  • Brewers-Reds Game 1 – Does anyone care?

    You can tell the network interest in the first game of the NLDS matchup between the Brewers and Phillies by the TV slot.  3PM EST on a Wednesday.  Thanks MLB.  The Brewers haven’t seen the playoffs in the entire lifespan of many of their fans and yet, those of us with jobs (you know, the…

  • Kiffin gone – Davis still nuts

    There’s two sides to every story and this case is no different.  There’s Al Davis’ side, and then the rest of the world. Seriously though, it’s not too hard to argue that there were some questionable things said by the Raiders’ boss man today.  All the public lies he referred to and the open desire…

  • Packers play-calling – vanilla?

    I’m going to focus on 1st down, this week vs. Tampa Bay. 1st Quarter – Drive 1: 1st and 10 at GB 42(14:51) R.Grant left end pushed ob at GB 48 for 6 yards 1st and 10 at TB 48(13:06) A.Rodgers sacked ob at TB 49 for -1 yards 1st and 10 at TB 33(11:51)…

  • Braun/Sabathia = team co-MVPs

    Both guys were amazing all year, but there is simply no topping what they did today.  Game winning home run for Braun and another complete game win for CC.  Longest post-season drout in major pro sports is over!

  • Week 4 (where’d week 3 go?)

    Yeah, I never posted anything for week 3.  Forget that, because the Brewers have gotten it together and are tied for the wild card.  I don’t know if they really deserve to make the playoffs at this point, but if they can keep winning I will gladly take it.  Could be good things in the…

  • Brewers make changes in process, not end result

    So I hesitated to jump on board with the millions of other journalists and bloggers talking about Ned Yost being fired.  Why?  What could I say that they haven’t.  Now that the Brewers have officially moved away from Yost and played (and lost) their first game without him, I feel I should add a little…

  • Week 2 – What more could be in store?

    Week 1 we saw a revitalization of the Bears defense, we saw one Hall of Fame QB take his last snap for the year.  We saw another Hall of Fame QB take his first snap with a new team.  It was confirmed that the Raiders and Rams still have zero hope of making the playoffs. …

  • Rodgers on his way

    Week 1, first time as a starter, first game without hall of famer QB Brett Favre on the team, prime time game, division rival, enormous expectations.  The only way Aaron Rodgers could have more pressure tonight would be if he had been the one telling Favre to take a hike over the Summer.  The entire…

  • NOW it’s official…

    …Brady done for the year.  Chris Simms coming in tomorrow morning for a workout. Damn.

  • Bloody Sunday…

    Not a good start to the NFL season for some teams.  First and foremost, it looks like incredibly bad news for the Patriots as Tom Brady hurt his knee early against the Chefs.  Great googly-moogly… It’s still not clear whether he has a torn ACL as Yahoo and others have reported.  There is a small…
