August 21, 2007 What is up with the Vikings and their continuous need to sign players cut from the Packers roster? The breaking news today is that Robert Ferguson, our regularly injured former #3 receiver, has been picked up by the Purple Pride Pose. So first it was Sharper, then Longwell (okay, that one makes […]
December 13, 2005 Okay, I know everyone is upset, confused, or maybe downright pissed about the safety reversal call Sunday night. (Though the Detroit Free Press seemed to take it in stride as just another sign of how bad the Lions are and went right back to calling for Millen’s head.) I admit it was […]
Mistakes are a part of life. There is no such thing as perfectionism. It is only an illusion; you can always strive for it, but it is impossible to achieve. However, taking no heed from those mistakes and not rectifying them is where you will fall flat on your face. Here is a list of […]
November 30, 2007 In the words of coach Mike McCarthy, “We did not play our best football.” Congratulations to the Dallas Cowboys. You defeated Aaron Rodgers to advance to 11-1 on the season, so you obviously fielded the better team and ol’ Fatty there was the superior coach. I’m sure you’ll go on the best […]
November 7, 2006 It was a cruel turn of events for Packer fans this weekend, seeing the Green & Gold take a giant step backwards in their loss to the Bills. Last week they looked like a real, live professional football team and Sunday it seemed like they had been replaced by the Keystone Cops. […]
December 27, 2007 Between bouts of merry making and present opening, I came across a story about former UW quarterback John Stocco who is going to play football in Italy next year. “Italy?” I sez. Apparently they have a thriving American football league over there called the Lega Nazionale Football Americano Italiano with eight teams […]
November 16, 2005 After a 4-1 start, Milwaukee ran into some problems out West against the LA Clippers last night. Maurice Williams, Michael Redd, and Bobby Simmons were all well below 50% shooting and the team only took seven three-point shots. Los Angeles was on fire, though, led by Sam Cassell’s 23 points and Elton […]
September 29, 2006 The next opponent on Iowa State’s football schedule is the Panthers of the University of Northern Iowa. Some of you might not know much about UNI, so today I thought I’d give a brief tutorial on this fine and august institution. The school was founded as the Iowa State Normal School in […]
October 8, 2006 The UW Badgers have been battling a variety of mistakes all season, and those miscues very nearly came back to haunt them Saturday against Northwestern. Looking at the offensive stats, the first half of the game should have been a blowout, but when they went to the locker room, Wisconsin only held […]
August 7, 2007 Does Peter King have a man-crush on a Packer not named Favre? Last week in his Postcards from the Edge of the Banquet Table, he took time to mention how impressed he was with Johnny Jolly and now today he’s advising the Indianapolis Colts to take a long look at our defensive […]
