New York Knicks Declare Commitment to Underwhelming Seasons
Posted: 4th July 2010 by WI-OH Sports Fan in NBA
New York, NY (WI-OH SportsNet) — Confirming prior suspicions and months of poorly-kept secrets and rumors, the New York Knicks recently announced their intentions to blow the NBA's 2010 offseason "bonanza" of free agency in any way possible.
"Don't worry about it," Knicks team president of basketball operations Donnie Walsh told a group of reporters at an eagerly-anticipated "Disbelieve In 2010-11" media event this morning. "Whatever you weren't expecting us to achieve, we've ...
The Pack Have Won Four In A Row, But Can They Finish Strong?

Four in a row for the Packers; can you believe it?
I certainly don't and you probably don't, either. Just five weeks removed from my particularly scathing article about the Packers' issues and four weeks after their "surprising" win over Dallas, the Packers have gone on a tear, winning four games in a row.
Once at 4-4 and coming off a loss to a then-"all-defeated" (neologism time!) team, the Packers now have ...
Credit Where Credit Is Due: Life After The Packers’ Win Over Dallas

á
This just in: The Packers played an outstanding game.
Yes, IÆm admitting that, even as Green BayÆs self-appointed chief pessimist as of late. After seemingly bottoming out against the then-winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers the weekend before last, they managed to defeat the red-hot Dallas Cowboys by a score of 17-7 with countless Dallas and Green Bay fans looking on.
No, I didnÆt see it coming, either. After hearing of the PackersÆloss ...
Time To Send a Few Packers Packing: Life After the Bucs Loss
Posted: 9th November 2009 by WI-OH Sports Fan in NFL
About a week ago, I wrote an article following the Packers' then-latest and "greatest" embarrassing loss to the Minnesota Vikings. In it, I detailed the "lessons learned" from that lousy lossùat least in my opinionùand then said what I'd hoped they'd learned from the incident.
As well, I agreed with most other in the sports world that the Packers would have an opportunity to exhale and regroup against the then-winlessùor, as ...
New Orleans, Let’s Avoid Partying Like It’s 2002
Posted: 3rd November 2009 by WI-OH Sports Fan in NFL
As of this writing, there is no place many die-hard New Orleans Saints fans would rather be at the moment than the Louisiana Superdome. After all, their Saintsùoff to an outstanding 7-0 startùare a far cry from the pejoratively nicknamed "Aints" of yesteryear, with impressive offensive production from players like Drew Brees and Jeremy Shockey, and a cast of other outstanding players on both ends of the game contributing to ...
Lessons Learned From the Packers After the Vikings Loss
Posted: 2nd November 2009 by WI-OH Sports Fan in NFL
Remember when, in the aftermath of the Hurricane Katrina fiasco and right around the Republican Party's 2006 electoral implosion, it was discovered that then-President George W. Bush had hired a "Director of Lessons Learned" (the White House circa 2006's words, not mine) to the tune of around $110,000 a year to do nothing more than apparently analyze the "lessons learned" from Brownie's heck of a job?
If you didn't, you do ...
