On January 22, 2010, the Green Bay Packers announced that they would raise ticket prices for the 2010 season. My tickets increased $9 each. I’ve got the highest price sideline tickets, at $72 last year. Now they’re $81. I’m not happy about the whole thing, but I want to explain.
The Packers have the lowest ticket [...]

So, Brett Favre’s season is over. As for his career, who knows? I’ve done my share of critizing Favre for his decisions over the past two years. I’ve even slammed him a bit via twitter. So, here are my final thoughts on Favre after this season.
First and foremost, let’s agree that Favre had a good [...]

So Brett Favre gave an interview with Joe Buck today on Buck’s new HBO show. I’ve seen a couple of video clips from the interview, and I’ve read some of Favre’s comments. It’s very clear to me that all Buck did was give Favre a platform to say whatever he wanted. He didn’t ask the [...]

Jennifer Hudson sang the Star Spangled Banner before the Super Bowl. And again, I didn’t like it.
First of all, why the lip sync? I attend sporting events all the time, and having the anthem sung live works just fine. They did it live at the St. Norbert College hockey game last night. They do it [...]

It’s over folks. Favre is through. He’s done. And the controversy of which I speak is not just here in Green Bay, but also in New York.
Last summer, the Favre saga split us Packer fans down the middle. Were you for him or against him? Were you a Favre fan or a Rodgers fan? Did [...]

I mentioned in a blog entry a few weeks back that at the annual Green Bay Packers Shareholders meeting, we filmed a commercial for Citgo after the meeting. They just needed some folks to stick around and mostly make up the crowd shots. So my friend JJ and I did that.
I just got a recording [...]

I’ve got some pretty slick score updates for the Anaheim Angels coming to my cell phone now-a-days. I’ve been subscribed to game updates through Yahoo Alerts for several years. Now I’ve set it up so that when an update is sent, it goes to a program on my web server first, which parses the text [...]

I don’t live off sarcasm often, but I just couldn’t help it with the title of this blog entry. Sorry.
Geez. Brett Favre left town today; he headed back home to Hattiesburg, MS. And the headlines on local 6:00 news indicate that Favre has played his last game for the Green Bay Packers. And now everyone [...]

In the middle of July every year, I join my fellow Packers shareholders at the annual meeting. This year was no exception. I was at Lambeau Field a little more than a week ago, on Thursday July 23. I love this meeting.
Even though the tickets are all general admission, I always prefer to sit in [...]

The Brett Favre unretirement issue has been brewing for a few weeks now. And I have yet to write about it. As a Green Bay Packers shareholder and season ticket owner, I definitely have some strong feelings about what is right. And like all Packer fans, if you’re feelings are different than mine, then you’re [...]

My favorite TV news man died today. Tim Russert was the NBC Washington bureau chief, and for the past 17 years, moderator of Meet The Press. Russert was at the NBC studios in Washington this morning when he collapsed from a heart attack, what his doctor called a “sudden coronary thrombosis”. He died immediately.
When it [...]

The sportsmanship committee of the WIAA is recommending a ban against fans with bare or painted chests from indoor games. The story is all over the internet, including our local TV station, Fox 11 news, who ran the story along with a clip of some boys from West De Pere High School who had painted [...]
