This is the Pack a Day podcast.

What's going on Packer fans?

Welcome into another edition of the Packaday podcast.

0:32.9

I, of course, and one of your co-host, Matt Frailich, alongside me, as always, Eli Berkowitz, heading back home after being down in Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl.

1:15.2

We'll get to all of the things he saw, people he interacted with, and people he got to, you know, rub elbows with down in Mobile, Alabama for the week during practices. A lot of good stuff on Eli's Twitter timeline. If you haven't already checked that out, also has a new article up on Packer Report. So definitely go head over to his Twitter page. We'll obviously plug those towards the end of the show and throughout. But we will get to that at some point in the lighter half of the show. So if you want to scrub pass, you don't really care about the news and notes going around the Packers sphere or the NFC North, feel free to scrub to that section of the Senior Bowl where we'll break some stuff down that Eli saw. But, Eli, we do got to get to some relevant information. This is the time of the year where we're very, very thankful. There's a Friday's news dump and no more cliche Friday news dump from the Green Bay Packers than saying they extended Matt Lafleur, Brian

Goudy and Russ Ball under the Ed Policy reign, assuming that they're all tied together

1:48.0

for the foreseeable future. So your reaction to that and I guess good note going into the

1:53.9

Friday weekend. Yeah, it is nice when, I mean, we've done plenty of these offseason Friday

2:00.7

podcast where it's like like all right uh let's

2:03.7

talk about you know players favorite colors because it's like we don't know we don't got anything going on

2:09.0

but i feel like we've had a couple weeks of some friday news which is nice and yeah like you said

2:13.8

i mean it's not i guess news news because we all kind of expected this to come,

2:22.9

but now they made it official. And look, you know, I think over the last few weeks, I have, you have, I'm sure Jen has made our opinions known about whether it's LaFleur or Goody, whatever.

2:30.0

I think Russ Ball is likely the most deserving of an extension potentially.
