August 1, 2007 Not a whole lot of news coming out of Green Bay today since coach Mike McCarthy decided to give the team the day off. (Day off from practice? I don’t think coach Lombardi would have approved.) But that doesn’t mean we can’t talk a little bit about the Packers. So far training […]
September 17, 2006 posted under: Badgers football I’ll come right out and admit it: I suck at predicting games, especially when it comes to teams I root for. Of course it would help if I rooted for teams like the Indianapolis Colts because then I could predict victory every week and be right most of […]
December 5, 2007 posted under: Aaron Rodgers If newly-hired Packers CEO Mark Murphy wants to earn some props, he’d bring a faith healer or a shaman to Green Bay to lay hands on Aaron Rodgers, because the latest news out of the Hutson Center is not good. The Packers backup quarterback, who preformed admirably in […]
December 18, 2007 posted under: Cowboys, NFL, Wade Phillips Big props to the Philadelphia Eagles for playing tough defense all afternoon and scoring just enough to hang a second loss on the Cowboys. Now we just need the Redskins to play for pride in the final weekend of football and Green Bay could be hosting […]
September 10, 2007 posted under: Eagles, Packers, Post-game In my haste to post about yesterday’s game, I don’t think I said nearly enough about the awesomeness that was the Green Bay defense. A lot of commentators will ascribe the Eagles loss to J.R. Reed and Greg Lewis, but the Packers deserve a lot of credit […]
June 16, 2006 posted under: Admirals, Calder Cup The Hershey Bears proved to be too much for the Admirals, besting Milwaukee 5-1 last night at the Bradley Center to win the Calder Cup in six games. The Bears jumped out to an early lead once again, with net minder Pekka Rinne giving up two goals […]
February 27, 2008 posted under: Blog stuff, Blogs, Cheesehead TV, Railbird Central, Titletowns Okay they’re ready with the envelope. “And the winner is . . . ” Railbird Central, wtf? Alright, let’s try and compose ourselves. You’re still on camera, so smile. Applaud. Keep smiling and applauding like some idiot who can’t stop smiling and […]
September 25, 2007 posted under: Las Vegas, vacation I got asked by a couple people about the trip to Vegas, but you know the saying. Overall, though, it was a really great time there — it truly is an adult playground. Without giving away too much, here’s a few quick notes and thoughts: The MGM […]
April 30, 2006 posted under: Vikings suck First, a confession: For the past several weeks my mind has been distracted by “real life” away from the Packers and football in general, as you can see by the large time gap between posts here at Brats & Beer. I have taken appropriate steps, though, by admitting […]
November 13, 2005 posted under: Falcons, Packers, Post-game Excuse my French, but man what a game. I hoped, of course, that Green Bay would win, but I never thought the Packers would dominate the Falcons that way. The held Atlanta to 325 yards and just 133 yards rushing, which might not seem like much until […]
March 4, 2008 posted under: Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, retirement 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 […]
September 24, 2007 It was sad to see my vacation in Las Vegas come to an end, but I was plenty glad to be home to enjoy Green Bay’s huge victory over the San Diego Chargers today. What a performance by Brett Favre, who threw for 369 yards and three touchdowns and tied Dan Marino’s […]
December 29, 2005 posted under: Iowa State basketball Iowa State closed out its non-conference schedule with four straight wins after defeating the Tennessee State 59-51 at Hilton Coliseum last night. A slow start by ISU allowed the Tigers to take a 10-0 lead, but the Clones regrouped and closed the first half with a 20-10 […]
July 13, 2007 posted under: Packers, training camp It’s been a nice off-season break from posting/bitching/fretting about the Packers but training camp is ready to start in about two weeks, so I figure I better shake the dust off this blog and see if it still works. While we’re waiting for some actual news from […]
