Pelsi comments>>>

How much will this affect soccer in America?

-10% Detracts interest, MLS teams contract, Leno and Letterman have weeks on end of jokes.
1% Barely a blip in interest, attendance goes up 1 week then drops, Beckhams resort to co-hosting SNL next year for attention
10% Solid increase in interest, MLS looks to expand, Spice Girls reunite?
100% Doubles the fan interest, overtakes hockey, Americans demand World Cup every year?
1000% Ten fold increase in interest, overtakes golf as #4 sport in US, other Euro stars follow?

My Space

I know that a lot of people younger than us have My Space websites showing all sorts of information about them, but I never ever would have thought that one of us would have their own My Space page. I was looking up each of our names in the My Space search function and found that Cheek has his own site. Cheek, you need to clean up the page a little though and make it look alive. Plus, who is the Tom guy in your list of friends and why is he your only friend?

So who is your #2 favorite Badger

Butch has had some big games, but also seems to disappear in big games.

Taylor is the easy choice since he is consistent and more importantly, he looks like Chris Rock.

Landry is a force off the bench and is from Milwaukee, but gets my honorable mention for his intangibles.

But I have to go with Flowers. His hustle, defense, ability to drive to the hoop and to make the big play earns him my award for second favorite player on the team.

So who are we supposed to believe?

So the Badgers (football) are #7 in the AP and #5 in the USA Today. I am confused. I always joke about the fact that the USA today is just a headline paper with no substance, but I assumed it was still part of the AP? They have their own poll? Oh wait, the USA Today is also the "Coaches poll", but which team do they coach? So who are we supposed to believe, the coaches or the press? Even though Nick Saban proved coaches cannot be trusted, I am going to have to side with them over the AP. I mean, isn't their whole goal simply to give as many terrorists as they can the top secret information that is posted on the internet and in public libraries? Also, Boise is not even a state, don't they receive some kind of demerit for that?

But then I get to the basketball rankings, and those Badgers are #3 in the AP and #4 in the USA Today/Coaches poll. What gives? The AP let me down above, and then pulled through here?

You can own this helmet signed by Brett Favre.

It commemorates breaking the all-time completions record.

Where is Carlye Holiday's signature?

Honor Roll Bumper Stickers

I was recently driving home from work the other day and happened to be following a car with a bumper sticker saying the following:

My child is on the Honor Roll
Riverside University High School
Home of the Mighty Tigers

As I started thinking about this bumper sticker, I wondered if we could produce our own bumper stickers with phrases about our alma maters. I would love to see Pelsis get this bumper sticker to place next to his "I Closed Wolski's" bumper sticker:

My child is on the Honor Roll
Riverside University High School
Home of the Mighty Pelsi

I believe Pelsi would be the plural form of Pelsis and since there were at least two Pelsis children that went to Riverside, it would be a fitting new nickname. Now if only I could come up with something for the New Berlin West Vikings and Waukesha South Blackshirts, we could all have some kick @ss high school honor roll bumper stickers. I would try to figure out Rotz's high school and nickname, but he doesn't check the blog, so what's the point!

Top 10 Athletes of All Time

1-10. Brett Favre

Favre 4 Ever (2)

I'm torn. The ending to the season (and if it's his career) was rather storybook. So what, that maybe it was storybook in that Rocky Balboa type way. So they didn't make the playoffs, they proved they're not a joke. Last year, was definitely Rocky V, and that was no way to end it. This year he proved he still has it. Where do the Packers stand without him? Is there anyway they can build off the final month into next season without their leader? Is there anyway that he can be convinced to return? Has he really gotten it all of him? He's left his heart on the field everytime he's ever suited up, there's more in there isn't there?

Favre 4 Ever

After watching the Packer game last night and seeing Brett Favre’s postgame interview, I am 95% sure we have seen the last of our favorite quarterback donning the #4 Green Bay Packers jersey. If you guys have not see this interview, check it out at NBC Sports. Brett Favre is the best quarterback of his generation and I believe better than any other quarterback he has ever gone up against in his 16 season career. Pelsis, I would really like to see what Tim wrote about Brett Favre that ended up getting deleted. I only hope the Packers can be successful in the post-Favre era.
