Brewers Interest Outside of Baseball

[pebadger]

Thought this was kind of cool. Excerpt from Mike McCarthy's post-game press conference yesterday:

(Have you ever been part of an offense that has been this good for four games?)

Hell, I don’t know. We had a good day today, number one. But we got to get better. I’m not really in the mood to reminisce. It’s been a great weekend for Wisconsin sports. We’re happy that we held up our end of the deal. Hopefully the Brewers can finish this thing off. It’s still tied when I came in here.

9-4

Who’s winning?

Brewers.

There you go. See. We’re having a good weekend here in Wisconsin. We’re glad to do our part.

If Aaron Rodgers does a Beast Mode after scoring a TD, I think my head will explode! A championship belt from Prince or Braun would be cool too. I love how the teams are rallying around each other...it's like Pittsburgh in the late 70's.

T-Plush making the belt gesture would probably cause all of Classy Nation to have a collective coronary, which is more than enough justification.

[Cracked Bat Collector]

I would laugh my butt off if Rodgers did beast mode. Crew has beast mode, Packers have the belt. Now the Bucks need to become good (if the NBA ever comes back) and have Jennings come up with something.

[And That]

A championship belt from Prince or Braun would be cool too.

Didn't Braun have a boxing-style title belt after they won the division?

[wOOgiE22]

Yeah he did, here is the picture... LINK

I think Braun had that belt made up in spring training and kept it at his locker during the season.

[danzig6767]

Maybe Casey, but i'm sure it had something to do with Braun and Rodgers being friends.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

That belt was awesome in the post-game celebration...I just thought it would be cool to see Braun cross home plate after a big homer, look at the crowd and do a belt move.

[RightFieldCoder]

I would puke if the Brewers did that. I can't stand the sausage that does that. Why not do the World Series Shuffle if we're going to mimic nearby sports teams?

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

I think it's cool that the local teams are supporting each other. Rodgers wearing a Brewers hat and some of the Packers taking BP, showing up at Bucks games...I'd love to see Braun on the sidelines at Lambeau too.

 

It's not like they'd be imitating some random superstar from some other city...it's about all the athletes from Wisconsin sports teams cheering each other on. I think it's cool and it makes me like them all the more. These guys are all awesome players and they've embraced the state...not much more to ask than that.

That's it to me. And that's such a big thing! We went for a long time with no one wanting to play football at Wisconsin, no one ever wanting to come to Green Bay, and Milwaukee being a laughingstock not all that long ago. The times have changed, and for us as long-time and long-suffering fans are being rewarded. I cried when the Packers won the Super Bowl, I had my chest puffed with pride watching the Badgers play in the Rose Bowl and that pride exudes from me in being a long-time Brewer fan. Even in Texas, I am proudly and happily wearing my Packers, Brewers and Badgers gear!

Like a jumpshot? Ouch. Sorry had to do it.

[FoxyFoxes]

Yeah I was thinking a Brewer World Series and Badger Rose Bowl would make for the perfect Wisconsin Sport Year....... assuming the Bucks don't have a season http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

back on topic though....i don't see Shaun Marcum getting in on the title belt. His team isn't doing so hot.

"Badger Rose Bowl"

 

I won't lie, those are low sights for me. Undefeated or bust this season.

[pebadger]

Well, that's the most that they can control, even if they are undefeated. If that's "all" they get it, and then win it, it will still be the best season in Badger history and it would be a shame if people lose sight of that.

[Hofbraunhaus]

On the Aaron Rodgers Show today on ESPN Milwaukee he said that he talks to Braun at least every other day and he has given Braun permission to do the belt after a home run. Rodgers also said he has given serious thought to doing Beast Mode after a TD.

[Nottso]

The excerpt from MM's presser is beautiful. I love this guy. I just wish they'd let him do his weekly TV show in a T-shirt, or maybe a polo, and a ball cap as opposed to the suit and tie deal. He looks uncomfortable to the point of wanting to jump right out of his own skin.

[sdcheezhd]

Clay Matthews was wearing a lot of Brewers stuff on Jim Rome's show today.

[homer]

I think Rodgers did "Beast mode" towards the end of the game tonight. It was right as they were leaving the field before Crosby's final field goal.

[pebadger]

Tuesday is the player off day in the NFL, so guys usually get out and do stuff on Monday night. Wonder if there will be Packer sightings at MP tomorrow night.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Braun said before the game today that Rodgers will be there. Also here's Matthews' latest tweet. #BEASTMODE... Wisconsin I know u feel me!!
