November 5, 2007 posted under: Badgers football, Blogs, Halftime Adjustments The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is a fine newspaper that on most days does an adequate job of covering the Wisconsin sports scene. Yesterday, though, the city’s paper of record went above and beyond in the insight department discoursing on the Badgers loss to Ohio State: […]
November 18, 2006 posted under: Packers, Patriots, Pre-game A lot of columnists and commentators out there are sighting up this week’s game between the Packers and Patriots as a duel between Brett Favre and Tom Brady, the old gunslinger vs. the new, and that’s probably not a bad lens through which to view this contest. […]
November 5, 2006 posted under: Bills, Packers, Post-game Thank goodness for beer and the love of a good woman because right now those are the only things keeping the barrel of a gun our of my mouth. Christ Almighty, it’s bad enough when the Packers lose to another team, but why do they have to […]
April 24, 2008 posted under: Beer, Blogs, Brew Blog While blogging is slowly making inroads into mainstream media outlets and other corporate environments, there aren’t yet a lot of 9 to 5, regular paycheck jobs out there for bloggers. James Arndorfer, though, has landed a pretty good gig running Brew Blog for Miller Brewing. According […]
April 7, 2007 posted under: Nick Barnett, Packers With nary a free agent signing in the offing and no protracted Brett Favre tractor watch to obsess over, this has been the quietest, boringest off-season is many, many years. How long until the draft? But there is at least some good news coming out of Packerland, […]
December 12, 2006 posted under: Lambeau Field, Packers Artificial turf at Lambeau Field? In the immortal words of the immortal Vince Lombardi, “What the Hell is going on out there?” Last week the Green Bay Packers announced they plan to replace the Frozen Tundra next year with a new surface called DD GrassMaster, described as […]
February 6, 2006 posted under: Badgers basketball, Badgers hockey, Bucks, Iowa State basketball, Iowa State hockey, Marquette The wife and I spent most of the weekend getting ready for yesterday’s Super Bowl party, so I missed a lot of other sports action this weekend, but looking at the scores maybe it was best I did. […]
March 28, 2006 posted under: Billy Cundiff, Packers, World Baseball Classic It’s funny how this blogging thing works: you get on a roll posting every day, or multiple times a day, and it starts to become a part of your regular routine, but you only have to take a couple days off to fall right […]
May 14, 2006 posted under: Joey Harrington, Lions suck, Matt Millen I really wanted to post something uproariously funny about the fact that the Lions traded quarterback Joey Harrington to Miami, but despite the collective wisdom of several lagers consumed this evening, all I can come up with are these salient points: Matt Millen drafted […]
October 29, 2006 posted under: Cardinals, Packers, Post-game Two in a row. Say it with me, two in a row. Green Bay defeated the Arizona Cardinals today 31-14, giving the Packers back to back wins for the first time since the end of the 2004 season. Not to mention the fact that the Green & […]
June 3, 2008 Warning to Brown County criminal masterminds: Avoid breaking into homes occupied by members of the Green Bay Packers. Apparently a couple douchebags broke into the home of Noah Herron and one of them ended up in the hospital when the Packers running back used “justifiable force in protecting his life and property” […]
January 27, 2008 posted under: Badgers basketball, Badgers hockey, Christina Thompson, Miss America 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 […]
November 16, 2005 posted under: Bucks After a 4-1 start, Milwaukee ran into some problems out West against the LA Clippers last night. Maurice Williams, Michael Redd, and Bobby Simmons were all well below 50% shooting and the team only took seven three-point shots. Los Angeles was on fire, though, led by Sam Cassell’s 23 […]
October 30, 2006 posted under: Brian Urlacher, effin Bears, Tyna Robinson Obviously there’s no love lost around these parts for any member of the Chicago Bears, least of all Brian Urlacher. On the other hand, I would never wish this kind of psycho dilemma on anybody. (Thanks to RebuildingYear.com for the link.) The pro bowl […]
