Published: Dec. 9, 2008 - 05:25 a.m. - Aaron Rodgers' first season as a starting quarterback in Green Bay hasn't been bad.

The jury is still out on whether "A-Rodg" is "A-OK"

Bucks need help from gym rats and junkyard dogs
Published: Nov. 11, 2008 - 05:27 a.m. - It's too early to tell if it's a momentary blip or if there has been a tidal wave that could some day lead to a title, but the Bucks have some scrappy, "gym rat" players that are showing the type of intensity that has been missing from the Bradley Center in recent seasons.

After all the ups and downs, the payoff was fantastic
Published: Sept. 30, 2008 - 05:29 a.m. - The passion and patience for a baseball team are unlike the fandom for any other sport. And baseball is unlike any other sport. In football, you have a whole week between games to either get over a loss and get ready for the next team or enjoy your victory and get ready for the next team. In basketball, the game moves so fast and with such magic intensity that you hardly have time to greet the person sitting next to you. Baseball is like your favorite old pair of blue jeans or that sweater with the hole in it that you just can't throw away.
