November 4, 2007 posted under: Brett Favre, Packers, summer sausage #1) The defense must create turnovers, cover Tony Gonzalez like a glove and gang tackle Larry Johnson #2) Ball security on offense, protect Brett Favre and get what you can on the ground. #3) Healthy doses of Kewaskum summer sausage. You can leave a response, […]
December 11, 2006 posted under: 49ers, christmas, Packers, Post-game ‘Tis the season to be jolly, finally, and the Packers gave us all something to be cheerful about yesterday with a 30-19 win over the 49ers. It was hardly the playoff season I had asked for, but I guess there’s only so much the elves can […]
January 18, 2007 posted under: Aaron Rodgers, Packers With the NFL season grinding relentlessly to its conclusion, we Packer fans are left to watch the John Deere oracle for signs of white smoke. There’s a long, cold winter ahead with plenty of time (too much?) to ponder and speculate about the future of our team. […]
January 20, 2008 posted under: NFC Championship, Packers I’m too numb to articulate anything about this NFC Championship loss beyond anger, sadness, disappointment. One for 10 on third down; Plaxico Burress with 11 catches for 154 yards; the Giants held the ball for 40 minutes. An ugly way to end a beautiful season. Congratulations to […]
August 25, 2006 Unable to come to terms with their star wide receiver, the New England Patriots have given Deion Branch a week to negotiate a trade to another team. I can think of a team that might have some use for a Super Bowl MVP wideout, but getting him away from the bony clutches […]
April 29, 2008 The awesomeness that is beer doesn’t need to be debated, but I happened to come across an article about how City Brewery in La Crosse is helping fight both the energy crisis and global warming. The former G. Heileman Brewery is supplying methane to the Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation, which is using […]
November 26, 2006 posted under: Football, John Madden, Thanksgiving It’s taken a lot of effort for me to finally drag my fat and lazy ass to the computer after four or five fat and lazy days off; but what glorious fat and lazy days they were. I would guess I’ve put on a good five […]
January 31, 2006 posted under: Badgers basketball I don’t want to say it’s make or break time tonight for the Badgers, but it’s almost make or break time for the Badgers tonight when they face off against Illinois. Wisconsin is tied in a log jam at the top of the Big 10 standings with Michigan, […]
August 21, 2007 What is up with the Vikings and their continuous need to sign players cut from the Packers roster? The breaking news today is that Robert Ferguson, our regularly injured former #3 receiver, has been picked up by the Purple Pride Pose. So first it was Sharper, then Longwell (okay, that one makes […]
January 24, 2007 Steelers fans, and I know a couple, generally seem to be change averse, so they cannot be very happy with all goings on in Pittsburgh the past few days. First Bill Cowher retires, then Ken Wisenhunt leaves for Arizona, in comes Mike Tomlin from the Vikings (maybe a bigger whodat head coaching […]
March 3, 2008 The Randy Moss hysteria barely had time to get up a good head of steam before coming to an end today. The Patriots finally came through with a three-year, $27 million deal today after his brief and relatively quite testing of the waters. The Boston Herald (by way of CSTB) had an […]
February 21, 2006 Out of the field of athletes boasting a connection to the Badger State, Molly Engstrom became the first to win a medal in this year’s Winter Olympics. Engstrom, a native of Siren, WI, and a UW Badger, helped the US women’s hockey team win the bronze medal today with a 4-0 victory […]
June 15, 2006 I’m sure you’ve all heard by now about the misfortunes of former Vikings running back Onterrio Smith, but for those who have been out of the country let me briefly recap: The Whizzinator got himself suspended from the NFL for violations of the banned substances policy (he likes to smoke the ganja), […]
January 16, 2006 posted under: coaching carousel, Jim Bates, Mike McCarthy, Packers Looks like Mike McCarthy will get to choose his own defensive coordinator. At a press conference today, the Packers announced Jim Bates’ decision to leave Green Bay rather than stay on McCarthy’s staff. Oddly, Bates himself appeared at the press conference to explain […]
