What About That "Not-So-Special" Team?

 Those of us who follow the Green & Gold were not doubt aghast by the pitiful performance Monday night at Lambeau Field

Who the hell is coaching the Special Teams, anyway? The Keystone Cops?? Thought the Packers could drop no farther into the depths of mediocrity after watching the Not-So-Special Teams week after week.

Thought wrong.

Head Coach Matt Lafleur and his staff had better get things sorted out and soon with the group. This area is clearly the Achilles Heel of the Pack and could doom them in a Super Bowl Run.

Looking for thoughts on last minute Christmas gifts for the sports minded? Here's a couple of suggestions.

* The Baseball 100 by Joe Posnanski. It's a great read for a baseball fan! Filled with information, stories and facts, this 800-plus page effort deals with greats you've heard of and players you only wish you had seem in person.

* The Greatest Story in Sports: Green Bay Packer 1919-2019 by Cliff Christl. A massive four-volume set feature history, stories and photos of the Green and Gold. I've know Cliff since the early 1970s when our paths crossed covering high school sports in the Fox Valley. Another UW-O grad, he's been the go-to historian voice for the Packers for several years, following in the footsteps of longtime public relations man, Lee Remmel.

Saw that Covid continues to rear it's ugly head in both the NFL and the NBA. No surprise there. Think this is with us for a long, long time.
