January 29, 2008 By way of Can’t Stop The Bleeding, here’s a story that will make you thankful that the Green Bay Packers are a community-owned team. Seattle SuperSonics owner Clay Bennett the other night got heckled — actually, not even that — by a fan at KeyArena. Shortly afterwards, the fan, a season ticket […]
October 9, 2007 In our continuing effort to keep tabs on former Wisconsin players now in the NFL, we catch up with Ron Dayne who has been carrying the load down in Houston while Ahman Green nurses a knee injury. This week against Miami, The Great Dayne racked up 40 yards on 16 carries and […]
March 7, 2008 Brett Favre blessed the hallowed ground at Lambeau Field for 16 seasons, and in the process he became a living legend and hero for Packer fans everywhere. In his press conference Favre said he hoped he’d be remembered for more than the records and statistics, but he need not worry. Number Four […]
November 16, 2005 After a 4-1 start, Milwaukee ran into some problems out West against the LA Clippers last night. Maurice Williams, Michael Redd, and Bobby Simmons were all well below 50% shooting and the team only took seven three-point shots. Los Angeles was on fire, though, led by Sam Cassell’s 23 points and Elton […]
January 28, 2008 People out there wondering what makes Green Bay Packers fans so great, just look at the response to today’s news that VP of Player Finance Andrew Brandt is leaving the team. He was a front office administrator who hardly ever got face time in the news, and yet everyone knows who he […]
September 15, 2008 posted under: Blogs, TheWisconsinSportsBar First Lehman Brothers and now this: There is a “closed” sign on the door at The Wisconsin Sports Bar. And how ironic that this happens on the day that Ned Yost gets canned from the Brewers. WSB has been a daily read for a long time now, so […]
November 7, 2007 Just a week after setting the NFL single game rushing record, Adrian Peterson will be playing his first game at (cue John Facenda) historic Lambeau Field. The 72,000 Green & Gold fans should be in full throat Sunday afternoon, waving their G-Force towels in the air; I hope it scares the Purple […]
December 13, 2005 Okay, I know everyone is upset, confused, or maybe downright pissed about the safety reversal call Sunday night. (Though the Detroit Free Press seemed to take it in stride as just another sign of how bad the Lions are and went right back to calling for Millen’s head.) I admit it was […]
September 9, 2006 In his Page 2 column on ESPN.com the other day, Jason Whitlock delves into the mind of Brett Favre and concludes that the three-time MVP desperately wants to be traded out of Green Bay. His “analysis” takes as evidence Favre’s annual back-and-forth regarding retirement and his comment to Bob Costas that he’d […]
April 25, 2008 posted under: NFL Draft, Packers For the most part this Spring I have avoided making predictions about the draft because honestly I don’t have a clue what’s going to happen. And unlike two years ago when I was excited about the prospect of Ted Thompson picking AJ Hawk, I just don’t have […]
September 24, 2008 Now I’m no doctor, and no I don’t even play one on this blog, but when I hear that someone has suffered a ruptured spleen due to blunt force trauma, I’m thinking that most real doctors would advise their patient to avoid any situation where they may encounter more blunt force trauma. […]
August 30, 2008 posted under: Packers, roster cuts The Packers announced their final roster reductions late today. The biggest surprise to me was that Vernand Morency was released. Also, the news that long snapper J.J. Jansen was placed on injured reserve means there are still some roster moves left to make this weekend. You can […]
September 24, 2008 posted under: Al Harris, Ted Thompson There’s been no official word yet on the condition of Al Harris and what impact that will have on the Packers, but the team is supposed to find out today the results of additional tests that were conducted. Hopefully we’ll know soon how serious his injury […]
April 27, 2008 posted under: NFL Draft, Packers, Ted Thompson Every year when the NFL Draft rolls around I question the wisdom of actually following the action in real time. I mean I could just get out of the house and do something — I dunno, productive — and then check out the news later […]
