The forecast for the game at Green Bay tomorrow is 0 °F. That's about -18 °C for you people using a more imprecise system. This, by the way, is an improvement. It's about -10 °F (-23 °C) today. Cool and crisp.
Still, it's warmer than some places.
There are enthusiastic Packers fans in even the most remote parts of the planet. Dan Kleist sent the State Journal a photo of his son, Mike Kleist, and his co-workers posing with a Packers flag at the South Pole. Mike Kleist, from Madison, is an electrical engineer with Project IceCube, a program spearheaded by UW-Madison that is building and operating a neutrino observatory in Antarctica. Being a fan at the South Pole means there are some sacrifices, like a slight delay in when Kleist gets to watch the game. A copy of the Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks playoff game on VHS tape arrived Friday.Of course, it's summer there.
Honest game, honestly fought, by all reports.
Is it time for BF to, um, do the thing that starts with "re" and doesn't end in "habilitation"?

He's already done rehab, you know. Alcohol and Vicodin. Strongest painkiller he takes now is Tylenol. (Sometimes I tell myself this when I get a migraine.)
This has been his best season since the mid-90s. The raw material and the ambition are still there, and if he retires, he'll never play again.
