There was a time not so long ago that the Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks were among the laughing stocks of their respective leagues. After appearing in the World Series in 1982, the Brewers went 26 years without a postseason appearance, and then made the playoffs just twice (2008 and 2011) before making it in six of the last seven years. Similarly, the Bucks have made the NBA Playoffs in nine consecutive years after making it nine times total in their previous 25 seasons. As badly as each postseason series loss has been for fans of both Milwaukee’s teams, there…

The ending of the Milwaukee Bucks loss to the Indiana Pacers in overtime of Game Five brought far more storylines than the rest of the game itself. Amidst the chaos of the final minute of play, and the altercations that followed, many glanced over the fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo became the first player in NBA history to post 30 points, 20 rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks, and two steals in playoff game. Of course, his superhuman efforts were for naught as Milwaukee heads home early from the NBA Playoffs due to losing their first round series against the Pacers. And…

The Milwaukee Bucks lost Game Five of the opening round of the NBA Playoffs against the Indiana Pacers 119-118 in one of the most frustrating collapses in Wisconsin sports history. Up seven points with 40 seconds remaining, Milwaukee committed several turnovers and allowed Indiana to score eight unanswered points, including the go-ahead layup with 1.3 seconds remaining. Of course, the epic collapse was also a disappointing metaphor for what had been a tumultuous season for Milwaukee. A year with such promise turned into an ongoing struggle. The Bucks started the year 2-8, a stretch that included a six-game losing streak,…

Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks, for the second year in a row, were sent home early, losing in the first round of the NBA Playoffs to the Indiana Pacers. Despite the fact that Giannis had his fourth career postseason triple-double, the Bucks were unable to hold off the Pacers in the final minute of the game, allowing Tyrese Halliburton to score the go-ahead basket with 1.3 seconds left on a driving layup. Even before the loss, which saw Giannis post 30 points, 20 rebounds, 13 assists, two steals, and two blocks (the first such game in NBA playoffs history),…

The Milwaukee Bucks led for most of the game and had a six-point lead at one point in overtime. Unfortunately, however, sloppy play plagued them late and the Indiana Pacers were able to take advantage. Oshkosh native Tyrese Haliburton drove down the lane for a layup with 1.3 seconds remaining in overtime, giving the Pacers a 119-118 point lead. Since Bucks head coach Doc Rivers had burned both of his timeouts with under a minute remaining in the game, Milwaukee was unable to set anything up and lost a heartbreaking game. Giannis Antetokounmpo had his fourth career postseason triple-double, posting…

For years, Green Bay Packers fans wanted the front office to draft a wide receiver in the first round for their star quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. But, for years, the front office used their first round draft capital on defensive players or offensive linemen. Now, of course, Jordan Love is the starter, and when asked during Super Bowl week which position he thought Green Bay would target in the 2025 NFL Draft, he said, “Knowing the Packers, probably defense.” But he was wrong. On Thursday night, for the first time in 23 years, Green Bay took a wide receiver in the…

After losing four games in a row, the Milwaukee Brewers needed two things. First, they needed their offense to snap out of its funk and put runs on the board early and often. Second, they needed a strong performance from their starting pitcher. They got both in their 7-1 win against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. Now, Milwaukee travels to Chicago to face the White Sox, where a sweep of their southside rivals would result in a .500 road trip despite brutal series against the San Francisco Giants and division foe Cardinals. Every Milwaukee Brewers Position Player Had a…

There is not much of a debate over the argument that Giannis Antetokounmpo is the greatest player in Milwaukee Bucks history. The owner of multiple franchise records, a two-time NBA MVP, and the player most responsible for bringing the city its first championship in 50 years, Giannis has accomplished just about everything there is to accomplish already in his career. And he is only 30 years old. Yet, the Greek Freak keeps finding ways to etch his name into the NBA record books despite his numerous noteworthy accomplishments already. Milwaukee Bucks Star Giannis Antetkounmpo Has Made NBA History Through the…

There is no way around it: former Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers had a disastrous run with the New York Jets during his two seasons with the team. After missing virtually of the 2023 NFL season with a torn Achilles, the four-time NFL MVP saw his 2024 Jets squad limp to a 5-12 record in what was one of the most disappointing seasons in the league. During the 2024 season, Rodgers clashed with Jets ownership and the front office, though they did their best to accommodate him and give their star quarterback everything they wanted. After New York started…

The Green Bay Packers, as many fans are quick to point out, have not taken a wide receiver in the first round of the NFL Draft since they selected Javon Walker in 2002. In the 23 years that have passed since that pick, many fans have grown increasingly frustrated with Green Bay’s front office for not selecting big-name pass catchers instead of lesser known defenders or offensive linemen. In 2020, many Packers fans wanted the team to draft Tee Higgins to pair with Davante Adams. Instead, Green Bay traded up to select Jordan Love as the successor to then-quarterback Aaron…
