The Milwaukee Brewers have protected multiple prospects by placing them on the 40-man roster. The additions come with urgency as MLB teams had to add prospects to their roster due to the Rule 5 Draft policy. Every December the Rule 5 Draft allows clubs without a full 40-man roster to choose other players around the league that are currently not on any other 40-man roster teams. According to jsonline the Brewers capitalized by selecting top catching prospect Mario Feliciano and two right-hand pitchers in Alec Bettinger and Dylan File. 

Feliciano is a right-handed batter that was selected by Milwaukee in the 2016 MLB Draft as the 75th overall pick. The Puerto Rican native pieced 19 home runs and compiled 81 runs batted in with a .273 batting average (BA) all while being named the most valuable player in the Carolina League in 2019. His career on base percentage comes in at .315 while his slugging percentage totaled at .477 which led the league. 

Adding Bettinger and File was a move that showed turn-key performance. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Brewers president of baseball operations David Stearns likes what both pitchers bring to the mound:  “These are two pitchers who are ready to pitch in the big leagues. They both have poise; they both command the baseball. They both can change speeds. To varying degrees, they can change eye level (of hitters). As we look forward to 2021, we think both pitchers have the potential to help us on the major-league level.” Bettinger attended The University of Virginia and earned the Brewers attention his senior with a 2.43 earned run average (ERA) along with a perfect 8-0 record. The right-hander has accumulated over 300 innings of work for Milwaukee's minor league system. As for File, he came out of a NCAA Division II program that propelled him into being a 21st rounder in the 2017 Draft. The 24 year-old racked up over 147 innings of work last season while accumulating a 3.29 ERA. The Brewers believe each prospect will see their time in majors soon.

The Milwaukee Brewers television play-by-play man Brian Anderson added to his historic resume this week.

Anderson’s award is just one of many throughout his career, such as the National Sports Media Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year (three-time winner and is nominated for this year as well).

The Milwaukee Bucks took a pair of shooters with their draft selections Wednesday night. The Bucks initially had the 24th overall pick, but that was given to the New Orleans Pelicans in the deal for Jrue Holiday. 

The aftermath of recent trade and draft acquisitions put the Bucks draft selections into the second-round for picks No. 45 and No. 60. Jordan Nwora out of the University of Louisville was selected as the 45th pick, the 6-foot-7, 22-year-old is a small forward that was on the path to third team All-American honors last season according to USBWA. Nwora is recognized as a strong shooter because of his 40%  three-point success rate. He averaged 18 points and over 7 rebounds in his last season with Louisville. In June of 2018 Nwora played for his father in the FIBA World Cup qualifiers and averaged over 21 points with 8 rebounds.

With the final pick of the draft, the Bucks picked Sam Merrill of Utah State University. Merrill is noted as one of the drafts premier shot makers. The 24-year-old, 6-foot-5 guard earned the 2019 Mountain West Player of the Year award, while he averaged nearly 20 points a game, draining 41% from the three point line and making 89% of his free throw shots. The Bucks rookie draft class will have a short turnaround compared to previous draft class years as the first game is set for December 22nd.

The New York Mets and company have been soul searching for a new front office member. David Stearns, president of baseball operations for the Milwaukee Brewers, was listed as an interview prospect, but the Brewers denied the opportunity. The underlying motive comes with Stearns growing up in New York as a Mets fan and that he began his MLB employment in the Mets organization after graduating from Harvard. Milwaukee took action to decline this occurrence from happening earlier this week, Stearns signed a private multi-year contract extension in 2019 that brought him a promotion from general manager to his current rank.

Back-to-back NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks remains focused on the season with all the activity occurring.

Antetokoumpo looks for the Bucks to win a championship, recently telling journalist Alexander Nilsson "There are a lot of rumors. Everyone has opinions. But at the end of the day, I will do what is best for my family. I do not see why I could not be in Milwaukee for several years. As long as Milwaukee and I are on the same page when it comes to being one of the best teams in the league and winning championships, that's fine.” Antetokounmpo is looking to sign a five-year supermax extension this offseason around $220 million, if the deal does not go through, free agency is an option.

