January 25, 2006 Whew, looks like maybe the Wisconsin basketball team took out a little of their pent up aggression on Penn State tonight. Bouncing back from the national embarrassment of their loss to North Dakota Academy for Agricultural Arts, the Badgers whooped up on the Nittany Lions 72-43. Alando Tucker led the team with […]
August 4, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, Mike McCarthy, unretirement The story has been buzzing around the Internet that the Green Bay Packers have hired former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer as a PR consultant, and judging from Mike McCarthy’s press conference after last night’s scrimmage it sounds like the coach is already taking […]
August 12, 2008 posted under: Packers, Post-game, Pre-season Has the sun come out again over Packer Nation today? Let’s call the forecast mostly sunny with periods of nagging doubt after Green Bay’s first pre-season game. The Packers definitely have room for improvement before beginning this year’s campaign to defend their NFC North Division title, but […]
November 4, 2005 On it’s Web site, Sports Illustrated offers up its list of the 10 most disappointing players this season. And number six on the list is none other than #4, Brett Favre. What? Come on, now, SI, let’s put this into some context. Three starting players are missing from that offense and there […]
April 24, 2008 posted under: Beer, Blogs, Brew Blog While blogging is slowly making inroads into mainstream media outlets and other corporate environments, there aren’t yet a lot of 9 to 5, regular paycheck jobs out there for bloggers. James Arndorfer, though, has landed a pretty good gig running Brew Blog for Miller Brewing. According […]
July 8, 2008 posted under: Beer, Brett Favre, Miller Brewing, MillerCoors, Packers, retirement It was a mighty fine vacation, but a perfect storm of crises in football and beer has brought me back from my semi-self imposed hiatus from posting. (Shoutout to Cheesehead TV and Cheese and Packers for link love despite the fact that […]
August 6, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, unretirement Hug it out, Packer Nation It looks like we’ve finally come to a resolution, and while it is a relief it isn’t a particularly satisfying end. In fact, it’s pretty crappy when you think about it. The first time around with Brett Favre leaving Green Bay it […]
July 25, 2008 The shareholders of the Green Bay Packers came together yesterday at Lambeau Field and let their voices be heard, and from most accounts a majority of those in attendance expressed their approval of Brady Poppinga’s new contract extention. There were a few hecklers and some booing, but overall the crowd of 9,300 […]
January 26, 2006 The new ads for the Super Bowl running on ABC and ESPN have me scratching my head. If you haven’t seen them (just stay tuned, you will), the curious thing isn’t the visual element — just stock footage of past championships dug out of the vaults of NFL Films — but the […]
August 31, 2008 posted under: DeShawn Wynn, Packers, Ted Thompson There must be something about DeShawn Wynn that Ted Thompson really likes, because the former Florida Gator was one of eight players signed by the Packers to the practice squad. This baffles me a little because Wynn so far has pretty much been a washout […]
June 3, 2008 posted under: Noah Herron Warning to Brown County criminal masterminds: Avoid breaking into homes occupied by members of the Green Bay Packers. Apparently a couple douchebags broke into the home of Noah Herron and one of them ended up in the hospital when the Packers running back used “justifiable force in protecting […]
August 1, 2006 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 out a video highlighting the game’s new […]
August 1, 2008 posted under: Matt Flynn Probably not, but this item from today’s morning practice (via the Press-Gazette) made me chuckle: Backup quarterback Matt Flynn completed a pass to himself. His attempt to throw was batted at the line of scrimmage by Daniel Muir and fell back into Flynn’s hands during a team drill. […]
October 6, 2006 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 draft pick but also a […]
