Say What?
Look, I’m no expert. On anything. Most definitely not on writing or football. But then again, I’m not paid to be. Hell, I’m not paid period. But I would expect those who are paid, both to write and opine on football, to show a modicum of talent for one or the other. So it is [...]
The \’Pack Up Your Office\’ Story of the Week
…goes to our friend Pete Dougherty over at the Green Bay Press Gazette for his sprawling piece last Wednesday hyping the ‘rematch’ between Al Harris and Terrell Owens. Might want to check those sources Pete…or start reading Cheesehead TV. Tweet
Scandal
Loyal reader and Wausau resident PackOne informed me in the comment section below that his local CBS affiliate will NOT be showing the Packer/Bronco game tonight.

Here We Go Again…
So today we hear that Ryan Grant won’t report to training camp without a new deal. And wouldn’t you know it, it’s Pete Dougherty ‘breaking’ the news again via discussions with Grant’s agent. (I wrote about this previously.) This is how the game is played. Splash some ink, get some headlines, sway public opinion. And [...]