1956 Heisman Trophy Winner of the Notre Dame Irish and Green Bay Packer legend Paul Hornung passed away late last week after a long battle with dementia. Former Green Bay Packer coach Vince Lombardi described him as “the greatest player I ever coached” and will be remembered by the sports world as the “Golden Boy”.

In 1985 Hornung was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and one year later was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. NFL commissioner Roger Godell said in a statement " Paul Hornung thrilled a generation of NFL fans with his versatility, athleticism and personality.” Hornung passed at the age of 84 and is survived by his wife of 41 years, Angela Hornung.

The Green Bay Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari agreed to a record-setting contract extension deal upon hours leading up to the Jacksonville Jaguar game. Bakhtiari signed a four-year contract worth $105.5 million in new money, making NFL history as the highest-paid offensive lineman ever. The base salary of the contract per year is $23 million with earning potential up to $23.5 million, while the signing bonus is $30 million, all payable before the end of the 2020-21 season.

The Jaguars would get the lead back a few minutes when Keelan Cole Jr. took a punt 91 yards to make it 10-7. The Packers would end the half with a pair of scores, one coming on the legs of Aaron Rodgers from five yards out and Mason Crosby's foot to make it 17-10 at the break. Cole would find the endzone a second time in the third quarter, this time catching a 12-yard pass from Jake Luton to tie the game at 17. The Jaguars would take the lead briefly on a field goal to start the fourth quarter, but Rodgers was able to find an injured Davante Adams in the endzone for the game-winning score with just over nine minutes left in the game. Aaron Rodgers finished the game with 325 yards passing, three total touchdowns, and an interception.

The Packers will play again next Sunday on the road against the Indianapolis Colts at 3:25 p.m.

The Green Bay Packers will start the second half of their season this Sunday at Lambeau Field. Green Bay will give a cold welcome to the Jacksonville Jaguars as the weather calls for snow at game time. Green Bay enters this game with a 6-2 win-loss record while Jacksonville has one win on the season.

The two teams have met six times at Lambeau Field over their matchup history in which the Packers have a 4-2 record against the Jaguars. Jacksonville will be starting rookie sixth-round pick, Jake Luton, for the second consecutive week because starter Gardner Minshew is healing a thumb injury. Green Bay will be led by Aaron Rodgers and have Jamaal Williams back in the lineup to complement Aaron Jones. Jones is coming back for his second straight week as he carried the ball 15 times in his return in the win over the San Francisco 49ers. The last time the Packers played a home game they lost to the Minnesota Vikings. Both Allen Lazard and David Bakhtiari have been inactive for weeks but are projected to play for the Week 10 matchup. Defensively for the Packers, Kevin King could make a return while Jaire Alexander is under concussion protocol.  Kickoff will be at noon on FOX.

For the second time in three nights, the Green Bay Gamblers turned adversity into a win, beating the Youngstown Phantoms Saturday night 5-4. 

Kyler Grundy and Ryan Greene were able to tie the game up late in the first period, but the Gamblers would still find themselves down 3-2 entering the intermission thanks to a last-second goal by the Phantoms' Reilly Funk. Jake Schmaltz would tie the game up at three apiece four minutes into the second period and Jackson Kunz would help the Gamblers take the lead with his third goal of the season. The Gamblers would give the lead up with about six minutes left when Cole Burtch scored his third goal of the season for the Phantoms. With just over three minutes left in the game, it was Mason Lohrei who scored his second game-winning goal in as many games to help the Gamblers improve to 3-0 on the season. The Boston Bruins prospect also had an assist earlier in the game.

The Gamblers will play their first of three games against the Chicago Steel next Friday night in Bensenville before finishing the set at Resch Center next Saturday and the following Wednesday. Those two games will air on the NEW Radio Sports Network on 104.1 WRLU when the puck drops at 7:05 p.m.

