May 2, 2006 posted under: NFL Draft, Packers Well, here it is two days after the end of the NFL Draft, and I find myself in uncharted waters. Everywhere I look, I seem to encounter the same sort of conclusions about Green Bay’s draft day performance: It went okay. From the “experts” in the national […]
January 11, 2007 There’s a lot of familiar names circulating in the news today as the coaching carousel goes round and round. Unfortunately, Kurt Schottenheimer is not among those being bandied about for open positions; I’m secretly hoping he’ll get offered a chance to coach in the NFL Europe, far, far from Green Bay’s secondary. […]
April 26, 2008 posted under: Jordy Nelson, NFL Draft, Packers Well what a long wait just to get to the #30 pick and then Ted Thompson trades down — big surprise! — into the second round, but at long last we have our first name: WR Jordy Nelson from Kansas State. Who? Just keep repeating […]
December 13, 2005 Be sure and get to NFL.com soon and vote Samkon Gado for rookie of the week honors. Young Sam gained 171 yards and scored a 64-yard touchdown Sunday night, the least we can do is give him a small honor. Sammy is leading the tally with 50% of the vote so far, […]
June 16, 2006 I came across a link on Every Day Should be Saturday to an analysis of school mascots at Golden Tornado. Running down the Big 12, Nathan reaches the spot-on conclusion that ISU’s mascot sucks. Speaking as an alumnus and faithful supporter of the Cyclones, I’ll be the first to admit that Cy […]
November 28, 2005 I’ve run out of things to say about the Packers’ loss yesterday, so here’s a sampling of comments from other blogs: Whatever Sherman is doing at halftime for adjustments is atrocious. He is simply being outcoached by the opposing defensive coordinator. His offense is not giving the defense a chance. Given the […]
November 29, 2007 posted under: Badgers football, Outback Bowl With all the attention focused on the Green Bay game in Dallas, I very nearly missed the news that the Wisconsin football team has accepted an invitation to play in the Outback Bowl this New Year’s Day. Congrats to Bret Beilema and his whole squad. I […]
February 10, 2006 posted under: Bucks I see Milwaukee managed to get back into the win column the other night with a 94-89 victory over the Magic in double overtime. Michael Redd came through with the go-ahead three-pointer after shooting 0-3 in the first overtime. He led the team with 27 points despite a 10-30 […]
November 20, 2006 posted under: Badgers football, Iowa State football, Nintendo Wii, Packers, Thanksgiving Cheers to the Wisconsin Badger football team for taking care of their business against Buffalo and closing out the season with an 11-1 record. They also got a bump in both the polls and the bowl standings, rising to #10 in […]
March 19, 2008 posted under: Brady Poppinga, Brandon Chillar, free agency, Ted Thompson The long wait is over for the Green Bay Packers to make a move in free agency: Brandon Chillar has signed with the team. Ted Thompson signed the former Rams linebacker to a two-year deal worth somewhere north of $5 million. It […]
January 31, 2006 I don’t want to say it’s make or break time tonight for the Badgers, but it’s almost make or break time for the Badgers tonight when they face off against Illinois. Wisconsin is tied in a log jam at the top of the Big 10 standings with Michigan, Iowa, and the Illini […]
October 30, 2006 posted under: Badgers in the NFL, Cyclones in the NFL, Owen Daniels, Ron Dayne, Sage Rosenfels, Seneca Wallace It still sort of boggles my mind sometimes that out of the handful of Iowa State alumni playing in the NFL, two of them are quarterbacks. Well, yesterday was a banner day for the […]
December 19, 2007 The NFL named four Green Bay players to the annual Pro Bowl team this year, including quarterback Brett Favre who was named to his ninth career selection. Favre received the most fan votes in the balloting this year with 842,167 to lead Tom Brady (776,475) and Peyton Manning (740,302). Tony Romo, the […]
October 14, 2007 posted under: Iowa State football Adding insult to my injury yesterday with the Badgers getting beat up in Happy Valley, the alma mater Cyclones got mauled by Texas 56-3. Sweet Jebus! Thee points was all Iowa State could muster. After the Longhorns blitzkrieg was complete, Bret Meyer told reporter, “Obviously we’re frustrated.” […]
