  • Braun PED Case – Enough Already?

    All the talk lately is how Ryan Braun refused to talk to MLB about the PED case. This is not a defense of Braun. He likely cheated and deserves the suspension. This is a question of what the hell is the point of all this. The league’s view of PEDs needs to change. We aren’t…

  • Milwaukee Bucks Passing on 2013-14 Season

    The Bucks are seemingly going all in on the Andrew Wiggins sweepstakes, and most likely everyone will lose.  Since the end of the 2012-13 season, they’ve done the following: Dropped their interim coach Let Monta Ellis walk (note – this is good, but the points and random moments of entertainment [1 entertaining moment for every…

  • Rodgers & Matthews Contracts – Hurting the Team?

    By the time you read this, it’s entirely possible Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews will have new contracts.  It’s widely assumed they’ll average $25m and $13m a year respectively.  That’s $38 million – just to avoid math mixups.  Plenty of folks are in a panic about those numbers.  They feel each player should take less…

  • NFL Week 17 Pink Slips – Sorting Out the Mess

    It’s Black Monday in the NFL and jobs are opening up left and right.  Here is the rundown of who is out, as of this post… only covering head coaches & GMs.  Completely random order. Philly: Reid is gone, which everyone knew was going to happen back several weeks ago.  He won a ton of…

  • Jermichael Finley, still a moron

    “I’d say about fourth,” Finley said. “I don’t really want to put a number on it, but I’d say four if I had to. I’m pretty disappointed in it. I’m pretty disappointed in the numbers side of it, but I ain’t had the opportunities either. “Everybody knows what I can do, but it’s just out…

  • Mason Crosby = Bad NFL Kicker

    Crosby’s name has come up a lot this year, people say he’s in a funk.  I say, he’s just as bad as he’s always been.  Last year he was pretty solid and that was an anomaly.  Part of the problem is the indoor/outdoor split.  Indoors he’s lights out.  Outdoors (where the Packers play…) he is awful.…

  • Roger Goodell & the NFL Failed

    How are you supposed to take this game seriously?  This is the kind of foolishness that ruined the NBA in a very short amount of time.  We’ve had a pretty contentious lockout, a farce of a player safety campaign, the smear campaign against the Saints and now a game thrown by inexperienced officials.  The Packers…

  • The NFL Has the Packers Figured Out

    We saw this with the ’07 Patriots toward the end of the year (especially in the Super Bowl) and it looks like we’re seeing it with the Packers this year.  Sure, it’s halfway through their 3rd game as I’m typing this and they’ve played two very good defenses (Seattle/San Fran), but the game plans are…

  • Green Bay Packers Offseason Wish List

    Assuming we actually have a semi-normal offseason, the Packers are quite a fortunate team in that they have few key free agents, are in healthy shape cap-wise, and are going to get a ton of injured players back.  However, there’s still work to do.  Here’s my wish list broken down by activities. Team Free Agents…

  • Favre consecutive start streak ends at one

    Wonder if there will be a commemorative football this time?
