The annual Green Bay Packers Tailgate Tour rolled out of the Lambeau Field parking lot Tuesday morning.
For the rest of the week, team President and CEO Mark Murphy along with a half dozen former Packer players will make several stops to raise money for local charities at tailgate parties and make a few surprise visits to award grants to schools.
Before boarding, I caught up with a couple of the ex-players.
