I’m not a Green Bay Packers fan, but I have to give the franchise credit for being one of the few teams willing to stand up to the idiocy of the NFL. This week, all of the teams unveiled their Nike “Color Rush” jerseys–which will be worn for primetime TV games. The “Color Rush” duds feature…… MORE
“Hiding” Hillary’s Health
The conspiracy theory that the mainstream media is “hiding” major health problems for Hillary Clinton is getting more traction this week after the former First Lady collapsed while leaving a 9/11 memorial service in New York over the weekend. The official statement from the campaign is that Mrs Clinton is suffering from pneumonia (which would…… MORE
9-11 Memories
Sometimes I’m asked what memories I have of 9/11. From a news reporter standpoint it was the biggest story of my lifetime–but when the anniversary of that day comes around every year, I choose not to think about the video footage, the press conferences or the mood of the people that day. Instead, I always…… MORE
Still Not Good Enough
Last week I gave you my Badgers predictions for the season (and was more than happy to be wrong about week one versus LSU) now it’s time for Packers picks you can take to the bank! Week 1 at Jacksonville–The Jags are getting better, but not good enough yet. Packers win 27-13 Week…… MORE
Hiding the Anthem
With more athletes joining Colin Kaepernick in his protest against the National Anthem, sports teams are engaging in a game of “Hide the Anthem”. Team USA Soccer star Megan Rapinoe joined the fray this month by “taking a knee” during the Anthem before a game with her Washington women’s professional league team. She announced that she…… MORE
The Last Saints
Over the weekend, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was canonized as a saint by Pope Francis. The nun’s canonization comes just a couple of years after Pope John Paul II was given the same honor–on a fast-track basis. The two may be the last “modern” saints to join the Catholic canon. The greatest challenge “modern…… MORE
A Down Year
The Wisconsin Badgers kick off their 2016 season this weekend at Lambeau Field–and I’m not filled with as much optimism for this year as I have been in the past. A killer schedule combined with the first real effects of the poor recruiting from the Gary Anderson years have the Cardinal and White looking at…… MORE
What He Meant To Say….I Think
One of the more entertaining aspects of the Presidential campaign so far has been watching the “surrogates” for Donald Trump try to explain what the GOP nominee’s platform is. Usually, lower-level politicians like that are provided with key talking points–and a few significant numbers–to memorize and provide in answers to all questions. But because the Trump…… MORE
Ignorance Is Bliss
The Obama Administration is moving into a new phase in the War On Terror: Ignore them and they might go away. In a speech in Bangladesh, Secretary of State John Kerry said the following: “Remember this: No country is immune from terrorism. It’s easy to terrorize. Government and law enforcement have to be correct…… MORE
Let Him Sit
Why are we so touchy about people who don’t show “proper patriotism”? We’ve heard plenty about American athletes not showing “respect” for their flag or the National Anthem the last couple of weeks. Gymnasts weren’t putting their hands over their hearts or singing along to the anthem at the Rio Olympics. And then on Friday, Colin…… MORE
