August 5, 2008 Nice try Peter King. Your attempt to write a whole column today without mentioning Brett Favre was a brilliant success, except for the part where you mentioned Brett Favre like fifty times. But that was hardly the worst part of your column today, because no one in their right mind took that […]
May 29, 2008 So what did I do during the long Memorial Day weekend? Well, I did not think about Ryan Grant’s contract negotiations, I did not stop to consider whether or not Ted Thompson should make a trade for Jason Taylor, and I certainly did not worry about what the Packers organization should do […]
August 2, 2008 In spite of the fact that Detroit has amassed a record of 31-81 under his leadership, Matt Millen has had the rock solid support of Lions owner William Clay Ford for seven seasons. However, it sounds like Ford’s son, Bill, is starting to finally lay down the gauntlet. A report from Kevin […]
November 15, 2005 The Cyclones men’s basketball team opens their regular season this Sunday at Hilton Coliseum against Mountain State following a 1-1 exhibition round. ISU lost their pre-season opener to EA Sports, 64-57, but rebounded to beat Division II Bemidji State, 84-77. Turnovers and fouls have been big problems and shooting from the field […]
November 9, 2005 posted under: Packers The Press-Gazette has published its annual midseason grades for the Packers. A little harsh, maybe, but probably fair given the way this season has gone. Personally, I think the receivers deserve a little more credit given that they’ve been thrust into new roles with Walker’s absence. Chatman, who always […]
January 23, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, Packers A word of warning to all Brett Favre haters out there: The clock is officially ticking as we await word from The World’s Most Famous John Deere whether No. 4 will retire or return for another season of football. Yes, you will be treated to weekly if […]
August 27, 2008 Answer: a whole lot of them. The Worldwide Leader in Sports offers proof of its recent hiring boom for ESPN.com with a preview of the NFL that features no less than a dozen people weighing in with their soundbite opinions on each of the 32 teams. Judging from their thoughts on the […]
April 20, 2008 posted under: Kevin Rose, Packer fans Annual surveys of sports fans regularly show that Green Bay is one of the most popular teams in the NFL, with a fan base that stretches across the country. It’s also not uncommon to see celebrities attending games at Lambeau Field (though some need to keep […]
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), […]
March 23, 2008 posted under: Badgers basketball, NCAA tournament Actually it would not be sweet at all to have to be sixteen and go through high school all over again. If my teenage years played out like John Hughes’ Sixteen Candles, I can’t say that I would have been the nerdy Bryce played by John […]
March 13, 2008 posted under: Aaron Rodgers, free agency, Ted Thompson The past couple days the pool of free agent quarterback “talent” shrank by two when Joey Harrington re-signed with the Falcons, the team that cut him a couple weeks ago, and David Carr got plucked off the street by the Giants. Thankfully now those […]
May 4, 2006 Despite her failed attempt to find happiness dating Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher (remember that ugly scene on MNF a couple years back?), it seems that socialite and Internet sex tape star Paris Hilton is giving it another go with a pro football player. She has apparently been spotted hanging around with […]
May 13, 2007 Brace yourselves Packer Nation, because Brett Favre has been talking to the newspapers again. I’m sure that the charity sports events that Favre hosts during the off-season help out some worthy people but it also seems like the charity case that gets the most out of them is the national sports media. […]
February 16, 2008 posted under: Blog awards, Blog stuff, Cheesehead TV, Titletowns Awards season is upon us, and I’m not talking about last week’s Grammys or the upcoming Oscars. The good folks at Cheesehead TV are handing out awards for the best Packer bloggers and I am honored, humbled, and somewhat astonished to say that […]
