April 22, 2008 posted under: John Stocco, Lega Nazionale Football Americano Italiano The Green Bay Packers and the rest of the NFL are slowly getting their act together for this weekend’s draft, but I’m desperate enough for football that I’m checking out scores in the international leagues. Back around Christmas, former Badgers quarterback John Stocco […]
July 21, 2008 posted under: Marco Rivera, retirement Cheesehead TV has the latest rumor (via Pro Football Talk) that Brett Favre might finally end his bid to come out of retirement (from unnamed sources so who knows?), but there is at least some retirement news today that we can all rally around: Marco Rivera is […]
August 29, 2008 posted under: Packers, roster cuts The bikini girls need to know! While prognostication is really not my strong suit, I’ve been trying to work out who the Packers will keep for their 53-man roster and I have to say I do not envy Ted Thompson right now. (Okay, maybe a little; the […]
April 26, 2008 posted under: Jordy Nelson, NFL Draft, Packers Well what a long wait just to get to the #30 pick and then Ted Thompson trades down — big surprise! — into the second round, but at long last we have our first name: WR Jordy Nelson from Kansas State. Who? Just keep repeating […]
July 27, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, Packers, Ryan Grant “You Packers suck!” I guess it was inevitable with the Packers already embroiled in a very public divorce from its future Hall of Fame quarterback that everyone else would start to pile on. Not only is Brett Favre ranting and raving to ESPN about his […]
January 20, 2008 posted under: NFC Championship, Packers I’m too numb to articulate anything about this NFC Championship loss beyond anger, sadness, disappointment. One for 10 on third down; Plaxico Burress with 11 catches for 154 yards; the Giants held the ball for 40 minutes. An ugly way to end a beautiful season. Congratulations to […]
August 14, 2007 posted under: Packers, Pre-season I know we’ve sliced, diced, and dissected last Saturday’s pre-season match against Pittsburgh for all its worth but there was one thing that I haven’t seen mentioned too much that deserves highlighting: the absence of penalties on the part of the Packers. Last season Green Bay near drove […]
March 7, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, retirement Trapped in my cubicle under a pile of TPS reports, I didn’t have a chance to watch Brett Favre’s press conference live. It’s probably for the best because I seriously would have been balling my eyes out right there at work. What’s clear from the video is […]
November 9, 2007 posted under: Badgers football With the 2007 football season drawing to a close, the Wisconsin Badgers have one more huge game before the obligatory bookend against the Gophers. Michigan is coming to Madison and an upset Saturday could mean redemption for a banged up program. Over at the Wisconsin Sports Bar, the […]
November 20, 2007 posted under: Lions, Packers, Pre-game, Thanksgiving We’re just a couple days away now from Thanksgiving, the second greatest holiday on the entire calendar. It’s a whole day devoted to festive overeating and football, only Christmas can top it. This year, unfortunately, one of those football games involves the Green Bay Packers playing […]
March 12, 2008 posted under: Anne Capistrant, Iditarod, Trent Herbst, Zoya DeNure Early this morning it looks like defending Iditarod champion Lance Mackey pulled off back-to-back wins, but that doesn’t mean that The Last Great Race is over for the rest of the field. Zoya DeNure, formerly of Madison, is still going strong and listed […]
January 18, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, haters, Packers 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 […]
November 16, 2007 posted under: Blogs, Cheesehead TV Generally I’m all about new technology and things like that, but I’m still a little dubious when it comes to podcasts. I know there are some good ones out there, but so many of them are just for crap, either in production value or content. So it […]
November 12, 2007 posted under: Packers, Post-game, Vikings Here’s something I haven’t felt in a very long time: Total happiness, joy, and satisfaction with the Green Bay Packers. It’s kinda weird, but after yesterday’s nearly flawless performance and total domination of the Vikings, I can’t think of anything really to criticize. There were a couple […]
