Last night on the Sports Page on 104.1 FM WRLU, I had the opportunity to talk with the Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol girl's swim coach Mike McHugh. The team finished in the top ten in the state swim meet earlier this month and placed seven individuals. Coach McHugh said he was happy with his teams season but is looking for bigger and better things in 2008.

The Green Bay Packer wide receivers and defensive linemen have made post game interviews in the locker room much more enjoyable this season. A constant smile, a positive outlook and the occasional joke are a sign of the times. Green Bay is (8-1) and loving life atop the NFC standings.
This year's team is more jovial than any team in the past five seasons. Surprisingly, it is not Brett Favre leading the practical jokes and pranks in the locker room. The West corner of the locker room belongs to the defensive linemen. There is always a lot of chatter going on in this area.
On the north side of the room, sits the wide receivers lockers. James Jones, Greg Jennings and Donald Driver all sit next to each other. After Sunday's win over the Vikings, James Jones decided to start auditioning for his post-football career. He stepped in on an interview of Jennings and asked a few questions of his own.

Jones was holding his cell phone to his mouth while asking the questions and extending his pretend microphone to Jennings for his answers.
The Packers have a lot to be happy about this season. The team is gelling, no one is fighting at practice and a frown is rare at 1265 Lombardi Avenue this season.
