In a back and forth affair one would expect in the Wisconsin-Minnesota rivalry, the Badgers held off a frantic fourth-quarter Gopher rally to hold on to the coveted axe of Paul Bunyan. John Clay, a sophomore tailback out of Racine, Wis...
It's no secret: Brett Favre is going up against the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football this week. Most also realize that, with a Viking victory, Favre will become the first starting ...
Ouch. So much for brilliant predictions. I didn't think Cedric Benson would be any good against the Packers new defense. I thought Chad Johnson wouldn't get anywhere near the end zone...
Last week, the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears by doing some things they weren't able to do last season: stopping the run (second-year phenom Matt Forte had only 55 yards rushing), depending ...
In a game that figured to be a defensive battle in Madison, two young quarterbacks had career days for teams that put up a combined total of 65 points...
It's finally here...almost. The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are less than 48 hours away from opening their 2009 regular seasons. Both have aspirations of winning the NFC North and making a run to Super Bowl XLIV...
College football. The only place where a winless team from one year can find an opponent the next year that will make the winless team a 21-point favorite. Before last weekend, that betting line would've been downright outrageous...
Just a disclaimer: Most who read what I write, both in articles and in comments, know that I'm a big Packer supporter. This is merely my attempt to play devil's advocate and to try to temper my very optimistic views about the team this upcoming season...
Bleacher Report, it's been far too long. Maybe it's my fault for not coming up with something to say. Maybe it's the Brewers fault for not giving me anything to talk about. Who knows? But lately, I've found something to write about...
Ah, the NFC North division. Cold-weather games at historic Soldier and Lambeau Fields always have necessitated a strong running game of the four teams in the division...
In 1968, the National Basketball Association expanded with franchises in Phoenix and Milwaukee. After the two teams finished tied with the league's worst record in their respective first seasons, ...
Stop me if you've heard this one before. It's July, and there's some question as to whether or not quarterback Brett Favre will be returning to play football this season...
I want to preface this article by saying that I'm a big fan of Bleacher Report. It is a great forum for people to share their thoughts and meet others who share them...
First thing's first: pay that man. Ramon Sessions has been the biggest question for those select few that follow the Milwaukee Bucks, but I'm summing it up with those three words...
Every team has its stars: Alex Rodriguez, Hanley Ramirez, Ryan Braun, Johan Santana., the list goes on. Every baseball fan knows these guys, and every baseball fan knows all about their individual exploits...
When a player like Manny Ramirez gets suspended for breaking Major League Baseball's drug policy, it's big news for a few reasons. He's larger than life, he had Dodger fans at hello, and nobody suspected him of any wrongdoing...
Borrowing from ESPN's Bill Simmons and Nino Colla's MLB Power Groupings, I'm making my first attempt at some preseason NFL rankings that probably don't mean anything in the grand scheme of things...
For the last 11 years or so, Peyton Manning has been the starting quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts. In that time, he's accumulated lots of touchdown passes, lots of yards, lots of consecutive starts, and lots of wins...
Brett Favre has famously said that he's "still retired at this time" recently, and the speculation has begun regarding potential future destinations...
The NBA announced its first and second all-rookie teams for the 2008-2009 season, and a curious absence for those who know about this guy is that of Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, a second-round pick ...
After the September debacle last year and the quick exit from the playoffs, the Milwaukee Brewers knew that their two best pitchers from the 2008 campaign, Ben Sheets and CC Sabathia, would be leaving for somewhere else...
We've all heard how bad the Green Bay Packers screwed up the 1989 NFL Draft by taking steroid-inflated offensive tackle Tony Mandarich with the second overall pick...
The Green Bay Packers took nose tackle BJ Raji with the ninth overall pick in this past weekend's NFL Draft. The idea is to improve the run defense, which ranked 26th in the league...
On the first day of the NFL Draft, Green Bay's general manager Ted Thompson made a very uncharacteristic move concerning his second- and third-round draft choices. He traded them to New England to trade up into the first round...
Looks like Ted Thompson knows what he's doing so far. I'm not looking anything up at this point, but it's the first time in a while that I remember Green Bay having two first round draft picks...
