Posted on October 29, 2006 There’s a part of me that’s obviously happy for Seneca Wallace getting his big chance in the National Football League as the starting quarterback for the Seahawks; he was a great player for Iowa State and he finally gets a chance to put on a show for the NFL crowd. […]
August 5, 2006 If you missed it on ESPN, Takeru Kobayashi won the Johnsonville bratwurst eating contest today at Brat Days in Sheboygan, consuming a world record 58 brats in 10 minutes. Fifty eight bratwursts? Holy crap. That’s like 15 pounds of food, for crying out loud. Two brats in a sitting is usually enough […]
December 29, 2005 Wisconsin cruised to an easy win last night, defeating Louisiana Tech 78-52 at the Kohl Center. Brian Butch had a double-double with 18 points and 10 boards to lead the 24th ranked Badgers, while Nixon scored 14 points and Tucker added 11 more. UW advances its record to 10-1 with one more […]
November 23, 2007 Sweet Jebus, thank you for delivering the Green Bay Packers from the clutches of ineptitude and stupid penalties and granting them a victory over Detroit. Amen. The Thanksgiving Classic yesterday between the Packers and Lions was very much like the typical family Turkey Day meal: There’s some jostling and cajoling when the […]
July 14, 2007 Coming out of my off-season hiatus and catching up on some reading, I was stunned to learn that the founder of Johnsonville Sausage passed away a couple weeks ago. (Thanks to the Oracle of Cheese for posting on this news.) Ralph Strayer was 92 when he died at a nursing home in […]
By now you’ve all probably heard or read the rumor that Brett Favre asked the Packers to be traded after the Randy Moss deal fell apart. The amazing part of the story, to me anyway, is that it was FOX Sports and not ESPN that got the scoop on this one. Was Chris Mortensen taking […]
December 18, 2005 Making their first Division III championship appearance in almost 40 years, Wisconsin-Whitewater fell short against Mount Union, 28-35. The Purple Radiers played tough defense to turn away the Warhawks on five possessions in Mount Union territory after scoring on their opening drive. Wisconsin-Whitewater rallied in the fourth quarter to score 21 points […]
Posted on 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 […]
Brendan from the food blog endless simmer dropped off a note here the other day about a post they did on the best eats for drunk college students at the 64 NCAA tournament schools. UW managed to come in 10th in their rankings with a Mac ‘n Cheese pizza from Ian’s Pizza in Madison. Now […]
August 4, 2007 In his quest to see each and every Starbucks location in this country, Peter King is once again traveling the highways and byways to visit all the NFL teams’ training camps this Fall, filing his reports to SI.com under the title “Postcards from Camp.” Yesterday he was in Green Bay, so what […]
May 1, 2007 I know there’s a fair number of Packer fans disappointed that Green Bay was unsuccessful in trading Oakland for the services of Randy Moss, but maybe the sun has peek from behind that cloud. The Carolina Panthers released Keyshawn Johnson today after drafting Dwayne Jerrett out of USC over the weekend. Now […]
July 15, 2008 The Green & Gold blogosphere has been alive and buzzing all day in the wake of Brett Favre’s “On The Record” appearance with Greta Van Susteren last night. Here’s a sample of links to some of the opinions floating around out there in the electronic ether: Cheesehead TV thought the interview was […]
November 17, 2005 As if drawing 11 penalties in nine games isn’t bad enough, Ahmad Carroll is now looking at a possible fine from coach Sherman for his conduct during Green Bay’s 33-25 victory over the Falcons. I missed this in the highlights, but after stripping the ball from Roddy White in the final quarter, […]
May 2, 2006 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 media, to the outspoken of […]