The Wisconsin Badgers will be playing football for the first time since October 23rd. That night was the first for Big Ten Football in 2020, it included an explosive performance by redshirt freshman Graham Mertz who had 5 passing touchdowns. Mertz is eligible to play according to the Big Ten’s requirement that states a player must sit 21 days after a positive test. Paul Chryst will have the final say on if Mertz will play and if he has had enough practice prior to Saturday. The Badgers have not played for consecutive weeks and have had turbulent practices throughout the time off, so there is an unknown of who is and isn't available for Saturday. The Michigan Wolverines are 1-2 following back-to-back losses against Michigan State and Indiana, sixth-year head coach Jim Harbaugh came into the season ranked No.15 in the Coaches Poll but have not lived up to the preseason ranking. Wisconsin plays in Ann Arbor, Michigan against the Wolverines on Saturday at 6:30 p.m.

The Green Bay Gamblers are looking for deja vu against the Youngstown Phantoms this weekend. Green Bay is coming off a 4-3 victory on Thursday night over the Phantoms and looks to sweep on Saturday night to improve to 3-0 on the season. Youngstown is now 1-1 on the year after the loss to the Gamblers. Phantom forward Cole Burtch heads into the matchup leading the USHL in points with 2 goals and 3 assists, while Green Bay’s leading scorer is Jackson Kunz with 2 goals and 1 assist, placing him 4th in USHL scoring. The puck drops at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday at the Resch Center. NEW Radio Sports Network will broadcast the game on 104.1 WRLU and on NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com.

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix women's basketball team added two players with northeast Wisconsin ties as a part of its 2021 recruiting class. Maddy Schreiber is a 6’0” guard/forward from Kimberly who is a 2020 All-State Team Honorable Mention, while Callie Genke is a 6’0” guard from Freedom that is a two-time All-State team selection.  They will join Bailey Butler (South Wayne, Wi.) and Jenna Guyer (Circle Pines, Minn.), who also signed their National Letter of Intent earlier this week.

The Green Bay Gamblers are looking to improve to 2-0 to start the season. Green Bay opened with a 4-2 win against the Muskegon Lumberjacks at the Resch Center on November 7th. The victory came with a slow start with Muskegon off to the races scoring two goals in the first period but was led back with Jackson Kunz (2 goals) at the helm. Head coach Pat Mikesch told NRSN during his weekly podcast that he was happy with how the team responded after being put in the early hole.

The Youngstown Phantoms are 1-0 as they are coming off a 5-3 win over Dubuque Fighting Saints. Mikesch expects this game to be more physical than what they dealt with against Muskegon. 

This week Green Bay will square off against the Phantoms on Thursday at 7:05 p.m. and on Saturday for a 7:05 p.m. puck drop. NEW Radio Sports Network will broadcast the game on 104.1 WRLU and on NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com.

WATCH A PREVIEW OF THE SERIES AGAINST YOUNGSTOWN HERE:

The Green Bay Packers announced earlier this week that they have activated rookie quarterback Jordan Love after being on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The former Utah State standout was placed on the list last week along with teammate Krys Barnes. General manager Brian Gutekunst made the announcement that Love will be ready for team activities after a couple necessary steps. The first-round pick is still listed as the third-string quarterback behind Tim Boyles and Aaron Rodgers.

The Green Bay Blizzard indoor football team continues to make moves this offseason. The Blizzard announced earlier this week that they have re-signed defensive lineman Vincent Char from Widener University. Earlier this month Green Bay re-signed another defensive lineman in Adawale Adeoye who was awarded Honorable Mention All-Mountain West in 2018. The last notable to resign is wide receiver Trevon Saunders from Urbana University.

The Milwaukee Brewers and Texas Rangers announced earlier this week that the teams will finish 2021 Spring Training schedules with a two game set. The games will take place at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas on Monday March 29 (7:05 p.m. CT) and Tuesday, March 30 (1:05 p.m. CT). 

The 2021 Cactus Crew schedule will play 32 games total with 16 at American Family Fields of Phoenix, Arizona which will start on Saturday, February 27 at 1:10 p.m. MST against the Oakland Athletics. 2021 marks the 24th season of spring training in Phoenix for the Crew and the first regular season at American Family Field in Milwaukee.

