Hello all, hoping you had a terrific bye week.
Again, I want to open with a little foreword to commiserate with the Badgers. I was sad to see them let their season slip away indefinitely with another loss, this time to Ohio State. Unlike the Michigan State game I didn’t get to see this one, the loss though is a terrible one all the same. It’s too bad that Russell Wilson gave up what slim hope he had at the Heisman (even if I do think all of that talk was a little premature). And it’s sad too that a shot at the National Championship, no matter how far-fetched that might have seemed in the company of LSU and Alabama, seems like nothing more than the pipe-dream most cynical fans already believed it to be. I find it a real shame, there seemed to so much potential. I read that somebody commented on Facebook that they’d be lucky to play in the Salad Bowl now, which, despite the fact that I’m sure that’s a really old joke, had me cracking up every time I thought of it.

Before I start today, I have to say that I was shattered to see the Badgers go down to Michigan State last night. I saw the entire game live and couldn’t believe it. I don’t focus a lot of attention on the Badgers so I won’t pretend that I do, I back the Dairy State though so whether or not I know the name of every single player, I still want nothing but the best for our teams.

Now, onto the Packers.
Another late Sunday afternoon game, another 300 yards and 3 touchdowns for Aaron and another loss for the Vikings. Things don’t get much better than this.

After last week against Atlanta I don’t know of a single person who even considered giving St Louis a chance this week against our all conquering Green Bay Packers. I know that sounds just a tad facetious but heck, we all know it’s true, right? This must be what it felt like to have been a Patriots fan only a few years ago.
Having said that, it wasn’t the prettiest of games though was it? And judging by my experience on the social network side of things, most people I know, or, don’t know, as my friends and followers list would have it, agreed; the second half in particular. In fact, I may even be so bold as to say that this was quite possibly the most boring half of football I have ever witnessed in my life..... (Credit: AP Photo/Jeffrey Phelps)

So it’s taken me a little while to get into the swing of things this year. That’s not to say that I haven’t been following every move the Packers have made, I’ve just struggled to find the time to write about it, that’s all. You know what it’s like. At some points you seem to have all of the time in the world. At others, you’re walking in the door at 930pm and eating alone ‘cause everybody else in the house is already asleep.

2011 Wk 4… 4 and 0!
Wednesday, October 05, 2011
So what do you know, you find yourself watching opening day one weekend and a few minutes later, at least it seems, your favorite team is 4 and 0! Where did the 3 weeks in between go? As I’ve said so often before I tend to find myself guilty of letting everything else in life take priority over this blog. Unless of course when I’m actually travelling. In those cases though, I have loads of exciting things to report on.
So far as the last few months go I guess I could tell you all about the things that us crazy Scullino’s get up to but, for the most part, we’re too busy living it for me to write about it. And by the time our two little terrors do hit the hay my lovely wife and I are usually so beat that we end up sharing our evening with the idiot box. Unless of course Kelly has taken an early night. In that case I tend to find myself watching recorded ESPN shows like SportsCentre, SportNation, PTI and Around the Horn.
