Packers' news...

Packers' free agent defensive end Johnny Jolly has been cleared to resume his career,after a severe neck injury(and surgery),by his doctors,but folks,i may have some bad news,because the Packers' training staff,and doctors is one of the most conservative in the NFL,and even though,the Packers do not rule out Jolly from returning,my money is on the fact that he may not return to the Packers... if he does not return to the Green and Gold,i will cheer for him the first time that he plays the Packers,and do wish my heartfelt hat tip,as he resumes his NFL career,if some NFL team gives him their okay to join their roster...

O'Day's concert was televised,but was not released on an album,until 2007,and i have a copy of that concert,on CD...
