April 16, 2008 Better late than never, we finally have the Packers 2008 schedule. I hope the league used the extra time to prepare themselves for the visceral reaction by Mike Vandermause. Youch! To me this has a similar look and feel as last year’s slate, only substitute the AFC South for the NFC East […]
September 19, 2006 posted under: Badgers in the NFL, Chris Chambers, Jim Leonhard, Owen Daniels Former Badger tight end Owen Daniels made his first impact in the NFL this weekend, catching four passes and scoring a touchdown for the Houston Texans in a losing effort against the Colts. The fourth-round draft pick racked up 45 […]
November 17, 2006 posted under: Lions suck, Matt Millen sucks If you’ve been reading Brats & Beer for any length of time, it should be clear — and I’ve stated as much — that I’m not a particularly good person, especially when it comes to football. I utterly despise Vikings fans and hope one day […]
November 21, 2005 posted under: Iowa State basketball The ISU men’s basketball team faced a tough opponent in Mountain State to open the regular season, but the Cyclones answered the bell with a 101-82 victory at Hilton Coliseum last night. Curtis Stinson led the team with 35 points while Jiri Hubalek had 10 boards. The […]
November 3, 2005 posted under: Packers, Pre-game, Steelers Well, well, well. Looks like ol’ Charlie Batch will be starting Sunday against the Packers. I doubt that Pittsburgh will call even a single pass play. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
January 29, 2008 posted under: Bob Harlan, Clay Bennett By way of Can’t Stop The Bleeding, here’s a story that will make you thankful that the Green Bay Packers are a community-owned team. Seattle SuperSonics owner Clay Bennett the other night got heckled — actually, not even that — by a fan at KeyArena. Shortly […]
May 17, 2007 Well it looks like Brett Favre will be attending this weekend’s mini camp after all. According to an article at Packersnews.com, Favre’s agent Bus Cook told ESPN that the three-time MVP “got to thinking about it and, again, he felt that getting to minicamp was just the right thing to do.” So […]
November 11, 2007 Way to go Wisconsin Badgers! Too bad it won’t get UW into a major bowl game, but such is life. Still, it was an impressive win over Michigan, one that should inspire the team to another bowl victory, where ever that might be. Now everyone will say that maybe the Wolverines were […]
July 14, 2006 posted under: Gil Brandt, Packers, polls A couple weeks ago Gil Brandt offered his ridiculously brief and shallow “60-second previews” of all 32 NFL teams. (And judging by the number of spelling and grammatical errors, it appears he spent all of a minute writing the piece.) He ranks Green Bay #22 and […]
February 5, 2008 After going back and forth over the weekend I ended up finally watching the Super Bowl. It was pretty tough during the first quarter because all I could think about was how the Packers should have been there in their white road jerseys instead of the Giants, but it ended up being […]
January 27, 2008 As if Wisconsinites didn’t have enough to feel glum about right now, yesterday was a bad day for the Dairyland. First, the UW men’s basketball team fell to Purdue on the road 60-56 in a tight game that came right down to the final play. Trailing by two with 10 seconds to […]
July 2, 2006 I came across an interesting thread at Football Outsiders the other day discussing a column at SI.com by Mike Silver ranking the team owners in the NFL. (Yes, it is definitely the dog days of summer when making a list of billionaires passes as journalism.) To cut to the meat of the […]
October 12, 2006 I hate to say this, but I am so happy there’s not a Packers game this Sunday to mess up the weekend. I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy some football without all the stress of worrying about Green Bay. I will, of course, be rooting for Wisconsin on Saturday, but […]
September 3, 2007 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. Over the weekend the […]
