Cheese Curds, 2/24: Sean Richardson hasn't given up on his career

[Da-news-now]

The Packers' safety wants to keep playing despite neck injuries.

The 2016 NFL Scouting Combine has arrived, which is great news for those who enjoy the league's annual underwear Olympics. For those that prefer actual football, the event may not suffice.

Still, there's plenty of discussion surrounding the Green Bay Packers these days, including the future of one of their big(ger) signings from last offseason:

Can't believe they would bring him back. Hope the kid can't find a home for his own sake.

playing devil's advocate here. peyton manning had four neck surgeries - the most recent one in 2011. he has had several productive seasons since then. and he has taken some serious hits over the years since then. a lot of them.
