Normally I would think twice about posting to an article like this, but since it comes from CBS News, I figured it was newsworthy.

CBS News posted the top 10 reasons to have sex tonight. They cite stress relief, exercise and cardiovascular health as reasons. MY personal favorite:

2. Sex Boosts Immunity

Good sexual health may mean better physical health. Having sex once or twice a week has been linked with higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A or IgA, which can protect you from getting colds and other infections.

Baby, I feel a cold coming on…

Read the top 10 here.

March.  The days begin to get nice in Wisconsin.  Spring training is in full swing.  St. Patrick’s day pops in to say hi.

Most importantly, the Madness begins!

I am a college basketball addict, and plan to spend the next four days watching basketball.  It’s a mini vacation for me in my otherwise busy life.  There have been some great articles this year about college hoops, and here are links to a couple of them.

SI’s Mad about March

Some guy on Dane101 babbling about the Badgers

Enjoy the madness!

It was usually still dark when the lines started to form. Some were students that partied all night. They brought a beer or two to ease the cold while they waited. Others were professionals, clad in ties and dress shirts, hoping to have a pint before heading to their jobs.

By 5 a.m, the line usually stretched past the heaters the bar positioned outside for early birds. By 5:45 a.m, the line circled the block.

When the doors finally opened at 6 a.m, the party began. Shirts that proclaimed “You can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning” were handed out to the first 100 patrons that entered. Green Guinness flowed, as did Irish music. By 8 a.m, many moved on to the next pub or headed to work.

Such is a typical St. Patrick’s Day in Milwaukee. So why is Madison so lame when it comes to the holiday?

This is quite possibly the best mash-up ever. View it quick before the the RIAA gets their hands on it and takes down this creative genius.

Yesterday was a day to remember the career of the greatest athlete of my time. Personally, I had a glass of wine and watched a DVD of highlights. Today, Brett Favre is still retired, and the team and Packer fans needs to move forward.

The Packers went 13-3 this past season, and have a young and talented team. However, they currently have only one unproven quarterback on the roster.

Aaron Rodgers looked good in limited playing time last season, going 20 for 28, 218 yards and 1touchdown. However, The packers need to acquire two more legitimate quarterbacks to contend before the season starts in case Rodgers fails.

Originally appeared on Dane101:

It appears the reports that surfaced on the Packer’s web site last week were true. FOX Sports is reporting that Brett Favre has retired and will not play in 2008.

Favre is the NFL’s all-time leader in several major categories, including touchdowns, passing yards, consecutive games started, and interceptions. Favre is coming off an MVP-type year where he threw for 4,155 yards and 28 touchdowns.

The reaction in the coffee shop where I am currently writing this seems to be unified – without Favre, why watch the Packers?

While the Packers are a good young team, I have to admit I initially agree.
