The claim is the picture is from Halloween, but I’m pretty sure this is a typical night out for Tate and his tights-wearing butt posse. It would be a […]

January 22, 2007 posted under: effin Bears, NFC Championship, Super Bowl So my attempts at prognostication were right on the nose: Bears and Colts in the Super Bowl. Ah, I suck at picking games. I was very surprised, to say the least, at how badly the Saints looked today. Was it the cold? All week […]

Specifically, I find myself rooting for Jon Ryan, the Canadian footballer Green Bay picked up in February to challenge BJ Sander. Ryan holds the CFL single-season record for punts with an average […]
January 10, 2007 posted under: Badgers basketball What a sweet victory for the Badgers over Ohio State tonight. It was ugly at times, high flying at times, and down to the wire, but Wisconsin got the win in the end, 72-69. Pretty nice work, boys. How about that Kam Taylor scoring 25, including 5-8 from […]

August 31, 2006 posted under: Iowa State football Strike up the marching band because college football gets underway this weekend, and the mighty Iowa State Cyclones open the season tonight at home against the Toledo Mudhens, er, Rockets. Actually, I shouldn’t kid because this should be a challenging game for the Cardinal & Gold; Toledo […]
July 2, 2006 posted under: Bucks, TJ Ford Bucks Nation seems to be enjoying its Fourth of July holiday so far, following word that the team traded TJ Ford to Toronto for Charlie Villanueva. Cheesehead Craig at Oracle of Cheese hilariously likens the deal to getting a 20oz. T-Bone and $10 for a double cheeseburger, […]
November 11, 2006 posted under: Badgers football, Hawkeyes suck It’s a good thing that there’s no Brats & Beer podcast because I’ve lost my voice screaming at the TV for the last three hours. The good news, though, is that Wisconsin finally beat the Iowa Schmuckeyes 24-21, closing out their Big 10 schedule with a […]

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 […]

July 27, 2007 posted under: Packers, Pre-season We’re still a day away from the opening of Packers training camp, so we really have no idea yet what kind of team we’ll be looking at in 2008.
