Week 17 Preview : Packers at Lions

Green Bay ~ The Green Bay Packers, already eliminated from the playoffs, clash with their division rivals, the Detroit Lions. This match-up features two teams that have been eliminated. The Packers,7-8, are fresh off a 16-0 loss to the NFC North Division Champion Minnesota Vikings. The Green Bay offense looked terrible and they couldn’t move the ball against the dominant Viking defense. And when the Packers did get the ball close to the end-zone, it resulted in an interception or a

Eric Thames – Season in Review

Milwaukee, W.I. ~ Last season Eric Thames was the primary first baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers. After a dominant first month in Milwaukee in which he hit a Brewers record 11 homeruns in April, Thames struggled at the plate with discipline and contact but he picked it up in September to almost guide the Brewers to the playoffs for the first time since 2011. Even with Thames struggles in the mid-season, he still hit 31 homers, 62 RBI’s, and a batting

Stearns pulls the trigger on Chacin

Milwaukee, W.I. ~ The Milwaukee Brewers had several offers on pitching, both starting and relief, coming out of the Winter Meetings in Orlando, Florida.

Brewers eyeing Arrieta

Milwaukee, W.I. ~ The Milwaukee Brewers are heating up and are the front-runner for All-Star pitcher Jake Arrieta. Arrieta is a free agent from the Brewers NL Central rival, the Chicago Cubs. Coming off a surprising 86 win season in 2017, the Brewers expectations are a lot higher this season, making the expectations for off-season moves higher too. General manager David Stearns made some great trades last off-season, including the Travis Shaw deal, and if the Brewers want to top last

Wisconsin falls to Ohio State in Big 10 Championship Game

Indianapolis, I.N. ~ The Wisconsin Badgers suffered their first loss of the 2017 season in a heartbreaking fashion – a 27-21 loss to rival Ohio State in the Big 10 Championship Game. For the second straight year the Badgers could have won the Big 10 and made it to the College Football Playoff, but both last year and this year, they’ve squandered their chances. Last season Wisconsin allowed Penn State comeback and beat them 38-31. Wisconsin will miss out on the
