Slidden? Mike's response gave me an early morning chuckle. Well done.

I feel we were one Spoff waking up on the wrong side of the bed away from running a one-submission Inbox yesterday.

Rob from Wilmington, NC

In response to the submission from David from Winchestertonfieldville (/s), the health of every team at this point should give almost every team hope. It's the team whose main players navigate the grueling NFL season with a little luck to avoid injury that will make the biggest difference by season's end. I think we have the coaching and players to win it all now. We just need some luck with the health to match up.

Every team will lose somebody at some point. That's just the nature of the game. The hope is you don't lose too many "somebodies," which is unfortunately what happened with the Packers last year. Hopefully, the worm turns in 2026.

No disrespect to Tucker Kraft as a runner, but there's a difference between running and barreling. Barreling is the one you don't want to see coming at you, and Kraft could be a Packers all-time great. Who else compares?

Prime Eddie Lacy might be the scariest. He could break your ankles and body on the same play. In the modern era, I liked what I saw from Matthew Golden in Chicago. That one play said it all. That speed is legit, but Golden showed he'll throw his shoulder pads into defensive backs, too.

On a recent trip to Nashville, I was in awe at the size of the building that will contain the Titans' new indoor Nissan Stadium. ATMR WCBR I was surprised to learn the planned seating capacity was significantly less (9,000) than the existing Nissan Stadium right next door. I was equally surprised to learn Lambeau currently ranks second in capacity for all stadiums across the NFL. Do you think NFL stadium seating capacity has mostly reached its upper limits with regards to pricing, supply, and demand?

That's an interesting question I hadn't really thought about. I also didn't realize MetLife is the largest stadium in the NFL with a max capacity of 82,500. I would have thought it was AT&T Stadium. I don't think it's a matter of NFL stadium capacity reaching a ceiling but rather owners building multipurpose stadiums to accommodate concerts and large-scale events. For example, Wrestlemania was in Las Vegas this past April. The two nights averaged 53,000 fans in 66,000-seat Allegiant Stadium. It could feel a bit bare if that was 90,000 seats instead. Just a thought.

Paul from Ledgeview, WI

Gents, if Kraft is drafted by any other team, does he still become the player we expect to see this next season? Or was he truly meant to be here where talent and opportunity intersected?

I feel like Kraft is talented enough to succeed anywhere, but I can't see a better fit for his personality and playstyle than Green Bay. The guy was voted team captain after just two NFL seasons. That probably puts him in the running for youngest captain in team history, honestly. Kraft was meant to play in Green Bay and hopefully does for a really, really long time.

Dennis from Parrish, FL

He played at Iowa! Of course he is considered a blocking tight end! Even the move tight ends from Iowa can block. It's what we do bro! Said an Iowa grad, Class of 1985!

Iowa is the original TEU. I was excited about Luke Lachey's addition last month and disappointed when I read reports that he didn't pass the physical. I believe this is the right place for Lachey and his skill set. There's also plenty of opportunity there behind Kraft and Luke Musgrave.

Jeff from Indian Lake, NY

Interesting to hear Lachey described as a blocking TE. During his time at Iowa, Lachey was easily the team's No. 1 receiving option and arguably best offensive player. Perhaps that is more telling of Iowa's offense at the time than of Lachey the player? Wishing him nothing but the best, every team could use a few more Hawkeyes!

I probably painted Lachey into an unnecessary box with that description, but many draftniks felt his in-line blocking could be his strength when Houston drafted him in 2025. To your point, Lachey also caught 74 passes at Iowa and is more in the mold of a Ben Sims than a John FitzPatrick, who had just 17 receptions in three years at Georgia.

Phillip from Wonder Lake, IL

Read that Musgrave got injured in OTA. Anything to be concerned about?

Musgrave was on the sideline last week, so it doesn't appear to be anything major. We'll obviously see during training camp, but the Packers will always err on the side of caution during the offseason program, especially with their veterans. You don't want them aggravating an injury that then bleeds into training camp.

Joseph from The Villages, FL

Hey II, what a great picture of Bryan Nehring. Please pass along my congratulations to Bryan on his upcoming retirement. Bryan and I worked together way back at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse athletic training department. I remember the year he got to "intern" with the Packers, we all thought it was a great gig. Well, 45 years later that gig in fact was a lifelong journey. Couldn't agree with you more on the "character" of the man. Best wishes to you, Bryan, and if ever in Florida…reach out.

Will do.

Brian from Lincolnshire, IL

I didn't realize fantasy football was so controversial. For me, it's another connection to family and friends I don't see or talk to very often. And the small amount of money involved could hardly be considered gambling. I'm still a huge Packer fan, and enjoy the real team rivalries, etc. Fantasy football just gives me another way to enjoy the game.

