In a nutshell, it will go something like this:

Monday(1/24) and Tuesday(1/25):
Day of rest to take care of tickets and travel arrangements and the like for family and other Super Bowl guests.

Like a Monday, the day after the game, with film study and some meetings. That’s the day everything gets back to football.

Another day of rest

Fashion statement
The Packers’ offensive linemen and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have received plenty of publicity for their little dress-up stunt back in the summer at the annual welcome-back luncheon. They sported cowboy clothing and hats to signify their goal of ending the season in Dallas, Texas, playing in the Super Bowl.

But now they may have some teammates looking to one-up them at some point in the near future.

“I think the D-line has something up our sleeve for this trip,” warned nose tackle B.J. Raji.

Please don't. Whatever it is will get blown out of proportion. Just go down there, get the freakin trophy back and then go ahead and do whatever the heck you want. There's also a paragraph about Matthews and an endorsement he has in the works.

Is there anybody particularly you can call upon for advice for how to handle these next couple of weeks?
Not really. A lot of those conversations really have already gone on. This is something personally that I've been preparing for. I've always had the schedule in place what I would do when we got to this point. You always need to adjust it based on the health of your team or something that changes that's out of your control. So a lot of those conversations have already taken place.

You talked about a plan for Super Bowl week in advance. How far are we talking?
I don't know. Quite some time. I mean, I was in the position in '07 to prepare for a Super Bowl ahead of time. So for a number of years.

Do you use this week to fit in all your game-planning, or are you someone who maybe saves a little bit?
Oh no. We'll be ready to play. When we get on the plane Monday we'll be ready to play the game. This will be a normal week for us. continue

One area I'd trust MM more than any other is preparation and organization. When he's done with football I'm near certain he'll be able to make a pretty penny on a speaking tour.
