June 16, 2006 posted under: Blogs, Bucky Badger, Cy, EDSBS I came across a link on Every Day Should be Saturday to an analysis of school mascots at Golden Tornado. Running down the Big 12, Nathan reaches the spot-on conclusion that ISU’s mascot sucks. Speaking as an alumnus and faithful supporter of the Cyclones, I’ll […]
October 23, 2006 posted under: Dolphins, Packers, Post-game 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 […]
December 31, 2006 posted under: effin Bears, Packers, Pre-game According to the Wikipedia, bears evolved from a dog-sized raccoon-like creature called Cephalogale and are part of the same family of mammals as weasles. I believe that goes for Bears fans as well. So here it is, the last day of 2006 and the end of […]
November 1, 2006 posted under: Badgers football, Packers, polls I was a little surprised, though not shocked, by the treatment of the Packers this week in the mainstream sports entertainment media. There was some comedy made of old man Brett Favre’s scramble for a touchdown and then his Lambeau Leap, all well and good, but […]
May 12, 2006 posted under: Donald Driver, Javon Walker, Packers, Ted Thompson Everyone, it seems is getting their due. Javon Walker, who was traded away to the Denver Broncos, finally got the “respect” (that’s what the kids are calling it these days) he’s been begging for: A five-year deal worth $40 million. Denver was smart, […]
February 12, 2006 posted under: Bucks Milwaukee won its second straight game last night, extending their home winning streak to five in a row with a 99-93 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats. Michael Redd scored 18 points to lead the team, while TJ Ford and Jamaal Magloire added 16 and 15, respectively. Andrew Bogut also […]
August 20, 2006 posted under: Packers, Pre-season The Packers 38-10 win last night over the Hotlanta Falcons managed to warm the cockles of Packer fans everywhere, even though everyone is already sweating their cockles off in this summer heat. It was the sort of performance we were all hoping to see from this team, and […]
September 3, 2006 posted under: Badgers football The UW Badgers opened their 2006 campaign with a big win for first year head coach Bret Beilema, rolling past Bowling Green 35-14 last night. Some questions surrounding this team were answered in the debut win and others were left to be pondered, but overall it was a […]
September 3, 2006 posted under: Mike Sherman, Najeh Davenport, Packers, Ted Thompson The biggest name and the biggest surprise in yesterday’s roster reduction announcement by Ted Thompson was running back Najeh Davenport, a fourth-round draft pick back in 2002. Even before he set foot in Green Bay, Davenport made national headlines after a night out […]
August 13, 2006 posted under: Packers, Pre-season I would like to propose the NFL competition committee consider a rule change for the preseason: A do over rule. If a team goes three and out on its first three possessions or generates less than 2.5 yards per carry or gives up a touchdown on its first […]
April 30, 2006 posted under: Bucks, NBA playoffs I was both shocked and awed last night flipping channels on the cable to see that the Milwaukee Bucks were leading the Pistons, and I was doubly surprised to find out this morning that they actually hung on to that lead to win their first game of […]
May 24, 2007 posted under: Keyshawn Johnson 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” […]
November 2, 2006 posted under: Charles Woodson, injury report, Packers First the Packers backfield gets depleted by injuries, now it looks like Charles Woodson will be sitting out of this week’s game against the Bills. The football gods are sure being fickle about shining good fortune on Green Bay. Woodson is listed as doubful due […]
March 14, 2006 posted under: ArmchairGM, web sites It’s a story as old as the Internet itself, which admittedly isn’t very old at all. A group of friends get fed up with the content/service the old media companies are offering, decide they can do it better on their own, and start building a community. Dan […]
