Can’t Stop. Won’t Stop.

I try to limit the amount of Packers coverage I put on this blog. But I just can’t stop. There is so much love for the team. It’s starting to scare me, though. No unanimous ‘analyst’ preseason Super Bowl pick has probably ever actually brought the Lombardi Trophy home, but there’s always a first [...]

Just a Little Taste

The Packer bandwagon has gotten so full, I can’t even keep up with all the love that’s out there. But I’ll do my best to just give you a quick little taste:

The latest USA Today NFL Power Ranking now has the Packers as the #1 team:

The note that goes along with [...]

Favre Who?

(Update: 3:30PM — Version 2.0; A newer, cleaner design but still a ways to go)

————————–

I know it’s only the preseason, but after watching the Packers preseason game rout against the Colts last night, I can’t help but to be very, very, very, very, very excited about the prospects of Aaron Rodgers [...]

As a Packer fan, I’m actually happy Favre is back. Gives the Packers an opportunity for some sweet, sweet revenge.

Joke of the Day

Compliments of Seif:

I met a fairy today that granted me one wish.

“I want to live forever,” I said.

“Sorry” said the fairy, “I’m not allowed to grant wishes like that!”

“Fine” I said, “I want to die after the Vikings win the Super Bowl!”

“You crafty bastard,” said the fairy. [...]

The PGA Championship is near my parent’s place in Kohler, WI this week. No bites on selling their home yet, but the week is young.

As for the actual tournament, Tiger sucks, Mickelson has severe arthritis, and everyone else on the tour is relatively boring. I’ve been to four PGA Championships in my [...]

Favre Retires! Again…

Breaking news on ESPN:

Only the third time he has retired. There are a few weeks for him to change his mind. But for now, it’s a great day.

Packers. Super Bowl. Win. Done.

There will be a Packer fan parade through Edina, MN tonight. Come join me.

And just because I can’t [...]

One Dollar Per

I played golf with my Dad this afternoon. We played at the same course we are playing at next weekend in his company’s annual golf tournament to get a nice warm-up in. Some of us are warmer than others:

We bet one dollar per stroke. Nineteen strokes later, I’m ready to treat myself [...]

Baltimore’s Finest

Oh, good ol’ Baltimore. How I miss you so…

A fan, not even trying that hard, is able to run around the Orioles field last night and avoid Baltimore Police for 2+ minutes before he finally gives up from bordem? Sounds about right.

I have a few competing theories as to why [...]

I’ve long argued with Wernick, The Great Wahl’s baseball editor, that his sport is a worthless. It is so undeniably boring and even more undeniably long. But he tries to defend baseball like a cornered, rabid dog. That’s why I feel compelled to call him out publicly. I want to hear his thoughts on [...]
