	Yankees' success is proof Brewers are a lost cause
	When the Yankees and their bloated payroll won the World Series last week, it was a signal to OnMilwaukee.com sports columnist Dave Begel that rooting for the Brewers is another in a long line of lost causes.

	Semi-Twang turns back the clock at Shank
	When the talk turns to great Milwaukee bands, most people would agree that the Violent Femmes are the biggest thing ever to come out of this city. But close on their heels are the BoDeans, who are still together, and Semi-Twang, a band that had a big recording contract, incredible critical acclaim and a life that was far too short.

	Packers point: In victory, Favre proves he's the one
	If there is anybody left who thinks that the 2009 Packers, or the 2008 Packers, or maybe even the 2010 Packers are better with Aaron Rodgers than Brett Favre, let them stand up and be counted, on the fingers of one hand. There is no longer a shadow of doubt. One is a classy, savvy expert with a full house, aces over jacks. The other is sitting at the table with a pair of sixes and not much bluff.

	Vikings showdown puts McCarthy in the spotlight
	The focus will be on the quarterbacks Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field, and that's understandable. In addition to a referendum on Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, the Packers-Vikings game will provide information about Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy. A victory will silence his critics. A loss or lackluster effort may fuel the debate about his acumen.

	10 more reasons to be excited about the Bucks/NBA
	Based on the sparse turnout at the Bucks' exhibition finale Friday night at the Bradley Center (pictured), a lot of folks seemed to have forgotten what makes the NBA special. OnMilwaukee.com sports columnist Dave Begel hasn't forgotten. In fact, he lists the reasons why -- in his opinion -- pro basketball outpaces its competition to be the most exciting game in town.

	A question of loyalty: What do fans owe franchises?
	It's easy to be a fan during the good times. Bandwagons bustle when teams win. What about the lean years? Our teams ask us for support and in exchange they owe us expertise and effort and an honest striving for victory. Most fans can live with losing, as long as they feel that the effort is genuine. Is rooting for the home team part of our civic duty?

	Don't throw in the towel on city's 26th sports ranking
	Last week, The Sporting News released its rankings of 399 great sports cities. Milwaukee was a respectable 26th, but OnMilwaukee.com sports columnist Dave Begel thinks that the magazine's logic was flawed -- particularly because Milwaukee didn't get credit for the Packers or Badgers. With a little vetting (and a lot of venting), Begel found a way to move the city up in the rankings.

	Which quarterback is No. 1? Favre leaves little doubt
	Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre is going to turn 40 next week, and there can be no doubt that he is still, at his advanced age, one of the top quarterbacks in the National Football League. Sure, his Vikings are better than Aaron Rodgers' Packers. But part of that, a big part, is that Favre is better than Rodgers. It's not even close.

	Just how big is this little game on Monday night?
	Like many Wisconsin sports fans, OnMilwaukee.com's Dave Begel is conflicted as he prepares to watch Brett Favre play against the Packers.
