Packers-Vikings games might be switched
PACKERS-VIKINGS SCHEDULE ALERT!
There is a slight possibility that the two games between the Packers and Vikings this year will be swapping venues. You can thank the Minnesota Twins if this happens.

Pack stick it to rival Bears to open season
It was sure a wild one Sunday night at Lambeau Field. One team threw four interceptions, direct snapped a punt to a running back and pretty much tried to rely on their defense all night. That team was the Chicago Bears.
Then there was the Packers. Only blemish was Aaron Rodgers getting sacked in the end zone for a safety. The Packers win the latest in the oldest rivalry by a score of 21-15. Al Harris sealed the game by intercepting the ball from Jay Cutler. I actually told some co-workers at work (who are Bear fans) that Cutler would throw four picks.
The next game for the Packers is Sunday, September 20 at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. Game time is 12:00PM CDT on CBS (regional).

Badgers go double OT against Bulldogs
It wasn't pretty, but the Wisconsin Badgers were able to beat the Fresno State Bulldogs by a score of 34-31 in two overtimes. The Badgers final non-conference game (other than Hawaii after Thanksgiving) is at home against the Division I-AA Wofford Terriers. The game is Saturday, September 19 at 11:00AM CDT. It will be shown on the Big Ten Network.
Subway restaurants stopped selling pizzas
I stopped at a Pilot truck stop in Remington, Indiana late Friday night and decided to order a couple mini pizzas from the 24-hour Subway located inside. I come to find out that the corporate heads decided to stop offering the pizzas about a week earlier. This greatly disappointed me. The pizzas were selling fairly well at the restaurants I visited.

Parra exits early, Cards take game two
Brewers starter Manny Parra exited the game Tuesday with a neck injury. It was up to the bullpen from the second inning on. Kind of scary when you think about it. The Brewers led 3-0 going into the sixth inning against the division leaders. The Cards would chip away -- eventually winning the game in the ninth inning off of the Crew's closer, Trevor Hoffman. The Cardinals take game two by a score of 4-3. The Brewers will try to avoid a sweep on Wednesday at 1:05PM CDT.

The Wisconsin Badgers football team opened up with a win Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium over the Northern Illinois Huskies. Even though the final score was 28-20, it was 28-6 after three quarters. The next game is Saturday, Sept. 12 at 11:00AM CDT. They play the Fresno State Bulldogs on ESPN.
Brewers try, can't defeat Giants on Fox
The Brewers tried to fight back Saturday, but just couldn't beat the San Francisco Giants on Fox. Once again, the final score was 3-2. The Crew will try to avoid a sweep at 1:05PM CDT on Sunday.
Packers trade Moll, release 18, place 4 on IR
The Green Bay Packers Saturday traded OL Tony Moll to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for DB Derrick Martin.
They also released 18 players, including QB Brian Brohm.
In addition, they placed 4 players on injured reserve. This includes draft bust Justin Harrell.
You can view all the cuts and IR moves here.
I'll probably have more later. I'm watching the Badgers on BTN right now.

Crew gives up lead to Giants, lose
The Brewers scored two runs in the first inning Friday, but the lead wouldn't last. The San Francisco Giants came back to beat the Crew, 3-2. Game two is Saturday at 3:05PM CDT.
Favre $10K lighter
Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre was fined $10,000 Friday for that illegal crackback block he did against the Texans' Eugene Wilson this past Monday.
My blog about the play in question is here. I guess the NFL made You Tube pull the plug on the video.

Bush gets roughed up at Busch
Brewers starting pitcher Dave Bush got roughed up Wednesday at Busch Stadium III in St. Louis. The bullpen was warming up in the second inning with no outs as the Crew was down 5-1. Bush then was able to get the Cards to hit into a double play. The Cardinals still won by a score of 10-3. The Brewers will hope to avoid a sweep Thursday at 1:15PM CDT.

Crew tries, can't comeback against Cards
Brewers 3B Casey McGehee hit a three-run home run in the first inning Tuesday, but the Cardinals proved to be too much for the Crew in St. Louis. The Cardinals took game one by a score of 7-6. Game two is Wednesday at 7:15PM CDT.
Favre now resorting to dirty plays in exhibition season
Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre, lining up in the slot on a unconventional gadget play (AKA Wildcat formation play) in the third quarter Monday, threw an illegal "crackback block" on Houston Texans' safety Eugene Wilson. Wilson had to leave the game with an undetermined injury. Have a look below:
What next for Favre? Is he going to pull out a gun, like from the movie "The Last Boy Scout" and start shooting?
