Thank god your logo doesn't look like this

Check out this logo that the Mets are using to commemorate the first year in their ballpark.

Contrast it to the best logo in all of sports (even one of my Boston Red Sox fans thinks so). BRING IT BACK!

We have a Marty Conlon sighting!

Saw this on a recent Bucks broadcast (thank goodness for the NBA League Pass!). Marty Conlon was one of those names that you could say to weed out real Bucks fans from fake ones... the real Bucks fans wouldn't be able to hold back a laugh. (Other names: Fred Roberts, Paul Mokeski, Randy Breuer. Maybe I should be a little more diverse in my choice).



Marty was actually a fan favorite... if I remember right, he had the most awkward looking jump shot where his left elbow swung straight out. But he was a dead accurate shooter.

Any other fan favorites out there? Any other names that you would throw out if I held a gun to your head and said "Prove that you're a Bucks fan?"

Trevor Hoffman... much better than Gagne!

Top 10 Reasons Why Trevor Hoffman is a Great Signing

His ERA is almost a run and a half lower than Gagne
He's $2.5-4 million cheaper than Gagne
We might actually consider offering him arbitration, and some team might actually consider signing him, so we can get a draft pick and get the next Ryan Braun
He hasn't taken HGH
He didn't STOP taking HGH
We haven't had a good closer song since "Wild Thing"
I don't hafta listen to my Red Sox fan friends laugh at me anymore for signing their garbage for $10 million
We can trade Cameron to the Yankees now
He can teach Tony Gwynn Jr how to hit pitchers other than himself
We get to see his SportsCenter commercial again

Gotta love them cookies

So one Milwaukee secret is Midwest Airlines... They have a nice flight out of Dayton, Ohio to Milwaukee (they have a hub in Milwaukee) so I can head home for the holidays for a decent price. What's the big secret? Well they serve fresh baked chocolate chip cookies right on board. You gotta love it when they give you two cookies with the chocolate chips still gooey. I usually take a nap on the flights, but I manage to stay awake on Midwest flights!

That's our Brett

Just finished watching an ESPN Sportscenter story on Thomas Jones criticizing Brett Favre... Well welcome to the Brett Favre roller coaster ride that us Packer fans all know about. He's always been the gunslinger, risk-taker type. I call it the "Brett Favre chuck and duck." He seems to be playing within himself, managing the game, we might be down, and then it's almost as if he gets bored and decides to chuck it. But dang, he was fun to watch. I'd take Brett any day over the 21 QBs the Bears went through while he was the Packer QB.

I was shocked when he announced his retirement... and then when we traded him to the Jets I refused to picture him with a Jets uniform. But I can honestly say, after a week or so, it didn't really matter anymore... Brett was just a veteran QB trying to lead another team. Plus I think Aaron Rodgers will be awesome. I'm actually tempted to get myself a Favre Jets jersey since I can probably get it pretty cheap and it'd be neat to have.


Just for fun, here's the list of QBs the Bears went through in the Favre era:

Henry Burris, Chris Chandler, Will Furrer, Brian Griese, Rex Grossman, Jim Harbaugh, Chad Hutchinson, Erik Kramer, Craig Krenzel, Dave Krieg, Shane Matthews, Cade McNown, Jim Miller, Rick Mirer, Moses Moreno, Kyle Orton, Jonathan Quinn, Steve Stenstrom, Kordell Stewart, Steve Walsh, Peter Tom Willis.

Wisconsin claim to fame: Packer bikini girls

My friend Morris has a blog where he posts about random stuff that he’s thinking about. He has no other niche or strategy, but he says he gets a few hundred readers a day. Sometimes he randomly is in the top results of certain Google searches… one of them turns out to be a posting on the Packers bikini girls. I’m happy the zaniess of fans of my hometown team can provide traffic to his blog! Looks like he’s at it again with a follow up post on the Packers bikini girls…

The Bungles

I really shouldn’t take pleasure in other people’s misery, but for some reason the Bengals sucking always makes me feel better about my team…
