As one Packer tries to return to the field, the defending NFC North champs try to assert themselves as a true long-term power in the division.
The Green Bay Packers are preparing for the return of numerous players from injured reserve, and one of the most critical is inside linebacker Sam Barrington. The fourth-year player is looking for his first full season as a starter, and his rehab is a topic in today's cheese curds.

Whether they truly have supplanted the Packers as the top team in the North for good is up for debate, at least according to some writers, but a healthy Green Bay squad should at the very least contend for the division title once again.

Well at least we can go back to listening to Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself for Loving You" without hearing "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night." If that's a plus for you, of course.

He’ll never live it down, even though he's tried to distance himself at least somewhat from the film. We're betting that after a big contract, it's not that big a deal for him.
