March 10, 2008 At least we know that Brett Favre has something to do in his retirement, namely riding around in his new $9,000 golf cart. The custom-built cart was built by Harris Golf Carts in Peosta, Iowa, and delivered by Scott Harris, who happens to be the cousin of Packers personnel analyst John Schneider. […]
December 8, 2005 My brother and I are quite different in many ways. He lives back home in Iowa, I live here in Texas. He is carefree and single, I am married (happily, I might add). He is “between jobs,” I have my dignity wrung from my soul on a daily basis by corporate America. […]
It sounds like newly-released safety Mark Roman might be headed for San Francisco. Niners site 49ersnews.com reports that SF head coach Mike Nolan appears interested in signing the disgruntled former Packer, but they’re still doing their “homework” as negotiations take place. I imagine that’s subtle code for “How little can we pay a guy who […]
January 10, 2006 The Milwaukee Bucks survived a late charge by the Timberwolves to come away with a 95-92 victory, snapping a three-game losing streak. Michael Redd was the top scorer with 22 points and seven rebounds. James Magloire hit six of 11 from the field and 15 total points, while Tony Kukoc added 14 […]
June 15, 2006 I’m sure you’ve all heard by now about the misfortunes of former Vikings running back Onterrio Smith, but for those who have been out of the country let me briefly recap: The Whizzinator got himself suspended from the NFL for violations of the banned substances policy (he likes to smoke the ganja), […]
Posted on November 26, 2007 Cause suicide is painless, It brings on many changes, And I can take or leave it if I please I’ve never seen Dr. Pat McKenzie on camera but hopefully he’s channeling Hawkeye Pierce and his zany antics to keep his sanity amid the madness of Green Bay’s injury situation. The […]
April 27, 2008 Every year when the NFL Draft rolls around I question the wisdom of actually following the action in real time. I mean I could just get out of the house and do something — I dunno, productive — and then check out the news later to get the lowdown on what happened. […]
February 11, 2006 Sat down last night to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Yes, I know it’s cornball and overblown, but it is nice to see, even in this day when there’s so much big money involved, that one honest moment of joy when the athletes are saluted by the stadium crowd. For […]
May 24, 2007 That’s done as in finished, at and end, over and out. Keyshawn is retiring from the NFL and Robert Ferguson lives to see another day. But that’s okay because I’ve changed my mind about the veteran wide receiver: Clearly he has a selfish, “there’s no team in I” attitude that would have […]
March 8, 2007 The Badgers are getting ready to tip off in the Big 10 tournament tomorrow, but for a I thought I’d go off topic here to rant about something I read recently. Earlier this week some office in the federal bureaucracy called the Copyright Royalty Board decided to basically double the amount of […]
Posted on December 20, 2007 With two games left in the regular season and a playoff schedule looming after that, is it too early to start thinking about next year for the Packers? Coach Mike McCarthy might think so, but that hasn’t stopped the patrons over at The Wisconsin Sports Bar from ruminating on the […]
Posted on December 28, 2005 Milwaukee came up short for a second night in a row, falling to the Miami Heat 98-109. Mo Williams and Michael Redd combined for 45 points, but it wasn’t enough against Dwayne Wade’s game-leading effort to score 35 and Shaq’s 23 points. The Bucks also turned the ball over 18 […]
July 2, 2006 Bucks Nation seems to be enjoying its Fourth of July holiday so far, following word that the team traded TJ Ford to Toronto for Charlie Villanueva. Cheesehead Craig at Oracle of Cheese hilariously likens the deal to getting a 20oz. T-Bone and $10 for a double cheeseburger, while Bucks Dairy offers Raptors […]
August 17, 2006 The first round of pre-season games last weekend made the perfect stage for a couple rookies from Iowa State and Wisconsin to make their professional football debut. Linebacker Tim Dobbins had a great first outing (unfortunately) for the Chargers against the Packers Saturday night. The fifth-round pick out of ISU recorded four […]
