Some believe that with each passing day, it becomes more and more likely that Athletic Director, Barry Alvarez will assume the duty in 2013, but have a coach-in-waiting take over in 2014.

Well if this isn't one of the goofier things I've seen in an NBA game. Normally, officials blow the whistle when they see something that warrants a stoppage of play. I've never seen an official play defense.

You remember the scene from Ferris Bueller's Day off, right? A pair of parking lot attendants swipe the classic Ferrari belonging to Cameron's uptight father and joyride through the streets of Chicago.

Old habits are hard to break. Former University of Wisconsin Head Coach Bret Bielema found that out on Thursday. As Bielema, the new Head Coach for the University of Arkansas football team, was ending a radio interview with Bruce Murray on Mad Dog Radio, he nearly expressed the phrase, "On Wisconsin".

You may recall the scene from the movie Wedding Crashers where Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughan are on a quail hunt. When Wilson pulls the trigger on his rifle, a load of shrapnel strikes Vaughan in the butt and hilarity ensues. That scene came to mind when I read about a similar incident between Brewers Hall of Famer Robin Yount and friend Dale Sveum.

The Detroit Lions have quickly become one of the most hated teams in the league. Disdain for the Lions has everything to do with how they go about their business on the field.

The Green Bay Packers improved to 8-4 on the season after a 23-14 win over the Minnesota Vikings Sunday at Lambeau Field. The win, combined with a Bears loss, allowed the Packers to move into a first place tie with Chicago atop the NFC North. By virtue of their week 2 win over Chicago, the Packers own the first tie-breaker at the moment.

The Green Bay Packers (7-4) will host the Minnesota Vikings (6-5) in a key NFC north division battle Sunday at Lambeau Field. If the Vikings win, they will pull even with the Packers in the division, but will have a leg up on the tiebreaker situation as it pertains to the playoffs. Below are a few things I'll be watching for:

Texas high school student Christian Chavez was sent home from school the other day for showing support of his favorite college football player. Some ridiculously talented barber shaved the image of Texas A&M QB and Heisman hopeful Johnny Manziel shaved into his head. Much to his surprise, Chavez was sent home for his display of support.

It's not often that a healthy, pro-bowl caliber player hits the waiver wire in week 12 of an NFL season. An exception to the rule was made Tuesday when the Philadelphia Eagles released defensive end Jason Babin. Head Coach Andy Reid said he wanted to get a look at younger players. My sense is that is all coach-speak, and Babin was likely growing frustrated with how awful the Eagles have been this year, and it was affecting his play and attitude.

I often wonder how guys like Wayne Larrivee do their jobs without messing up more often. Consider a guy like Wayne - one of the best in the business - might be called upon to do a BIG Ten football, Packers game, and Monday Night Football game in a three day span. Forget about the travel, study-time and production meetings...just keeping an accurate day planner would be a difficult task.

The Wall Street Journal recently published an interesting article focusing on quarterback communication in the NFL. More specifically, the barrage of gibberish signals called at the line to distract the opposing team's defense. As is the case with any skill, some quarterbacks are better at it than others, but the fact remains - from Aaron Rodgers to Blaine Gabbert - that quarterback communication has evolved over time.
