A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans
All of my teams lost this weekend, so I’m really in no mood to think about sports, let alone write about them. But perhaps this little exercise in which I review what we learned this weekend in sports will be therapeutic and help me prepare for the months of heartache that surely lie ahead.
Jim McGrew recaps a busy 24 hours in the football world: Mike McQueary provided some disturbing but important (and damning) testimony about Jerry Sandusky; the Sam Hurd drug saga continued to unfold; and Adrian Peterson explained one of his motivations for returning to the field.
With a 13-0 record, a road game this week at Kansas City, and their remaining two games in Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers and their fans can taste an undefeated regular season. But will they be able to go all the way and finish the season undefeated and back-to-back Super Bowl champions?
Green Bay sits on a nice 12-0 record right now. Before heading to his first Packers game as a part-owner, Chris Callaway provides five things that his Packers need to continue doing to finish the season 19-0.
We Packers fans just have a really good sense of humor and a lot freakin’ free time on our hands when there’s 8 feet of snow outside and we can’t get to work. This has led to a number of musical tributes to our beloved Packers, the best of which I’ve compiled in this post.
Today’s first Thanksgiving Day game features the undefeated Green Bay Packers against the 7-3 Detroit Lions. Here is the TV and spread info, plus what our writing team has had to say about this game throughout the week, including our picks…and yours.
The first of the three Thanksgiving Day games features the undefeated Green Bay Packers as they travel to Detriot to take on the Lions. This will be one of the biggest games of the season for both of these teams.
With three games on Thanksgiving Thursday I thought it might be helpful to do a special start/sit column for those games. So in this post I’ll do just that, providing analysis and recommendations for the key players you need to decide on before Turkey Day.
My wife doesn’t understand how it is okay for the players to dance around individually, but they are not allowed to do any multi-player/team celebrations. Come to think of it, neither do I. Here are four of the all-time best “excessive” endzone celebrations.
The Green Bay Packers navigated the season’s first half without a loss. Now comes the inevitable talk of a possible perfect season, which the Packers just may need if they want to have homefield advantage in the NFC playoffs.
As they did last time the Packers and Vikings played, Amanda Lawson and Drew Lange decided to do their game preview in the form of an entertaining, candid email exchange. Here it is.
Now that we have reached the midpoint of the 2011 season, let’s take a look at who the most outstanding players, coaches and executives have been so far.
What exactly has gone wrong in Charger-land over the first half of the season? (Well, besides the usual Norv Turner…) There is an entire laundry list of items. Can they be corrected before Aaron Rodgers and the high-powered Packers get into town?
Jay Cutler is no stranger to doing whatever he wants. Some bash him for it, but do you want to know why an All-State high school shortstop, basketball player, and football star, who’s destined for the Hall of Fame, can do whatever he wants? One reason: He’s Jay Cutler and he dominates.
Sometimes – not often, mind you, but sometimes – companies get it right. Every once in a while I’ll stumble across a commercial that is some combination of funny, current, sentimental, informative and (gasp!) effective. State Farm dropped one of these on the American public a couple weeks ago.
