Waited to try to get autographs.....out comes Donald Driver......as he drives out of the player parking lot, i hold up the picture i took of him at practice in 2005, and say "PLEASE Donald! PLEASE sign this for me!!!" There were about 10 of us waiting there, and he pulls over and rolls the window down and signs for us!
Pretty neat!
People that were waiting on the other side of the lot tried to run over by us, but he was gone by the time they got over to us.
It was pretty cool that he stopped for us. Not many "star" players do that.

When he came out, the crowd on the other side didn't see him. So we were like "Hurry up and drive out, before the huge throng comes running over here!" There was a guy putting something in the back of DD's Cadilac SUV. It was wrapped in a blanket. So we asked DD what it was......it was the "mirror ball" trophy! LOL!
