We're Black and Blue All Over: Why is the NFL considering a reorganization of its offseason schedule, as reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter? Naturally, to avoid the kind of quiet period that leaves players, teams and media members fighting over whether someone has broken fingers or simply injured ones.
We're Black and Blue All Over: It appears that a tough market for former Green Bay Packers defensive back Charles Woodson is loosening a bit. According to ESPN's Josina Anderson, Woodson will visit the Denver Broncos on Wednesday and has an offer from the Oakland Raiders, the team he began his career with in 1998.

A mere two years later, the 2011 draft is crumbling for most of the NFC North. At a time when it should be forming the nucleus of our respective teams, the class of '11 is instead causing some of our most gaping holes.

Receiver Greg Jennings agreed to a five-year contract Friday night with the Minnesota Vikings, and here is my highly controversial and thoroughly debatable takeaway: The deal makes perfect sense for the Vikings.

On Thursday, the Green Bay Packers learned that their all-time leading receiver plans to retire. On Friday, we heard another top receiver speak realistically about the likelihood that he will be with another team in 2013.

SAN FRANCISCO -- I'm spending most of Saturday night's game in our Countdown Live chat, but here are a few quick halftime thoughts from Candlestick Park, where the 49ers lead the Packers by three: A Captain Obvious note: The Green Bay Packers haven't had an answer for the running skills of Colin Kaepernick, who has 107 yards on 11 carries -- including a 20-yard touchdown dash.
The Green Bay Packers appear to have answered their biggest injury question of the divisional playoff round. Their top four wide receivers participated in at least a portion of their final practice of the week Thursday, suggesting they will all be available for Saturday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

As we get closer to Saturday night's divisional playoff game at Candlestick Park, the biggest injury question might be whether or not Green Bay Packers receiver Jordy Nelson will play.
