Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is going around saying that GOP leaders that don’t show support for Donald Trump this fall “face a penalty” if they plan to run for the White House themselves in the future. Priebus is hinting that the party will somehow work against non-Trump backers and prevent them from getting…… READ MORE

A Lot of Bad Football
I spent too much time watching too much bad football this weekend. We got in from our Saturday morning golf tournament to find the Wisconsin Badgers struggling against the Georgia State Panthers at Camp Randall Stadium, in what should have been a cakewalk. The blame for the poor showing was being placed on 5th…… READ MORE
The “If Sully Was” Game
The number one movie is America is Sully, the story of pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger (and co-pilot Jeff Skiles–who seems to be getting the short-shift in all of this hype) and their landing of a US Airways flight on the Hudson River after double engine failure caused by ingesting a flock of Canada geese during takeoff. …… READ MORE
The Rules Are The Rules For a Reason
It was the college football play of the year–so far. Central Michigan completes a Hail Mary and lateral play that gets it a game winning touchdown on a final–untimed–down to defeat Oklahoma State last Saturday. It was a situation we all love: the “little guy” sticking it to the “big guy”. The only problem is,…… READ MORE
Not Completely Selling Out
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…… READ 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…… READ 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…… READ 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…… READ 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…… READ 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…… READ MORE
