December 31, 2006 posted under: effin Bears, Packers, Pre-game According to the Wikipedia, bears evolved from a dog-sized raccoon-like creature called Cephalogale and are part of the same family of mammals as weasles. I believe that goes for Bears fans as well. So here it is, the last day of 2006 and the end of […]
January 25, 2006 posted under: Marquette The Golden Eagles won their third consecutive game tonight, defeating DePaul 62-47. Dan Fitzgerald came off the bench to led Marquette with a career-high 18 points, while Dominic James scored 12 and Jerel McNeal put in 11 more. Marquette took the advantage early and led by 12 points at […]
April 30, 2006 posted under: AJ Hawk, Greg Jennings, NFL Draft, Packers, Ted Thompson Two days and 255 picks later, the 2006 NFL Draft is finally over, so how did the Packers do? Pretty well, I’d say. There were no obvious goofs or gaffes we’ll be smarting from in the next few months, and we […]
January 6, 2008 The NFL Wildcard weekend wrapped up today and the good news is the Packers are still in the playoffs. Okay, that was kind of lame, but I haven’t posted here for like 10 days so cut me a little slack. Seattle won its first-round game against the Washington Redskins with the reward […]
January 30, 2006 posted under: Bucks In a game that probably shouldn’t have been close, the Bucks managed to pull out a win last night, edging Boston 83-79. The weird part about it is both teams were 31-77 from the field, but Milwaukee hit six of nine from three point range and made 15 of […]
January 17, 2007 posted under: effin Bears, NFL playoffs I apologize for the tardiness of this post, but Brats & Beer has been undergoing a move to a new hosting account. An unpleasant and frustrating endeavor, I hope it results in less downtime and improved responsiveness. Before that bit of necessary evil befell me, I […]
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 […]
January 6, 2006 posted under: Blogs, Brad Childress, Nietzsche or Nitschke?, Vikings suck It’s official, the Minnesota Vikings have hired Brad Childress as their new head coach. The decision came quickly (so quickly, in fact, that he cancelled a planned interview in Green Bay) after the team interviewed just a couple other coaches for the […]
December 13, 2005 posted under: Lions, Packers, Post-game Okay, I know everyone is upset, confused, or maybe downright pissed about the safety reversal call Sunday night. (Though the Detroit Free Press seemed to take it in stride as just another sign of how bad the Lions are and went right back to calling for Millen’s […]
October 17, 2006 That was one hell of a game last night, certainly a lot more of a game than anyone, including ESPN, thought it was going to be. If only the Bears could have somehow lost it would have been perfect, but it is the Cardinals we’re talking about here. And don’t forget Dennis […]
November 29, 2005 posted under: Iowa State, Veishea Looks like the powers that be at ISU have decided to lift prohibition during Veishea. The annual Spring celebration has been a dry event since 1998 due to rioting and vandalism that has occasionally broken out and was cancelled this past year in response to a disturbance […]
February 7, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, Packers In a simpler time long ago, Brett Favre was just a snot-nosed kid out of Southern Mississippi who happened to complete a game-winning touchdown against the Bengals after Don Majkowski got injured and couldn’t return. Then he got to talk to Bob Costas co-hosts Buddy Ryan and […]
November 6, 2007 Spotted a small item over at Every Day Should Be Saturday regarding our old friend, former Packers head coach and draft day guru Mike Sherman. It seems his name is being tossed around as a possible replacement at Texas A&M should the school decide to buyout Dennis Franchione’s contract after this season. […]
November 7, 2006 This is absolute gold. Courtesy of Deadspin, here’s a picture of U of Iowa quarterback Drew Tate wearing tights. The claim is the picture is from Halloween, but I’m pretty sure this is a typical night out for Tate and his tights-wearing butt posse. It would be a crime if Wisconsin doesn’t […]
