Once again, the Green Bay Packers put together one of the worst special teams performances in the league last year. Are you surprised? Probably not. The special teams unit under former coordinator Shawn Mennenga finished 29th in the league in the 2020-2021 season in Gosselin’s rankings, and 26th the year prior, earning Mennenga’s dismissal. He was replaced by bright young assistant Maurice Drayton, long-rumored to be head coach LaFleur’s favorite for the position last time around before the higher powers pushed for an outside hire. While the one dependable rock on the unit, kicker Mason Crosby was nearly flawless as…

NFL teams have officially had since March 17 to sign free agents, aligning with the start of a new league year. Some teams have been dishing out money on big names, while others are standing pat. Either way, it’s safe to see that the 2021 season will see a lot of familiar faces in new places. Fantasy football owners know that this period is crucial as this means new opportunities for productive players to shine with new teams. With the chaos slowing down, it’s time to take a look at some of the biggest winners of this free agency in…

In a breaking news report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Jeff Teague is planning to sign with the Bucks. Teague is going to be reunited with Coach Mike Budenholzer in Milwaukee. Teague will fit in well as the backup point guard for Milwaukee, and he also brings a veteran presence to a locker room filled with young players and rookies. Let’s take a quick look at what Jeff Teague brings to this Milwaukee Bucks team. Reliable Shooting While Teague’s stats certainly aren’t huge numbers, he brings in exactly what the Bucks need off the bench. In the 2020-2021 season in Boston,…

On a warm day in July, Wisconsin native JP Feyereisen received some bad news. David Stearns and Craig Counsell told him he was going to have to make his Major League debut in front of an empty stadium. He was going to the show. It was the kind of bad news he could live with. Since then, the 28 year old RHP from River Falls has been a serious contender for a place in the Brewers bullpen. And that is no mean feat. The crew’s pen is probably its most reliable asset – one of the best in the National…

As mentioned by new special teams coach Maurice Drayton, no one on the special teams is safe from being replaced. And for good reason as the Packers were bottom five in every punting metric. Bring in new people was always on the cards for Drayton as I mention in an article a few weeks ago. Joe Fortunato will either push Bradley to improve or end up replacing the current long snapper. Joe Fortunato The long snapper was signed on Wednesday, March 24th, to create a competition for Hunter Bradley. Both Bradley and his Punter JK Scott were wildly inconsistent during…

The Bucks welcomed the Celtics to Milwaukee in their first matchup of a two-game series. Giannis returned to the starting lineup after sitting out on Monday night with a knee injury. Having Giannis back in the lineup was huge, but Khris Middleton was the big story of the night. The game was extremely close leading to the final minutes of the game, but the Bucks were able to escape with the win. What were the keys to victory and what are some takeaways from this game? Let’s take a look at three takeaways in our Bucks vs. Celtics recap! Khris…

The Case for Micah Potter The NCAA took time away from Potter back in 2019, when they denied his appeal to be declared immediately eligible. Now, he has the chance to make up for lost time and then some.  With Reuvers gone, Potter’s minutes and numbers would improve substantially. The offense would run through Potter and he would have a great shot at making an All-Big Ten team. The scoring duo of sophomore Johnny Davis and Micah Potter would be nasty. It’s not hard to imagine a solid Wisconsin team where Potter and Davis are both averaging around 18 points…

In a battle of two heavyweights in the Eastern Conference, the Bucks traveled to Philadelphia to take on the 76ers. With potential MVP Joel Embiid out with injury, the Sixers were slightly short-handed. Abysmal shooting performances by both teams will be the story of the night, but the Bucks were slightly better from the field. Milwaukee overcame a poor first half to battle back in the second half and overtime. What was the good, the bad, and the ugly from this matchup? Let’s take a look at our Bucks vs. 76ers recap! The Good: Impressive Performance from Giannis After a…

Eight days away from the trade deadline, the Bucks strike early. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Wednesday evening that Milwaukee will acquire PJ Tucker, Rodions Kurucs, and Milwaukee’s 2022 1st round pick. The Bucks will send DJ Wilson and DJ Augustin to Houston in the move. Additionally, Torrey Craig will be dealt to Phoenix, with details to be announced shortly. https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1372324098769104900?s=20 What This Means: This is a headline for a reason. The Bucks were rumored to be one of the several teams interested in Tucker’s service, so it makes sense that this got done. Adding Tucker, as well as Kurucs,…

The New England Patriots continued their busy opening day of the NFL free agency period by signing tight end Jonnu Smith to a 4-year, $50 million contract. The lucrative deal includes $31.25 in guaranteed money, the most guaranteed money for a tight end in the NFL. With an average annual value of $12.5 million per year, the deal makes Smith the third-highest-paid tight end in the league overall. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1371506292393701376 The deal makes a ton of sense for the Patriots as their offense performed very poorly in 2020. New England’s tight end production has also seen a massive decline since Rob…
