Minnesota's general manager thinks the Bears and Lions could factor into next season's NFC North title competition.
While Tex gallivants around Indianapolis like a king, the rest of us at Acme Packing Company have to mine the internet for worthwhile content. Given the time of year, that is no easy task.

One of the weirder stories from last offseason was New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre Paul's fireworks incident and the medical record leak that followed.
