"I AND MY BROTHER AGAINST MY COUSIN, I AND MY COUSIN AGAINST THE WORLD"

I always liked that line - sports, politics, life in general. I could never see rooting against our own arch-rivals when they go up against whoever from wherever else in the country/world.

Specifically now, I'm referring to the Big Ten - basketball in this case. My Badgers are off to a great start. I lost my voice yelling at the TV about the God damned officials trying to steal the game from them - that mugging over the back of Gasser with a minute to go the worst of it. However, I was just about as happy to see Michigan State which I hate, and Izzo who I worse than hate beat #1 overrated Kentucky.

GO BADGERS! Go Big Ten!

Down with the OVERRATED S.E.C and A.C.C in football and basketball.

Jackson and our press break more than the officials lead to the Gators coming back.. my kids JV team run a more effective press package.. leave Jackson get hung out in the trap without help was the start. Jackson taking his damn time and basically walking into the traps was another.

Yes.. even though I hope we can knock them off, it was good for the Big Ten to feast a bit on the SEC in Basketball.. now if we can catch them in the pigskin. Badgers have a shot at putting the landscape on notice next season vs LSU in Houston could be a start.

Bama and LSU in 2016 at Lambeau as well.. lets dance.

Then again Howard Taylor (whoever the heck he is ) said "The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less." so you got that to think about as well.

When it comes to the NFL, I hope the Bears go 14-2 with their only two losses to the Pack, be on the cusp of ending their 27 year drought (long may it continue), build up their wildest dreams and hopes; only for the Packers to deliver the fatal, devestating blow to their playoff lives. The fall hurts much more from the top, and I'm willing to deal with their bullishness during the season (and I live in chicago) only to see them so completely and utterly crushed at the end of the year.

I do think you may need to be careful with your feelings towards the Bears however. If those thoughts ever made it into an official psychological evaluation you may be in for a rather startling diagnosis. Its borderline sadistic to say the least...and I like it.

TheKanataThrilla (2m) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (7m) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (1h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (1h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (3h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (3h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (4h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (4h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (4h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (4h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (4h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (6h) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (8h) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (8h) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (8h) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (8h) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (14h) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (15h) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (20h) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (20h) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (21h) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (21h) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (21h) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (21h) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (22h) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (22h) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha

wpr (22h) : He played pretty good.

Zero2Cool (23h) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53

Zero2Cool (23h) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks

schroeder84 (26-Aug) : @dfosterf I suspect Elgersma WILL be hard to hide. Raw, but talented

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : pp.com is broken, halt testing, gotta go do work things for a bit

hardrocker950 (26-Aug) : Mecole Hardman was released, to the surprise of few

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : PP.com updated. Reset Password works, and now User Profile pages are a thing

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : Soft hope plan is having fantasy football weekly on-site that i build. cannot do that with this setup.

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It's older technology, resource hog, cannot be upgraded/changed. That's to start.

packerfanoutwest (25-Aug) : Ok, but what is wrong with this site?

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : check out packerpeople.com

Mucky Tundra (25-Aug) : Oh crap I missed that! I thought it was a 2026 pick

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : It wasn't even next year pick, it's two years away. old dog food value

Mucky Tundra (25-Aug) : Yep! Everytime a team trades with Howie that team is the loser (so says the media)

Zero2Cool (25-Aug) : We are hosed.
