Yet another playoff collapse in Green Bay. Nothing new, I think I've become, in the words of Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb. Packers blow a 21-3 halftime lead in Chicago. Per reports this morning, it sounds like LaFleur is still going to get a contract extension. We break it all down and the NFL weekend in general. Bucks notch one of their wins of year on Friday in LA, then stub their toe in Denver against a Nuggets team down 4 start...
PACKERS/BEARS Wild Card Weekend is here! We'll break it all down, plus read some Packer-related emails. Giannis makes his most definitive statement on his future with the Bucks in an interview with The Athletic. Brewers don't come to terms on an arb deal with William Contreras, Badger football is spending a TON of money, and we make picks for Wild Card weekend.

August football in January is no fun. No. Fun. Sir. Packers roll over in Minnesota in Week 18, but at least make it out of the game relatively injury free. Now it's on to Chicago for a rubber match with da Bears Wild Card Weekend. They get the 7pm kickoff on Saturday night. Badgers get their QB1 for next season in the portal over the weekend, Bucks post a few wins on Friday and Sunday night.

Packers and Vikings basically have a preseason game for Week 18. BUT, a busy week with roster moves. Packers take a flier on former All-Pro corner, Trevon Diggs. Cut by Dallas earlier in the week and claimed by Green Bay two days later. Packers also sign quarterback Desmond Ridder to their practice squad, Jordan Love is out of the concussion protocol but Clayton Tune starts on Sunday. College Football Playoff final four is set, and...
Malik Willis was fantastic but the Packer run defense couldn't stop a nose bleed on Saturday night. Shades of Joe Barry at Lambeau in a 41-24 loss to the Lamar Jackson-less Ravens. Now the Packers are locked into the #7 seed, and the Bears are division champs. Packers in Minnesota for the regular season finale with nothing on the line. Giannis returns from his calf injury and starts a little dust up at the end of a win against the ...
Playoffs?! We're talkin' about playoffs?? Packers are in with the Lions continued collapse in Minnesota on Christmas Day. Now? Can they still win the division (they can). Sounds like Jordan Love is trending towards playing on Saturday night, doesn't sound like the Ravens will have Lamar Jackson. Bucks win in Indy, in Memphis tonight as they try to keep their heads above water with Giannis out a few more weeks.

In a game script reminiscent of the 2014 NFC Title Game, the Packers choke away a game in Chicago. Jordan Love left the game with a concussion, and now the Packers need a BUNCH of help if they want to win the division, and still need to find a way to clinch a playoff spot. Maddening night in Chicago.

Just like two weeks ago at Lambeau, a MASSIVE showdown between the Packers and Bears, this time at Soldier Field. Packers need a win to get back into first place in the NFC North. Injuries are a big storyline, Micah Parson put on season ending IR this week. JJ Watt had some interesting comments this week about wanting to be a Packers in 2021 but never receiving an offer. College Football Playoffs start tonight, and Giannis finally ...
DEVASTATING DAY in Denver. Packers had a 23-14 lead and the ball in the 3rd quarter, then a turnover, then a Christian Watson injury, then a Micah Parson (probably) ACL injury, and a loss. About as bad as it could get. We'll break it down, and now a short week where the division is likely on the line in Chicago this weekend. Bucks get SMOKED by a bad Brooklyn team, not going to help the "Stay Giannis!" campaign. Brewers swing a tra...
Packers/Broncos weekend! One of the marquee matchups in the NFL for Week 15. Packers are the #2 seed in the NFC, Broncos the #1 seed in the AFC and have won 10 games in a row. Badger basketball gets THUMPED at Nebraska, and the Bucks are able to win a game as Giannis rumors keep swirling.

Now back atop the NFC North and a half game behind the Rams for the #1 seed in the NFC. Giannis trade rumors went WILD after we left on Wednesday, those have calmed down a bit, but Giannis is hurt again. 2-4 weeks with a calf strain as the Bucks struggle to remain rel...
PACKERS/BEARS week is here! We'll go over some of the best games in the rivalry's history, and examine a game this weekend that has MAJOR playoff/division/#1 seed implications. Bucks posted one of their worst regular season losses in recent memory in Washington on Monday, and it feels like we're at a real crossroads with this team and Giannis if they can't get it turned around. Badger hoops opens conference play tonight, Badgers/Ma...
Some finishing touches on the Packer win in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day, and our NFL roundup. Bears winning in Philly on Black Friday makes this weekend's Packer/Bear game MASSIVE at Lambeau. Badgers season ends with a thud after some momentum at the end of the season, Bucks get Giannis and Kevin Porter back and need to stack up some December wins.

Victory Friday! Packers sweep the Lions in Detroit on Thanksgiving. Matt LaFleur's playcalling and aggressiveness were A+++. Toyotathon Jordan Love rolls, Micah dominates, Packers get to 8-3-1.

VICTORY MONDAY! Packers get a little conservative at the end, but the defense dominates JJ McCarthy as the Packers roll to a 23-6 win at Lambeau. Now, a MASSIVE game in Detroit on Thanksgiving. Badgers roll to a 27-10 win over #21 Illinois on Saturday night, feels like some very real momentum is finally building for Luke Fickell. One game left to get the axe on Saturday in Minnesota. Bucks 0-2 without Giannis, need to get one tonig...
Packer/Viking weekend! In my lifetime, I think this has been a more bitterly contested rivalry than Packers/Bears. Packers need a win before a short week and road trip to Detroit. Badgers have a LOT to prove in the final two weeks of the season, starting with Senior Night at Camp Randall on Saturday night against Bielema and Illinois. Bucks lose two games and Giannis this week, Woody is back with the Brewers.

Was it pretty? For sure not. But the Packers got a win they absolutely needed to get, and Jordan Love played one of the best games of his career, even if the box score doesn't show that. Now on to one of the 5 division games remaining on the schedule, the Vikings at Lambeau this weekend. Badgers cover against #2 Indiana, the next two weeks determine my optimism level for Fickell next season. Bucks split the weekend, in Cleveland to...
Packer offense stalls out again on MNF, now a must win in New York against a team with an interim coach and a backup QB starting on Sunday. Plus, an interesting email from a listener about Matt LaFleur, Craig Counsell, and Pat Murphy. Badgers try to build on a top 25 win at #2 Indiana this weekend, Bucks back in NBA Cup action tonight, and Pat Murphy wins his second NL Manager of the Year award.

The Badgers WON A GAME! Against a top 25 team! First one since 2021. I don't think this means Fickell is the guy, but it was nice to enjoy a Badger football Saturday for the first time in a while. Packers tonight against the defending champion Eagles, and the Bucks split the weekend against the Bulls and Rockets, feeling pretty decent overall at 6-4 through 10 games.
