Inbox: You'll probably never top that one

T-Shirt quotes. 1) Line 1: "Green Bay Packers." Line 2 – "Insider Inbox." Line 3: "Indubitably." Front of shirt: GB Logo. Back of shirt: "I survived COVID-19 because of Insider Inbox" with the words wrapping a picture of Mike and Wes. Also, "Insider Inbox where no lunch is safe." Right Wes? (Editor's note: Right).

"Conjecture based on speculation is just another layer removed from reality" (with Spoff's face where the TM mark is supposed to be).


Venny from Montgomery, AL


Quote on a T-Shirt: "Indubitably" On a gray shirt, white letters, outlined in green and gold. Washed out.


Rueben from Huntingburg, IN


"I don't need to climb the whole staircase. I just need a step."


Donna from Darien, WI


All-time best II quote would have to be "Bass-ackwards" from Mike Spofford.


Spencer from Rockford, IL


Lisa from Plymouth, MN


For the T-shirt, I switched things up and rather than use a quote, I went with a topic that got a lot of "yardage" last season. I would picture an exploding football going through laser goalposts. The caption: "Any Questions?" (Editor's note: I want that shirt. No, I need that shirt).


Rod from Middletown, NJ


"Physics Rules!"


Matt from Bloomington, IN


I'd wear "Good Morning!" on a T-shirt, even in the evening...


Dave from Sheffield, South Yorkshire


I have three great quotes from both of you guys, pearls of wisdom that resonated enough that I had to make a note. One stands out, however, as the winning t-shirt, scripted by Wes: "If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready!" It should ideally be accompanied by an image of either "Shaggy Lockdown" Wes or "Unscripted Saluting" Wes. This is my first contribution, so I want to thank you both for the sanity you bring, both during the season and over the last few months.

Mr. Wes Hodkiewicz: "No prescription, just understanding. Understanding the need for change in this country. Not tomorrow. Not a year from now. Today. If we truly value the life of every man, woman and child in this nation, then we need to have an open and honest conversation about institutional racism. That discussion can't wait any longer and I include myself in that. I need to be more outspoken and find ways to help amplify the voices that need to be heard."


Thomas from Cedar Rapids, IA


For many years I have tagged a quote on my email signature at work, changing it about once-a-week. I have never used the same one twice. I am happy to say that Wes and Mike have each made the grade. I gave you each proper credit, of course. "Expecting to avoid adversity is the first step toward not handling it properly when it arrives." ~ Mike Spofford. "Our stories are written in pen, not pencil, and what we choose to put on that page defines us." ~ Wes Hodkiewicz

Wes, question. Wes, question. Wes, question…


Is there no longer an II MVP?


(Editor's note: Leave it to me to forget how I branded this last year).


Who is your vote for the 2019-20 INSIDER INBOX MVP?


(Editor's note: It was a great field of nominees for the honor of being our second-ever Insider Inbox MVP. Others receiving votes, from someone other than themselves, included Brett from Green Bay; Al from Green Bay; Curt from Oronoco, MN; Scott from Lincoln, OR; Dean from Leavenworth, IN; Doug from Union Grove; and the incomparable Frank Lamping from Union Grove…All fantastic readers and people. Here are your top three…)


The second runner-up goes to….Derek from Eau Claire


Lane from Kihei, HI


I nominate Derek from Eau Claire. He asks concise, unique, insightful questions. As a traveling frontline health care provider dealing with COVID-19, I really appreciate the mental break Insider Inbox provides six days a week!


The first runner-up goes to…Lori from Brookfield


Josh from Wild Rose, WI


Lori from Brookfield gets my vote! Her questions are all well-thought out and her work in the medical field during these trying times is not overlooked by II nation.


And finally your2019-20 Insider Inbox MVP is….Margeaux from Tallahassee


Dean from Leavenworth, IN


In December with a snowstorm predicted to dump 6-10 inches of snow on Lambeau, she mentioned in a post that she was headed to GB to join the snow shoveling crew. To come to GB in a blizzard from Florida to shovel snow is a whole different level of fandom. With the storm not reaching expectations (2-3 inches) they only needed half as many to shovel so I hope she was able to participate.


Congratulations Margeaux. Maybe someday there will be a physical award or prize associated with this honor but that day is not today. But once this COVID nightmare is over, I owe a big hug the next time I see you at a Packers pep rally. And that concludes the third-annual Outsider Inbox. Thank you to everyone who participated. We'll be back to our regularly scheduled Insider Inbox on Thursday. Take care folks.
