There isn't a player on the Packer team I wouldn't trust to watch my child. To a man, every Packer is a gentleman. No egos. No flash. No infighting. Mike Holmgren, Ron Wolf and Bob Harlan have been superb. As for the fans, we've been nuts in love for 30 years, and may well be for another 100. CURTIS CAMPBELL Oconto, Wisconsin...
