The center position for the Green Bay Packers isn’t an area of weakness anymore. (Via Zach Krause) of the Packers’ wire, center Josh Myers is the number six overall center by Pro Football Focus (PFF) over the last four games. Remember last year, when Packers’ content creators would break down film each week and label players like Royce Newman and Josh Myers as weaknesses along the offensive line? That is no longer the case, as Newman serves as a backup and hasn’t seen much action this year, and Myers is starting to look like the guy Green Bay drafted in…

The future of the Milwaukee Brewers is expected to sign a record-breaking contract extension on Thursday. The team and Jackson Chourio are expected to complete an eight-year $80 million deal (Chourio’s deal is the richest contract by a player who has not reached the Majors in MLB History.) This type of deal is rare for the Brewers, as they don’t dole massive contract extensions unless it’s for a player they are high on. This also speaks to the commitment Milwaukee has to the future of their team. Outside of Chourio, Milwaukee has Joey Wiemer, Garrett Mitchell, Brice Turang, and Sal…

Has Wisconsin Badgers RB Braelon Allen played his final game for the team? Gutting through a lower-leg injury, Allen rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries in Wisconsin’s 28-14 victory over Minnesota to reclaim the Paul Bunyan’s Axe for the first time since 2020. Should Wisconsin Badgers RB Braelon Allen sit out in the team’s bowl game? When Phil Longo took over as Wisconsin’s offensive coordinator, his air raid scheme was designed so Allen wouldn’t have to carry the bulk of the offense. Injuries to Chez Mellusi and Tanner Mordecai scrapped those plans, as the team had…

Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers have dealt with their share of growing pains this season. The team is coming off a win on Sunday against the LA Chargers, in which Jordan Love threw for his first 300-plus yard passing game of his career. Not only that, but what made Sunday’s comeback victory special is that Love for contributions from everyone on the offense, namely Green Bay’s fifth-round draft pick Dontayvion Wicks. On Sunday, Wicks had three catches for 91 yards. All three catches were 25-plus yards or more. (Elias Sports Bureau, Wicks is the first Packers rookie to…

Is there a scenario in which the Milwaukee Bucks acquire veteran G Alex Caruso from the Chicago Bulls? Chicago is reportedly on the precipice of jumpstarting their rebuild, which means high-priced players (DeMar DeRozan, Zach Lavine, Nikola Vucevic, and Alex Caruso could be on the trade block.) Milwaukee could use another Swiss army knife player, as Jae Crowder will be out for eight weeks due to a left abdominal and left adductor tear. Why the Milwaukee Bucks should trade for Alex Caruso Milwaukee’s defensive issues will persist throughout the season, and they are sorely lacking a guard who can defend…

The first year in the Luke Fickell era has been a massive disappointment for the Wisconsin Badgers, not only for Fickell but for OC Phil Longo, who has coordinated high-octane offenses previously at Ole Miss and North Carolina. But Longo hasn’t enjoyed as much success in his first year running the offense. Wisconsin is only averaging 22.2 points per game, which is in the bottom half of the country. Last season, Wisconsin averaged 25.3 points per game. So what’s been the reason for Wisconsin being anemic offensively? Why Phil Longo hasn’t had as much success for the Wisconsin Badgers this…

Wisconsin Badgers K Nathanial Vakos has had a season to remember. This season, Vakos is 12-14 (85.7 percent) on field goals and a perfect 22 out of 22 on extra points. On Thursday, Vakos was named a semi-finalist for the Lou Groza Award, an honor for the nation’s best placekicker. Vakos is the first Wisconsin kicker to be named as a semi-finalist to the Lou Groza Award watchlist since Taylor Mehlhaff received the honor twice in the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Since Rafael Gaglianone graduated in 2018, the program has had a difficult time finding a kicker to fill his…

Green Bay Packers DC Joe Barry has been the source of fans’ frustrations throughout his tenure as defensive coordinator. Barry was hired in 2021, and while he hasn’t taken the defense to new heights, he’s shown he’s willing to adapt his defenses based on the personnel. But would it be smart for the Packers to extend Joe Barry through the next few seasons? Wendall Ferreira of A To Z Sports says don’t be surprised if Barry is the DC for the team beyond 2023. Should the Green Bay Packers extend Joe Barry after this season? Ferreira said that based on…

The lineage of former stars returning to the Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team continues. So far, the team has employed Joe Krabbenhoft, Alando Tucker, and Sharif Chambliss. Now add Kirk Penney to that list. Penney played for the Badgers from 1999-2003, including helping his team reach the Final Four in 2000 under legendary head coach Dick Bennett. After Bo Ryan took over, Penney was the team’s leading scorer for the next two seasons, and playing alongside future NBA star Devin Harris, Wisconsin had a lot of success in those years. After his career at Wisconsin, Penney played the bulk of…

For three-plus years, the Milwaukee Bucks calling card has been defense. The team’s trade for Jrue Holiday in 2020 checked a multitude of boxes. Milwaukee finally had a point guard who could defend at an elite level and shut down the opposing team’s best wing player. That all changed on Sept 27, 2023, when the Milwaukee Bucks swung the biggest trade of the decade, trading for Blazers G Damian Lillard for Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen, and a couple of draft picks. While the trade for Lillard was massive for the franchise, there was immediately a net negative to trading for…
