October 26, 2006

All these work days between football weekends are really starting to get me down. Can’t we do something to speed up the week or just get rid of all these non-essential days? I think there ought to be a law, and I’m not talking about a stupid Man Law.
Anyway, Saturday is fast approaching and the […]

I did not realize that the players have it so rough up in Green Bay. At least it must be bad because they seem to turn into such douchebags once they leave.
I finally got around to reading the article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today in which Najeh Davenport talks trash about his days with the […]

Green Bay had several obstacles to overcome yesterday — their own ineptitude, an experienced (a nice way of saying old) Dolphins defense, and about 40 years worth of history — but the Packers succeeded in getting a 34-24 win in Miami anyway. It was an ugly win to be sure, but when you’re living on […]

Despite some miscues on offense and special teams, Wisconsin’s defense came through again to lead the Badgers to a 24-3 victory on the road over Purdue. UW held the Boilermakers in check with just 299 total yards, limited them to just three of 14 third down conversions, and stopped three attempts to convert on fourth […]

1. The Dolphins offensive line sucks worse than Green Bay’s – If you give Joey Harrington all the time in the world he can tear up a secondary. He messed up a couple Thanksgivings for us Packer fans when he was in Detroit doing just that. But Miami’s offensive line is horrible and I expect […]

That was one hell of a game last night, certainly a lot more of a game than anyone, including ESPN, thought it was going to be. If only the Bears could have somehow lost it would have been perfect, but it is the Cardinals we’re talking about here. And don’t forget Dennis Green, the man […]

Football is a violent game, yes, and no one wants to see anyone get injured. That said, it looks like maybe the Sooners got served a little hard justice this afternoon when Heisman candidate running back Adrian Peterson got hurt late in the fourth quarter of Oklahoma’s 34-9 smackdown of Iowa State.
With the game well […]

There wasn’t much doubt that Wisconsin was going to win today over the Gophers, but my goodness what a shellacking. But before I get into it, a personal word to Ken DeBauche: You’re up by a zillion points, don’t try to pass the ball when there’s a bad snap. It didn’t mean anything in the […]

I hate to say this, but I am so happy there’s not a Packers game this Sunday to mess up the weekend. I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy some football without all the stress of worrying about Green Bay. I will, of course, be rooting for Wisconsin on Saturday, but the Badgers are […]

The video screen at Lambeau Field flashed a shot of Mike McCarthy just after Brett Favre coughed up the ball in the red zone to end the 23-20 loss to the Rams, and according to the Press-Gazette’s Game Day Blog the Packers head coach appeared to say, “You have got to be kidding me.” No, […]
