MMQB in Green Bay

Peter King's MMQB crew spent last week in GB and wrote a bunch of stories on various things. Some of it is pretty interesting.

There's an article on bow hunting with Brett Hundley, Treveor Davis buying his first winter coat, an article by Andrew Brandt on his time in GB (many thought he would be named Packers president a few years ago), an article on the Packers heritage trail, an article on getting the turf game ready and a few more articles.

Davis: “I knew I should get a jacket. North Face seems to be a popular brand. I’ve heard of parkas, or something like that. I don't really know what a parka is. I think that’s the thing with furs on the hood? Is that what makes a parka a parka?”

“He’s turned into a brother,” Hundley says of Rodgers. “I say I love him because I really do. He’s the big brother and teacher I never really had. I ask 10 million questions and get 10 million answers. He’s somebody who’s open-minded enough to understand that I’m just learning. I can ask anything about football, life, and get a real answer.

I ask if Rodgers’ relationship with Packers legend Brett Favre early in Green Bay, when Rodgers was drafted to play much the same role Hundley plays now (albeit four rounds earlier), factors into the way Rodgers treats his backup.

“He learned a lot from Brett,” Hundley says, “but I think there are things he wanted to change about how it was for him when he first got here. He took an understanding to why I’m asking questions and not resenting me, because he probably doesn’t want anybody to feel what he may have felt when he started.”

I hope he gets a down jacket. If you don't have a down jacket up here, you're just screwing around.

You'll have to read the article to see what he ended up buying :)
