January 18, 2008 I truly can’t believe my eyes, are the Favre haters finally coming around? Matt Ufford, founder of KSK and With Leather, has finally seen the light. He doesn’t actually hate Brett Favre, it’s the TV announcers and the sportswriters who shower Favre with love and rose petals that he really hates. Well […]
July 22, 2008 posted under: Johnny Jolly, Justin Harrell, Packers, Ryan Grant As we move past the soap opera of the off-season and head into training camp, there have been a couple good articles out there recently on serious issues facing the Green Bay Packers that have nothing to do with Brett Favre. (Is it […]
March 19, 2008 The long wait is over for the Green Bay Packers to make a move in free agency: Brandon Chillar has signed with the team. Ted Thompson signed the former Rams linebacker to a two-year deal worth somewhere north of $5 million. It seems like forever ago that Chillar’s name first came up […]
July 25, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, retirement ESPN is reporting that the Green Bay Packers have given the New York Jets permission to talk to Brett Favre about a possible trade deal and that Tampa is also in the running. I’m guessing that there was some narrowing of the list this week and, as […]
December 21, 2005 Milwaukee got a big win over San Antonio in overtime last night thanks to Andrew Bogut. The #1 draft pick scored with just over 10 seconds to go in the extra period to tie the game at 107, then took an inbound pass from Toni Kukoc and hit a fade-away jumper at […]
February 21, 2006 Out of the field of athletes boasting a connection to the Badger State, Molly Engstrom became the first to win a medal in this year’s Winter Olympics. Engstrom, a native of Siren, WI, and a UW Badger, helped the US women’s hockey team win the bronze medal today with a 4-0 victory […]

The Worldwide Leader in Sports offers proof of its recent hiring boom for ESPN.com with a preview of the NFL that features no less than a dozen people weighing in with their soundbite opinions on each of the 32 teams. Judging from their […]
August 1, 2008 posted under: Packers, training camp Believe it or not, there are some out there more interested in actual football than following every twist and turn in the Brett Favre odyssey. Eric at Packerholic has posted some firsthand observations from his visit to Packers camp along with a galley of pictures. (Well done, […]
August 25, 2008 posted under: effin Bears, Justin Harrell, Ted Thompson Offensive tackle Chris Williams, Chicago’s first round pick this year, was damaged goods and the Bears knew it, so says the Sun-Times by way of ESPN’s Kevin Seifert. The product of Vanderbilt was highly regarded in this year’s draft, but a lot of teams […]
March 2, 2008 Nice job by Michigan State undressing Indiana today. Sparty got off to an explosive start in the first half before rolling to a 103-74 victory. I just hope this isn’t the start of something bigger for MSU as we move towards the Big Ten tournament. With the Hoosiers falling, that leaves the […]
August 22, 2008 posted under: Packers, Pre-game, Pre-season There are some exhortations out there, specifically from the Journal-Sentinel and Jay Sorgi at WTMJ, that tonight’s game in Denver is a must-win situation for the Packers. It would be great to come away with a victory, but no pre-season game is a must-win. It is imperative, […]
April 8, 2008 Let me start by saying I am not a fan of indoor football. The whole concept seems to be missing an important ingredient for exciting football — playing outdoors, sometimes in extreme weather. That said, I can’t help but wonder what in the world is happening with the Milwaukee Bonecrushers. According to […]
July 12, 2008 posted under: Johnny Jolly As if Ted Thompson didn’t already have enough problems on his plate, word comes tonight that Johnny Jolly got busted in Houston and charged with posession of codeine. Not a lot of details in the Houston Chronicle article about the what, where, and why of this arrest, and […]
August 23, 2008 posted under: Packers, Post-game, Pre-season That’s how Ted Thompson summed up the Packers performance last night after beating the Denver Broncos on the road 27-24, and I find myself in agreement: The good and bad elements of the third pre-season game closely offset one another, leaving me feeling lukewarm about the team […]
