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 [...]

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

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 [...]

Match Made in Heaven

I’m getting emails about fantasy football from Maciej, Aaron Rodgers is on the cover of ESPN Magazine, and Peter King is picking Green Bay to win the Super Bowl. All are definite signs that football season is close.

And this discovery today leaves no doubt:

Packers + Snuggie “Blanket With Sleeves”. Two [...]

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 [...]

Disclaimer: This is someone else’s awful Photoshop job, not mine.

We haven’t seen this big of a circle jerk by an athlete ever since Favre gave us the run around two years ago, last year, this year. I bet Brett is happy LeBron is settling this whole matter tonight so that he can [...]

This weekend brings us full circle from the Morton-Caponiti engagement announcement on this blog last year. I’m headed off to DC for the weekend for the wedding. The ceremony starts simultaneously with the USA-Ghana World Cup game. It will be tough to miss the game, but thank goodness for an iPhone to check the [...]

Football, Finally

Yesterday was some awesome soccer. Mostly because it involved a team of fake fans, fake players, and a terrible dictator getting thoroughly embarrassed, live — AND SOME ACTUAL SCORING!!!

Portugal beat North Korea 7-0, a score that Americans can finally relate to. With the World Cup scoring down in the first round, I [...]

The time for the US-England World Cup game is almost upon is. Headed over to some random friend-of-a-friend’s house to watch it and BBQ a bit.

I wanted to make sure I was fully prepared for the match, so I did a little homework. Google introduced me to this interesting database: The Racial [...]

A Blast from the Past

For some random reason, the topic of hovercraft came up in a family email chain this weekend. It instantly reminded me of the early-teen fame that I (and Dave Anderson) obtained because of a fairly awesome hovercraft we built for a science project (with help from my dad and brother, I’m sure) that scored [...]
