Twittering the Super Bowl

Filed under Sports

I’ll be Twittering the Super Bowl…assuming Twitter’s servers can take it.
UPDATE: Since Fox has only gotten to the “pre-kick show” I have time to make a prediction: New England Patriots 38, New York Giants 24.
UPDATE II: We’re just getting to the National Anthem. So I can let you know Ed Morrissey is liveblogging and Hot […]

Jump Around

Here’s a new weblog find: Jumping in Art Museums. [Via David All] Fine as long as they don’t break anything.
It’s cool, but not as cool as Camp Randall Stadium after the third quarter of a Badgers game.

When’s Ice Bowl III?

Filed under Sports

With that loss Ice Bown II doesn’t enter the Packers’ mythology.
However, this was an outstanding and surprising season. What was thought to be Brett Favre’s last hurrah turned into record-breaking magic.
They didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, but no one expected them to. They’re young and hungry with the chance to dominate the NFC […]

Cold in Green Bay

Filed under Sports

It’s -1 degrees at kickoff in Green Bay.
All is well in the universe.
Follow my blitherings about the game at Twitter.

Ice Bowl II

The high temperature in Green Bay tomorrow is expected to be 3-degrees.
Brett Favre will hate every minute he’s out there, but I think he’ll end up throwing three touchdowns for the win and a ticket to the Super Bowl.

Jumping on the Bandwagon

I don’t mind if Chicago Bears fans root for the Packers. The more the merrier. Plus, Bears fans can watch how real fans act when the REAL America’s Team goes to the Super Bowl.
“Is There Room for Bear Fans on the Band Wagon?”

This Sports Illustrated cover is great. One of the best I can remember.

The Ghost of Lambert Field

Has Rudy Giuliani lost the Wisconsin vote? What will he do when the Packers go to the Super Bowl, root for them because the NY Giants are an NFC team?
Politicians mess with the Packers at their peril. Remember “Lambert Field?”
I know, Sen. Kerry still won the state in 2004, but still.

Brett Favre’s Amazing Play

Filed under Sports

Yesterday, Brett Favre missed being sacked, stopped himself from falling flat on his face, and made an underhanded first down pass. Classic Favre.

Tom Brady: MVP; Second Place: Brett Favre

Well deserved for Tom Brady who had a record-breaking year for the undefeated New England Patriots.
But it wasn’t unanimous. Who got that other vote? Brett Favre.
Love it.
“Brady is Near-Unanimous Pick for MVP”
UPDATE: It’s hard to argue with perfection so I understand Bill Belichick being named Coach of the Year. But remember, he got fined $500,000 […]

Digg Digs the Packers

Filed under Sports

Digg is not known as a place to find sports stories. It’s a tech news site with other categories slapped onto it. So it’s really strange to see news about the Green Bay Packers winning the NFC North make the front page.

Who knew Digg geeks like Kevin Rose were also Packers fans?

Packers Lose But are Still Pretty Good

Yes, I freaked when Brett Favre left the game. The hit on his arm didn’t look any worse than other ones he’s taken. But I forget sometimes that he’s 37. When he was in the game he wanted too many long passes. Ryan Grant played fairly well so Favre shouldn’t have been more patient. Aaron […]

Best Receiving Corps in NFL

Filed under Sports

I was surprised to read the Green Bay Packers have a deeper receiving corps than the (so far) unstoppable New England Patriots:
Entering Thursday night’s NFC showdown with the Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium — where the winner between the two 10-1 teams will have the inside track for the conference’s top playoff seed and homefield […]

Hand Check

Filed under Sports

I hoped all TAM readers had a happy Thanksgiving. I couldn’t get back to Wisconsin this year, but I ate good food with friends in D.C. Adding to the festivities was a Green Bay Packers victory. They’re 10-1 going into next Thursday’s NFC clash of the titans with the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaking of Packers, last week […]

Baseball’s black stain that is Barry Bonds continues:
Baseball star Barry Bonds was indicted today on perjury and obstruction of justice charges stemming from a years-long federal probe that examined his alleged use of steroids. A copy of the Bonds indictment, which was filed today in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, can be found below. […]
