appealing bay fact franchise gave good green knowing last national playing popular ratings scheduling shows speaks three year
I think the fact they were scheduling without knowing if Brett Favre is going to be back, and they still gave us three national games, shows you the Green Bay Packers are still an appealing draw. The ratings were good last year even when we weren't playing well. I think it speaks well for us (considering) where we are. I think it's still a popular franchise and we still get ratings.
franchise men raised
Those men established and raised this franchise to new heights.
reality years faces
You have to face reality, and coming off 4-12, you're not going to be the national draw you were previously. But for 13 years, we were a pretty good draw.
