March 5, 2008 Joey Harrington? At 29 and with some nice tools, Harrington seems to be a better option than some of the retreads out there. He started 10 games for the Falcons last year in the wake of the Michael Vick debacle and completed 61.8% of his passes for 2,215 yards, seven touchdowns and […]

November 5, 2007 The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is a fine newspaper that on most days does an adequate job of covering the Wisconsin sports scene. Yesterday, though, the city’s paper of record went above and beyond in the insight department discoursing on the Badgers loss to Ohio State: In short, [coach Bret Bielema] believed the […]

February 3, 2007 Our long, cold night of waiting is over. The warrior king has returned. Finally, a decision from Brett Favre that he’ll return for another season with Green Bay, and Packer Nation rejoices. And breathes a little easier. I think most fans expected him to come back, so the news isn’t really shocking, […]

September 17, 2007 posted under: Badgers football, polls 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. […]

July 30, 2007 I came across a whole post about the Packers today on Deadspin. Were they passing along condolences to Brett and Deanna Favre on the passing of her stepfather? Maybe taking general manager Ted Thompson to task for our lack of depth at running back now that Vernand Morency looks to be out […]

May 6, 2007 There’s some fairly encouraging news coming out of Green Bay where the new class of rookie players are going through their paces at mini camp. Up until now it has all been pure speculation as to whether any of these guys can play and will contribute to the Packers success, so its […]

September 24, 2007 posted under: Chargers, Packers, Post-game It was sad to see my vacation in Las Vegas come to an end, but I was plenty glad to be home to enjoy Green Bay’s huge victory over the San Diego Chargers today. What a performance by Brett Favre, who threw for 369 yards and three […]

May 7, 2006 More tidbits came out of the second day of minicamp in Green Bay, but the highlight was Brett Favre’s first press conference since deciding to return for his 16th season with the team. The half hour session with reporters can be summed up thusly: I’ve decided to play, because I want to […]

November 29, 2005 The Wisconsin men’s basketball team fell to Wake Forest tonight 91-88 despite a valiant run to catch the Demon Deacons in the final minutes. Tucker had 23 points and Butch added 19 and 10 rebounds, but Wake Forest met little resistance on the defensive court. Justin Gray hit a career-high 37 points, […]

February 19, 2006 Marquette is really making their presence know in the Big East during their debut season. The Golden Eagles beat #9 Pittsburgh yesterday 84-82, their third victory over a ranked conference opponent this year. Marquette took the lead late in the first half and never let up behind an awesome performance by Steve […]

February 16, 2006 posted under: Badgers basketball The Badgers scored up a big upset last night, beating #12 Ohio State 78-73 at the Kohl Center. Alando Tucker played a brilliant game, recording a double-double with 27 points and 16 rebounds, while Brian Butch scored 17 and Ray Nixon pumped in 13 more. UW was down […]

January 18, 2006 Many apologies for not posting on the Wisconsin hockey team of late. When we last checked in, the Badgers had fallen to Michigan Tech 2-4, ending an unbeaten streak of 14 games. I’m happy to report that since then UW has been kicking ass and taking names, piling up six consecutive victories […]

January 18, 2008 posted under: Lambeau Field, NFC Championship, Packers It has been 10 years since the Green Bay Packers last played for the NFC championship — 11 years since the conference title game was last held at Lambeau Field — so there might be some football fans searching the Interwebs who aren’t as well […]

October 30, 2006 It still sort of boggles my mind sometimes that out of the handful of Iowa State alumni playing in the NFL, two of them are quarterbacks. Well, yesterday was a banner day for the Cyclone QB factory, because both former ISU signal callers were called into regular season action. Seneca Wallace, of […]
