August 8, 2006 posted under: Brett Favre, Dr. Z Columnist Dr. Z has created quite an uproar in Packer Nation. The longtime Sports Illustrated writer suggested in a column last week that Brett Favre never was as good as most of us think he was and that maybe he doesn’t deserve to get into the […]
April 21, 2007 posted under: Badgers in the NFL, Joe Thomas, NFL Draft Just one more week to go before the NFL draft, and I’m sure all those top prospects are busy getting themselves to New York for meet-and-greets, hand shaking, nose rubbing and all other manner of league PR stuff. Well, all of them […]
June 22, 2006 posted under: Al Harris, Packers, Ted Thompson Here we go again. The Journal Sentinel is reporting that Al Harris is ready to take his contract dispute to DEFCON 4 and might hold out of training camp if Green Bay isn’t willing to part with some of that revenue they made last year. […]
January 6, 2006 posted under: NFL playoffs Despite the fact that Green Bay won’t be playing in the post-season this year, the NFL has decided to proceed with the playoffs anyway. Seems like a boneheaded decision to me, but at least there’s still a few more weeks of football to watch. The Wildcard round gets […]
January 21, 2006 ISU men’s basketball team battled hard today but failed to put Texas A&M away when they had the chance. Rahshon Clark had a chance to give the Cyclones a four point lead with 34 seconds to play but missed a free throw, and with 17 seconds remaining Kenneth White hit a clutch […]
March 21, 2008 A nice solid game last night by the UW men’s basketball team in their opening game of the NCAA tournament. They were a little sloppy with 17 turnovers, but overall I thought the Badgers dealt with Cal Fullerton’s speed pretty well. One thing I couldn’t stand, though, were the announcers Kevin Harlan […]
January 10, 2006 posted under: NFL Draft, Packers The 2060 NFL Draft is still three months away and a lot of players haven’t even declared for the pros, but the mock drafts are are already up and running. There seems to be an early consensus out on the Interweb that the Packers are going to […]
November 30, 2007 In the words of coach Mike McCarthy, “We did not play our best football.” Congratulations to the Dallas Cowboys. You defeated Aaron Rodgers to advance to 11-1 on the season, so you obviously fielded the better team and ol’ Fatty there was the superior coach. I’m sure you’ll go on the best […]
January 20, 2007 A very big win for the Wisconsin men’s basketball team today, defeating Illinois on the road 71-64. That makes 15 victories in a row for the #3 Badgers and one step closer to a run at the Big 10 title. Way to go, boys. I was a little worried there when they […]
January 30, 2008 All season long he’s kept his nose clean, kept his yap shut, and played lights-out football, but given the biggest stage in the world at the Super Bowl Randy Moss decided to unload on the Green Bay Packers. Asked by Tom Silverstein of the Journal Sentinel about his talks with the Packers […]
September 4, 2007 posted under: Badgers football With one win under their belt and a promising season ahead, it’s going to sound petty for me to say this, but I don’t like the new home uniforms the Badgers are sporting this year. Head coach Brett Bielema made the decision before the season opener to dress […]
April 30, 2008 One of the more hilarious, although increasingly annoying, sentiments to come out of the NFL Draft weekend is has been this general opinion among certain mainstream media scribes that by selecting Brian Brohm in the second round, Ted Thompson has sent a message that he and Mike McCarthy have serious doubts about […]
February 20, 2008 posted under: free agency, NFL, Packers The past few weeks of relative calm around the NFL is about to be shattered by the start of the free agent signing period on Thursday. Let the bidding wars begin. It won’t mean much hoopla around Packer Nation, though, not with Ted Thompson at the […]
November 27, 2005 posted under: Eagles, Packers, Pre-game It has been almost a week and all the feasting has helped soothe the wounds from last Monday’s disappointment. Green Bay travels to Philly today with a chance to score another big upset. The Iggles are down in the dumps and fractured in the locker room and […]
