The first thing that I’d like to do here on Football Friday is voice my encouragement towards Jonathan Franklin.

From the Benches: The Calm Before The Storm The boys are back with a brand new show with a lot of news to catch up on. They begin the show by going through a rundown of OTA’s and Packers mini camp information, while checking in with their adopt-a-Packer, before discussing the comments made recently by…
