April 29, 2008 posted under: Kregg Lumpkin, Packers Ted Thompson is not one to shy away from gambling on young players who have bounced back from injuries. Last year’s #1 draft pick Justin Harrell had missed most of his senior year after suffering a ruptured biceps tendon, and Ryan Grant missed his second year in […]
July 31, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, retirement When it’s a job. Tom Silverstein reports at the JS Packers Blog that the $20 million payoff idea was actually a scheme proposed to Favre back in March that would pay No. 4 to make public appearances and take part in team marketing events. According to Silverstein, […]
July 30, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, Mark Murphy, retirement Bill could get a trade deal done. Team president Mark Murphy boarding a private jet for Hattiesburg in the dead of night? I doubt the action at Mugshots is worth a three hour flight, so my guess is he’s heading up a peace delegation to […]
August 31, 2006 According to reports from ESPN and the St. Paul Pioneer Press, former Badgers quarterback Brooks Bollinger will be calling Minnesota home this football season. The Vikings traded defensive tackle CJ Mosley and a draft pick to the Jets to get the fourth-year veteran backup. Apparently coach Brad Childress wanted someone not named […]
August 31, 2008 posted under: Packers, Ted Thompson We might be in the middle of a long holiday weekend, but this will not be a day of rest for Ted Thompson. There are still some holes to fill in the Packers 53-man roster, signings for the practice squad, and a press conference scheduled for 2pm. […]
April 16, 2008 posted under: Packers Better late than never, we finally have the Packers 2008 schedule. I hope the league used the extra time to prepare themselves for the visceral reaction by Mike Vandermause. Youch! To me this has a similar look and feel as last year’s slate, only substitute the AFC South for […]
September 9, 2008 posted under: Packers, Post-game, Vikings suck Still a little dazed and confused after last night, but what a good feeling after watching the Packers tough out a season-opening victory over the Vikings. Overall it was a sloppy performance with way too many penalties, but Aaron Rodgers was the model of efficiency, his […]
January 30, 2008 All season long he’s kept his nose clean, kept his yap shut, and played lights-out football, but given the biggest stage in the world at the Super Bowl Randy Moss decided to unload on the Green Bay Packers. Asked by Tom Silverstein of the Journal Sentinel about his talks with the Packers […]
November 5, 2006 GBFan at The Wisconsin Sports Bar posted yesterday a request for help trying to locate Packer bars and Badger bars outside the state of Wisconsin. There are a lot of us ex-pat Midwesterners living in far flung corners of the country where the alternatives for watching the games are usually pretty grim. […]
July 27, 2008 Peter King is fulfilling his destiny at last. After years of fawning over Brett Favre and cultivating his close relationship with the future Hall of Fame quarterback, King is right where he should be reporting from inside the Favre compound during the (hopefully) final few days of this sports soap opera. His […]
September 24, 2006 Okay, it wasn’t much of an assault and the final score was pretty lopsided, but I have to say that the Cyclones showed a lot of poise in their 37-14 loss to UT. Recovering from a 16-0 deficit and actually running with a nationally ranked team like Texas, even if it was […]
August 2, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, retirement Time out! Time out! Call time out! It has been well over 24 hours since anyone chartered a plane, ruled on reinstatement, extended or accepted a bribe personal services contract offer, or sent a text message to Ed Werder. All the parties involved — the Packers, Brett […]
January 2, 2007 I love the way the holidays always come to a close with over-indulgence in food, drink and football, though I’m not sure which hangover is the toughest to beat. Well, it was a fine couple days for Wisconsin football with both the Packers winning in Chicago and the Badgers closing out their […]
October 23, 2007 Wisconsin men’s basketball coach Bo Ryan is nuts. First there was the hambone last year, now he’s bustin’ moves to “Soulja Boy.” I’m just glad he coaches for the Badgers and not against them. (Thanks to the JS Badger Blog for spotting this video.)
