Blue Monday Green and Gold

“Well, at least the Packers’ __________.” The worst part is that you can’t finish this sentence because they did nothing well. Offense, defense, kicking, tackling, covering, throwing, running, catching, blocking, coaching: all bad. I was watching the game and the late Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart called me during the 3rd quarter and said, “Remember when I said I’d know obscenity when I saw it? ” I tell you it was a complete Forest Gregg, a solid Phil Bengston of a performance. Scooter McLean showed up for alumni weekend and took over as head coach. Estus Hood had to have been somewhere on the field. Thank God nobody got killed. And then it rained. Jeebus.
- Badger Blogger has a nice video slide show of the speakers at the Milwaukee Tea Party. You know, the people Mike Tate, the Wisconsin Democratic Party chairman called “extremist elements pulling together, distinct vocal minorities that frankly don’t believe in this country.” Remember that in 2010.
- The Common Council will discuss the homeless shelter. A large population of Green Bay Packer offensive linemen will be out on the streets this winter.
- The county plans on talking about building a new Huber facility.
- The Freeman completes its pointless series on police departments in Waukesha County.
- Pewaukee’s double-secret police chief already quit.
- Pewaukee’s Common Council will discuss a full-time mayor. Trust me: Don’t do it.
- Flu parties sound like a really lousy idea.
- Milwaukee is trying to discourage underage drinking parties around UWM. You really want to discourage them? Look at the fines La Crosse is levying on some students. “Mom, Dad, I got a $9000 fine. Could you send me a check?”
- Is high speed rail “on the fast track”? It’s a Liberal plan to send us to the poor house.
- I thought this was funny:

If you think watching that game on TV was bad, try watching it in person. Urgh… although the feelings of being there watching a great win in person (Bears game) outweigh those of watching a terrible loss. Having said that, this year’s Bengals are not a bad team – this is a lot like last year when the Packers lost an October game to the Falcons, who were horrible in 2007 but a playoff team in 2008.
McCarthy needs to get some things fixed (and not just pay lip service to doing so), or else he will be on the hot seat by season’s end. This is a talented, playoff-quality team. One year of underperforming is an anomaly. Two is a pattern…
Didn’t get to see the game out here – a Bengston, Gregg, McLean performance – geez, it must have been bad! The Bungels are a bad team with a good quarterback and decent passing game. If you let then hang around they can beat you. Fortunately, my fantasy football opponent must have thought highly of the Packers D and benched Carson Palmer and started Matt Hasselback instead who left the game with an injury.
