April 29, 2008 It’s nice to see that the Packers front office is not averse to adding some home-grown, Dairyland talent to the roster, or at least giving it a try. Punter Ken Debauche was signed to a free agent contract Sunday immediately after the draft. He finished his career at Wisconsin as the second […]
October 6, 2007 Some people say you always remember your first time; they obviously were not talking about losing football games because I would rather just forget about the Badgers first loss of the season. Wisconsin got totally manhandled by Illinois today in a 31-26 loss that was more lopsided than the score would indicate. […]
Posted on December 24, 2005 Milwaukee won their second straight ballgame last night with a 101-94 victory against the New Orleans/OKC Hornets. Michael Redd led the team with 36 points, scoring 14 in the final period. Andrew Bogut added 14 while TJ Ford had 12; Jamaal Magloire, an All-Star for the Hornets two seasons ago, […]
September 12, 2006 Great galloping ghosts of Scooter McLean, what a demoralizing turn of events that was. Zero points? I was mentally prepared for a loss to the Bears, but not a shutout fer crying out loud. The Packers couldn’t sustain a drive deeper that the 35-yard line, and that ended in a missed field […]
August 8, 2006 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 Hall of Fame on the first […]
December 24, 2005 ISU fans can walk tall today now that their Cyclones are Rainbow Classic champions. Okay, maybe it’s not that big of a deal, but it’s something. Iowa State defeated Colorado State 87-80 in the tourney final last night (or very early this morning, depending on how you look at it), with Stinson […]
April 2, 2008 It’s rare enough that you find one story about a former Packer great from the 1920s and 30s, this must be an extra special day because there are two. First up, I’m sure you’ve seen the ads for the new George Clooney film Leatherheads. The movie is supposed to be a comedic […]
Posted on September 26, 2007 Deanna, please remove all sharp objects from the Favre household before your husband does some serious damage to himself. Brett clearly can’t be trusted with big boy scissors because he was held out of practice today due to a cut on his finger. According to the Press-Gazette’s Insider Blog, the […]
Posted on September 24, 2007 It was sad to see my vacation in Las Vegas come to an end, but I was plenty glad to be home to enjoy Green Bay’s huge victory over the San Diego Chargers today. What a performance by Brett Favre, who threw for 369 yards and three touchdowns and tied […]
At the start of the 2008 NFL Draft, it was still up in the air as to whether Ted Thomspon would take even one QB, but here it is at the end of the second day and the Packers have two new recruits. So long, Jerry Babb and Dalton Bell, it was nice knowing you. […]
Posted on December 2, 2006 Do you suppose Will Ferrell crapped his pants when Eric McNeal intercepted John David “Big” Booty’s pass, sealing UCLA’s 13-9 upset win over USC today? If anyone has video of that, please upload it to YouTube immediately. So now that the Trojans have been eliminated from the mythical national championship […]
January 11, 2007 There’s a lot of familiar names circulating in the news today as the coaching carousel goes round and round. Unfortunately, Kurt Schottenheimer is not among those being bandied about for open positions; I’m secretly hoping he’ll get offered a chance to coach in the NFL Europe, far, far from Green Bay’s secondary. […]
October 21, 2006 1. The Dolphins offensive line sucks worse than Green Bay’s – If you give Joey Harrington all the time in the world he can tear up a secondary. He messed up a couple Thanksgivings for us Packer fans when he was in Detroit doing just that. But Miami’s offensive line is horrible […]
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 […]
