January 26, 2006 posted under: coaching carousel, Mike McCarthy, Packers Watching the new crew of midshipman coming aboard the floundering SS Green Bay Packers in an effort to raise the keel and get back under steam has been, to say the least, interesting for all of us Packer Backers. I think we went in to […]
April 8, 2008 posted under: Bonecrushers, Gilbert Brown 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 […]
March 23, 2008 posted under: Good food Brendan from the food blog endless simmer dropped off a note here the other day about a post they did on the best eats for drunk college students at the 64 NCAA tournament schools. UW managed to come in 10th in their rankings with a Mac ‘n Cheese […]
February 25, 2008 Yes, I’m trying out a new look for Brats & Beer, but this has nothing to do with trying to win a Titletown award for web design next year. Being neither a graphic design guru nor an HTML genius, any feedback is appreciated — especially with regards to bugs or layout problems […]
August 25, 2007 posted under: Donald Driver, injury report, Packers, Pre-season A fierce opponent of making any definitive statements, Ted Thompson said at a press conference he thought Donald Driver would be healthy again to play in the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, though he stopped short of making any guarantees. “Thats’s what we […]
November 7, 2007 posted under: Adrian Peterson, Packers, Pre-game, Vikings Just a week after setting the NFL single game rushing record, Adrian Peterson will be playing his first game at (cue John Facenda) historic Lambeau Field. The 72,000 Green & Gold fans should be in full throat Sunday afternoon, waving their G-Force towels in the […]
November 9, 2006 posted under: Dan McCarney, Iowa State football, Jamie Pollard I suppose there are some people out there in Cyclone Nation shedding a tear for Dan McCarney, who officially resigned yesterday as head football coach at Iowa State, but I can’t say that I’m one of them. The writing has been on the […]
March 4, 2008 What a day. I spent a vast majority of it reading stories and blog posts, watching ESPN and press conferences, and listening to WTMJ online. (Oh, the day job will not be pleased with my productivity.) But even after all of that, I still can’t quite get my head around the idea […]
April 29, 2008 It’s nice to see that the Packers front office is not averse to adding some home-grown, Dairyland talent to the roster, or at least giving it a try. Punter Ken Debauche was signed to a free agent contract Sunday immediately after the draft. He finished his career at Wisconsin as the second […]
November 14, 2006 Anyone out there not have an opinion on Brett Favre and the possibility he comes back next year? Both of you are excused to go back to your jobs at McMurdo Station, but please accept a subscription to Sports Illustrated for Peter King’s gushing columns about our favorite signal caller and take […]

January 16, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, NFC Championship Good stuff from Brett Favre. The East Coast liberal media isn’t quite sure what to make of deer sausage. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. When Packer Fans Go Bad »
September 9, 2006 posted under: Brett Favre, Jason Whitlock, Packers In his Page 2 column on ESPN.com the other day, Jason Whitlock delves into the mind of Brett Favre and concludes that the three-time MVP desperately wants to be traded out of Green Bay. His “analysis” takes as evidence Favre’s annual back-and-forth regarding retirement and […]
September 15, 2008 First Lehman Brothers and now this: There is a “closed” sign on the door at The Wisconsin Sports Bar. And how ironic that this happens on the day that Ned Yost gets canned from the Brewers. WSB has been a daily read for a long time now, so hopefully this is just […]
