January 10, 2006 posted under: Bucks, Michael Redd 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, […]
November 6, 2005 posted under: Badgers football, Iowa State football Well, it was not a good showing yesterday for the Badgers. Penn State did a good job of hemming in the running game and forcing Wisconsin to become a passing offense, which they are not. Pretty damn depressing. But, with two games to go in […]
January 12, 2006 posted under: coaching carousel, Mike McCarthy, Packers I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Mike McCarthy is going to be the 14th head coach of the Green Bay Packers. I mean, how out of the universe of people available did Ted Thompson decide he was the guy? When […]
November 14, 2005 posted under: Falcons, Packers, Post-game Had to get up early and check the news. Was I dreaming yesterday, or did the Packers really beat the Falcons 33-25? No, it really did happen. In deference to Michael Vick’s request last week, I won’t say anything negative about his performance. That was a very […]
January 19, 2006 posted under: Badgers basketball I knew these slow starts on the road would come back to bite us in the ass. Wisconsin suffered its first Big 10 loss tonight, getting beaten by Ohio State 77-67. The Badgers we slow off the starting blocks and fell behind early, but managed to rally to […]
January 21, 2006 posted under: Marquette Marquette forward Steve Novak made a huge one last night, hitting a buzzer beater that put the Golden Eagles over Notre Dame 67-65. Novak scored 28 points in total but the tight game came down his shot with 1.1 seconds remaining. Cracked Sidewalks, as you might imagine, has a […]
December 12, 2005 posted under: Bucks Milwaukee has a small winning streak going following their 112-92 victory on the road tonight over the New York Knicks. Redd had another fine game with 31 points, while Dan Gadzuric came off the bench to score 18 to help the winning effort. With previous wins over the 76ers […]
December 23, 2005 posted under: Marquette The Golden Eagles extended their winning streak to three games with an easy 60-48 victory over Delaware State last night. Marquette scored 13 unanswered points at the end of the first half to take a 35-21 lead and the Hornets were unable to respond in the second half. Matthews […]
December 23, 2005 posted under: Bubba Franks, injury report, Packers, Ryan Flinn Two items of note today from the Green Bay news hot line. Punter BJ Sander has been placed on IR for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury when he got blindsided by Ed Reed in Monday’s loss to the […]
December 3, 2005 posted under: BCS, NCAA football Holy crap, I hope Joel Klatt and the rest of the Colorado Buffaloes got the number of that truck. 70-3? That’s just out and out ridiculous. The same goes for USC beating UCLA 66-19. Well, it’ll either be a pretty exciting game in Pasadena or one of […]
January 8, 2006 posted under: NFL playoffs It was quite a weekend of playoff football with some real surprises as to who came to play and who didn’t. One thing’s for sure: the old chestnut about defense winning championships still holds, but having a little offense doesn’t hurt. Washington escaped from Raymond James Stadium with […]
December 12, 2005 posted under: Lions, Packers, Post-game It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t pretty, and some might argue it wasn’t by the book, but the Packers got their third victory of the season by beating Detroit 16-13 in overtime. Hats off to Ryan Longwell who made three field goals, including the game winner from 28 […]
January 1, 2006 posted under: Packers, Post-game, Seahawks I don’t think that I’ve ever felt so depressed after a Packers victory. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad, thankful in fact, that Green Bay overcame the Seahawks 23-14 for their fourth and final victory this season, but there’s a lot of bitter sweetness surrounding this win. […]
November 20, 2005 posted under: Badgers football Congrats to JoePa and the Nittany Lions for winning the Big 10 title and a BCS bid. Obviously, it would have been better to see coach Alvarez get another conference championship in his last season, but things don’t always turn out the way they should (see also: Green […]
