Because he won't post it in a movie thread.

The Packers also have announced that players will report for training camp on Wednesday, July 29, with the first training camp practice slated for Thursday, July 30.
liar... I read it it on the interweb....
Oh, Honey Boo Boo was real. You can't make that **** up.
OTA's are underway in Titletown...
Is this version of the Green & Gold considered Team 95 or Team 96 ?
Seriously, the league year began in March, so the new Packer team began in March too.

Team '10
FYI - ....Team 95 isn't a reference to 1995
Packer Teams are numbered from the beginning of the franchise ( 1919 or 1921 or...?) and each one is different. MM tries to come up with a new mantra for each season, but they all get a sequential number.
I just don't know what year is the official beginning of the best franchise on earth
The Packers 75th anniversary was in 1993.
If my calculation is correct, that would make this year's team (2015) the 97th.
However, that would mean the first team was in 1918, and I don't think that is correct.
Or am I missing something?
Packers were admitted to the American Professional Football Association (now the NFL) on Aug. 27, 1921, they had already started practicing with many of the same local players they used in 1919 and â20.

Team 93 was in 2013, so this is Team 95 in Packers history
The JSO's Tyler Dunne with a nice snapshot of things to look for in OTAs.
From today's session, just starting.
@WesHod: Jared Abbrederis and Don Barclay out here with helmets. Barclay wearing a brace on right knee.
@WesHod: Jordy Nelson, who had hip surgery this offseason, is stretching with receivers during warmups.
@RobDemovsky: All the
#Packers' ACL guys, including WR Jared Abbrederis (below) OL Don Barclay and OLB Andy Mulumba, are working.
@RobDemovsky: Casey Hayward, Nick Perry and Mike Neal are not practicing. Nor is Julius Peppers, who is apparently ill but here.
@RobDemovsky: Our first look at top pick @RandallTime, working with CB coach Joe Whitt.
@RobDemovsky: Clay Matthews working with the inside linebackers so far early in practice.
#Packers
Neal and Perry are shockingly not practicing today
7:15 to go in the 4th and the D is throwing a shutout.
WTF is up with the offense though?
Need to get that fixed.
@WesHod: Practice report...Hayward, Perry, Neal, Boyd watching. Peppers (ill), Montgomery (NFLPA) and Hundley (NFLPA) not here.
@WesHod: Abbrederis, Hyde, Rollins and Cobb fielding punts.
@TyDunne: Cobb, Abbrederis, Hyde, Rollins on PR. Rollins didn't return at Miami (Ohio) but his position coach said he was best returner on the team.
Neal and Perry are shockingly not practicing today
Maybe they're just using the restroom
Completely not surprised. Wonder how Clay feels about that?
He should feel fine about it. His stats including tackles for loss and sacks went way up when he switched.
None of the ACL guys -- Abbrederis, Barclay and Mulumba -- are doing 11 on 11. But Raji is.
Per Paul Imig the ILB rotation today:
Starters - Matthews & Barrington
2nd - Jake Ryan, Carl Bradford
3rd - Joe Thomas, Nate Palmer
4th - Dantzler, Francis
Wonder how Clay feels about that?
He's happy to show the youngsters how its done...
and to keep the spot warm till they get up to speed
Agreed, I expect either Bradford or Ryan to show enough to get the nod in the middle so they can move Clay back outside.
Personally I think they will keep moving him around the formation even if they fill the inside positions. This is MM, today:
@ByRyanWood: MM on Clay Matthews: "He's a great pass rusher, and he's going to continue to play as many different positions as we can get out of him."
JSO recap of MM presser, after practice:

Green Bay --- Highlights from coach Mike McCarthy's Thursday news conference...
On three players back from ACL's... All the guys are in the category of working out, have done really well. Since March, those guys haven't missed a beat. Feel good about the progress those guys are making. No long-term [medical] concerns with anybody on the roster.
On everyone being back... It's been a good two days. This is a fun time of year. Everybody likes to be back. The reality is -- felt good today, felt good yesterday --- but you see film and have to teach team how to practice. Felt good about Phase 2 and the work we were able to get done. Young guys picking it up. And now, we're in the phase of putting it on the field. Mental errors are high. We need to learn how to practice. We have new coaches working different combinations. We spent a whole off-season making improvements throughout our program. We're just starting. It's great to be out there but we have a lot of work to do.
On spending more time with defense and special teams as HC... I enjoy coaching. Coaching is still coaching, regardless of what position. As long as you're around the players, coaching, that's where I want to be. This has been a fun year for me, to be in there with the defense, be in there with the special teams. It's been great.
On Ron Zook's impact... Just like every coordinator, Ron Zook is an accomplished coach. You want your unit to take on your personality, but most importantly buy into fundamentals and techniques. Ron's an excellent teacher, has tremendous energy, when players got back we didn't think there was a lot we needed to change in how we operated and playbook. But there's a lot of little adjustments. We're off to a very good start. We've spent a lot of time on special teams in Phase 2, more than we've done in the past.
On Rodgers in OTA... He loves football. He's in a comfortable place on the football field. The guy loves to compete, a great player, but also a great teacher. He's a big part in how we run our offense. This offense is about making the quarterback successful. A huge part in how we operate on offense. Have had a chance to go through installs, will continue to make tweaks. We have a very good veteran base here, probably the best veteran base for our football team.
On getting everybody here for OTA's... It's a big part of our program, a big part of our success. This is something we've been doing a number of years. My first year, have 80% of people here and would do roll call with the media. The off-season program is very important. The players know how important it is. They know they're going to get better. Our facilities are phenomenal, will put it up against any facility in country. Great organization gives us those resources and the players know that.
On why it could be best veteran base... The experience, the people, the way we operate. Our group interaction, I don't know if it could get any higher. Position groups are together a lot. Not as individualized at this point. We're challenging the older guys to bring the younger guys up. It's finding as many different ways to motivate.
On Clay Matthews at inside linebacker... Clay Matthews is a great pass rusher. He's going to continue to play as many different positions as we can get out of him. We need to utilize him as much as we can. ... Talked to Clay a couple times early in off-season program and meetings he's been through. He's moving around.
On Nick Perry playing through shoulder injury last year... The way people are represented away from work opposed to at work is different. Nick Perry is a tough, physical football player. What he played through last year was significant. That says a lot about him. The guys who practice against him, the guys who are in the locker room with him every day have a lot of respect for him.
Love these comments.
McCarthy on his new role: "This has been a fun year for me, being in there with the defense, in there with the special teams." #Packers
