About the best thing I can say about Pride & Prejudice is that it isn’t horrible. Mrs. BratsNBeerGuy dragged me out to see the latest movie version of Jane Austin’s love Victorian-style novel and I suspect many of you husbands and boyfriends out there will get the same request this weekend or over the holidays.

Milwaukee fell to 5-3 on the season last night after losing on the road to Sacramento 103-82. Joe Smith led the Bucks with 21 points while Michael Redd managed 18, but the Kings were red hot with all their starters reaching double digits. Milwaukee is giving up almost 102 points a game so far, 26th […]

On, Wisconsin! Brian Butch scored 23 points to lift the men’s basketball team to an 80-51 victory last night against Norfolk State. Alando Tucker reached double digits and led the team with eight rebounds, while Marcus Landry added nine points coming off the bench. The Badgers play Eastern Kentucky in game #2 of the Paradise […]

Man, more bad news out of 1265 Lombardi Avenue. Robert Ferguson, on the mend from a torn LCL, was hurt in practice yesterday in a collision with safety Nick Collins. The Packers were hopeful he might be available for Monday night’s matchup with Minnesota, but now he’ll most likely be on the sidelines again. No […]

As if drawing 11 penalties in nine games isn’t bad enough, Ahmad Carroll is now looking at a possible fine from coach Sherman for his conduct during Green Bay’s 33-25 victory over the Falcons. I missed this in the highlights, but after stripping the ball from Roddy White in the final quarter, the young corner […]

Came across a new college sports blog today called Longerhorns.com and decided to check it out. It’s all about the University of Texas and all, so it didn’t really interest me much, but it seemed OK for what it was. But then I got to bottom of the ‘About‘ page and found this bitchy little […]

Thought I’d search around the blogs to see what Vikings fans had to say about this week’s Monday night game.
Vikings Review doesn’t seem to enthused about Minnesota’s changes: “I would be lying if I said I didn’t fear the Packers this week. In Green Bay, on grass, on the road, with Brad Johnson, a super […]

Packers new-found sensation, running back Samkon Gado, is up for NFL Rookie of the Week honors. He’s leading with 51% of the vote as of this morning, but balloting ends today. Go to the NFL site and vote for Gado!

Milwaukee finally got the upper hand as a visiting team, beating Golden State last night 90-87. Michael Redd scored 27 and Bobby Simmons added 20 with 11 boards. The victory ended a 17-game losing streak on the road for the Bucks, a drought that started back in March with a loss to the Warriors. They […]
