Practice-squad Spoff and agent Rosenhaus would hold out for a better name for the Mudhens.
I did ride in an elevator with him once. I never was able to make eye contact or say a word to him. He was babbling on his phone the whole time. True story.

Did you happen to catch Mahomes' audible: "Hey! Here we go. Lambeau, Lambeau, Lambeau. Here we go. Here we go" with 12:20 left in the third quarter last night? That's right up there with "Yellow weasel."
It even got my wife to look up from her phone and make a comment, so I know she doesn't completely ignore the game.

Do you think if Andy Reid shaved his mustache his face shield would stop fogging up?
It was not ideal weather for a face shield, but I admire Reid's perseverance and unflappability.

What kind of person do you have to be to make as much noise as possible during a moment of silence for equality?
Sadly, it didn't surprise me at all.

Much has been made of tackling concerns with the lack of preseason. What are your thoughts on potential ball-security issues at the skill positions?
If players need preseason games to get that squared away, they aren't long for the NFL in my opinion.

What do you think is the most unbeatable record in football? I think Favre's interception record will never be equaled either. I don't see a QB running that number up without being benched, traded, or cut long before they even are in the neighborhood.
One of my favorite Favre quotes of all-time was when he was asked about the interception record, and he said something to the effect of, "You have to be pretty darn good to throw that many." Such a simple, yet perfect, way to say it.

Thanks again, Insiders, for getting us all through these past few months! I've seen it written here during the offseason that the NFL is a year-to-year league; during the season, a week-to-week league (this year may make it a day-to-day!). When does it change to week-to-week – when the baloney stops?
Dan from Bridgman, MI
I'm a relatively new II reader and absolutely love the column. That being said, there are a number of seemingly inside jokes that go over my head: laser goalposts, stolen lunches, the No. 88...Could you please give an explanation to those of us who are out of the loop?
Sorry, Dan, there are no replay reviews in II. If you ask the comment community below, it might be willing to fill you in. But you gotta ask nicely.

When the Packers prepare to match up against the Vikings' two rookie corners, how does the offense prepare for them with no preseason or past film in the NFL? Do they watch college tape to find their tendencies, strengths/weaknesses, etc.?
I don't know for a fact this is the approach, but I would imagine they comb through the pre-draft scouting reports from the personnel department, try to project how they'll be used in Zimmer's scheme, and then be ready to adjust on the fly.
