  • C.C. Sabathia Expected to Start for Brewers Tuesday, 7/8/08

    Sadly, I won’t be at the game.  I’m not even going to look at what ticket prices have jumped to in the last 24 hours.  It will be pretty amazing to see a Milwaukee game likely sell out, on a Tuesday against the Rockies. I will definitely be watching the game though, cannot wait to…

  • I didn’t want to jinx anything…

    …but I’ve been reading the Sabathia rumors and have gotten rather excited.  Well now that it seems pretty much official, I am extremely excited.  In fact, I’ve been a Brewer fan for roughly 20 of my 26.5 years on this planet and I have not once been this elated to be a fan.  I think…

  • Favre Comeback – Where do I begin?

    Not that it can possibly be a secret at this point, but the word is Brett Favre wants to come back and play again.  The Packers don’t want him, they don’t want to release him either.  They want him retired.  Sorry Brett, should’ve thought of this before you announced your retirement.  Bummer for Brett, but…

  • Yahoo! Ranks Bears Offense as Useless in Fantasy Play

    During their pre-season fantasy rankings of teams, Yahoo! picked the Chicago Bears as dead last for fantasy value.  This should come as no surprise, as the Bears have clearly shown that they have no interest in winning games or even scoring points anywhere inside the next 4 years.  The team is clearly trying to trim…

  • Packers to actually blitz this season? Hmm…

    ESPN.com has an article talking about the increased emphasis on the blitz during mini-camps this summer.  It’s obvious to anyone who has watched the Jim Bates/Bob Sanders era defense that the Packers rarely send anyone but the front four after the QB.  Last season, the Packers blitzed on about 22% of passing plays.  The NFL…

  • Now what?

    What did I say at the ’07 draft? Everyone on the planet said it, why did we pick Justin Harrell?  The guy was always hurt, and no surprise, he’s hurt again.  Can we cut this dude, eat his signing bonus and stop paying 1st round money to someone who will be on the PUP list…

  • NFL Draft – Day 1

    Well, probably about 53.5 million people out there are doing an NFL draft blog… may as well make it 53,500,001. I’m not going to pretend to be an expert on how any of these kids played in college. I don’t know how many of them will transition into the pros. Still, I’m excited about the…

  • Madden 2009 Curse Could be Financial for Packers

    Favre on Madden 2009 Cover It’s reported that Favre will be on the cover of Madden 09.  Obviously the “curse” is a little different when it deals with a retired player.  So what’s the worst thing that could happen as a result of this cover?  Favre could keep playing.  That would mean the Packers would…

  • Bengals holding ground on Johnson holdout

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3358557 According to reports, the Washington Redskins offered Cincinnati a 1st round pick this year and a conditional 3rd round pick next year (which could potentially be a 1st rounder) for angry receiver Chad Johnson.  What did the Bengals say about this generous offer?  NO! Quoted in the above-linked ESPN.com story, Bengals coach Marv Lewis…

  • Bengals making a stand with Johnson?

    The line has been drawn in the sad. Chad Johnson says he will not be a Bengal anymore.  Cinci says they are keeping Chad. So now what?  I don’t see Johnson retiring anytime soon.  He probably won’t risk the humiliation of backing down now.  After trying to present a tougher image recently, it seems the…
