I build software for a living and the tool I use to generate random, fictitious data produced a web domain name today "hodkiewiczkulas.com." What should I make from that? Is Wes OK?

I guess you'll have to wait until Monday to find out.

Mike, you've mentioned game days are your longest nights. Do you draft any content before kickoff to get a head start on your stories, or do you wait to see how the game unfolds? What about in your newspaper days when there was a strict deadline?

In this job, I'm live-blogging the entire game so there's no head start on the postgame stories. In my newspaper days, on a tight deadline, I was always pre-writing some of the factual details of the story and leaving holes to put in comments. In either case, my mind is always churning during the game about how I'm going to organize my thoughts postgame. In some respects, the live blog helps me do that.

Mike, so you waltz in at 9 a.m. but the Inbox is posted daily at about 8:30 a.m. Does this mean you finish writing before you leave the day before or do you sometimes finish up at home at night? Who then does the actual posting?

The column gets finished either/or, and sometimes with another Q/A added first thing in the morning when I wake up, depending. The intern handles the posting.

In your opinion, what was the biggest move the Packers have made this offseason?

That's easy. Re-signing Aaron Jones. Hands down, not even close.

Hello Spoff. In reference to the question from Edward in SD about how the "Miracle in the Meadowlands" helped keep the Pack out of the '78 playoffs, my question is did the LeSean McCoy "Miracle at the Meadowlands II" punt return (as it's called that) on Dec. 19, 2010, help the 2010 Pack get into the playoffs? Did the Giants hold the tiebreaker with the Pack going into that game?

First off, it was Desean Jackson, not McCoy, and Tom Coughlin's clipboard was the co-star of that show. As for whether the play helped the Packers get into the playoffs, absolutely. What it did, combined with Tampa Bay's OT loss to Detroit at almost the same moment, was put Green Bay in control of the final wild card. The Packers lost later that night at New England with Matt Flynn at QB but got on the plane knowing two more wins and they were in, with no more help needed. Where it gets a little misleading is when people claim the Packers needed Miracle II to happen or they don't get in. To that, I say it's complicated, because Philly's final two weeks could've played out differently (or not) without the East clinched, so we don't really know.

There have been multiple times that either you or Wes has responded to a question about picking a breakout or most improved player. Has there been an instance when the most improved player was not also considered a breakout player? Like a time when one of the better, more established players came back to training camp and had a noticeably different level about him?

Aaron Rodgers, 2020.

Gregory from Waterford, MI

Hi II, remind me again, did Aaron Rodgers disclose what he found in his technique that was missing during last season?

He eventually revealed on Pat McAfee's show a couple of days after the loss in the NFC title game that his 2010 film session revealed how much more he used to sink into his hitch at the top of his drop-back. Playing through knee and leg injuries in previous years, he had gotten away from that, shifting/sinking less weight. That's why he dedicated himself to squatting in the weight room, regaining his old leg strength, and he felt sinking into his hitch again improved his timing and accuracy.

Jason from Austin, TX

II, regarding the TE position, do you think it's harder to teach new TEs how to block or how to run routes and catch?

The former.
