Shareholders meeting marks Packers season’s unofficial start

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) Training camp has yet to begin and Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy is already looking forward to the end of the season.

Finishing the year at the Super Bowl, which is being played in Minneapolis at the home of the NFC North rival Vikings, would be quite a treat for Packers fans.

”I tell you it’s going to be a lot of fun this year for all our fans to drive across the state of Wisconsin,” Murphy joked at the Packers’ annual stockholders meeting on Monday.

This was no chest-thumping guarantee, just a good-natured comment from Murphy to the roughly 7,000 people who sat through the 90-minute meeting on a sunny day at Lambeau Field.
