Wednesday Cheese Curds: Football is on the way

The Packers dropped their first depth chart and Dope Sheet this week, which means football is coming.

The surest signs of fall are on their way.

It’s only August, but every so often you can detect a slight change in the air. Depending on where you live, a few trees might have a tinge of color in their very highest leaves. The nights, too, are getting longer as we move farther away from the summer solstice.

And on top of all this, NFL teams are releasing their first depth charts.

Sure, they’re completely bunk. Why even bother making a depth chart when you’ve got 90 guys on the roster, many of whom will be making their way out of Green Bay in the near future?

But it’s still important in what it signifies. Fall is coming, and it’s bringing football with it.
