Randy Couture: The Hero a Sport Needs

Sat, 8 Nov 2008 04:50:05 +1900

Mixed martial arts has always had an upward climb in this country and right now the sport is coming off of a series of terrible misfortunes. In a time when the sport is facing questions of legitimacy and the desire of fighters to compete, there is one man that can wipe away all the negative thinking

Macha's the Man, Sveum stays, Maddux leaves and more

Sat, 8 Nov 2008 00:37:25 +1900

Sorry for the lack of updates this past week. I've had a cold that's moved back and forth between my head and chest and I'm just now starting to feel like myself again. I know it's now been over a week but here's my thoughts on what's all going on over at One Miller Park Way.

Macha Is The Man

Sat, 1 Nov 2008 21:07:11 +2000

Milwaukee Brewers GM Doug Melvin didn't wait long too name is new manager. In fact, Ken Macha was Melvin's choice all along, going back as far as 2003 when Melvin first offered the job to Macha. Macha turned the job down and eventually Ned Yost was pegged as the choice.

Prince on the Block

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:19:47 +2000

It's now being widely reported that Doug Melvin is willing to listen to offers for Prince Fielder this winter. Hearing that leads me to believe that the Brewers aren't going to be players in trying to sign CC Sabathia or Ben Sheets. That leaves trading a young, power hitting first baseman to try

Brewers news and notes

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:41:47 +2000

There's quite a bit about the Brewers to talk about right now, so let's get right into it: It sounds like GM Doug Melvin might just interview Willie Randolph, Ken Macha and Bob Brenly and just pick one of the three. Bobby Valentine's name continues to be floating out there but it sounds like ...

The New Brewers Manager

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 21:49:58 +2000

Well we know that Dale Sveum is now out as a potential candidate to be Brewers skipper next year and from what I've read online, not a lot of people are happy with it. Personally, I couldn't be happier that Sveum is out.

Admirals lose a heart breaker to the Ice Hogs 4-3

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 16:38:10 +2000

"Hooking, holding, hooking, holding. Why don't we mix a roughing penalty in there." That was the initial thought from Milwaukee Admirals coach Lane Lambert after a crushing 4-3 loss to the Rockford Ice Hogs in a shoot out on Saturday night at the Bradley Center.

UFC 89 Review

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 16:35:04 +2000

As is usually the case with most UFC pay-per-views, the more I know going into a fight card, the less I really know after it's all done. I was an okay 3-2 on my predictions but was happy that several fighters I like won their fights.

BUCKS WIN!!!

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 23:58:09 +2000

So let me ask you all a question. If the Bucks win a game in China but no one watches it, does it still count? I really can't imagine there were too many people around town this morning tuned into ESPN Classic to watch the Bucks triumph over the Golden State Warriors, 98-94. Surprisingly enough, ...

Random musings on a Monday...Packers, Badgers, Admirals and more

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 00:54:14 +2000

I felt like hitting on a bunch of things today, so I'll get right into it. I thought yesterday was a nice win for the Packers over the Seahawks. I've heard lots of complaints saying that the Pack should have been more dominant against a horrible Seahawks team but I think a 10 point win on the ...

The Puck has Dropped

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 03:45:09 +2000

With so much focus on the Brewers playoff push and the Packers' medical staff treating more injuries than an emergency room, the start of hockey season has gotten lost in the shuffle. Milwaukee is a great hockey town and Wisconsin a spectacular hockey state, even without a NHL team within its border

Wrapping up the 2008 Milwaukee Brewers Pitching

Okay, after looking back at the offense it was painfully obvious that there needs to be several upgrades in the offseason. The pitching staff is a different story, however.

Wrapping up the 2008 Milwaukee Brewers Offense

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 20:50:27 +2000

Well, it has taken a few days for me to come to grips with the baseball season being over for the Brewers. I feel very lucky that I was able to attend both games this past weekend and won't soon forget the experience. I have never experienced anything like I did Saturday night at Miller Park.

If you've given up on the 2008 Brewers, do not read this

Sat, 4 Oct 2008 00:36:15 +2000

I've recently been taking a lot of criticism from one of the posters on our message boards. If I've written about it, he's bashed it. The latest hatred that he's spewing is my lack on thoughts and comments on this current week of baseball since my last post talked about the biggest baseball series

What a Beautiful Thing

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 02:31:14 +2000

I have professed my undying love for 90's music but let's be honest, not all the music from the decade was stellar. Take for instance the song that was voted the 39th on VH1's list of Most Awesomely Bad Songs...EVER: "Informer", by Snow. You all remember Snow.

The Mecca of Sports

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 01:35:58 +2000

In honor of all the memories that will be swirling around at Yankee Stadium all day and night, the song I'll take a look back at today is Blur's "Song 2". The song is Blur's biggest hit in the United States. The song was on the band's fifth album and the second release off of it.

It was a good day

The title of this blog is appropriate not only for the song I chose to talk about but also the events that occurred earlier today. First, a look back on a great song and then my thoughts on Ned Yost, Doug Melvin and the coach firing heard around the world.
