One Green Bay linebacker and his family showed that they are invested in his team's biggest rivalry, while a former member of the team talks about his free agent odyssey.

In today's cheese curds, we find one of the more amusing stories from a Green Bay Packers draft pick that we've heard in a long time. Linebacker Blake Martinez appears thrilled to be a Packer, and his family also seems thrilled for him - from his mom, who predicted that he would land in Green Bay, all the way through.

This week, they showed their newfound Packers fandom in a special way - by getting rid of the Bears gear that they bought in preparation for the draft in a very specific manner.

Easley's injuries have limited h im in his short NFL career (and even in college), but he finds a landing spot in the great line that the Rams currently have, and should have a chance to play some 3-technique tackle.
