October 31, 2006 Hi, Michael Bidwill here. You know me and the old man were talking, and we’re not real happy about the way this season is going. I mean, we sold out our season tickets for the first time in like a hundred years at our brand new stadium, we even got some fool […]

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 […]

January 5, 2009 First Monday of the New Year and the Packers make some big staff moves, mainly moving people out. Six — count ‘em — six assistants were fired this morning, including Bob Sanders and a good chunk of his defensive underlings. Secondary coach Kurt Schottenheimer was let go, which has been a long […]

October 27, 2008 While taking in the gospel brunch at Stubb’s BBQ was a mighty fine way to spend the Packers bye week Sunday, I’m glad to say it’s finally time to get back to football. As I write this post, Green Bay’s next opponent, the Tennessee Titans, are tied with the Colts late in […]

July 31, 2008 When it’s a job. Tom Silverstein reports at the JS Packers Blog that the $20 million payoff idea was actually a scheme proposed to Favre back in March that would pay No. 4 to make public appearances and take part in team marketing events. According to Silverstein, the Dolphins did something similar […]

April 30, 2008 One of the more hilarious, although increasingly annoying, sentiments to come out of the NFL Draft weekend is has been this general opinion among certain mainstream media scribes that by selecting Brian Brohm in the second round, Ted Thompson has sent a message that he and Mike McCarthy have serious doubts about […]

August 31, 2007 I love days were I get in three posts, and what better way to end it than with something about the Wisconsin Badgers? UW opens its 2007 campaign tomorrow at Camp Randall against Washington State and I feel pretty confident they’ll get off to a very good start. The Badgers are looking […]

March 28, 2007 Which NFL team has the greatest fan base in the league? Considering the Packers have missed the playoffs for two years in a row, suffered two shutout losses at home last year, and have done little in the free agent market under the watch of general manager Ted Thompson, and yet the […]

September 29, 2006 The next opponent on Iowa State’s football schedule is the Panthers of the University of Northern Iowa. Some of you might not know much about UNI, so today I thought I’d give a brief tutorial on this fine and august institution. The school was founded as the Iowa State Normal School in […]

December 22, 2008 At the end of a disappointing season, some “stars” in the NFL might be interested only in their own stats — or worse yet throw their teammates under the bus for not contributing enough. Not so with Packers wide reciever James Jones. After an injury-riddled year, his frustration is that he couldn’t […]

March 28, 2008 First off let me say congratulations to Davidson for winning their NCAA tournament game tonight, but no way are they a better team than the Wisconsin Badgers. I mean, Davidson plays in some kind of makeshift JV league, they’re all 5′9″ and 110 lbs., they all have mommies and daddies who tell […]

July 31, 2007 It took a couple days but finally our two supersized defensive linemen, Johnny Jolly and Ryan Pickett, finally passed their physicals and can join the rest of the team in practice. I know it’s not that big of a deal since neither is a starter, but both Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy […]

February 25, 2007 Realizing that I hadn’t posted anything here in a long while, I decided that my plan would be to wait until after today’s Wisconsin-Ohio State game. That way, I figured, I could ramble on about how the Badgers were No. 1 once again and on track to win the Big 10 regular […]

November 28, 2006 The Packer fan in me is still horribly depressed after that huge, embarrassing loss to the Seahawks last night, but the Cyclone fan in me is terribly impressed, surprised and suddenly quite optimistic about the future now that Iowa State has hired Gene Chizik as head football coach. This has to be […]
