Green Bay Packers defensive back Charles Woodson is making his second trip to the Super Bowl. As he makes his next trip to the NFL title game to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl 45, his play is aging like a fine wine. And it’s fitting because Woodson is an oenophile who developed his interest in wine while playing for Oakland, near the world famous Napa Valley. … [Read more...] about Packers Woodson Aging Like Wine, Deserved Higher Spot Among Big 10 Icons

Wrapping up the 2010 Chicago Bears Season
And so it ends … When Calvin Johnson erroneously placed the football on the ground of the end zone in the closing seconds of the first game of the season, I immediately thought it would be a long season. The Bears were about to lose to the Lions … at home! However, thanks to the replay gods and an awful rule, the Bears were given a gift and a first-week win. This … [Read more...] about Wrapping up the 2010 Chicago Bears Season
Packers Stun Bears En Route to Super Bowl

Badgers Destroy ‘Cats; Wisconsin Crushes Chicago in 1st Part of Sun Doubleheader
As extremely lopsided as the college football meeting was between these teams, the Northwestern vs. Wisconsin college basketball contest was even more one-sided.

Alphonso Smith is the Goat for the Lions, Brady Hero for the Pats
The Detroit Lions fell flat on the biggest stage of the season for that franchise. I am talking about a figurative stage, not the one that Michigan born and bred Kid Rock performed on during the half. In fairness, the team did play well for the majority of the game. They did, however, fall flat on their face during the latter moments of play on Thursday. The few bright spots of … [Read more...] about Alphonso Smith is the Goat for the Lions, Brady Hero for the Pats
