April 28, 2006 Brett Favre may have decided to return to Green Bay for another season, but will he have anyone to throw to? The Green Bay Press-Gazette is reporting today that Donald Driver has asked the Packers to restructure his contract or trade him to another team. The news comes just as Green Bay […]
February 26, 2006 Like with the Badgers, I turn my head for a minute to watch the Olympics and my Cyclones have some tough luck thrown their way on the ice. ISU went into the CSCHL tournament last weekend as the #3 seed and knocked off host Western Michigan 4-3 in the first round. Then […]
April 15, 2008 Today was supposed to be a great day of celebrating my freedom from Time Warner Cable, but the Evil Empire thwarted my plans. I guess escaping from tyranny — even the corporate variety — is never easy. The AT&T phone guys arrived today promptly within the window of time they said they […]
October 11, 2007 This weekend while the Badgers are trying to get back their mojo against Penn State, the alma mater Iowa State will be hosting Texas at Jack Trice Stadium. The lowly Cyclones are 1-5 this year with the single win coming against the Iowa Hawkeyes (cue Nelson: “Ha Ha!”), so it’s not hard […]
November 3, 2005 Man, the games don’t get any bigger than this weekend when the Badgers visit Penn State. With the two teams tied for first and only a few games remaining, this one should decide the Big 10 championship. Get your grills started early cause you won’t want to miss a second of this […]
December 2, 2007 Have we all recovered yet from America’s night out at the sports bar? I’m still a little hoarse but my voice is slowly coming back, and the void in my soul is filling with thoughts of the remaining four games, the possibility of going 14-2, and a titanic rematch against Dallas in […]
October 19, 2007 This weekend’s game against Northern Illinois couldn’t have come at a better time with the Badgers riding a two-game skid. On the other hand, a loss to the Huskies would definitely put a quick end to the season. Despite the fact that NIU is 1-6 this year they’re probably not a team […]
April 26, 2008 With the first day of the draft complete, the Packers have three new faces for the roster: WR Jordy Nelson (36), QB Brian Brohm (56), and CB Patrick Lee (60). Overall I’d say it was a solid effort by Ted Thompson and his staff, even if he did get booed again at […]
November 9, 2007 With the 2007 football season drawing to a close, the Wisconsin Badgers have one more huge game before the obligatory bookend against the Gophers. Michigan is coming to Madison and an upset Saturday could mean redemption for a banged up program. Over at the Wisconsin Sports Bar, the prevailing thought is that […]
October 23, 2006 Green Bay had several obstacles to overcome yesterday — their own ineptitude, an experienced (a nice way of saying old) Dolphins defense, and about 40 years worth of history — but the Packers succeeded in getting a 34-24 win in Miami anyway. It was an ugly win to be sure, but when […]
December 24, 2007 We all know the legend of the Green Bay Packers and cold-weather football: The Ice Bowl, Brett Favre’s winning record when the temperature is below freezing, the advantage of playing on the Frozen Tundra in January. Yesterday at Soldier Field, someone replaced that team with the Bizzaro Packers. Bottom line, cold or […]
Posted on October 28, 2007 Even in this college football season where nothing has gone according to the script, it’s good to see one constant remains: I still can’t predict football games to save my life. Yes, I did pick the Badgers to win over Indiana yesterday, but was it a close game? Far from […]
Posted on August 25, 2007 How are blogs and bloggers different from the mainstream media and professional journalists? Paychecks and access come to mind, but in one aspect they are exactly the same: we all love free publicity. With that I give a shout out to the Bleacher Bloggers who quoted your’s truly in an […]
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. According to an […]
