GREEN BAY, Wis. -- At first glance, AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones look like opposites. There’s Dillon with his 247 pounds and massive lower body. There’s Jones at 208 on his slender frame. Regardless of what they look like, one of them thinks they can give the Green Bay Packers the best running back tandem in the NFL. “You look at us and you see thunder and lightning, which absolutely we are,” said Dillon, the second-year back. “But you know, the lightning guy, Aaron, he can also grind out some yards. And the thunder guy, myself, I’d like to say I can still beat some guys running away...

The QB who ran what was left of the No. 1 offense during OTAs looked much different than the third-stringer who crawled through his rookie season.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- If Aaron Rodgers is as dug in as it sounds and dead set on never playing for the Green Bay Packers again, then nothing the team could have done in this past weekend’s NFL draft would change that. But if Rodgers were willing to consider it, the draft at least took a step toward giving Rodgers another Super Bowl shot with this team -- if he is willing to take it.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Before there was a quarterback who read answers on "Jeopardy!", there was a kicker who spun the "Wheel of Fortune." Benirschke had a one-year run as host of "Wheel of Fortune" in 1989. Following a 10-year career as a kicker for the San Diego Chargers, he replaced Pat Sajak as the host of the daytime version of the show. Sajak left to host a short-lived late night talk show but continued to host the evening syndicated version of the game show. At that time, the show aired twice a day. Unlike Rodgers, an avid fan and former celebrity contestant on "Jeopardy!", Benirschke had ...
