The Green Bay Packers are preparing for their Week 15 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The 9-4 Packers, who currently hold the sixth seed in the NFC, are looking to improve to 4-0 against the NFC West, having already beaten the Los Angeles Rams, Arizona Cardinals, and San Francisco 49ers this year. Meanwhile, the 8-5 Seahawks are trying to maintain their one-game lead in their division over the surging 7-6 Rams. Needless to say, this upcoming Sunday Night Football matchup is a big game for both teams. With just four weeks remaining in the regular season, both the Packers and…

The Green Bay Packers have turned the page on the Detroit Lions following their 34-31 loss to their division rivals last Thursday night. They have now turned their focus to this upcoming Sunday night game when they will take on the Seattle Seahawks on the road in an effort to improve their standing in the NFL Playoffs picture. It seems, however, that the Lions were a little slow to end the chapter of their season that included their second win of the year over the Packers. As many fans may recall, Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur was involved in…

The Green Bay Packers are preparing to attempt a bounce back from their 34-31 loss to the Detroit Lions last Thursday night. They will start their late season push for seeding in the NFL Playoffs when they travel out west to face the Seattle Seahawks, who are 8-5 and clinging to a one-game lead in the NFC West. The Packers, at 9-4, have virtually no shot at winning the NFC North, but can possibly improve their seeding as they look to stack more wins to close out the season. Since the Seahawks’ division race is so close, this game, and…

The Green Bay Packers recently made an addition to their practice squad, signing former Cleveland Browns pass rusher Jeremiah Martin, who worked out for the team earlier this week. Martin was signed by the Browns last year after going undrafted in the 2023 NFL Draft, but did not make the team. After he was released, he remained a free agent until the New York Giants picked him up on their practice squad in January. New York released him in May and he returned to Cleveland for training camp. Once again, he did not make the team and was released. While…

The Green Bay Packers will never use injuries as an excuse for losing a game. Such was the case in their 34-31 loss to the Detroit Lions last Thursday night. Despite missing several of their key contributors, the Packers put themselves in a position to win the game. Unfortunately, they failed to play a clean game and made costly mistakes, which led to their loss. Green Bay’s loss to Detroit also all-but eliminated them from winning the NFC North this year. Even if the Packers win all of their remaining games, they will need the Lions to lose all four…

The Milwaukee Brewers are hard at work replenishing their 40-man roster after losing several players to free agency, non-tendered contracts, and the waiver wire. Earlier today, it was reported that Milwaukee had selected left-handed pitcher Connor Thomas away from the St. Louis Cardinals in the Rule 5 Draft. He was the Brewers’ first Rule 5 selection since Gus Varland in 2022. Prior to Varland, Milwaukee had not made a Rule 5 selection since 2016. Due to the rules surrounding the Rule 5 Draft, Thomas should be penciled in as making the Opening Day roster and should remain with the Major…

The Milwaukee Brewers have quite a few questions to answer and roles to fill on their pitching staff. Frankie Montas, who was acquired via in-season trade from the Cincinnati Reds, saw Milwaukee decline his $20 million player option. He has since signed with the New York Mets. Additionally, key pitching contributors Colin Rea and Hoby Milner were either waived or non-tendered by the Brewers, making them free agents. As they always do, Milwaukee will find a way to fill their pitching needs with unexpected free agent or trade targets. Or, as was the case today, by making an unexpected selection…

Back in 2001, the Green Bay Packers, led by now Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre, traveled to face the New York Giants in the final week of the season. With three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Favre and the Packers had the ball. On a now controversial play, the Packers legend rolled to his right and slid to the ground in front of an unblocked Michael Strahan. Strahan was credited with a sack, which gave him 22.5 for the season and the NFL record for most sacks in a year. It broke the record of 22.0…

The Milwaukee Brewers are not known for making big-splash moves in free agency. Instead, oftentimes high-profile players leaving the team are the stories that make the biggest headlines. Such was the case over this past weekend when shortstop Willy Adames signed a seven-year $182 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. It is currently the largest contract in Giants franchise history (which dates back to 1883) and is the third-largest MLB contract ever signed by a Dominican-born player (Albert Pujols and Robinson Cano). Sometimes, though, the Brewers’ overlooked signings and roster decisions go on to make tremendous positive impacts on…

It took a long time for the Green Bay Packers to settle on Brandon McManus as their kicker in the post-Mason Crosby Era. As fans recall all too well, Green Bay made the decision to get younger following the 2022 NFL season. Of course, this meant that Aaron Rodgers’ time as the Packers starting quarterback came to an end and he was traded to the New York Jets. While Rodgers was the most high-profile player that left the organization following the 2022 season, there were other noteworthy players that bid adieu to the Packers as well. Marcedes Lewis, Robert Tonyan,…