I don't think we're talking about the same kind of fantasy football, Brian. At least, I'm not. I don't take umbrage with fantasy leagues among family, friends or coworkers. I've been in one for more than 20 years where all the winner gets is a WWE world heavyweight championship belt and bragging rights. My issue is more with the rise of daily fantasy leagues that are nothing more than sports betting with a little more lipstick on it.

Tom from Bismarck, ND

Much of the offseason has been spent trying to convince fans that Lukas Van Ness is ready to fill the void at DE until we get healthy. It now has reached the extreme with coaches and sports writers telling us how he dominated in practices. Early-season practice? Really. No pads and rookies playing out of position and he was "absolutely dominant." We are bending over backwards to try to build up his confidence, it seems. I would have thought getting picked 13th and earning millions would work.

If you don't care to hear our thoughts on OTAs, shall I provide you a list of other hobbies until the opening kickoff in Minnesota, Tom?

William from Dallas, TX

I will bet, figuratively speaking of course, that no team will wager a draft pick on Sorsby. My side bet, again FSOC, is that some team will invite him to try out. Might that be the Packers?

I don't know what to make of that whole situation. Sorsby plays quarterback, so I assume someone will accept the risk that comes with either drafting or signing him. But that team had better believe in Sorsby's ability because he may not have one strike left in his football career.

David from Dayton, OH

Aren't there always new injuries? Am I too pessimistic? It seems like a lot of folks have the mindset that the current injuries will clear up, the whole gang will be back together, and we sail to the Super Bowl. It doesn't seem to ever work quite like that. Is there any such thing as a season where no key players are out of commission down the stretch?

The two healthiest Packers teams I covered were 2014 and 2020 and it's probably no coincidence those also were the two best Packers teams I've covered.

Fredrick from Okatie, SC

If someone is in the NFL Supplemental Draft, do they go through the same amount of rounds? If no one takes a pick in the first round, do they go to a second round and ultimately go through seven rounds? I see value in picking someone up in a seventh round if he goes that far. Giving up a seventh round in next year's draft for a player might be worth it.

Correct. The draft rotates through all 32 teams until the seven rounds are completed. FOX Sports' Greg Auman provided a good summation of how the process works in an X post on Wednesday morning.

Andrew from Milwaukee, WI

How worried should we be about the Sports Broadcasting Act? It seems there is a lot of misinformation out there right now. We need to start educating our fans on this immediately. The city of GB makes less than $15 million a home game. Dallas makes between $70-75 million. Without the money from the eight different streaming services being distributed we lose our team. No team benefits more than GB from this act and repealing it is the beginning of the end for the team as we know it.

I want to be careful how much I say here because the last time I voiced my opinion in this space I was then pull-quoted as a team spokesperson. Everyday readers know my feelings on the matter. If you want to learn more about the SBA and how it relates to the Packers, I highly encourage you to check out Rob Demovsky’s article on ESPN.com and Aaron Nagler’s Packers Daily on CheeseheadTV. Both did an excellent job of thoroughly explaining the situation and why the SBA matters so much to the Packers.

Steve from Ellison Bay, WI

Refund requests? Never! Nothing but gratitude to II. As a friend once said, baseball is fun, Packer football is serious. Still plenty of fun to enjoy. What was your favorite baseball play you saw in person? Mine was the Dwayne Wise catch that defined Mark Buerhle's perfecto in 2009. What a ninth-inning defensive substitution.

It's gotta be sitting three rows behind the Brewers dugout when they put away the Cubs in Game 5 of the NLDS last October – dramatic home runs deciding a win-or-go-home playoff game against an archrival. It just doesn't get better than that.

Davy from Watertown, WI

I hadn't realized until this past week that Antonio Freeman's son has become quite the futbol player in his own right.

It's cool to see Alex Freeman rising through the soccer ranks. The 21-year-old recently transferred from Orlando City in the MLS to Villarreal in La Liga. Now, he's playing in the World Cup with the U.S. men's national team. It's a great story.

Jeffrey from Eveleth, MN

Well gentlemen, I ask the question. Who wins the US Open? I had Brooks Koepka until the hand injury. Now, Tommy Fleetwood. Your thoughts? So, looking forward to the tournament.

I'm pulling for Fleetwood.

Patrick from Murfreesboro, TN

The Pisarcik fumble has another Packers connection. Herm Edwards' improbable TD return of that fumble for the Eagles kept the Packers out of the '78 playoffs. One crazy play helped the Eagles leap ahead of the Packers for the final playoff position and left GB mired in ignominy during its dark decades. Ah, sometimes memory lane has a few potholes, but what a ride it's been since then.

It's always fun to revisit the small butterflies flapping their wings in Packers history. Two points to Spoff, too, for the Lindy Infante tidbit. I had no idea.
