September 17, 2007 There was not a lot of love and respect for the Wisconsin Badgers from the pollsters this week. Despite overcoming some first half challenges and beating The Citadel by two touchdowns, UW fell to #9 in the AP poll and remained at #7 in the coaches poll. To echo the sentiments of […]
December 14, 2007 Holiday chores and Christmas parties haven’t left a lot of time this week to worry much about the Packers game against the Rams on Sunday. Of course, there’s just not a whole lot to worry about with St. Louis. Needing two victories over the next three games to clinch a first-round bye, […]
November 14, 2006 If there’s any doubt out there that dome stadiums are a blight on society, check out this tidbit from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: A crowd of 63,924 cheered loudly when the Jumbotron screens displayed an aerial view of the Metrodome, followed by a shot of several planes streaking across a cloudy sky. At […]
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 […]
November 13, 2006 This weekend #1 Ohio State plays #2 Michigan in the biggest college football game of the year. Who will win? To find out what the experts think, I’ve invited noted ESPN commentator Lee Corso to debate the outcome with a potted plant. The potted plant says: The Ohio State – Michigan rivalry […]
January 23, 2008 Sweet Jebus I had forgotten how much I can’t stand Brent Musburger doing basketball coverage. I realize he’s a sweet, senile old man but can’t someone put him out to pasture already? It was pretty sweet though that Greg Stiemsma got to go ice fishing with Erin Andrews. The good part of […]
April 16, 2007 In about 12 days we’ll all be getting plastered with wall-to-wall coverage of the 2007 NFL Draft, from draft previews, reviews of past drafts, and draft postmortems. It will be two or three solid days of ESPN and NFL Network personalities screaming their heads off, all trying to get the scoop on […]
Posted on October 27, 2006 I’ve really been putting off writing anything about the ISU Cyclones because it just makes me damn depressed, but then I suppose that’s what this here bloggy thing is for. I just can’t believe how far this team has fallen and it doesn’t look like they are going to get […]
July 13, 2007 It’s been a nice off-season break from posting/bitching/fretting about the Packers but training camp is ready to start in about two weeks, so I figure I better shake the dust off this blog and see if it still works. While we’re waiting for some actual news from camp, here’s a little video […]
November 11, 2007 Make that win #3, thank you very much. Yes, the lowly but late-improving Iowa State Cyclones upset another visiting team from the Big 12 North, defeating Colorado 31-28 at Jack Trice Stadium yesterday. And what an impressive win it was: ISU trailed 21-0 in the first half but came back to score […]
I’m a little bit late with this, but Mike Cade has an excellent Brett Favre post at Transmissions from Grudge Harbor. It’s worth the read if for no other reason than it has the best title ever: Hell Bent 4 Leather Big props, mixed with feelings of envy. You can leave a response, or trackback […]
Posted on January 15, 2008 Apparently yesterday at a campaign stop in Florida, former NYC mayor and presidential hopeful Rudi Giuliani was asked to sign a Green Bay Packers hat. Being a NY Giants fan, of course, he refused. I guess he doesn’t care if he gets any votes from the Badger state, or maybe […]
November 26, 2006 It’s taken a lot of effort for me to finally drag my fat and lazy ass to the computer after four or five fat and lazy days off; but what glorious fat and lazy days they were. I would guess I’ve put on a good five or ten pounds the past couple […]
August 3, 2007 The 2007 USA TODAY coaches pre-season poll came out today, so I guess that means college football is really underway now. Low and behold the Wisconsin Badgers got a little love from the pollsters and placed seventh in the rankings, behind Michigan but ahead of Ohio State. Bring on the haters and […]
