September 9, 2007 posted under: Iowa State football Sweet sons of Donnie Duncan, what is happening to the Iowa State Cyclones? The Gene Chizik era is starting to look less like a revival and more like a Jim Walden-inspired nightmare. The Clones got taken to woodshed by Northern Iowa last night 24-13; the defense got […]
January 10, 2006 posted under: Packers, Terrell Owens, Woody Paige Woody Paige, one of the babbling, slobbering, rabble of talking heads on ESPN, is quoted as saying on the dispensable “1st & 10″ today that the Green Bay Packers would be the most likely team to sign wayward wide receiver Terrell Owens once he is […]
October 14, 2006 posted under: Badgers football There wasn’t much doubt that Wisconsin was going to win today over the Gophers, but my goodness what a shellacking. But before I get into it, a personal word to Ken DeBauche: You’re up by a zillion points, don’t try to pass the ball when there’s a bad […]
February 9, 2007 posted under: effin Bears, NFL, Super Bowl If it’s possible to induce a coma by overeating, I’m pretty sure that during the Super Bowl I came about as close as one dare before actually requiring hospitalization. I seriously need to check out hypno-therapy to curtail my piggish behavior on game days, I […]
February 6, 2008 Packer Nation was all abuzz last week after the Journal Sentinel ran an article in which Ron Wolf blasted Mike Holmgren for blowing it in Super Bowl XXXII. Wolf called the Packers former head coach “pig-headed” and blamed the loss to the Broncos on Holmgren’s refusal to make adjustments during the game. […]
September 21, 2006 posted under: Badgers football There seems to be a bit of concern and consternation — nearly bordering on hysteria and panic — out there in Badgerland with this weekend’s game against Michigan looming larger. Wisconsin has not fared well at the Big House (winless since 1994) so I guess it’s understandable, but […]
January 10, 2006 posted under: Iowa State basketball As if the Longhorns haven’t won enough things in the past week, Iowa State failed to hold its home court last night and fell to Texas 58-78. Clark and Blalock led the team with 18 and 17 points, respectively, but the Clones gave up 20 points to […]
October 26, 2007 Wow, with two losses a lot of wind has been taken out of the sails of this Badger football season. Can they finish with eight wins and get to some kind of decent bowl game, or will they be relegated to the Regional Flora or Lawn Implement Bowl? The game tomorrow against […]
May 9, 2008 The writing was on the wall when Ted Thompson selected Jordy Nelson first in the draft that either Koren Robinson or Ruvell Martin would probably be on the short list to be cut from the Packers roster. Today that list got shorter: Robinson has been released. Robinson is 28 now, which doesn’t […]
April 30, 2007 posted under: Justin Harrell, NFL Draft, Packers, Ted Thompson With the NFL Draft finally over, the one thing I can say with some certainty is that I really have to have the NFL Network for next year’s draft coverage. I caught a little bit through NFL.com on Saturday and while it wasn’t […]
January 6, 2006 posted under: Badgers basketball Wisconsin opened its Big 10 basketball schedule with a 66-52 victory of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Huzzah! Tucker led the effort with 27 points, while Taylor pumped in 11 to help the Badgers advance to 11-2 on the season. UW took a 45-35 lead early in the second half […]
May 17, 2007 posted under: Brett Favre, Packers 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 […]
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 […]
