RE: Was it my imagination...

Actually Lance, Sean and I were watching the first couple of games at DC-area Sports Bars this season and were very worried about the spotty tackling and the stunning lack of tackling fundamentals on the Defense (a growing problem nation-wide I must say). So yesterday's loss wasn't a total surprise to me.

Frankly, Wisconsin's been lucky to eek out victories in at least two of its five wins this season.

In fact, as I sat down to watch the game yesterday, I said to the table of Illinois fans next to me "You guys are going to win today. GO BUCKY!!"

Sadly, that statement irritated the table of rather attractive female UW alums next to the table of Illini Alums.

Curse my over-developed powers of observation and deduction. If only I could find some way to personally benefit from them...

RE: Moss Traded

Lance,

Was just listening to ESPNRadio. It seems the Packers were in the negotiations to get Moss this weekend, but hit a snag -- in the form of Randy Moss and his inability to restructure his contract.

Apparently, he wanted to go to a team that could win the Super Bowl next season, and the Patriots; not the Pack, are it.

No Mention of Today's Dominating Performance?

Wow, I thought there would be a whole stream of blogs before the sixth was over!

Anyway how about that start to what promises to be an outstanding season for the Brewers. Yeah, fans are always optimistic after winning opening day.

However, it is not just homers thinking the Crew can go far this year:

No less an authority than ESPN's Peter Gammons, a baseball hall of famer, has tabbed the Brewers to finish first in the National League Central. But he is not the only one. All kinds of people who get paid to put their reputations on the line believe the Brewers are the team to beat — or perhaps just the least of six evils — in the Central.

Lets hope they can stay injury free, if they do it will be a great baseball year!

What a job Ben did today, hey?
