May 2, 2006 posted under: Bucks, NBA playoffs The Bradley Center can work a little magic, but it can’t perform miracles. Milwaukee fell to the Pistons last night 109-99 and now face elimination trailing the Pistons 3-1 in the series. Of course, it’s hard to win games when your bench only scores 29 points and […]

October 14, 2007 posted under: Badgers football And by sucks I mean bitch-slapped Wisconsin 38-7. Ugh! That was the worst Badger football game in a long, long time. Since November 2005 in fact (according to the Journal Sentinel Badger Blog) when Michigan beat UW 49-14. They call it Happy Valley but there was really nothing […]

January 11, 2007 There’s a lot of familiar names circulating in the news today as the coaching carousel goes round and round. Unfortunately, Kurt Schottenheimer is not among those being bandied about for open positions; I’m secretly hoping he’ll get offered a chance to coach in the NFL Europe, far, far from Green Bay’s secondary.

January 6, 2006 posted under: NFL Draft, Packers It’s official now that Green Bay will have the fifth pick in the 2006 NFL Draft for the first time since 1992. I know there are those out there who are disappointed the Packers won’t be the first to the podium, but holding the five spot hasn’t […]

December 19, 2006 They say that records are made to be broken, and that is something I would certainly agree to when we’re talking about anything that features Kenny G, Styx, or Justin Timberlake. Actually there were a few milestones set in the Packers win over the Lions yesterday, not the least of which was […]
May 22, 2007 posted under: Justin Harrell, NFL Draft, Packers Honestly I’m as tired of rehashing the now month-old NFL Draft as anyone, but a friend pointed me to an interesting story concerning the Packers first-round pick, Justin Harrell, and the Denver Broncos.

July 2, 2006 The UW basketball team got its first verbal commitment the other day when Oshkosh West High senior Tim Jarmusz agreed to accept a scholarship for the 2007-08 season to play for Bo Ryan and the Badgers.
