| 1. | Some fearless (and fun) political predictions for 2009 Published: Jan. 9, 2009 - 11:37 a.m. - The bong of soothsaying may be hazy, as it always has been, but we're trying to offer some clarity to discussions of what may be greet us in the next year. To create a map for the forthcoming year (and because it's fun), here are a few predictions that most likely will not come to fruition in 2009 and should not be taken to Vegas for the purposes of economic stimulus prospecting. |
| 2. | The jury is still out on whether "A-Rodg" is "A-OK" Published: Nov. 18, 2008 - 05:30 a.m. - A good quarterback can lift a team. A great one can carry a team. A bad one can drag it down. A horrible one can sink a team. It's tough to say where Aaron Rodgers belongs on the scale, but many Packers fans -- not to mention the front office and coaching staff -- seem blind to the flaws he has shown as a first-year starter. |
| 3. | Saturday Scorecard: As the sporting world turns... Published: Nov. 1, 2008 - 4:46 p.m. - For the second time in six years, the Brewers tried to hire Ken Macha. This time, it worked. Dale Sveum was gone, but now it looks like he's back. Aaron Rodgers got paid big bucks, while Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila was shown the door. |
| 4. | Saturday Scorecard: Separating truth from fiction Published: Sept. 20, 2008 - 07:23 a.m. - The standings and schedule may indicate that the Brewers still have a chance for a playoff berth. The reality is that they've blown it by losing a boatload of games in September. Jeff Suppan's hideous outing Friday night in Cincinnati may have been the final straw. |
| 5. | Metcalf's DVD Screening Room: Sept. 13, 2008 Published: Sept. 13, 2008 - 05:29 a.m. - In this week's installment of the Screening Room, Mark Metcalf explores themes of mortality in two different pictures. He looks at "Wit" and "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" (pictured). |
| 6. | Betting on Rodgers pays off for Packers' brass Published: Sept. 11, 2008 - 05:17 a.m. - The Packers were right. Aaron Rodgers can play. To have this front office in Green Bay right now, without the overbearing presence of a single, mega-millionaire owner, is a blessing most Packers fans don't appreciate. |
| 7. | Fair or not, Rodgers faces pressure to succeed Published: Aug. 17, 2008 - 05:03 a.m. - Aaron Rodgers has taken over as the leader of the Pack. Unfortunately, he's expected to duplicate last year's success with the same shortcomings as a year ago. |
| 8. | Casting call: Pick the stars for a Favre blockbuster Published: Aug. 13, 2008 - 05:28 a.m. - A week has passed since the Packers traded iconic quarterback Brett Favre to the New York Jets. Now that the drama has ended, it's time to start thinking about the movie. |

The time to deny it is over. At some point after last year's painful loss in the NFC Championship game, Favre decided in his own mind that he was simply done being a Packer. |
| 11. | No matter the result, Thompson, Favre look like kids Published: Aug. 3, 2008 - 05:13 a.m. - Brett Favre and Ted Thompson's staring contest could come to an end in the next few days. No matter what happens, both men will suffer from damaged reputations. |
| 12. | Memo to Marquette fans: Get over it, already Published: April 9, 2008 - 05:25 a.m. - What, did you really believe that 10-year contract nonsense? Were you buying that Crean had found a "home for life" at the gritty, gutsy, urban basketball program where Al McGuire once famously coached the Warriors to glory? Please. |
| 13. | Favre, Thompson deny rift Published: March 7, 2008 - 05:20 a.m. - Brett Favre says he was tired. Others think it was a frosty relationship with GM Ted Thompson that drove him to retirement. |

| 19. | Packers GM Thompson gets contract extension Published: Jan. 7, 2008 - 1:04 p.m. - General manager Ted Thompson signs a new deal that will keep him in Green Bay through 2012 |
| 20. | Fearless (and fun) predictions for the year ahead Published: Jan. 2, 2008 - 05:15 a.m. - As the new year dawns, soothsaying seems natural. Though some predictions will be swept away by the tides, we reserve the right to say "Told you so." |

| 24. | Running woes make Packers pretenders Published: Oct. 21, 2007 - 05:14 a.m. - Brett Favre looks like his old self and the Packers are 5-1. While it's an impressive start, a lack of running game makes the team a pretender in the playoff race. |
| 25. | Analyzing the analysts in the wake of the draft Published: May 4, 2007 - 05:21 a.m. - OMC sports columnist Dave Begel believes that it takes two or three years to properly evaluate an NFL team's draft class. That won't stop him, however, from issuing grades to the 'experts' who took it upon themselves to critique the picks. |