Green Bay Packers announced this week that Jamaal Williams is activated after being placed on the COVID-19 injured reserve list. Williams was placed on the list after being classified as a high-risk contact in association with teammate and rookie running back AJ Dillon. Williams missed the Thursday Night Football game against the San Francisco 49ers, but he will be suited up this Sunday for a home matchup at noon against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Among other notables, rookie linebacker Kamal Martin is also activated for this Sunday while Dillon still needs to be cleared by the Packers head physician.

Devin Williams of the Milwaukee Brewers has been crowned the 2020 National League Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year. This award came shortly after receiving the 2020 National League Reliever of the Year award two weeks ago. The right-hand relief pitcher received 14 of 30 first-place ballots registered by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America and finished with 95 points while second-place finisher Alec Bohm of the Philadelphia Phillies tallied only 74 points. “To be honest, it still really hasn't set in," Williams said in an evening call with reporters. "I've always been the kind of person who keeps his head down and keeps going.” The 26-year-old went 4-1, striking out 53 batters in 27 innings of work giving him a 0.33 earned run average. This is the Brewers' first Rookie of the Year since Ryan Braun won in 2007.

The 6-2 Packers are set to face the 5-3 Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, November 22nd at 3:25 p.m. on Fox. The original game was set for kickoff at noon and was flexed to the new slot to be a part of Fox’s national doubleheader along with the Cowboys at Vikings game. Indianapolis will visit the Tennesse Titans in week 10 for a Thursday Night Football matchup while Green Bay will be facing the 1-7 Jacksonville Jaguars at 12 p.m. for a home game at Lambeau Field.

Current member of the Green Bay Gamblers and Medford, Wisconsin native Sawyer Scholl has committed to the University of Wisconsin. The former Notre Dame Academy standout played his last three years of high school hockey with the Tritons totaling 37 points in 22 games his senior season. Just prior to Sawyer's commitment to Wisconsin, he was selected to the Green Bay Gamblers in the 2020 USHL Phase 2 Draft. This Thursday and Saturday the Gamblers will take on the Youngstown Phantoms at the Resch Center for a 7:05 PM puck drop on both dates. NEW Radio Sports Network will broadcast the game on 104.1 WRLU and on NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com

The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team is looking to open up the season ranked at #7 according to the Associated Press poll. Badger basketball will return nearly all of their key players in the rotation except for Depere, WI native Brevin Pritzl. Coach Greg Gard said. “You can’t bask in the shadow of the trophy. We’ve got to get better and it’s going to take a lot of work. We’re going to miss Brevin. Some of the things he did, we’ve got to get better at doing and fit in new pieces.” Wisconsin Basketball has key players returning such as big man Nate Reuvers who was named to the preseason All-Big Ten and D’Mitrik Trice who was named to the 2020-21 Bob Cousy Award watch list. Last season the Badgers went 21-10 and 14-6 in conference play which was good enough for a three-way share of the Big Ten regular-season championship. 

The University of Wisconsin Badger Football team looks forward to playing this week after missing the last two weeks due to COVID-19 outbreaks. The Badgers have had zero new positive tests within the last few days and had a regular Monday morning practice today. Athletic director Barry Alvarez spoke to the media about the playing situation, "We feel confident that we have a handle on the situation and are excited to play this week at Michigan. As we have done throughout, we will continue to monitor our testing results and base our decision on those results." The possibility of not playing will increase the Badger's chances of missing the Big Ten Conference game as each team must play at least six games in order to compete for the conference title. Saturday night on ABC at 7:30 p.m. the 1-0 Badgers will visit Ann Arbor to face the 1-2 Michigan Wolverines. 

Only a small group of runners will gather on Saturday to run in the Door County Turkey Trot on Saturday.

Approximately 80 people signed up for the race, which went from being canceled before being revived as a virtual race last month. After picking up their shirts on Friday, runners now have until November 14th to simply run/walk their miles at their own pace on their own course. A group of runners from Run the Door will tackle the course at 9:45 a.m., but otherwise participating on your own is encouraged. 

