GREEN BAY, Wis. – For new Green Bay Packers linebacker Eric Wilson, this week is akin to the classic scene from the movie European Vacation, when Clark Griswold couldn’t figure out how to exit a roundabout. Finally, with daytime having turned to night and with his family having fallen asleep in the car, a frazzled Griswold laughs and, for the umpteenth time, says, “There’s Big Ben, kids. Parliament.”
OK, that’s an exaggeration of Wilson’s life. Nonetheless, Wilson flew to London as a member of the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad for the game against the Minnesota Vikings last week.
