Musings from Brian J. Noggle

This is the one of three books I got this Christmas, and it’s the first I “read.” I put that in quotation marks because it’s a picture book, or at least a book of pictures with captions. It chronicles the history of the Green Bay Packers and the different eras within the organization and serves as well as a bit of history of the NFL. If you’ve been a recent (relatively) active Packers fan (as opposed to a dormant Packers fan, which is someone born in Wisconsin or the UP of Michigan who does not follow football), you know of the names Lambeau, Hornung, Hutson, and so on. This book puts faces to the names and puts the names in their appropriate historical context.

Also, it’s a book you can skim in three hours while watching a Packers game. As nature intended it!

If you’re going to the sold-out scrimmage at Lambeau Field tonight, be advised that WISN is reporting that:

• Hotel rooms are booked as far away as Oshkosh.

• Green Bay has begun closing some roads for safety’s sake.
• As of 11:00 am, the tailgating has begun in the parking lots.

If you cannot make the game, rest assured it will be on television this evening.

For a scrimmage.

Well, not just a srimmage. A Packers scrimmage.