Please send photos of you and your group in your Turkey Trot t-shirt to Tracy Wautlet @ twautlet7@yahoo.com to post on the Sevastopol Facebook Page.

Tim Kowols spoke with coach Pat Mikesch about the first game of the year

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix basketball is back. The Horizon League declared its 2020-21 conference schedules for men’s and women’s basketball today. The league schedule consists of 20 games over the weekends only, with five being “home” and five being “away”. For example, the men will host UWM for two games with no trip to Milwaukee, play at Wright State for two games with no home matchups against them. The men's Horizon League schedule starts on Dec. 19 and will run for 10 consecutive weeks, while the women's Horizon League schedule will start on Dec. 12 and run for 10 weeks. Outside of the conference, the men’s team will play Marquette on Tuesday, December 8th. The rest of the non-conference games for both men’s and women’s teams will be announced sometime next week. There will be no fans allowed through the end of 2020 but the games will be live-streamed.

The Green Bay Packers backfield could look different for the Thursday Night matchup with the unknown health of star running back Aaron Jones and now Jamaal Williams ruled out of Thursday nights game because he had been in contact with rookie running back AJ Dillon who was ruled out earlier this week due to testing positive for COVID-19. The two remaining healthy options are Tyler “Swervin Ervin” and the second-year man out of Notre Dame, Dexter Williams. Dexter Williams has zero carries this season, while Ervin has only four rushing attempts. Matt LaFleur said on Tuesday that Jones will be a game-time decision. This morning the 49ers closed their team facility due to one positive COVID-19 test, the organization has started protocol and is working with the league in preparation for Thursday’s game.

National League Reliever of the Year Devin Williams of the Milwaukee Brewers has been nominated for National League Rookie of the Year. The right-hander is one of three finalists that have been selected by Baseball Writers Association of America, Alec Bohm who is the Philadelphia Phillies third/first baseman and infielder San Diego Padres Jake Cronenworth are among others. Williams allowed only one earned run in 22 appearances, while he racked up 53 strikeouts over 27 innings, good for an impressive 0.33 ERA. The secret to Williams' success is in his change-up. Sports Illustrated conducted research on Williams dominating changeup, the average MLB changeup has a spin rate of 1,700-1,800 rpm; Williams’s average is 2,800-3,000. Contrasting hitters are batting only .032 against his change-up, and it has a 61.1% miss rate. He throws it over 52% of the time. Williams has high hopes for NL Rookie of the Year, the last season a Brewer player won this award was in 2007 by Ryan Braun, who was a third baseman at the time. The voting will be finalized on Monday, November 9th for both the NL and AL leagues.

The Green Bay Gamblers of the United States Hockey League (USHL) have announced

 forward Jesse Tucker as team captain. Gamblershockey.com counted 18 goals, 25 assists, and 43  total points for the Longlac, Ontario native who is entering his third year with the Gamblers. 

Forward Jake Schmaltz and defenseman Mason Lohrei were named the assistant captains. Each were Boston Bruins (NHL) draft picks in the 2019 and 2020 draft. Lohrei led the USHL in assists and was second in scoring, which was good enough for 2nd Team All-USHL. Schmaltz, who is a University of North Dakota commit, participated in 47 games with the Gamblers tallied 13 goals and 19 assists. With team captains established, Green Bay looks forward to their 27th season in the USHL, as they host the Muskegon Lumberjacks on November 7th. 

Tim Kowols caught up with Gamblers coach Pat Mikesch, heres what he had to say about the captains: 

The Wisconsin Badgers have canceled their upcoming football game against the Purdue Boilermakers after a COVID-19 outbreak. This is the second straight cancellation game for Wisconsin because of Coronavirus, following the Nebraska cancellation on Halloween. On an optimistic note, the Badgers have scheduled a game time against the Michigan Wolverines. On Saturday, November 14th, 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC, the 1-1 Wolverines will host the primetime game versus the 1-0 Badgers. Michigan is coming off a loss to in-state rival Michigan St. Wisconsin started their season off on a big win against Illinois with an unbelievable performance by redshirt freshman Graham Mertz, who looks to be back for the Michigan game. 

