Welcome in to an under center podcast special.

I'm J.J. Stankovitz for NBC Sports Chicago.

The Green Bay Packers have had an interesting offseason to say the least, hiring Matt

Lafleur as their new coach, signing a slew of free agents,

including Adrian Amos, and now dealing with the fallout from Bleacher Report's explosive deep

threat in the NFC North. So from the lowdown from Wisconsin, I'd like to welcome the Milwaukee

PackersNews.com. You can follow him on Twitter at Jim Ozarski. And Jim, thanks for taking the time

today. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it. So the Packers offseason program is underway already,

thanks to having the first year coach and Matt LaFleur. But what's the mood like in Green Bay after

that Bleacher Report article came out?

Well, I guess the mood is, depends what side of the, the Rogers line you fall on.

You know, he did an extended interview before meeting the, I guess, general media this week.

I did an interview with ESPN radio in Milwaukee and said, you know, he's heard from

100 plus teammates, and he's also said, look, if you don't like me, then this just adds to it and gives you further proof.

And, you know, that's kind of how it's gone.

I mean, look, for 13 years, despite four NFC championship games and one Super Bowl championship,

there is a very pro and anti-Rogers McCarthy group of fans, uh, to be honest.
