MIlwaukee Bucks

Remember New York Giants backup quarterback Tommy DeVito’s agent, who, like his client, went viral several weeks back? Well, he was back in the limelight Monday night — sort of. Many Milwaukee Bucks and sports fans recognized Sean Stellato who showed up to watch the game between the Bucks and the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena together with Detroit Lions defensive back Ifeatu Melifonwu, who is another one of his clients.

Green Bay Packers, Jaire Alexander

The 2023 NFL season was a topsy-turvy one for Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander. Among his lowlights in that campaign was when he got suspended for a game due to conduct detrimental to the team. That was a huge decision on the part of the Packers because they needed all hands on deck in a must-win matchup in Week 17 versus the Minnesota Vikings. Green Bay Packers HC Matt LaFleur Gets Honest About His Observation of Jaire Alexander After Controversial Suspension Alexander could have also used that suspension to further fuel whatever resentment he was already feeling toward…

Green Bay Packers, Christian Watson

Green Bay Packers wider receiver Christian Watson is determined to find a real solution to his problematic hamstring. It starts with finding out just what exactly is causing it, which is a top priority for Watson now that the Packers are already in offseason mode. Via Rob Demovsky of ESPN: “I gotta find out what the root of it is,” Watson said. “That’s the start and then I’ll be able to formulate a plan around that. But if I can find out what kind of things can possibly be leading to it, make sure I’m doing the right things in…

Green Bay Packers

All things considered, the Green Bay Packers had an admirable 2023 NFL season. Not many believed that the Packers would reach the playoffs, let alone play past the divisional round of the playoffs in their first season after parting ways with Aaron Rodgers. But they made that happen despite the ups and downs of a wild season that also saw the team handing star cornerback Jaire Alexander a one-game suspension for detrimental conduct late in the regular season. Matt LaFleur Reveals Green Bay Packers CB Jaire Alexander Had 2 Choices It was a lesson learned for Alexander, who made…

Green Bay Packers, Matt LaFleur, Joe Barry

An early playoff exit means that the Green Bay Packers can now focus on checking the items on their offseason to-do list. It’s uncertain if looking for a new defensive coordinator is a part of that list, but Joe Barry can’t feel too comfortable about his job security, especially with head coach Matt LaFleur sounding non-committal about the future of the assistant coaches with the team (via Matt Schneidman of TheAthletic.com). “I know there’s going to be a lot of long-term, big-picture questions. I’m not there yet, fellas,” LaFleur said in his opening statement. “We’re just starting the process. I…

Green Bay Packers, Aaron Jones

The Green Bay Packers ran into a wall in the form of the San Francisco 49ers last Saturday, but running back Aaron Jones still managed to make his mark. In fact, his performance in that NFC divisional-round matchup was the first of its kind versus the Niners in over two years, according to StatMuse. “First player to rush for 100 yards against the 49ers since Week 8 in 2021.” Green Bay Packers Star Aaron Jones Lit Up The 49ers’ Defense Against The Run Jones was nearly everything for the Green Bay Packers’ ground attack against the 49ers.

On paper, everything seems rosy for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. They are currently second in the Eastern Conference standings with a 29-13 record and have won four of their last five games after taking down the lowly Detroit Pistons on the road last Saturday. However, even the Bucks have issues, particularly on the defensive side of the floor, as pointed out by Elder Marques Johnson. “Milwaukee has the third-least efficient defense in January allowing over 120 points per 100 possessions. Only their Monday opponent (Pistons) and the Warriors have been worse in January.” Milwaukee Bucks’ Defense Needs Work…

Green Bay Packers, Jordan Love, Aaron Rodgers

Jordan Love’s impressive 2023 NFL season as a regular starter for the Green Bay Packers has fans believing again in the franchise. The departure of Aaron Rodgers from Green Bay left many of the team’s supporters wondering how long would it take for the Packers to be good again. Apparently, they did not have to wait for long, as the Packers immediately went to the NFL playoffs in Year 1 of the post-Rodgers era, thanks in large part to Love. Jordan Love Made Green Bay Packers’ Transition From Aaron Rodgers Easier But is Love great enough to warrant visions…

Green Bay Packers rookie kicker Anders Carlson will never forget about that crucial missed field goal he had in their 24-21 loss to the San Francisco 49ers last Saturday. He also knows just who exactly was to blame for that blunder, and it’s no other than himself. Anders Carlson Blames Himself For Agonizing Missed FG in Green Bay Packers Loss Via Matt Schneidman of The Athletic: “I knew the wind was right to left and my goal was to play a little right-middle and just the contact off my foot started a little too much left,” Carlson said. “By…