The Packers have a short turn-around this week, coming off a home loss against the Vikings and COVID-19 concerns. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur says all indications are to prepare for Thursday against the San Francisco 49ers, the plan is to prepare for whatever comes their way and adjust accordingly. As of now the Packers will fly out of Green Bay Wednesday and head to Santa Clara, California to meet the 49ers on TNF.

The Green Bay Blizzard welcomes back Indoor Football League rookie of the year Bakari Triggs. The defensive back amounted 47 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, 10 pass breakups, and six interceptions that earned him First Team All IFL honors. Green Bay also re-signs former Arkansas State Defensive Lineman Dajon Emory to the 2021 roster. Two new signings are former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back Keith Lewis and defensive back Danzel McDaniel. Other notable re-signings are Alex Thompson and Deldrick Canty.

The Green Bay Gamblers have added Fargo Force forward Alex Nordstrom to the roster. Fargo receives a 6th round pick in the 2021 USHL Entry Draft in return. Nordstrom made appearances in 34 games for the Force last season, rattling off nine goals and eleven assists. The 19-year-old Hancock, Michigan native is currently committed to Michigan Tech University. Green Bay starts off their season on Saturday, November 7th against the Muskegon Lumberjacks at the Resch Center. 

Green Bay Packers rookie running back AJ Dillon will be moved to the reserve/COVID-19 list in which he will not play Thursday against the San Francisco 49ers due to league protocols. This is the first positive test for a Packers player since August, Dillon entered the NFL’s concentrated protocol and will self-quarantine. The Packers issued this statement, “We will continue to work with the league on contact tracing as we follow the guidelines of intensive protocol. All player meetings will be conducted virtually today. Our focus continues to be on the health and safety of our players and community. We will continue to work closely with the NFL and medical professionals and follow their guidance.” The Packers rookie played 10 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, while uncertainty remains with Packers superstar running back Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams could be looking like the lone running back if Jones is not ready to go for Thursday Nights matchup.

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook had a career day Sunday as the Green Bay Packers fell 28-22 at Lambeau Field.

Both teams traded long drives in the first quarter with the Packers cashing in on a five-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Davante Adams and the Vikings answering from 21 yards out on a Cook rush. It was deja vu in the second quarter as well with Adams and Cook each scoring again on long drives.

The Vikings opened the half with the ball in the 3rd quarter tied 14-14 and promptly marched down the field again for Cook's third touchdown of the day. Cook would visit the endzone again after the Vikings forced the Packers to turn the ball over on downs and caught a 50-yard screen pass to help take a 28-14 advantage.

Adams caught his third touchdown pass of the day late in the fourth quarter and the Packers would get the ball back with just under a minute to go. Rodgers fumbled as he was hit throwing ball and the comeback attempt was thwarted. 

Cook's four touchdowns tied a Vikings record for scores in a game by a single player, tying Ahmad Rashad.  The Packers will have a quick turnaround after seeing their season mark drop to 5-2. They head to Santa Clara for Thursday night football to face the San Francisco 49ers. 

The Green Bay Packers (5-1) look to sweep the Minnesota Vikings (1-5) entering week 8 at Lambeau Field with kickoff @ Noon. The Packers last saw Minnesota week 1 in which the Green and Gold won the high scoring game 43-34. Aaron Rodgers is leading his heavy-duty offense into this home match without the fans being there, though that will not stop him from playing well executed football against a division rival. Packers are sitting at the top of the NFC North with the Bears loss to the L.A. Rams on MNF. The Vikings have struggled this season but Green Bay does not take any game lightly especially with Minnesota coming off the bye week. Minnesota Coach Mike Zimmer looks to turn his team around this week while second year coach Matt Lafleur will try to improve to 6-1. Spectators can catch the border battle matchup on Fox.
