July 9, 2006 posted under: Aaron Kampman, Brett Favre, Charles Woodson, Pete Prisco With the dog days of the off-season dragging on, CBS SportsLine columnist Pete Prisco made a desperate attempt to fill the void the other day with a piece on underrated and overrated NFL players. I suppose it’s a valid topic to debate, […]
March 14, 2006 It’s a story as old as the Internet itself, which admittedly isn’t very old at all. A group of friends get fed up with the content/service the old media companies are offering, decide they can do it better on their own, and start building a community. Dan at ArmchairGM sent me a […]
April 25, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre Pretty good performance by Brett Favre on Letterman last night. He told a funny story about going bow hunting before a Bears game, he got a chance to reiterate that he is retired and no it had nothing to do with Randy Moss, and he had a little […]
August 11, 2008 1. Pre-game warm up. This pre-season game will be our first chance to see how Aaron Rodgers responds as a starter in the NFL, so be sure to get a good base with a proper lunch for all the drinking tonight. You might also want to have some pre-game snacks (summer sausage, […]
September 9, 2006 posted under: Packers, predictions Tomorrow marks the opening of another Packer season, and I’m feeling all the angst and trepidation of a little kid on Christmas Eve thinking back on all the bad things he’s done in the past year. Maybe Santa didn’t notice all those times I said H-E-double hockey sticks […]
March 16, 2007 posted under: Badgers basketball, NCAA tournament It sure was a good thing that I was at work today instead of home in front of my TV; there’s a very good chance a shoe or a beer bottle or some other object would have become lodged in the screen early in Wisconsin’s opening-round […]
November 9, 2007 posted under: Badgers football With the 2007 football season drawing to a close, the Wisconsin Badgers have one more huge game before the obligatory bookend against the Gophers. Michigan is coming to Madison and an upset Saturday could mean redemption for a banged up program. Over at the Wisconsin Sports Bar, the […]
November 10, 2006 posted under: Badgers football You know, I never really got the whole T.G.I.F., Thank God It’s Friday thing. I understand the part about the weekend being here and all that, but I’m not sure that Fridays themselves are really worth celebrating; you still have to go to work, then you have a […]
May 14, 2007 posted under: Brett Favre, Packers, Randy Moss, Ted Thompson By now you’ve all probably heard or read the rumor that Brett Favre asked the Packers to be traded after the Randy Moss deal fell apart. The amazing part of the story, to me anyway, is that it was FOX Sports and not […]
February 6, 2006 posted under: Bucks, LeBron James Milwaukee had a chance to escape from Cleveland with a win tonight, but LeBron James spoiled the fun with a go-ahead layup in the final seconds to give the Cavs an 89-86 victory. Cold shooting was the undoing of the Bucks once again, especially Michael Redd who […]
December 7, 2005 posted under: Berghoff, Blogs, green-n-gold, Nietzsche or Nitschke?, Packer Palace, Point Beer, Usinger’s The wisenheimers at Deadspin recently chose their top three Packer blogs. Unfortunately, Brats & Beer didn’t make the cut (okay, maybe they didn’t know about it), but congrats to the three that did. Packer Palace was the top ranked […]
January 26, 2006 posted under: NFL, Super Bowl The new ads for the Super Bowl running on ABC and ESPN have me scratching my head. If you haven’t seen them (just stay tuned, you will), the curious thing isn’t the visual element — just stock footage of past championships dug out of the vaults of […]
December 20, 2007 With two games left in the regular season and a playoff schedule looming after that, is it too early to start thinking about next year for the Packers? Coach Mike McCarthy might think so, but that hasn’t stopped the patrons over at The Wisconsin Sports Bar from ruminating on the future of […]
March 16, 2008 Cheers to the UW Badgers basketball team for an impressive win over Illinois to add the Big Ten tournament championship to their awards and honors this season. Jeers to the NCAA selection committee for seeding Wisconsin third in the Midwest. Actually I’m not all that surprised at the bracket selection, but seriously […]
