Alando Tucker played a brilliant game, recording a double-double with 27 points and 16 rebounds, while Brian Butch scored 17 and Ray Nixon pumped in 13 more. UW was down […]
April 27, 2006 posted under: Brett Favre, Charles Woodson, Javon Walker, Packers The black cloud has lifted and the sun shines warmly on Packer Nation today, for Brett Favre has strode in on his trusty steel lawn mowing steed to save the day. Yes, Number Four has finally announced he’ll return for (at least) one […]
November 5, 2006 posted under: Badger bars, Billy’s, Blogs, Packer bars, TheWisconsinSportsBar GBFan at The Wisconsin Sports Bar posted yesterday a request for help trying to locate Packer bars and Badger bars outside the state of Wisconsin. There are a lot of us ex-pat Midwesterners living in far flung corners of the country where the […]
October 6, 2006 posted under: Ahmad Carroll, Packers Well here it is Friday and it looks like Kurt Schottenheimer still has a job in Green Bay. This disappoints me greatly, but it does not surprise me much. It would be a pretty big jolt to the franchise to lose not just a former first round […]
October 3, 2006 posted under: Eagles, Packers, Post-game Horrible. Despicable. Just down right effed up. I can hear Press-Gazette columnist Mike Vandermause in my head saying we just need to give this team time, I can hear my friends and family telling me it was a longshot that the Packers might possibly win this game, […]
September 24, 2006 posted under: Austin Flynn, Iowa State football, Janna Skrabanek Okay, it wasn’t much of an assault and the final score was pretty lopsided, but I have to say that the Cyclones showed a lot of poise in their 37-14 loss to UT. Recovering from a 16-0 deficit and actually running with a […]
August 1, 2006 posted under: Adrian Klemm, Madden NFL, Packers Like we needed to be reminded, the new Madden NFL 2007 is being released next month, but for anyone out of the loop Electronic Arts has put up a promotional Web site chock full of videos and screenshots to whet your appetite. Anyway, I’m checking […]

May 7, 2006 posted under: Brett Favre, Packers, training camp More tidbits came out of the second day of minicamp in Green Bay, but the highlight was Brett Favre’s first press conference since deciding to return for his 16th season with the team. The half hour session with reporters can be summed up thusly: I’ve […]
February 2, 2006 posted under: Bucks Milwaukee was really missing Michael Redd last night as the Bucks came up short against Houston 86-84. The team’s leading scorer was sidelined with back spasms, adding misery to a team that lost Mo Williams to an ankle sprain. The Bucks tried to make a game of of it, […]
May 23, 2006 It must be the dog days of the off season, because I’m thinking about punters. 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 of 50.6 yards set last […]
August 2, 2006 Even I have to admit that sometimes change is good, but most of the time it isn’t, especially when a sports team decides to change its name, logo, or colors. While the new Bucks colors are the rare exception, just look at the Cincinnati Bengals or Anaheim Ducks. (To be fair, the […]
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 […]
May 29, 2008 So what did I do during the long Memorial Day weekend? Well, I did not think about Ryan Grant’s contract negotiations, I did not stop to consider whether or not Ted Thompson should make a trade for Jason Taylor, and I certainly did not worry about what the Packers organization should do […]
