Levy Trail South

I walked Levy Trail South this morning in 33:31. If someone put an atomic bomb in my basement and told me it would go off immediately after the Packers-Tamp Bay NFC championship game this afternoon if I didn't correctly pick the winner, I would pick Tampa. I can't tell you how much I hope that scenario, provided I had a basement, would lead to my evaporation. This Green Bay team can't win a championship beyond the 2022 season, or maybe 2023, so the Rodgers-led version needs to win now in order for him to have any chance to rank with the all-time football greats and, more importantly, for the Packers' last thirty seasons to rank with and perhaps at the top of football best long-term runs. ...My concern is not with Tom Brady but rather with Tampa's No. 1 ranked run defense. If Green Bay can't run, Rodgers becomes no better than a bit above average. We'll see.
