CNN —As a 23-year fantasy football veteran, lifelong Green Bay Packers fan Bill Port knows his way around an NFL roster. Which is why when the Packers’ defensive coordinator job opened up recently, Port decided he should apply for the position. It was something like: ‘I heard your organization has a job opening and I figured I’d try this defensive coordinator thing. Sincerely — Mark.”A hand-written letter to Bill Port from Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy. So, given his deep-rooted allegiances to the Packers, would Port take up a job with the rival Chicago Bears, as Murphy suggested?

Kyle Juszczyk remembers the different feel when he took the field for the first time in the playoff rivalry between his San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers. That rivalry of San Francisco and Green Bay is always a big one. Favre followed with two quick touchdown passes as Green Bay rolled to a 27-17 win. Green Bay won the first playoff matchup 23-10 against Mariucci the following year as the frustration mounted in San Francisco. Kaepernick braved the cold of Green Bay the following year and played without long sleeves or gloves.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because Michigan is not discussing its strategy publicly, and did not provide details of its potential next moves. Michigan and the Big Ten have both confirmed the school was notified of potential discipline from the conference. The NCAA is investigating Michigan, too, but its process is slower and is likely to stretch well past the season. Former Michigan star and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard said in an email response to AP such a situation wouldn't happen in the Southeastern Conference. Michigan could seek a court order from a judge that would put any punishment from the Big Ten on hold.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — When Jay Norvell threw shade at Deion Sanders for wearing sunglasses during interviews, Coach Prime responded by handing out some of his signature shades. Sanders passed out pairs of Prime 21 sunglasses to his players during a team meeting — “I just want to see how y'all look in 'em. Before big games at Oregon and against USC, Colorado hosts Colorado State (0-1) on Saturday night, and during his weekly radio show, Norvell took a swipe at Sanders' habit of wearing his cap and sunglasses during media interviews. Howard called it petty for Norvell to complain about Sanders wearing sunglasses or a hat and never should have brought anyone's mother into the discussion. “If you know Deion Sanders, not even Coach Prime, but if you just know Deion Sanders, he's really, really close to his mom.
