Pro Bowl voting has opened! While many have stopped caring about the Pro Bowl it still holds value to players. Hall of Fame discussions are centered around the number of Pro Bowls made and contract incentives are often tied to Pro Bowl appearances.

The Packers are going to need to retool their roster in the offseason. As always, there are questions about what players the Packers need to target in free agency.

The G-League is a great tool for teams to use to build their rosters. It can give young players more playing time and can also be a place for injured stars to get some practice in before returning. The Bucks are taking full advantage of their G-League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd. The Bucks have assigned 3 players to the G-League.

The Wisconsin Badgers have had some tough news on the recruiting front. After a couple of decommits this past week, there is a glimmer of hope in the world of recruiting. 3-star safety Khalil Ali was a past target for Wisconsin but he ended up committing to Boston College. However, he recently stepped away from his original commitment and is back on the market. Wisconsin jumped on the opportunity and the 3-star recruit will be visiting Wisconsin Saturday for the game against Minnesota. 3-Star Recruit Khalil Ali Visiting Wisconsin This Weekend https://twitter.com/kahlilali21/status/1595065453579472897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Eembeddedtimeline%7Ctwterm%5Escreen-name%3Akahlilali21%7Ctwcon%5Es1 Ali was worried that his spurning of the…

The Packers are going to have to make some tough roster decisions in the off-season. The Packers still have talent on their roster but need some major retooling if they are going to compete in the near future. I would expect many players to get cut in the off-season. One player that the Packers have been encouraged to part ways with is former fourth-round pick, Royce Newman. Packers Encouraged To Part Ways With Royce Newman Newman came into the season with the starting job at right guard. It did not take long for him to lose that job. The game…

Adrian Amos Adrian Amos is on top of the list of Packers players with the most to prove. This season has been disappointing for Amos. Before the season I wrote about how he was primed for a…

The Wisconsin Badgers beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday to become bowl eligible. While the victory was great, there is one moment that is going to have some lasting effects. In the third quarter, Nebraska quarterback Casey Thompson was hit while sliding by Wisconsin linebacker Nick Herbig. Herbig was called for targeting and ejected from the game after another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. By rule, this sidelines him for the first half of the finale. The team appealed the decision but to no avail. Wisconsin linebacker Nick Herbig loses his appeal and will be out for the first half of Saturday’s…
