Quoted @ByAndrewWagner
Hank Aaron often told the story about how he ended up in Milwaukee: while playing for the Indianapolis Clowns, the Braves (then in Boston) and NY Giants sent him contracts via telegram. The Braves’ offer was for $50 more and that sealed the deal.
Some good historical stuff here on Hank Aaron’s early career with the Milwaukee Braves.

Bucs S Antoine Winfield must have been hurt late in Thursday's practice. He's questionable.

Rare footage of Hank Aaron launching a home run off of Don Larsen during the 1957 World Series!
Replying to @BAndersonPxP: Never left the box. Btw, called by the great Mel Allen.
Replying to @NFLSTROUD: #GoBucs will activate DT Vita Vea for Sunday's NFC Championship game.
Replying to @gregauman: Bruce Arians says Antonio Brown is out and will not play vs. Packers on Sunday.

I had two sports heroes in Wisconsin growing up — Bart Starr and Hank Aaron. Both were great players ... and even better human beings. Now they’re both gone. RIP to Hammerin’ Hank, the best there ever was.
Another great one gone. Henry Aaron was a wonderful human being & the greatest power hitter of all time, & somehow the most undervalued. He & Clemente my idols. Loved him since I was a boy of 8 in Madison in 1957 when he led the Braves to the championship against the Yanks.

Here's my column on the story behind the story of Aaron Rodgers' green room experience at the 2005 draft. It was a train wreck that could have been avoided (I tried).
(The column also includes a personal update on my health)
Great behind the scenes look at Aaron Rodgers’ draft-night slide to the #Packers from the incomparable @Gil_Brandt. Hope the rehab is going good well, Gil.

‘I hugged him, and I told him I loved him:’ How Aaron Rodgers said goodbye to Ted Thompson last year
#Packers say final good-byes to former GM Ted Thompson. Story from @jasonjwilde.

Tom Oates:Ted Thompson didn't speak often, but his accomplishments speak volumes
Column: Not everyone agreed with his approach, but former #Packers GM Ted Thompson, who passed away Wednesday at 68, left behind a legacy of winning.

Can confirm USA Today report that UCF's Danny White will be the next AD at Tennessee. They made him an offer he couldn't refuse. He's expected to start searching for a coach immediately. His hires of Scott Frost, Josh Heupel, Lance Leipold, Nate Oats and Bobby Hurley stood out.
Coach Matt LaFleur said veteran CB Tramon Williams is in the building and likely will start his third stint with #Packers on practice squad (assuming he passes protocols). What a great late-season insurance policy to have a consummate pro like @HighRizer22 back in the fold.
Replying to @jasonjwilde: I hope in death Ted Thompson will be appreciated more than he was all to often in life by some. This @WiStateJournal story…
RIP, Ted Thompson. He wasn’t very forthcoming with information, but he was always a gentleman and a good guy to talk to away from microphones and cameras. He built one Super Bowl champion and had a big hand in building what might be another one in a few weeks. #Packers
I hope in death Ted Thompson will be appreciated more than he was all to often in life by some. This @WiStateJournal story was one I have always cherished, because Ted did something for me he rarely did: He let me in a little bit. I am very sad today.
Quoted @JJWatt
I’ll never forget lining up for a play and Phil pointing to one of our linebackers and telling him he was lined up wrong based off the blitz we were about to run and being 100% correct about it haha.
One of the smartest I’ve ever played against and a hell of a competitor.
Love this story.
Quoted @Haudricourt
Received some very distressing news. Longtime Sentinel/Journal Sentinel sports writer/columnist Bud Lea passed away this morning. A legendary sports journalist in these parts and an absolute expert on the Packers. He remained a good friend to me. RIP, Bud. Will have story coming.
RIP, Bud Lea. Even though we worked for rival newspapers, he was always a friend and mentor to me. Our chats had become less frequent in recent years due to his health issues, but I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. You’ll be missed, Bud.
OK, #Packers fans, who do you want next week, Saints or Bucs? And why?
Quoted @WiStateJournal
Fueled by homefield — and home-fan — advantage, Packers beat Rams to advance to NFC Championship game via @WiStateJournal
Home-field and home-fan advantage helps #Packers roll over Rams and promises more of the same next week. Game story from @jasonjwilde.

Tom Oates: Packers' drubbing of Rams proves offense capable of carrying Green Bay to Super Bowl glory
Column: If offense wins championships these days, #Packers are in great shape as they head to NFC Championship Game.
