Photojournal from Packer win

If you want to relive some of the finer moments of the Packers demolishing of Da Bearz, check out this "Along the Lines" slideshow by Green Bay Press-Gazette photojournalist, Evan Siegle. You also get his commentary about some of the shots, the game, and insights into what it must be like to be a sports photographer on the football field. Very cool, and some great pix.

Vote early, vote often
Yes, that tried and true strategy (another gift from Chicago) is nowhere more true than in the Pro Bowl balloting. If you haven't yet cast your votes for your favorite Packers -- which would be all of them, right? -- just click here to go to the official site.

And since Ryan Grant ran all over Da Bearz to the tune of 145 yards, he's one of the nominees for this week's FedEx NFL Ground Player of the Week. Cast your vote for him here.

Head Coach Mike McCarthy is also a nominee for this week's Motorola Coach of the Week honor. Who's he up against? Eric Mangini and Mike Singletary. C'mon...no contest. Vote here.

And last but not least, be sure to vote for this year's inductee into the Packers Fan Hall of Fame. Go here for more.

Do YOU belong in the Packers Hall of Fame?

Well, not THE Packers Hall of Fame. That's for the player greats only, of course. We're talking about the Packers FAN Hall of Fame. The Packers are seeking their 11th fan enshrinee. So if you think you are deserving of the honor, or know someone who is, here's your chance.

According to the Packers news release, "The nomination phase for the 11th honoree, which began Sept. 21, will continue through Thursday, Oct. 16. Fans again are being asked to nominate themselves for the honor - or a relative or friend - in an essay of 500 words or less, telling why they should be recognized. Each nomination should be accompanied by a photo - a copy of the original photo should be submitted in case of damage or loss."

But that's just for starters. There's a selection committee who'll pick the 10 finalists, followed by an online vote of fans to choose the final honoree. To get started, mail nominations to: Green Bay Packers FAN Hall of Fame, P.O. Box 10628, Green Bay, WI, 54307-0628, or drop them off at the Lambeau Field Atrium (1265 Lombardi Avenue) or at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 333 W. State Street, Milwaukee, WI, 53201.

What does the winner get? "The honoree's selection will be announced Dec. 12, 2008. He or she will receive four club seats to a Packers home game, at which he or she will be recognized on the Lambeau Field TundraVision video boards; a $500 Packers Pro Shop gift certificate; a road trip for two to a 2008 Packers away game, including game ticket, air fare and hotel accommodation; and a one-year subscription to Packer Plus and Packer Insider. The honoree also will have his or her name permanently displayed in a place of honor in the Packers Hall of Fame."

Pretty good perks, eh?
