November 19, 2007 posted under: Al Harris, Packers, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens Randy Moss and Terrell Owens are the talk of the town after putting up some sick numbers yesterday. Both wide receivers scored four touchdowns, each played a down on defense and batted down a pass. The only difference between them yesterday: T.O. had […]
October 15, 2007 posted under: Bratwurst, Chippewa Falls I got a question from a reader today about brats, and there’s no topic I like better than sausage next to Packers football and beer. Anyway, Bob writes: I usually order brats from a maker in Chippewa Falls. They were recommended to me as the best brats […]
March 2, 2008 posted under: Badgers basketball, Big Ten basketball 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. […]
March 3, 2008 posted under: free agency, Ted Thompson, Warrick Dunn The rumor mill grinds on. Andy at packergeeks makes an intriguing proposal that Ted Thompson should make a play for running back Warrick Dunn, who was released today from the Falcons. Dunn would be starting his 12th NFL season, which might not sound too […]
April 12, 2008 posted under: Beer There’s an awful lot of bad economic news out there, but a story today in the LaCrosse Tribune made me especially sad. Apparently there is a worldwide shortage of hops and prices are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future. Forget about rising energy costs, the collapsing credit […]
September 17, 2007 posted under: Badgers football, polls There was not a lot of love and respect for the Wisconsin Badgers from the pollsters this week. Despite overcoming some first half challenges and beating The Citadel by two touchdowns, UW fell to #9 in the AP poll and remained at #7 in the coaches poll. […]
October 1, 2007 posted under: Badgers football, Badgers in the NFL, Jim Leonhard, Joe Thomas, Lee Evans, Owen Daniels This week’s roundup of Badgers playing in the NFL starts with first round draft pick Joe Thomas, who is helping to put winning football back on the menu in Cleveland. The Browns on Sunday defeated the […]
September 7, 2007 posted under: Gene Chizik, Iowa State football Last week in his debut as Iowa State head football coach, Gene Chizik suffered an ignoble defeat against Kent State. Tomorrow the Cyclones play UNI and the Des Moines Register ran a story today about why the Panthers winning the game would not be considered […]
March 4, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, retirement No, it doesn’t look like it’s a Web site snafu this time. Brett Favre has made his decision to retire from football, the Biloxi Sun Herald is reporting. Wow, I’m pretty much speechless here. Except to say thanks to Brett for 16 wonderful years and a great […]
September 18, 2007 posted under: Las Vegas, vacation I suppose in the biz they’d call this a programming note — though that seems to imply that there is an actual audience that needs to be notified of something — but there will be little activity at this site for the next few days because the […]
November 2, 2007 posted under: Chiefs, Packers, Pre-game The midpoint of the season is here and the Green Bay Packers are looking to go to 7-1 with a road win over the Chiefs this Sunday. Am I freakin’ dreaming here or what? This has certainly been one of the most unbelievable Packer seasons that I […]
September 3, 2007 posted under: Packers, Pre-season I’m convinced now that Ted Thompson is not lying and he is not trying to whitewash the issue when he says he has complete confidence in running backs Vernand Morency and Brandon Jackson, because he’s pretty much staked his professional career in Green Bay to those two players. […]
August 29, 2007 posted under: Vikings suck And apparently this year’s Vikings squad isn’t. According to a story in today’s Press-Gazette, the Lavender and Lace has thousands of unsold tickets and are facing the possibility of a TV blackout for the first time in a decade. The team has filled just 56,000 seats for the […]
January 13, 2008 posted under: NFL playoffs, Packers, Seahawks First NFC Championship berth in a decade? Yes, the dream season rolls on with an absolutely dominating victory over Seattle yesterday in Green Bay. But that dream started out in nightmarish fashion with two quick turnovers and a 14-0 deficit in the first four minutes of […]
