Watching the Packers and lounging about. They're looking good, and they've got the weather advantage too.

The Badgers crushed Purdue today.  I love a good, solid win, and 62-17 is pretty darn good.  Penn State is still leading the Leaders Division, but a 7-2 record is perfectly acceptable.

I think I'll be heading out to Bootleggers tonight for some fun.

Yes, last night's game was very disappointing.  Heartbreaking, in fact.  All I can say is that Michigan State played really well.  I was happy with the way Wisconsin fought back in the second half.  In the end, it just wasn't quite enough.

The NFL is back!  

My defending national champion Packers got the season started with a nice win over the Saints tonight.  It was a wild, high-scoring game, but the important thing is that they won.

It's gonna be a great couple months.  Football makes everything better.

Wisconsin knocked off the #1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes yesterday!!!!!!  TAKE THAT!

Congratulations, Green Bay Packers!  Super Bowl XLV Champions!!!  Aaron Rodgers definitely got the monkey off his back.

Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema has had his five-year rollover contract extended through the 2015 season. Great move.  I like this guy a lot.

If I could say one thing to Brett Favre, it would be this:  retire.  Please retire.

For as long as I can remember, I've been a Brett Favre fan.  I cheered for the rival Green Bay Packers simply because he was their quarterback.  I was sad when he retired, and happy when he changed his mind and came back.  I tried to be sympathetic when he was in the midst of his decision, going back and forth, and leaving eventual heir-replacement Aaron Rogers in limbo.  I was sad when he went to the New York Jets, but happy that he was still playing. 

But then he dragged us all through THE DECISION again.  I was less understanding, but ultimately happy when he joined the Minnesota Vikings and continued his epic career.

Then before the 2010 season, he announced his retirement...and then, practically instantly it seemed, came back for another season.  I wasn't understanding anymore.  I wasn't sympathetic.  My abusive relationship with Brett Favre was coming to an end.  Instead of blindly following along out of loyalty, I was finally starting to get fed up.  I can only get strung along for so long before becoming apathetic.

The final straw, of course, came with the allegations that he sent lewd pictures of himself  to a woman on the Jets' staff when he played in New York.  Athletes should have personal lives, and if he wants to text pictures of his junk to people, I'm really ok with that, except now the legendary quarterback is becoming a joke.  It's becoming comical to watch him unravel.  He's injured, he's got serious allegations against him, he's being fined by the league, and no one can take him seriously anymore.  He's at the end of the line, and he needs to walk away for good.

Wisconsin needs two wins to claim at least a share of the Big Ten title and perhaps its first BCS bowl bid.  Today's game is against Michigan.  Next week is Northwestern.  I'm thinking our chances are pretty good!
