December 22, 2006 posted under: Packers, Post-game, Vikings I feel like I just got a lump of Coal Candy in my stocking for Christmas. Yeah, the win over the Vikings was sweet, but it sure was nasty to look at. (Actually, I didn’t see it at all because of the unholy and unjust blackout of […]
September 10, 2006 posted under: Badgers football It was another solid win for UW football, now 2-0 in this young 2006 season. Despite some mistakes, the Badgers rolled to an easy 34-10 victory over the Western Illinois Leathernecks. John Stocco threw for 227 yards and one touchdown, while PJ Hill continued to power the running […]
January 2, 2007 posted under: Badgers football, Capital One Bowl, effin Bears, Packers I love the way the holidays always come to a close with over-indulgence in food, drink and football, though I’m not sure which hangover is the toughest to beat. Well, it was a fine couple days for Wisconsin football with both the […]
August 3, 2007 posted under: Badgers football, polls The 2007 USA TODAY coaches pre-season poll came out today, so I guess that means college football is really underway now. Low and behold the Wisconsin Badgers got a little love from the pollsters and placed seventh in the rankings, behind Michigan but ahead of Ohio State. […]
April 29, 2006 posted under: NFL Draft, Packers, Ted Thompson Yes, boys and girls, you can stop with your speculation and mock drafts because the real deal is at last upon us. NFL Draft Day is like Christmas in April for football fans: We get to unwrap all kinds of goodies that will keep us […]
November 12, 2006 posted under: Big 12 football (Warning: The following contains mean-spirited and inappropriate remarks from a fan of a suck-ass football team who has no business trying to take the piss out of much better teams. Reader discretion is advised.) My Cyclones may have suffered yet another disastrous, disappointing, and embarassing loss yesterday […]
November 9, 2006 posted under: Dan McCarney, Iowa State football, Jamie Pollard I suppose there are some people out there in Cyclone Nation shedding a tear for Dan McCarney, who officially resigned yesterday as head football coach at Iowa State, but I can’t say that I’m one of them. The writing has been on the […]
November 14, 2006 posted under: dome stadiums suck, Vikings suck If there’s any doubt out there that dome stadiums are a blight on society, check out this tidbit from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: A crowd of 63,924 cheered loudly when the Jumbotron screens displayed an aerial view of the Metrodome, followed by a shot of several […]
March 17, 2007 posted under: Packers, Randy Moss I suppose as long as Brett Favre is wearing No. 4 for the Packers there will always be rumors about Green Bay making a play for a celebrity wide receiver. Last year ESPN’s Chris Mortensen stood firm by the story that Ted Thompson was ready to make […]
May 22, 2007 posted under: NFL Draft, Peter King Okay, I know I said I wasn’t going to write anything else about the NFL Draft, but this is more about the Draft as an institution, the Draft as entertainment, the Draft as a product. I made the mistake yesterday of reading Peter King’s “Monday Morning […]
October 1, 2006 posted under: Badgers football Now that was an impressive blowout. Granted it came against an Indiana team that was woefully outmanned at almost every position, but to score 35 unanswered points in the first half against any Division I-A opponent is a striking feat, especially for a UW team coming off a […]
May 15, 2007 posted under: Brett Favre, Packers, Randy Moss, Ted Thompson I just wanted to send out a big thank you to everyone involved in the Brett Favre – Ted Thompson affair for making my life as a Green Bay Packer fan so much better. We’ll probably never know the “truth” about what went […]
March 13, 2006 posted under: World Baseball Classic So yesterday I was watching the Japan vs. USA in the World Baseball Classic. Actually, I wasn’t watching it because ESPN chose to show college basketball and MLB.com wants $19.99 to watch the few remaining games online (bastards!), so what I was watching was the real-time game […]
August 11, 2006 posted under: Packers, Pre-season Responding to Green Bay’s serious needs on the offensive line, Ted Thompson yesterday signed five-year pro Michael “Mookie” Moore to the Packers roster. (Word is Al Franken will be trying out in camp today.) The former fourth-round draft pick doesn’t have much in his history to suggest he’ll […]
