@greenbaypackers.bsky.social please fire LaFleur. We are all sick of this crap week in and week out, season after season. He can’t win big games and he struggles to win easy games. Please fire him and put someone else in. And MAYBE this team can do something other than waste our time each week.

Imagine dominating your opponents the first two weeks of the season…then looking at that and going, “That didn’t work, let’s play to not lose every week.”
I usually don’t do this, but I think Matt LaFleuer should’ve fired. The @greenbaypackers.bsky.social are truly embarrassing right now.

You know what…bring on robo-umps. This Brewers v Cubs game is a joke. A very unfunny joke. Like a 12 year old telling The Aristocrats. Like a 5 year old telling you a knock knock joke they just made up.

Shame on me for believing in the Packers. I knew better, and I fell for it anyway. Two games to lure us in, and now a season of mediocrity and disappointment. Terrible coaching. Terrible QB play. They’re bad. And they should feel bad.

On this day in 1935, Mamie “Peanut” Johnson was born in Ridgeway, SC. The first woman to pitch in the Negro Leagues, she learned her curveball from Satchel Paige. Here’s a color study of her with the Indianapolis Clowns in 1954. Man, I wish there were more images of Mamie out there.

Being a @milwaukeebrewers.bsky.social fan is pointless. A pointless excercise in futility. Can’t wait for that first round playoff exit…again…
And for the 56th consecutive season, going home empty handed.
I hate this organization. HATE. And I’ve loved them my whole life. But today, pure hatred.

I love when my team is the best in baseball, won 11 in a row, but the MLB Network spends 15 minutes at the top telling me which Blue Jays players connect to Canadian cuisine. Baseball media is just troublesome for me…sorry to all of my friends who are apart of it, but Bo Bichette is not sushi pizza

My tribute to Dave Parker, an icon who had as much charisma and swagger as any player of his era, and who late in life while battling Parkinson’s frankly addressed the mistakes he made during his career. Sadly, he passed away less than a month before his induction into the Hall of Fame

Less than one month before he was to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, the slugger passed away.
