However, with all the money these teams have, I would be happy to sit in my lounger, up in the Packers press box, and communicate my clock strategy to MLF.  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/coffee.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":coffee:" title="Coffee    :coffee:" data-shortname=":coffee:" /></blockquote>
