i remember too getting my Packer Report a week to 10 days after the previous game.  I also remember Ray always getting into it with some fan name Ron Paque every week about the same stuff. Some of those comments were better than the articles that was written.

Those were the days... Packer Report, Sporting News, and Pro Football weekly were great reading. And Now i have not purchased a hand held news paper of any kind  in 25 years.

Man, good memories!  I remember paying extra for first class postage so I could get my Packer Report right before the next game!  Starved for Packers news here in New Jersey in the '70s and '80s.  Depended on my subscriptions to Packer Report, Packer Plus, the Green Bay Press Gazette and Pro Football Weekly.  Got a lot easier starting in the mid-'90s, but before that it was tough sledding!  Loved reading Ray's column, and Floridarob, I do remember that with Ron Paque!

I remember getting Packer Report also.  Canโ€™t remember how long it took to get to Ohio but I enjoyed the articles.  I also remember a fan club I guess you could call it named โ€œAmericaโ€™s Packโ€ that I joined for awhile.  For being a member they would send things like bumper stickers, lapel pin, team photo, and probably a small newspaper maybe.  I remember they had a designated tailgate area at Lambeau and maybe some away games that was pretty good.   Donโ€™t think theyโ€™re around any longer either.  

I also subscribed to the Packer Report in the early and middle '90's.
If memory serves at all, I recall getting it on the Friday or Saturday before the upcoming game initially, then it became sketchy getting it on time, then if you got it on the Monday following the game, if you were lucky. Tuesday or later became the norm eventually.

I would've killed to have have had it in the '70's and '80's, but by the the '90's, it was on life support, as most forms of printed media were becoming.
