The OTAs are the first chance the new rookies have to show the team what they have. As many of your know, we have a few guys that are going to be given a chance to at least challenge the incumbent player so there are some guys to watch ... namely Burnett, Bulaga, Quarless, etc ... OTAs began May 16 but some players, such as Brian Bulaga, have to miss them in order to finish their schooling. More after the jump ... BULAGA: As I mentioned earlier, Bulaga is back finishing up school. He got some

I'd never heard of The Wild Party , a musical based on a poem written by Joseph Moncure March in 1928. So I was curious about Music Theatre of Madison's production of Andrew Lippa's show, which had a short off-Broadway run in 2000 and has an even shorter run at the Bartell Theatre through Saturday ...

 - One stat I'd like to see a lot more of is the hurry. The Green Bay Packers keep track of pressure/hurries during each season but they rarely share that information. The sack is a useful stat but knowing whether the QB was forced to hurry his throw can be valuable too. According to Football Outsiders the average pass play does much better when the QB is not hurried (though QB Aaron Rodgers is one of the few QBs who does well despite pressure). They listed LB Clay Matthews (21 hurries in

The Green Bay Packers exciting news about changes on the board of directors just doesn't interest me, but there are some things going on around the NFL.  ...  - The Raiders are so dumb. They want $9.55 million back from QB JaMarcus Russell. The guy wasn't worth a nickel, but they, released, him. You were stupid enough to draft him, and you're not getting your money back ...  - The L.A. stadium project moves forward (complete with a mini-scandal involving the Mayor) which makes the

I've always been a fan of former Green Bay Packer safety Matt Bowen, who's just wrote a good article on where another former Packer safety, Darren Sharper, might land. And why Taylor Mays slipped in the draft. I also got to ask him a couple questions about how the Packers did in the 2010 NFL draft.  ... APC: You wrote that the selection of Bryan Bulaga was a standout move. On one hand I can believe that he slid out of the top 10 because the teams in front of the Packers either didn't need an
