January 28, 2006 posted under: Marquette The Golden Eagles came out of the gates with lots of steam but the Pitt Panthers recovered in the second half to win 77-71. Marquette had a couple good runs in the first half on their way to a 40-33 halftime lead, including an 8-0 run at the start […]
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 […]
November 12, 2007 Another Monday and more inanity from Peter King, the Monday Morning Quarterback. While in this week’s edition he goes on at some length about Brett Favre (what’s new) there was this: The Vikings just didn’t show up. I saw two-thirds of that game, and you can’t tell me the Packers are that […]
August 2, 2008 In spite of the fact that Detroit has amassed a record of 31-81 under his leadership, Matt Millen has had the rock solid support of Lions owner William Clay Ford for seven seasons. However, it sounds like Ford’s son, Bill, is starting to finally lay down the gauntlet. A report from Kevin […]
November 15, 2007 posted under: Packers, Panthers, Pre-game Alright, maybe the Carolina Panthers are looking more like little kittens this season and maybe Green Bay’s match-up this week isn’t the most exciting one on the schedule, but it could be argued this is the biggest trap game of the year so far. The Panthers come […]
January 29, 2008 There are a lot of things I miss about living in the Midwest. This weather report is not one of them. January 17, 2008 I’m no poster boy for PC behavior when it comes to the Green Bay Packers — you do not want to see me watching a game — but […]
November 28, 2006 posted under: Gene Chizik, Iowa State football The Packer fan in me is still horribly depressed after that huge, embarrassing loss to the Seahawks last night, but the Cyclone fan in me is terribly impressed, surprised and suddenly quite optimistic about the future now that Iowa State has hired Gene Chizik as […]
December 2, 2006 posted under: Mike Woods, Packers What has four eyes and enough pessimism for the entire upper deck at Lambeau Field? Why, it’s Mike Woods of the Green Bay Press-Gazette of course, who turns in his report card on the Packers today with five games yet to play, and concludes that this year’s […]
November 27, 2005 posted under: Iowa State football With a chance to win the Big 12 North Division crown, the Cyclones football team melted and withered away on the road against Kansas. God, how depressing. They were in command of that game with a 14-3 lead at halftime. It looked like a lock. But then […]
September 17, 2007 It doesn’t look like the Buffalo Bills are going to have a very good year. They got crushed by the Pittsburgh Steelers 26-3 yesterday to start the season 0-2. However, Jim Leonhard is off to a great start this season: Making his first start in the NFL, the former Badger recorded five […]
January 20, 2007 posted under: Badgers basketball A very big win for the Wisconsin men’s basketball team today, defeating Illinois on the road 71-64. That makes 15 victories in a row for the #3 Badgers and one step closer to a run at the Big 10 title. Way to go, boys. I was a little […]
December 4, 2005 posted under: Bucks Dan Gadzuric came on strong for Milwaukee, scoring nine straight and posting a season-high 16 for the game to help the Bucks defeat Orlando 104-84. Redd led the team with 30 points and Kukoc added 14 more. Bogut had six rebounds and scored five points. Milwaukee is now 9-6 […]
December 21, 2007 posted under: Badgers football, Outback Bowl I was wrapping presents and had ESPN on in the other room, and Jesse Palmer was talking about the upcoming bowl games. He was saying that the best match-up this year was between Wisconsin and Tennessee in the Outback Bowl. Of course Palmer went on The […]
April 28, 2006 posted under: Donald Driver, Javon Walker, Packers Brett Favre may have decided to return to Green Bay for another season, but will he have anyone to throw to? The Green Bay Press-Gazette is reporting today that Donald Driver has asked the Packers to restructure his contract or trade him to another team. […]
