Family Night is tonight, after which all eyes should be on Canton for Saturday’s Hall of Fame Enshrinement. It’s finally time for LeRoy Butler to get his long-awaited bust on the Pro Football Hall of Fame. On Saturday, Butler will formally be enshrined into the Hall, the latest member of the Green Bay Packers organization to earn the sport’s highest individual honor.

It has been a long road for Butler to get here, and he has seen too many players at his position enshrined ahead of him over the past few years. But all that will be forgotten on Saturday, when Butler leads off this year’s enshrinement ceremony. The ceremony itself is scheduled to begin at 12 noon Eastern Time and will be televised live on ESPN.

Before that, however, the current members of the Packers get their first experience of the 2022 football season at Lambeau Field this evening at Family Night. Click here for details on how to watch if you can’t attend (with apologies to those of us who live outside of Wisconsin and the broader Packers TV Network broadcast area).

How Green Bay Packers LeRoy Butler found out he was in Hall of Fame | Packersnews.com There are several fun videos posted here of a Zoom session between Butler and beat writer Tom Silverstein talking about his impending induction in Canton.

What's behind the number? 15 rookies explain why they chose their NFL uniform number | ESPN Christian Watson's reason for picking number 9? Well, he was initially assigned 82 before asking what else was available, and 9 was just about the only number that was plausible in the single-digits or teens.

Aaron Rodgers, Matt LaFleur thrilled with A.J. Dillon’s development in passing game | Packers Wire Dillon was much higher in receiving efficiency last season than Aaron Jones, ranking 6th among running backs compared to Jones' 16th-place mark. He also had more explosive plays through the air (three catches of 20-plus yards) than on the ground (just two carries over 20).

Pretty happy for LeRoy Butler. What's the story about the Cowboys and 49ers almost picked him? I heard some of it yesterday, but missed most of it. Something about his sister was on the phone so 49ers couldn't get through so they picked someone else?

Rodgers has at least two: the one shown in the video vs the Vikings and one from his first game as a starter in 2008 (also against the Vikings).

Butler SHOULD have been inducted several years ago. But at least he didn't have to wait as many years as Jerry Kramer did.

Zero2Cool (19m) : That gives them their best chance

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Cowboys starting Trey Lance at QB vs Commanders; GB vs Philly in the Wild Card incoming!

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Stinks for Lloyd. Hoping he comes back strong for next year

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
