National media visit Wisconsin, Part I

On the subzero night before the Packers hosted the New York Giants in the NFC championship game at Lambeau Field, Sports Illustrated writer Peter King put a bottle of water on the window ledge in his Green Bay hotel room -- inside, mind you -- and it froze.

He got stopped for speeding in Sheboygan County, doing 81 to 83 mph in a 65-mph zone, and escaped with only a warning.

He likes Midwest Airlines.

He thinks people in Wisconsin are nice.

Packers running back Ryan Grant once fell asleep in a meeting when he was with the Giants and was rather rudely awakened by coach Tom Coughlin.

Those tidbits, and some actual football commentary, are in his weekly column at SI.com.
