Brewers over Diamondbacks in 5.



Phillies over Cards in 4

MLB Playoff Predictions- Part 2




Detroit Tigers v. New York Yankees.




Sorry, Yankees, this year the AL Central is not sending the Twins, so no more first-round bye. If Verlander wins today, it could be Detroit in 4. Let's say Detroit in 5 to be safe.

A re-match of last year's ALDS. This one is pretty much a coin toss. Hard to pick agaisnt Tampa Bay. But Texas is the better team.

It's Bears-Packers Week





Yes, I will be at Soldier Field on Sunday, but not very confident after last's week's Saints game,
But it's still Packers' Hate week!

Joke #1
Q: You are on an island with a Packers fan, a cannibal and a zombie. You have a gun with two bullets. Who do you shoot? A: The Packers fan, twice, just to be sure.






Joke #2
Cheesehead School teacher

A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Cheesehead.

She asks her students to raise their hands if they are
Cheeseheads too.

No one really knowing what a Cheesehead was, but wanting
to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like flashy
fireworks.

There is, however, one exception. A girl named Kristen
who has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has
decided to be different.

“Because I’m not a Cheesehead.”

“Then”, asks the teacher, “what are you?”

“Why, I’m a proud bear Fan,” boasts the little girl.

The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks
Kristen why she is a rebel.

“Well, my mom and dad are Bear Fans, so I’m a Bear Fan too.”

The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly. “What if
your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?”

A pause, and a smile. “Then,” says Kristen, “I’d be a Cheesehead

Joke # 3


Q: Why did Clay Matthews get so excited after he finished his jigsaw puzzle in only 6 months?
A: Because on the box it said From 2-4 years.

RIP, Orlando Brown

I will miss Ozzie's post-games if he is gone after the season. And my guess is that he is gone after the season. It might be time for a change. And enough of the Ozzie- Kenny Williams Soap Opera already!
