Caught a post today on profootballtalk.com that got me thinking the Green Bay Packers are smarter than most teams during this lockout. Free agent linebacker Takeo Spikes, who most recently played with San Francisco, is not a fan of the players-only workouts as reported on PFT: “Basically, Spikes told the 2 Live Stews, he just ...
It seems like for many years Badger football fans have wondered just how far the team could go if they had a top-tier quarterback. Mind you, guys like Darrell Bevell, Jim Sorgi, Brooks Bollinger and, most recently, Scott Tolzien have played outstanding football at Camp Randall. However, none have ever been thought of as a ...
During the day yesterday, during a ESPN SportsCenter update on Sports Fan 100.5, news of a rumored trade of Milwaukee Bucks starting center Andrew Bogut and the Bucks #1 draft pick (10th overall) to Minnesota for the Timberwolves #1 (2nd overall) made the national headlines.

After yesterday’s 12-1 five inning win at D. C. Everest that clinched ...
If only everything came through like the Stanley Cup playoffs do. I mean your doctor, insurance agent, boss and family. Life would be very good. We are just in the first round of the NHL playoffs and we are coming up on two weeks of at least one OT game every night. It’s amazing how ...
This is a sports blog and not a weather blog but weather is the big story when it comes to the start of the spring sports season. When you wake up on April 16th and see a couple of inches of snow on the ground and the wind blowing with a sound that is more ...
Lockouts and court hearings continue to be the big news in professional football this offseason. Whether or not the 2011 NFL season starts on time continues to be a big questionmark but one thing that hasn’t been talked about as a possibility is the use of replacement players.
