Welcome to Saturday Scorecard. May your drinks be cold, your snacks salty and the sofa cushions comfortable. What more could you ask heading into the National Football League's opening weekend?

On to the notes...

Make it interesting: Opening weekend of the NFL season is as good as it gets.... until the playoffs, of course. One way to make it better is to throw down a few proposition bets. The suggestions listed here are for entertainment purposes only. They give you something to keep track of during the long season and can make you feel really smart if you're right. (If you're wrong, who cares?)  The "real" odds you see below are courtesy of bodog.com. Feel free to use the Talkback feature to submit your own. We will begin with the home team.

Larry King Lounge: The Brewers would be crazy to trade Prince Fielder this offseason. There is no way they can get equal value for him.... The Bucks' decision to let Ramon Sessions go to Minnesota wasn't surprising. It would have been shocking if they'd agreed to pay a luxury tax.... Talk of the Swine flu dominated the discussion as Wisconsin prepared to play Fresno State. In addition to staying healthy, the Badgers need to address things like penalties and missed assignments -- the same things that hampered them last year.... The Packers can't allow the Bears to score a defensive or special teams touchdown.... Wave midfielder Marcio Leite worked for nine months to rehab a torn knee ligament, then tore it again while playing for the Croatian Soccer Club in a national outdoor tournament. "Words cannot describe how bad I feel for Marcio, as he worked extremely hard to get back to his original form," Wave coach Keith Tozer said. "I have all expectations that he will still play for the Wave in the future." In happier news, the Wave signed four players: Giuliano Oliviero, JP Rodrigues, Nathan Sabich and Tenzin Rampa. Sabich played in college at Marquette; Rampa played at UW-Milwaukee.
