How can the Packers improve this year as a team? In your answer you wrote, “Be as good as last year’s team; that’ll be good enough. And then finish.” First, how could you possibly be satisfied with a team that isn’t constantly striving to improve? Good enough isn’t! You can always get better. Every player, every coach, every columnist and every guy who sells popcorn should have a goal to improve every single day. If they do this, they have strengthened their chances of finishing. If they don’t, finishing is a matter of luck. Alen wrote a question that sincerely and reasonably asked for your opinion on a topic within your area of expertise. Your answer looks as though you were unable to think of a way the Packers can improve, or didn’t want to take the trouble of providing a clear analysis. I enjoy the column and your wit, but this response was humorless and lazy and not consistent with your usual excellence. Thank you.
Little nervous, huh?
