We're Black and Blue All Over:

Good morning! Here's hoping everyone had a great weekend, especially Father's Day, and is raring and ready to go for a final week of offseason camp coverage before the entire NFC North goes into a month-long shutdown.

As we discussed Sunday, Green Bay Packers defensive end Anthony Hargrove will have the appeal of his eight-game suspension heard Monday by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. On Tuesday, the Minnesota Vikings will open their mandatory minicamp, which concludes Thursday. Be sure to let me know what you want to hear about, and I'll do my best to convince coach Leslie Frazier not to cancel any of the practices I intend to cover.

In the meantime, let's catch up on weekend coverage around the NFC North:
