The Green Bay Packers are going through quite a bit of transition this offseason. 2021-23 defensive coordinator Joe Barry is out, former Boston College head coach Jeff Hafley is in. Darnell Savage will be suiting up for the Jacksonville Jaguars for the next three seasons, but stud safety Xavier McKinney is committed to the Green and Gold for the next four. Josh Jacobs will be the premier back for the Packers after signing a four-year $48 million with them on Thursday. Unfortunately, that also means that the franchise’s third all-time leading rusher, Aaron Jones, is no longer with the team.…

The Green Bay Packers are looking to take the next step towards Super Bowl contention in 2024. After Jordan Love proved that he is a legitimate NFL starter following Green Bay’s trade of Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets last offseason, the Packers returned to the postseason and even upset the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card round. This shocked many national pundits as they were the youngest team in the league last season. As the Packers look towards the 2024 NFL Draft, there are a variety of needs the team needs to address. On defense, especially, the team…
One of the greatest strengths of the Green Bay Packers during the 2023 NFL season was one of their biggest question marks prior to it starting: wide receiver. Of course, there were massive questions surrounding first-year starter Jordan Love taking over for Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. Fortunately for Green Bay, they had both of those questions answered at the same time. Love put together the best season for a first-year starting quarterback in franchise history, throwing to a group of pass catchers made up of first and second year NFL players. Jayden Reed set the franchise record for most receptions…
The Green Bay Packers have a variety of questions that they need to answer regarding their roster for the 2024 NFL season. It does not sound like David Bakhtiari will be back, considering his recent knee injury history along with the fact that Rasheed Walker played well at left tackle last season. In a recent interview at the NFL scouting combine, general manager Brian Gutekunst said that Walker has “certainly proved” that he can be a starting left tackle in the league. On Friday night, a report from Tom Silverstein also brought the Packers’ question at running back to light.…
The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the hottest teams in the NBA. With their 113-97 win over the Chicago Bulls, the Bucks are 5-0 since the NBA All-Star Break. Their five-game winning streak is tied for the second-longest current streak in the league. The Denver Nuggets have also won five in a row while the Boston Celtics have won 10 in a row. The win on the road in Chicago, the second game of a traveling back-to-back, was also the fourth straight game in which the Bucks held their opponent under 100 points. Indeed, the team looks entirely different than…
The Green Bay Packers did not have a great start to the 2023 NFL season. After a stunning showing in Week One over the Chicago Bears, Jordan Love and the offense embarked on a journey of growth and building chemistry that was anything but smooth. They blew a fourth quarter lead in Week Two to the Atlanta Falcons, needed a miraculous 18-point fourth quarter in Week Three against the New Orleans Saints to win by one point, and then embarked on a brutal four-game losing streak. At 2-5, many had written off the Packers, and some were ready to move…
Has there ever been a figure go from hero to zero as quickly as former Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell? Sure, he had his detractors while managing the Brewers, but he always had the “we’re all in this together” thing going for him. While he has gone of his way recently to point out he was not born in Milwaukee, he cannot deny the fact that Wisconsin is where he grew up. After all, throughout his entire tenure in Milwaukee, Counsell and the Brewers banked on his promotions as the hometown son come back to bring his childhood favorite team…
When one thinks of the best defensive players on the Green Bay Packers, one probably thinks of Rashan Gary, Jaire Alexander, or Kenny Clark. And rightly so. Gary is one of the best young pass rushers in the NFL while Alexander and Clark have made multiple Pro Bowls. When on thinks of players that Carry the G and who sacrifice their own money to stay with the Packers, many may point to the most recent example of Aaron Jones. Other notable players who have done so in the past include Packers Hall of Famer Gilbert Brown and Pro Football Hall…
When the Milwaukee Bucks traded for Damian Lillard back in September of 2023, everyone thought that they became an easy favorite to win a NBA Championship. After all, pairing Lillard, a top 75 player in NBA history, with Giannis Antetokounmpo, himself a member of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team, seemed to be a match made in heaven. And for a brief while, it was. Giannis, Lillard, and the rest of the Bucks embraced the challenge of assimilating at a fast pace. There would be challenges, sure, but they would figure it out. In the end, though, it was not that…
The Green Bay Packers have a rich history of stellar quarterback play. Dating all the way back to the early days of the franchise, Hall of Famer Arnie Herber was a pioneer at the position. Tobin Rote and Cecil Isbell also hold particular places of respect in franchise history, leading up to the glory days of Hall of Famer Bart Starr and the Vince Lombardi Packers teams that won five NFL Championships. Of course, more recently, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers have continued the legacy of Hall of Fame quarterback play in Green Bay. Even before them, though, the Packers…
