Ever since the Peyton Manning and Papa John’s breakup, there has been a space to fill in pizza partnerships. Former Wisconsin Badger Jonathan Taylor, has taken his own slice of the pizza business. Taylor signed one of the largest pre-draft marketing deals in history. Toppers Pizza hired Jonathan Taylor to be their spokesperson. The deal is a lifetime partnership and will allow him to have a stake in Madison by including the owning of four of the restaurants in the state’s capitol. Taylor shouldn’t have to wait long to enjoy a slice as he is projected to go in the…

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, The 2020 NFL will be happening next week as scheduled. From April 23rd to April 25th, 255 college athletes will hear their name called in a virtual manner. For the purposes of this mock draft, I look at what I feel would be the perfect 2020 draft for the Green Bay Packers. This is my opinion of who I believe will be the best for the team while also available at each draft pick. To help determine who would be available at each pick, I used the mock draft simulator at https://thedraftnetwork.com/ 25 times. All prospect…

Earlier, the NFL released its All-Decade Team, which featured Aaron Rodgers as one of the two quarterbacks on the offensive team. OTH Wisconsin has followed suit, but our focus is just on the Green Bay Packers. In this piece, we will name our Packers All-Decade Team, focusing on the defensive side of the ball. All-Decade Team: Offense Defensive Line B.J. Raji B.J. Raji was the ninth overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. Raji played with the Packers from 2009-2013, and came back in 2015, after taking a year off. From 2010 to the end of his career, he started…

The 2020 NFL Draft is quickly approaching, and the Packers have some positions of need that they need to address. Those positions of need appear to be inside linebacker, defensive end, wide receiver, and tight end. Free Agency Signings Two moves were made by the Pack in free agency with the signings of former Wisconsin Badgers Right Tackle Ricky Wagner as well as longtime Cleveland Browns Linebacker Christian Kirskey. The Kirksey signing partially addresses the void at inside linebacker left by the departure of Blake Martinez, but doesn’t fully fill the needs at that position. Oren Burks is still in…

#34. The “Greek Freak”. The reigning NBA MVP. The long, athletic, relentless finisher that will drive down the lane and jam it over the most daunting of defenders. Giannis Antetokounmpo. Much like in his MVP season of 2018-2019, the Freak has been terrorizing the league during the Bucks’ 2019-2020 1st place run. However, Giannis wasn’t always the chiseled “Greek God” that we see before us today. When Giannis was drafted, not a lot of Bucks fans really knew much about the young Greece-born Nigerian man. At that time as Bucks fans, we were all trained to think that this was…

The storybook season that was the 2019-2020 season has come to a close sooner than many anticipated. Covid-19 essentially shut down the college basketball/sporting world as we know it. What we’re left with is a season that ended with the Wisconsin Badgers as Big Ten champs and a lifetime of wondering what could have been. Entering next season, Greg Gard and his staff will be returning seven of his eight rotation players. Wisconsin will be looking to fill only 27 minutes a game, vacated by RS Senior Brevin Pritzl (graduation). Couple that with a six-man recruiting class that ranked top…

With the Bucks season at a halt, we get to look back at some of the amazing players we’ve had over the years. This week, we look at the top three point guards in Milwaukee Bucks History! 1. Oscar “The Big O” Robertson Is one of the most electric players of his time and As soon as he arrived in Milwaukee,  he led the Bucks to an NBA Championship in 1971. Ozzie was a twelve time All Star, who won winning two as a Buck. He also won the All Star Game MVP three times. Only playing four seasons with…

Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison is heading east! Allison has agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions, sending the receiver to a division rival. Allison spent his first four NFL seasons with the Packers. After going undrafted in the 2016 draft, the Packers brought him in for depth. He played in 10 games his rookie year, finishing with 12 receptions, 202 yards, and two touchdowns. 2018 looked to be a breakout year for the undrafted receiver, but was cut short after five games due to injury. He finished with 20 receptions, 303 yards, and two touchdowns. Allison…

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is back at home after nearly being stuck in Peru. Rodgers told Pat McAfee and AJ Hawk on The Pat McAfee Show that he and three other people were able to fly out of Peru, 15 minutes before the airport shut down. “Have you seen the movie ‘Argo’? The scene at the end where they’re racing to the airport. Nobody was chasing us thankfully or holding us.“We didn’t have to speak Farsi to get back into the country, but there were some moments where we worried we were not going to get out. It…

Needless to say, but 2002 to 2016 did not have a ton of high-point games for the Milwaukee Bucks. However, there were a few moments that will live on in Bucks history for eternity. One of those magical moments that Bucks fans remember fondly was called the “Double Nickel” game. Former Bucks PG Brandon Jennings provided us all with a treat on November 14th, 2009. The Before Jennings spent one season (2008-2009) with the professional club Lottomotica Roma in Italy. He is widely known as the first American basketball player to go straight from high school to European professional basketball…
