The Milwaukee brewers are off and runing with a 1-0 lead in the NLCS after a thrilling, come-from-behind 9-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday afternoon at Miller Park. The Brewers were keyed by a 6 run 5th inning in which Cardinals starter Jamie Garcia was roughed up for four earned runs.

I was curious to see if Arizona Diamondbacks fans used the last two victories as a B-12 shot to re-energize, or if they went back in to their snake hole once the team had left for Milwaukee.

1. Get off to a fast start. In two losses in Arizona, the Brewers were outscored 7-1 in the first inning. They barely had time to catch their breath in playing catch-up from the get-go. If the Brewers can get on the board first, the crowd will turn Miller Park upside down, and the Diamondbacks will press.

Super Bowl media day. It's the annual cattle call of nearly 3,000 "media" (some with more serious credentials than others) that takes place during Super Bowl week. It's one of the only events where media actually interviews other media. Again, the term "media" is a loose one as there are a host of confusing and questionable characters roaming around looking for their angle.

Just a pair of undefeated teams remain in the NFL, and they both reside in the NFC North. The Packers and Lions could remain undefeated when they meet on Thanksgiving day. I'm guessing the ratings would be solid for such a game.

Late in the 4th quarter, as the Packers (4-0) were imposing their will on the Denver Broncos (1-3), a small portion of the sellout crowd at Lambeau Field starting chanting "Tebow! Tebow!". Perhaps those people blinked and missed his one turn under center. On the Broncos' second possession, Tebow took a shotgun snap on first-and-ten, bobbled the snap, darted left, and was buried for a one yard loss. Back to the drawing board.

A listener brought this to my attention, so I wanted to pass it along to you. A nice article on Brewers owner Mark Attanasio appeared in today's NY Times.

Here we go! We are about to embark on perhaps the most incredible sports weekend the state of Wisconsin has ever seen. I honestly can't remember a weekend in my lifetime where the eyes of a sports nation were so fixed on the sports happenings taking place on Wisconsin soil.

If you're ever in need of some outside-the-box thinking when it comes to your consumption of sports, might I suggest the Wall St. Journal? They have an underrated sports section that often times explores thought provoking avenues.
