In this one, I will deal only with the case for the Pro Football Hall of ...Published on: 2nd January, 2010
The Green Bay Packers travel to Arizona to take on the defending NFC Champion Cardinals Sunday at 1:15 PST. There has been speculation that the teams may rest players, and that would be bad news for fans of these exciting teams.
