April 25, 2008 The Journal Sentinel reports this afternoon on its blog the Packers have placed Brett Favre on the reserve/retired list. This clears an extra roster space and salary cap room just before the draft. Despite whatever coy replies Favre may give to questions from here on out, and despite the fact he has […]
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 […]
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 […]
December 3, 2005 Almost 12 hours away from kickoff of Packers-Bears and I was trying to think of a way to sum up the season so far and three hour contest tomorrow. Fortunately, I stumbled upon Nietzsche or Nitschke? with an excellent summation of the big game and the rivalry. Wisconsin extended its unbeaten streak […]
February 27, 2006 posted under: Badgers basketball Wisconsin bounced back from their loss last week to Northwestern, defeating the Golden Gophers 80-74. Alando Tucker scored 22 points to lead the team, while freshman Kevin Gullikson added 12. Another freshamn, Joe Krabbenhoft, recorded a double-double (his first) and Kam Taylor scored 10 points. The win puts […]
January 25, 2008 Despite the prescription medication, the post-playoff funk still lingers. I have avoided most things football related this week (doctor’s orders) but I couldn’t help but read the torrent of articles from journalists and bloggers questioning why the Packers lost the NFC Championship on Sunday night. So far, though, there doesn’t seem to […]
November 26, 2005 posted under: Badgers football Nice game for Wisconsin winning 41-24 over Hawaii on the road. OK, the competition wasn’t all that tough, but it was a great performance on both sides of the ball. Calhoun had 149 yards and a touchdown, Stocco threw for two TDs and 191 yards, and the defense […]
February 1, 2008 Bill Michaels posted this image of Brett Favre’s pass that was intercepted in overtime in the NFC Championship on his SportsBubbler blog. (Thanks to WSB for the link.) I wasn’t going to post about it because it made me kind of depressed and I didn’t really have anything to say about it […]
November 1, 2006 I was a little surprised, though not shocked, by the treatment of the Packers this week in the mainstream sports entertainment media. There was some comedy made of old man Brett Favre’s scramble for a touchdown and then his Lambeau Leap, all well and good, but mostly Green Bay’s victory was cited […]
February 17, 2006 posted under: Marquette The Golden Eagles scored a huge upset last night, beating #17 Georgetown 57-51. Steve Novak powered the team to victory with 19 points; Dominic James added 16 and Jerel McNeal scored 10 more. The Hoyas held the lead until a 14-1 run gave Marquette the lead at halftime, and […]
October 21, 2007 Sad news for Packer Nation today: Max McGee, one of the stars from the Lombardi era, died yesterday after falling from the roof of his house in Minneapolis. What a 75-year-old man was on the roof of his house I don’t know, but then McGee was prone to doing things his way. […]
