There was not a lot of love and respect for the Wisconsin Badgers from the pollsters this week. Despite overcoming some first half challenges and beating The Citadel by two touchdowns, UW fell to #9 in the AP poll and remained at #7 in the coaches poll. To echo the sentiments of a commenter on [...]

It doesn’t look like the Buffalo Bills are going to have a very good year. They got crushed by the Pittsburgh Steelers 26-3 yesterday to start the season 0-2. However, Jim Leonhard is off to a great start this season: Making his first start in the NFL, the former Badger recorded five tackles, two assists, [...]

Listening to the Packers game today on WTMJ there were a couple moments that made me burst out laughing at the expense of the Purple People Posse.
During the pre-game lead in, Wayne Larrivee was going on about the uniforms as he always does and saying how great it was to see two teams playing with [...]

The Green Bay Packers improved to 2-0 with an impressive 35-13 win on the road over the New York Giants, impressive because it was the offense that put those points on the board and not the defense and the special teams. Brett Favre finished the day with a quarterback rating of 112.4, completing 29 of [...]

After watching Bret Culbertson make a 28-yard field goal to give Iowa State a 15-13 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes, I just have to ask: Why wasn’t Al Michaels doing the play-by-play, because this game was nothing short of miraculous.
No one thought the Cyclones had a chance in this one, not the media, not the [...]

The weekend is upon us once again and this is a big Satuday for college football. USC travels to Nebraska (a no win situation as far as I’m concerned), Michigan plays Notre Dame (someone’s gotta win, right?) and the Badgers play against The Citadel (Wisconsin wins easily, but fans lose because the game is on [...]

In this weekend’s opener between the Buffalo Bills and the Denver Broncos, former Badger standout Jim Leonhard proved what a gamer he is. The safety recorded eight solo tackles and five assists, returned an interception for 36 yards and knocked down another pass. Leonhard was a big fan favorite when he played for Wisconsin and [...]

In my haste to post about yesterday’s game, I don’t think I said nearly enough about the awesomeness that was the Green Bay defense. A lot of commentators will ascribe the Eagles loss to J.R. Reed and Greg Lewis, but the Packers deserve a lot of credit for containing what is supposed to be a [...]

It was ugly and unconventional and not very inspiring from an offensive point of view, but the important thing is the Green Bay Packers found a way to win today’s home opener 16-13 against the Philadelphia Eagles. (Kudos, by the way, to Cheese and Packers for coming close to predicting the final score.)
As predicted, the [...]

Tyler Donovan: The name sounds like a difference maker, a play maker, a winner. I think I have a new man crush.
After a long, tense game during which the Badgers were trailing most of the time, there was a huge explosion in the Brats & Beer household when the UW quarterback ran a naked bootleg [...]
