A random thought this Friday morning. Did anybody dare poke fun at Ray Nitschke’s hairline during a Green Bay Packers game in the 60s? If so, they likely spent that night in a hospital. Right there is the face of a man who helped make football what it is today. No doubt, the Hall of Fame linebacker was smiling down at how the 2024 NFL season ended in New Orleans — 60s-like carnage from the Philadelphia Eagles.

Let’s now officially turn the page to the 2025 NFL Season.

All 32 teams are charting their offseason plans. Next week at the NFL Combine, GMs and agents will start cracking deals. Free agency and the draft are around the corner.

High time for another Mailbag here at Go Long.
