After a rough start to Green Bay Packers training camp, rookie kicker Anders Carlson increased his stock and his standing among fans after a brilliant performance at Family Night. Early struggles, including a one-for-six day last Saturday, had many wondering if the return of Mason Crosby to Green Bay might be imminent. Going into Family Night, both head coach Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst said that the upcoming week would be a huge test for Carlson. Family Night, of course, would be his first time kicking in front of tens of thousands of fans since he was drafted. This upcoming…

The Green Bay Packers are holding their annual Family Night festivities on Saturday night. During this event, tens of thousands of Packers fans flock to Lambeau Field to watch the team hold a training camp practice session. As is the case for all training camp practices, there are several players who are not participating for one reason or another. Of course, Rashan Gary and Eric Stokes, who are still recovering from season-ending injuries in 2022, are not participating as they work their way back to form. Grant DuBose, a 2023 seventh round NFL Draft pick, has yet to participate due…

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is known for many things, primarily his status as one of the best basketball players in the world. Additionally, Giannis is famous for his keen business acumen that has made him extraordinarily wealthy even outside of his salary with the Bucks. Perhaps what endears him to fans the most, though, is his quirky sense of humor. He is known to regale media members with classic dad jokes following games and his social media profiles are filled with hilarious posts. Recently, Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis signed a three-year $186 million extension. That comes out…

The Green Bay Packers made the controversial decision to move on from franchise leading scorer Mason Crosby to sixth round pick Anders Carlson. Fans have questioned the decision ever since Carlson’s selection in the 2023 NFL Draft, and questions have mounted since training camp. The rookie kicker has struggled mightily since camp began. These struggles were highlighted by a one of six performance last week that had many calling for the team to reunite with Crosby. However, comments made by Brian Gutekunst during his press conference yesterday leave a reunion with Crosby highly doubtful, at least for now. A Green…

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has more than his fair share of detractors. The fact that the offense has lost five of the six competition periods during training camp has not helped much. Still, Love has, according to multiple reporters, had one day in which he looked better than ever since being drafted in the 2020 NFL Draft. Still, there are many that are ready to label Love a bust and criticize the Packers for moving on from Aaron Rodgers. The one leading that charge is NFL analyst Adam Schein, who is also a die-hard Chicago Bears fan. Earlier…

Wisconsin Badgers football fans have not been this excited about an upcoming season as they are for the 2023 campaign in quite some time. Of course, this is due to new head coach Luke Fickell, who brings in the possibility for a more modern, fast-pace offense. Fickell’s hiring, of course, was a decision that has gone against the grain of what is typical for the Wisconsin Badgers. This has become the norm for athletic direction Chris McIntosh, who has already replaced three of Wisconsin’s head coaches (football, hockey, and wrestling).

The Green Bay Packers made the controversial decision not to re-sign tight end Marcedes Lewis this offseason. Instead, they are going to roll with 2023 NFL Draft picks Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft, as well as with Josiah Deguara and Tyler Davis. Of these four, Deguara is the most experienced, and he was recently injured in training camp. On Friday morning, news broke that Lewis had signed a one-year deal the Chicago Bears. He joins fellow former Packers tight end Robert Tonyan, who signed with the Bears earlier this offseason. Green Bay Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst Defended His Decision…

The Green Bay Packers need a great many things to go right if they are going to improve from the 8-9 2022 season. Jordan Love and the offense aside, the run defense has to be better than it has been over the last two seasons. Having De’Vondre Campbell healthy for a full season will help, as will a second-year leap from Quay Walker. However, run defense starts in the trenches, and the fact of the matter is the the defensive line just has not been good enough. The good news, however, is that head coach Matt LaFleur is very impressed with…

The Green Bay Packers made the decision to move on from four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers in favor of 2020 first round NFL Draft pick Jordan Love this offseason. The team would not have made this decision if they did not have complete faith in Love’s ability to lead their team. However, there are and will be questions regarding whether or not it was the right decision until the regular season begins and Love proves them right. One Packers insider, Rob Demovsky of ESPN, gave an update on Love’s performance in training camp on Thursday, and it was not what Packers…
