Clipton from Pasadena, CA

Why do all the Packers Daily videos seem to clock in at 1 minute, 55 seconds.

High side of caution. Like USPS, my rate increases at 2 minutes.

Were both punters holding for FG and extra points? Was anyone else on the team holding for kicks?

Both Pat O’Donnell and Daniel Whelan held on field goals, but only Broughton Hatcher was snapping during minicamp. Matt Orzech was excused for the birth of his child.

Speaking of the quirks of kicking inside Lambeau Field, do they do any kicking there during OTAs?

Not in front of the media. The field-goal posts are up inside Lambeau, so it’s possible Anders Carlson has poked around in there. I didn’t ask him, though.

I know sites need content, but there’s absolutely nothing to be gained by redrafting a draft from a few years ago in hindsight. Sure, if the GMs knew then what we know now, they’d draft differently. So, what’s the point? It’s like trying to blame someone for 1970s fashion. Those checked, flare-legged polyester pants wouldn’t be my choice today, but I rocked them back then. Everyone knows.

I agree with everything Spoff said, but you were wrong about one thing – not all 1970s fashion was bad. Bart Starr’s gameday fits were very strong. This is not talked about enough. His suits stood the test of time. Mrs. Cherry had her husband looking good.

Will the players continue their workout regimen leading up to training camp?

If they want to be here in September, they will. This summer break provides a chance for players to mentally reset before the real grind begins, but there are still expectations to stay in shape and be ready for camp.

Longtime reader but not-very-often submitter. The recent discussion on K-balls made me wonder what happens to used game balls. Does the NFL or home team ever offer them to charities to be auctioned off?

It seems I’ve been getting this question a lot lately and I honestly don’t know. I know the Packers donate a lot of cleats and equipment to youth football programs every season. I’m not sure what happens with the footballs. Maybe they’re saved for practice?

Football agents get 3%? What a bargain! I just sold a house and the realtor got 6%.

And it’s often less than that. Three percent is the max on player contracts.

Derek from Eau Claire, WI

I look at our WR room as cutting back some old growth on a tree so the new branches can emerge. What’s your metaphor of choice?

I don’t know if I can outdo that one, Derek. That was solid. I just look at those three young receivers as seedlings in a garden. We knew this is the direction Green Bay was headed. Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Samori Toure all took root last year, and they still have more room to grow. But this is their opportunity to show how far they’ve come and hint at where their promise is headed.

Arthur from Eau Claire, WI

A question on the quirks of Lambeau as for kicking. Are the new scoreboards going to be big enough to affect wind patterns on the field level that may (will) cause punting and kicking challenges that the Packers’ kickers haven’t faced before? Just curious.

I don’t think so. While the digital videoboard is larger, the entire scoreboard is still the same height and width as the previous one.

Etienne from Saint Joachim de Tourelle, Canada

I got into football after my mom got me a Raiders long-sleeved shirt from the Sears catalogue. I think it was a Bo Jackson one but could have been anonymous, too. I am not too sure. My grandmother got for us a walnut tree out of the Sears catalogue back in 1983. That tree aged pretty well actually.

Kids these days don’t realize how difficult it used to be to get branded sports apparel. Even 20 years ago, I remember buying a Glenn Robinson jersey at JCPenney and thinking I’d struck gold.

Van Ness’ love of hockey has me wondering. What NHL team do Wisconsin hockey fans follow? For Packers fans in the U.P., it’s easy to follow the Red Wings but I can’t see Wisconsin Packers fans cheering alongside Blackhawks or Wild fans.

Some Wisconsinites cheer for the Blackhawks but I have a few friends who like the Nashville Predators because of their affiliation with the Milwaukee Admirals.

Bob from Fredericksburg, VA

Thanks for all you do. It’s always a nice break in my morning when I can touch base with the mothership and connect with my brethren. I wonder if you guys ever tire of non-Packer related subjects, especially during “dead zone”? That being said, how ’bout them Reds?

Not at all. I’m just not going to answer Brewers questions if I know nothing about the Brewers…or Reds.

If you could get any new food option offered at Lambeau, what would it be and why?

Booyah. Need I explain why?

Good morning, Wes. How many questions do I need to have answered before I can put “Published Author” on my resume?

If Rob Demovsky can have an IMDb page, this should pretty much do it.

If I understand correctly, in response to Dan from Maquoketa, Spoff says nothing tastes better than a free sub. If it’s free, it’s for me.

They don’t call him “Half-Off” Spoff for nothing. OK, I’m done. I’m never gonna outdo that one.

Hi Spoff! People are talking on Twitter about the putt heard round the world. Is it true that you had the greatest putt of all time at the department golf outing?

I’ll leave that fish tale for Spoff’s Friday column. Have a great day, everyone.
