The Green Bay Packers are slated to have the most nationally televised home games of any team in the NFL this upcoming season. That also means that kickoff times are going to be later in the day. Team president Mark Murphy recently gave an epic NSFW response when asked about the topic.

Mark Murphy says to the crowd he knows fans want more noon home games. The Packers have one noon home game this season.

“Here’s the reality: if we have a lot of noon home games, we’re a shitty team.”

Murphy noted that while the Packers only have one noon kickoff at home on the schedule, it's a sign that the team is respected. He's not wrong, either. The NFL wants the best teams playing in front of a national audience as the bottom-tier teams get things started with afternoon games week after week.

Keep in mind Green Bay has posted a 39-10 regular season record over the last three years, including an impressive 22-2 mark at home. Lambeau Field has long been one of the toughest environments for opposing teams to play in because of its combination of rowdy fans and freezing cold weather.

Overall, quarterback Aaron Rodgers will take center stage at home once on Thursday Night Football, Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football in 2022. The Packers also have three home games schedule for a 3:25 CT start. The start time for their Week 18 home game has yet to be determined.

Green Bay owns the fifth-best odds to win Super Bowl 57 at +1200, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The Packers also have odds set at -170 to win the NFC North division.
