August 29, 2008 The reality of being out of work in this tough economy must be settling in for Daunte Culpepper, because the former Viking tells the AP today he’s open to the idea of being a backup for the Packers. This is interesting news on two fronts, first for the apparent about face in […]
September 16, 2008 posted under: Cowboys, Jerry Jones, Ted Thompson, Tony Kornheiser How ’bout that pizza? I didn’t think it was possible, but Tony Kornheiser last night managed to make me dislike the Dallas Cowboys even more than I already did with his incessant braying about Jerry Jones — his boy — and how he […]
August 12, 2008 posted under: Brad Childress, Jared Allen, Pat Williams, Tavaris Jackson, Vikings suck Hat tip to fellow Packer fan and friend of the site MC for posting on Michael Silver’s latest column from Vikings training camp where they seem to be singly-focused on producing bulletin board material for the season opener in Green […]
April 23, 2008 posted under: Daunte Culpepper, NFL Draft, Ted Thompson So I’ll admit, when I read that Daunte Culpepper was in Green Bay to visit the team I was at first horrified. No way do we want this guy on the Packers. He’s broken down, washed up, and he does that terrible arm roll […]
August 5, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, Peter King, unretirement Coffee or Favre? Doesn’t matter for Peter King Nice try Peter King. Your attempt to write a whole column today without mentioning Brett Favre was a brilliant success, except for the part where you mentioned Brett Favre like fifty times. But that was hardly the […]
July 22, 2008 posted under: Vikings suck The Minnesota Vikings have been begging and pleading that state for years to build them a new stadium to replace the Humpy Dumpty Dome in Minneapolis, but those tight-fisted Minnesotans just won’t give them a penny. (Hundreds of millions so billionaire Carl Pohlad can have a new baseball […]
October 8, 2008 posted under: Packers It’s probably becoming too much of a cliche in the blogosphere to say how REAL LIFE has gotten between the blogger and his blogging (and I’ll spare you the tedious false modesty of apologizing to my “one or two readers”), so maybe I should use the excuse that I […]
February 27, 2008 Okay they’re ready with the envelope. “And the winner is . . . ” Railbird Central, wtf? Alright, let’s try and compose ourselves. You’re still on camera, so smile. Applaud. Keep smiling and applauding like some idiot who can’t stop smiling and applauding. That’s right, don’t let them see your disappointment. Don’t […]
December 4, 2006 The final BCS rankings came out last night and it seems that someone got robbed. Or not. I guess it depends on how you look at it. Say what you will about Florida’s merit as the No. 2 team in the country and the BCS as the right system for determining that […]
February 12, 2006 Catherine Raney took the ice for the first time today in Torino and placed 11th in the 3,000m speed skating competition. The Elm Grove, WI, native finished with a time of 4:10.44, which was good enough to put her in second place after 11 pairs. Unfortunately, such top skaters as Claudia Pechstein […]
August 5, 2006 If you missed it on ESPN, Takeru Kobayashi won the Johnsonville bratwurst eating contest today at Brat Days in Sheboygan, consuming a world record 58 brats in 10 minutes. Fifty eight bratwursts? Holy crap. That’s like 15 pounds of food, for crying out loud. Two brats in a sitting is usually enough […]
August 6, 2007 Packers general manager Ted Thompson decided to play Santa Claus a little early this year by signing Donald Driver to a new contract extension. According to the Journal Sentinel, the new deal adds about $11 million to Driver’s existing contract, most of which will come in the extra year added to the […]

September 23, 2008 Bill Leinenkugel, who ran the Leinenkugel Brewing Company for many years and whose sons continue to run the brewery, passed away today after a long battle with cancer. He was 87 years old. My condolences go out to his family and friends. July 23, 2008 The Leader-Telegram has a pretty good article […]
