It was one of the great codgers of all time who once uttered the words, I can’t get out of my mind as the Super Bowl approaches.

“Nobody goes there anymore because it’s too crowded,” Yogi Berra once deadpanned. And that’s exactly how I feel about the Super Bowl.

It could be that I myself am falling into codgerdom. I’ve been to more than half of the Super Bowls played – roughly XXVIII of them –- and they stopped being fun about the time Joe Montana threw his last touchdown pass to Jerry Rice.

This is not an editorial on the game mind you. In fact, I think this year’s matchup between the Chiefs and the Eagles is absolutely compelling.

I plan to be right there on the sofa with family and a couple of friends, sipping a Margarita and pontificating on the nuances of a zone blocking scheme while my wife dabs the guacamole dip out of the corners of my mouth.

NEENAH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — With one of the largest lake sturgeon populations in North America, the Winnebago System brings in people from all over the state.

Due to all that traffic on the ice, officials are reminding those headed for the lake about what you can do to keep yourself safe.

Dive teams across Northeast Wisconsin are prepping for the big weekend ahead.

Neenah-Menasha fire rescue held a seminar for area public safety departments Thursday, which was filled with many emotions.

On February 14, 2009, 9-year-old Savannah Kleinhans and her father lost their life in an ice fishing accident.

“It was just so hard and emotional to stand there and know that there were people under the ice and we couldn’t get at them right away,” said Connie Loew, a first responder.

Savannah, her father and her friend Tiffany, were visiting friends who were sturgeon spearing on Lake Winnebago.

“I’ll never forget it,” said Loew.

Football is really a sports activity that is certainly played out around the globe. The overall game is fast-paced and exciting. It is not uncommon to find out football fever take over a group. If you are looking at being familiar with soccer, this article will offer you some terrific guidelines on how to improve your game and rating all those goals.

It is crucial that you understand the appropriate instances to head for that goal. Should your situation will not be perfect for this, don’t try it. Generally try to successfully pass the soccer ball with an wide open person if you locate yourself obstructed. Move them the tennis ball immediately as opposed to looking to go to the goal by yourself.

Amid — or intertwined with, if you will — the swirling questions about the Kings and their goaltending, the team had dropped three straight games in regulation play for the first time this season and had been overtaken by Edmonton for third place in the Pacific Division.

The opener of a six-game trip Saturday in Nashville had Pheonix Copley getting the hook just 39 seconds into his start after two pucks got by him in the Predators’ first three shots. But they also had a spirited second-period rally and the Kings were seemingly in control, taking a 3-2 lead into the third period. And then they lost control, with Nashville getting three unanswered goals to take a 5-3 victory.

Daniel Jones led the New York Giants to their first playoff victory in 11 years as they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 31-24 in Minneapolis to set up a divisional round clash with the Philadelphia Eagles. Saquon Barkley scored his two touchdowns and the Giants defense produced the game-winning stoppage.

The Cardinals are a professional baseball team based in St. Louis, Missouri. The Cardinals compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) Central division. In 2020, the team’s home games were played at Busch Stadium. One of the most recognizable features of the Cardinals is the redbird on their hats. The redbird is a representation of the St. Louis Cardinals mascot, Fredbird. The Cardinals have been known for their great players, including Stan Musial, Bob Gibson, and Albert Pujols. The team has also won 11 World Series titles, more than any other NL team.

The Eagles signed Haason Reddick this offseason to bolster a pass rush that had the second-fewest sacks in the NFL last season.

Through two games, Reddick doesn’t have a sack or a QB hit.

So, naturally, there’s some angst among the fan base. But head coach Nick Sirianni isn’t concerned at all.

In fact, he thinks Reddick is going to have a breakout game soon enough.

“As I watched it later in the week, I’m like, man, it’s close,” Sirianni said. “[Reddick is] close to having a big game.

“That is my experience with defensive ends at times, is that maybe they’re quiet for a couple weeks as far as the amount of hits they get on the quarterback or pressures or the amount of sacks. Then boom, like that, it can change like that. I just keep thinking he’s close to having a breakout game, so that means he is getting some of the pressure that we want on the quarterback.”
