March 2, 2008 posted under: Badgers basketball, Big Ten basketball Nice job by Michigan State undressing Indiana today. Sparty got off to an explosive start in the first half before rolling to a 103-74 victory. I just hope this isn’t the start of something bigger for MSU as we move towards the Big Ten tournament. […]
August 12, 2006 posted under: Brett Favre, Dr. Z, Peyton Manning It turns out that Sports Illustrated columnist Paul Zimmerman has pretty thin skin. In his piece yesterday, the esteemed Dr. Z opened his mailbag to find some letter bombs from Packer fans steamed about his hatchet job on Brett Favre last week. But the […]
July 27, 2007 posted under: Packers, Pre-season Continuing my preview of the 2007 Green Bay Packers, let’s take a look now at the defense and what we can expect from that unit. Given the question marks on the offensive side, the old axiom about the best offense is a better defense might be true for […]
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. […]
December 24, 2007 We all know the legend of the Green Bay Packers and cold-weather football: The Ice Bowl, Brett Favre’s winning record when the temperature is below freezing, the advantage of playing on the Frozen Tundra in January. Yesterday at Soldier Field, someone replaced that team with the Bizzaro Packers. Bottom line, cold or […]
March 26, 2008 When most people think of Green Bay I’m sure that beer, cheese, paper mills, and the Packers all come to mind well before Web 2.0 technologies; however, the guys at Cheesehead TV are giving Packer Nation the social media Full Monty with a new feature on their web site. Out of their […]
April 22, 2008 The Green Bay Packers and the rest of the NFL are slowly getting their act together for this weekend’s draft, but I’m desperate enough for football that I’m checking out scores in the international leagues. Back around Christmas, former Badgers quarterback John Stocco signed a contract to play football for the Milan […]
February 29, 2008 Since it is Friday afternoon I figured it’s a good time to post something about beer, even if it is old news. I discovered while updating the layout of the site and testing links that the Huber Brewery in Monroe, Wisconsin, is no longer. The brewery and its brands were all purchased […]
June 12, 2006 posted under: Admirals, Calder Cup The Calder Cup finals are all even after this weekend’s games in Pennsylvania. Milwaukee recorded a 2-0 victory over the Hershey Bears on Saturday night with Darren Haydar scoring a power play goal in the first and then getting an assist on a goal by Simon Gamache […]
February 16, 2006 posted under: Iowa State basketball While I was busy watching the Olympics last night, my poor Cyclones were busy losing their third game in a row, falling to Nebraska 73-63. Iowa State managed to pull even in the second half and later got within one point of the Huskers on a three-pointer […]
November 16, 2007 posted under: Blogs, Cheesehead TV Generally I’m all about new technology and things like that, but I’m still a little dubious when it comes to podcasts. I know there are some good ones out there, but so many of them are just for crap, either in production value or content. So it […]
February 1, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, Packers Bill Michaels posted this image of Brett Favre’s pass that was intercepted in overtime in the NFC Championship on his SportsBubbler blog. (Thanks to WSB for the link.) I wasn’t going to post about it because it made me kind of depressed and I didn’t really have […]
November 6, 2005 posted under: Badgers football, Iowa State football Well, it was not a good showing yesterday for the Badgers. Penn State did a good job of hemming in the running game and forcing Wisconsin to become a passing offense, which they are not. Pretty damn depressing. But, with two games to go in […]
May 1, 2008 I completely missed the boat on the sports town hall program hosted by Bob Costas the other night, but I have since seen the videos of Buzz Bissinger’s insane tirade against sports bloggers and blogging in general. If you missed it too, The Bucky Channel has some clips. The sound of an […]
