With today being Memorial Day I wanted to start off by remembering all who have lost their lives defending this country.

Because of the heroic sacrifice of those men and women we get to enjoy the freedom that we have today in the USA. 

Over the weekend there were pictures and videos floating around of Jordan Love and a few other Packers players enjoying their weekend.

I’ll share some of the best that I saw. 

Jordan Love and AJ Dillon Catch Christian Watson Sleeping

Christian Watson now knows that it is not safe to fall asleep around AJ Dillon. You will end up on his IG story. 

Chilling on a boat

Here we have a picture marked up by doodoopistolz on reddit. Jordan Love, Christian Watson, and AJ Dillon enjoying some time out on a boat. 

It feels like this team has something special brewing. I don’t remember much like this floating around the interwebs last off-season.

Recently the Packers signed safety Jonathan Owens who just so happens to be the husband of Simone Biles. Even though Christian Watson tripped, he still got the win. That a boy Christian. The fact that Biles is 4’8 and Watson is 6’4 probably gives Watson a slight advantage.

To end it off here we have AJ Dillon, Josiah Deguara, and Jordan Love jumping off the boat posted by gdillon2 on instagram who I assume is AJ Dillon’s wife. 

This team is going to be so fun to watch in 2023!

Over the years Aaron Rodgers mentioned that oftentimes their best teams were the teams that had the tightest bonds in the locker room. Jordan Love is building those relationships with many of his fellow teammates. There’s no doubt that building that off field bond translates to a greater trust on the field. 

The Packers now have one of the youngest teams they’ve had in years. Things have changed in a big way with Aaron Rodgers and a handful of the older veterans leaving this off-season. This new team has to discover their identity and it looks like they’re well on their way to building that chemistry. Go pack gooooo

Aaron Rodgers Dancing At Taylor Swift Concert

If I’m honest I do miss covering Aaron Rodgers. Now that he’s on the Jets I don’t have much to say considering he’s no longer here in Green Bay. But today I thought I’d share something I saw over the weekend. Here we have Aaron Rodgers dancing at a Taylor Swift concert over the weekend😂

It looks to me like Rodgers is really enjoying his new life in New York. I’m really happy for him. Of course I was sad to see him go, but sometimes it’s time for something new in life. 

DeAndre Hopkins Released By Cardinals

On Friday news came out that the Cardinals released DeAndre Hopkins. The Cardinals are in rebuild mode and decided to take a huge dead cap hit by releasing Hopkins and clear up money for future years.

There was debate as to whether they’d be able to find a trade partner, but it looks like no team was willing to trade away capital because of the massive contract they had to take on. 

Right now the Chiefs and Bills have the highest odds of signing Hopkins. My guess is he’d love to sign with a super bowl contender and take their team over the top. He’s now 30 years old but he’s still one of the best receivers in the game.
