A quote was leaked that was rumored to be from Aaron Rodgers himself, however it was later reported the quote was fake.  The quote was mainly involving Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins , but threw shade at the Lions and Bears.  The Quote:  “Kirk and I are actually good friends. He’s someone I respect a lot. We have similar beliefs and values. Each off-season his family will come…

Terry McLaurin to Green Bay: Terry McLaurin is entering…

The Celtics were 110-292 from three (37.7%) in that specific series for 330 points. The Milwaukee Bucks were 57-204 from three (27.9%) for 171 points. Milwaukee adding a shooting guard this off-season coupled with the return of Middleton would be big for another post-season run. SG Bradley Beal (Washington) Bradley Beal is an un-restricted free agent this off-season and all signs point to him not returning to Washington. Beal is an elite scorer who can hit shots off…
