November 19, 2005 About the best thing I can say about Pride & Prejudice is that it isn’t horrible. Mrs. BratsNBeerGuy dragged me out to see the latest movie version of Jane Austin’s love Victorian-style novel and I suspect many of you husbands and boyfriends out there will get the same request this weekend or […]
December 8, 2005 posted under: Bucks A night after losing to the Lakers 111-92, Milwaukee staged a fourth quarter rally to beat Philadelphia 88-85. Down by seven with two minutes to play, Michael Redd hit two free throws and made a layup to close the gap. Rookie Andrew Bogut scored on a rebound after TJ […]
January 6, 2007 Well, another NFL playoff starts today, and for the second year in a row there’s no Green & Gold to watch and root for and cause much swearing at the TV. I’m sure, though, that I’ll be watching the games today and tomorrow because I’m programmed to robotically watch football anytime and […]
December 8, 2005 posted under: Iowa State football My brother and I are quite different in many ways. He lives back home in Iowa, I live here in Texas. He is carefree and single, I am married (happily, I might add). He is “between jobs,” I have my dignity wrung from my soul on a […]
November 5, 2007 posted under: Packers, Peter King Sports Illustrated columnist Peter King has been duly criticized over the years for his Favreian hero worship that borders on a man crush threatening to erupt into a declaration that he’ll go gay for Favre. But today’s Monday Morning Quarterback column proves that King knows a few […]
December 22, 2005 posted under: Packers, Pro Bowl I’m sure you’ve heard the NFL Pro-Bowl ballots have been tallied and rosters announced. Most of the usual suspects are going, but not all. Brett Favre isn’t. Ahman Green isn’t. In fact, no Packer player was voted in this year. None. Guess that shouldn’t shock anyone, but […]
September 27, 2007 Is anyone else surprised that the cops busted a couple having sex in the women’s restroom at Camp Randall Stadium during the Badgers game on Saturday? Sure you can question their choice of love making spots, but more importantly they were missing the game. The article in The Badger Herald (by way […]
June 4, 2006 posted under: Bucks, new logo The Milwaukee Bucks announced this week that they will be sporting a new logo, new colors, and new uniforms for the 2006 season. (Brett at BucksTown posted on rumors about a new uniform back in March. Nice work.) The team is keeping everything under wraps until the […]
March 28, 2006 It’s funny how this blogging thing works: you get on a roll posting every day, or multiple times a day, and it starts to become a part of your regular routine, but you only have to take a couple days off to fall right out of that routine and suddenly you’re not […]
November 26, 2005 posted under: Badgers football Nice game for Wisconsin winning 41-24 over Hawaii on the road. OK, the competition wasn’t all that tough, but it was a great performance on both sides of the ball. Calhoun had 149 yards and a touchdown, Stocco threw for two TDs and 191 yards, and the defense […]
September 4, 2007 posted under: Badgers football, polls The AP and coaches polls both came out today and both agree: The UW Badgers are the fifth best team in the country. These are some lofty heights; I hope no one gets a nosebleed. I was thinking before the polls came out that Wisconsin might get […]
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 […]
March 7, 2006 Enough fooling around with regular season conference games, it’s time to get serious. The Big 12 and Big 10 tournaments get started this week and I’m looking for good things from both my Cyclones and my Badgers. Okay, neither team was looking real sharp coming down the stretch, but a guy can […]
June 4, 2006 posted under: Lions suck, Matt Millen, moolah Matt Millen strikes another blow for effective management in the NFL. The Lions on Wednesday signed Ross Verba to a deal that will pay the former Packer defensive lineman $4 million to play this season. According to ESPN, the contract gives Verba a $2.2 million […]
