Ha. The Packer Report. I had to write to them and request that they put some kind of wrapper around the newspaper because it was taking so long to get to me. Apparently some sailor or sailors in the fleet post office was a Packer fan and would "borrow" my paper. Anyway, I wrote a letter requesting they send it wrapped, and amazing to hear in this day and age, a human read my letter, and from that day forward I received that paper in a manilla envelope with 1st class postage stamps. I would get it pretty darn quick after that. A fond memory.  (Mail to Naval personnel onboard ships or overseas goes to FPO New York or San Francisco. The Navy takes it from there to wherever you are, amazingly fast, btw.)

McGinn hasn't been a Packer beat writer since 2017.  I too wouldn't put to much stock into this "report" either.  😛

I thought he did better than it seemed, but our team was screwed, until the brought back Matt Flynn later that year to beat Dallas. That game where Sam Shields (?) pulled a Woody move where he baited the QB to throw the ball and then accelerated to pick it off.

Didn't McGinn do something to jinx us which caused Aaron to get hurt?

Did silverstein add anything substantive or did he just say something about the McGinn piece?
