Milwaukee Bucks stars Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Milwaukee Bucks recently traded for seven-time All-Star Damian Lillard. It was a surprise to many in the NBA world as Lillard had made it known, publicly, that the only team he wanted to be traded to was the Miami Heat. So vocal were his feelings on the matter that the NBA had to get involved and tell his agent to back down on the messages to other teams not to attempt a trade.

One of the biggest stories of the NBA offseason was Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo saying that he would not sign an extension with the team if he did not feel like they would match his commitment to winning more NBA Championships. Members of the national media started to predict that Giannis would instead sign with a bigger market team. Even in the wake of the trade that brought Damian Lillard to Milwaukee, some stood firm in their belief that Giannis would not stay with the Bucks. However, Giannis addressed the Milwaukee media today and revealed his plans on when, not…

There may not be a more beloved figure in Wisconsin sports today than Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. Following the Green Bay Packers trade of Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, Giannis became the current longest-tenured athlete playing for a Wisconsin-based team. The 2023-24 season will mark the two-time NBA MVP’s 11th season in Milwaukee. Following the Bucks’ trade for Damian Lillard, there is optimism that there will be many more years to follow.

Milwaukee Bucks, Jrue Holiday

The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics will be the top two teams in the NBA Eastern Conference, if not the entire NBA itself, in 2023-24. Milwaukee acquired Damian Lillard in a three-team trade that sent Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trailblazers and Grayson Allen to the Phoenix Suns. Portland then turned around and shipped Holiday off to Boston for Malcolm Brogdon, Robert Williams III, and two first round picks. The days following the Lillard trade to Milwaukee were comically hard on the national media. For months they have been trying to create and spin the narrative that Giannis Antetokounmpo would…

Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard shines for the New York Jets in their loss to the Kansas City Chiefs

There are more than a few former Green Bay Packers players that decided to follow Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets. Of course, Rodgers’ 2023 NFL season ended after just four snaps when he tore his Achilles tendon against the Buffalo Bills in Week One. The rest of the former Packers, along with the other Jets players, are trying to make the best out of a bad situation without the four-time NFL MVP. They almost did so on Sunday night. While New York ended up losing to the Kansas City Chiefs 23-20, their late run to tie the game…

Green Bay Packers are no longer in the running for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor

The Green Bay Packers have, through four weeks of the 2023 NFL season, one of the worst rushing offenses in the league. Of course, a great deal of their poor production is due to Aaron Jones injuring his hamstring early in the fourth quarter of the Packers’ Week One win over the Chicago Bears. With Jones out, AJ Dillon has been unable to put up numbers on the ground. To be fair, the Packers’ offensive line also is not very adept at run blocking. Still, the lack of production at the running back position were glaring weaknesses in both of…

Green Bay Packers fans troll the Chicago Bears after they blow a 21-point lead against the Denver Broncos

Green Bay Packers fans were frustrated after their team’s Thursday night loss to the Detroit Lions. And rightly so. The Packers were outplayed in every facet of the game and lost in embarrassing fashion at home to a division rival. That all being said, at least the Packers’ future looks bright. To be fair, Green Bay was playing without their All-Pro left tackle (David Bakhtiari), Pro Bowl left guard (Elgton Jenkins), All-Pro linebacker (De’Vondre Campbell), and Pro Bowl cornerback (Jaire Alexander). Additionally, their starting running back (Aaron Jones) and wide receiver one (Christian Watson) were playing on snap counts. In…
