Says Packer coach Mike McCarthy, “Mason Crosby’s our kicker. He will be our kicker going forward. Zero interest in bringing in a kicker.” He’s a very talented kicker. Has some technical things he’ll clean up. Jeremy Kapinos will remain the holder.” If the way Mike McCarthy handles this Mason Crosby Can’t Kick a Field Goal To Save His Life Situation is in...

WiSKULLSiN grew a mustache
Just when you thought you couldn’t get any hipster-ier, the guys over at WiSKULLSiN came up with a new version of their hit logo shirt for the Milwaukee Area Mustache Association, or M.A.M.A. Don’t try to Google it, you won’t find anything. They are a covert operation, very secretive.
If you want in, I’d say your best bet is to grow a mustache first and then get the...

Wisco snowperson both functional and adorable!
Yeah that’s right, I said snowPERSON. Because I’m not gender-biased. Besides, what exactly about these three lumps of snow stacked one on top of another screams snowMAN to you anyway? Nothing. Do you see a snowPENIS? Or snowCHEST HAIR? How about a snowADAM’S APPLE? Is it playing snowMADDEN FOR XBOX360? Is it showing signs of PATTERNsnowMALE BALDNESS??? Exactly. SnowPERSON it...

REAL MUSIC VIDEO: 'Where the Hell is Neenah?'
This is an actual music video by the group Cheeseheads with Attitude, or CWA. It’s entitled Where the Hell is Neenah? As in, Neenah, WI. (Unfortunately, I had to include the video(s) after the jump. Scroll down and click on to Read More. Trust me, it’s worth it.) To borrow a phrase from the always hilarious Dave Barry, I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. I’ve got here what it says about...

Wausau county seventh graders dissect actual deer
EVANSVILLE — Young hunters who attend McKenna Middle School — and other seventh-graders who might glimpse a deer standing in a field — may never again look at the animals in the same way. That’s because they recently viewed the dissection of a dead deer to culminate a deer/ecology unit in seventh-grade science at the Evansville middle school. Youth learn to butcher dissect deer at Evanstown...

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...a can of...
A 21 year-old Madison woman and her boyfriend were crossing the street when she was suddenly struck in the head by what they initially believed was a snowball. It turned out to be something much more delicious. PS - Does anybody else find it hilarious in this picture above that it says Milwaukee’s “Best” and the best is in quotation marks? As though it’s all an elaborate...

It seems as though this Christmas, 22-year veteran of the Milwaukee Police Department Lt. Keith Eccher’s name will more than likely be appearing on Santa’s naughty list. According to the criminal complaint: Shortly before midnight on May 3, Sgt. Timothy Leitzke was patrolling near 31st and Lloyd streets and approached a hooded man, who ran. Leitzke chased the suspect through...

MONTAGE!!!! for Go West Happy Cow movie
“The happiest cow in California is from Wisconsin.” Amen, brothers & sisters, AMEN to that! For those of you who have had the pleasure of seeing a California dairy ad in the past few years, you’ll know that there’s a bullshit slogan they try to plug here to assure people on the West Coast that the dairy in California is at par with the dairy from an unnamed Midwestern...

Green Bay apparently cold, polluted
Maybe Ray Rice from the Ravens was right about the town of Green Bay after all. Either that, or this video just makes it look hecka shitty. (Yes, that’s an actual colloquialism from Northern California. Kids who aren’t allowed to say the swear word “hell” and therefore are not allowed to say “hella” this and “hella” that, say “hecka”...

These two weren’t ticketed for DRUGS (that I know of) - they were each cited separately...

DUDE whatever, Ray Rice
“Everything about this place is terrible, to be honest with you,” said Ray Rice about Lambeau Field last night like a whiny little girl. ”To be honest with you, it was just Lambeau Field,” he said. “I didn’t see anything special. They put us in the middle of nowhere and it’s not a real exciting place.” No shit buddy. It’s Green Bay…the...

Ninety-eight percent of Americans say “OH SHIT!” before careening into the ditch on a slippery winter road. The other two percent are from Wisconsin and say, “Hold my beer and watch this.” Thanks to my Midwestern Refugee of an Aunt for this joke - it’s a funny one! But let’s all try to keep in mind that drunk driving is actually not so much of a...

I mean, I knew the job market was bad and all...
But I didn’t realize things had gotten so bad in Milwaukee that this dude here has to walk around in the freezing cold streets in a suit and a sandwich board that says “JOB WANTED.” Yikes. CNN - It’s definitely a sign of the times. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, one man is looking for a job by advertising on a sandwich board. Justin Scholz graduated from UW-Whitewater in May...
