Wisconsin is not the same team it was a year ago. Alando Tucker has really stepped up his game this year adn is a real superstar now. They played some tough teams this year and won most of them. They dropped the ball once at Michigan State but beat them in the playoffs. There only other loss was to ...

Pure LSD is one of the safest drugs out there. It is non habit forming with no known long term affects. It might make you think you can fly though. Pot is definitely too high on that list.

Calvin Johnson is a beast. I watched the combine on the NFL Network and he is just unbelievable. I am of the opinion that you pick the best player available in the first round and then need after that. Unfortuantely for the raiders, their need at QB far far far outweighs their need at WR. Johnson li...

I would love to see someone for favre that is actually worth throwing too but it isn't likely to be Moss. First, Moss is set to make 10 million dollars this year.

I live in the midle of farm country and I can say from direct observation that most of the small farms are gone. They are being bought out or forced out by the big farms.

I must say I had a premonition earlier in the day that OSU would lose. I am a football coach and I must say that a 51 day layoff is huge. Nothing replaces game speed in practice.
