The 10-31 Raptors play the 22-17 Bucks in Milwaukee starting at 7PM CT, No national TV coverage.

While the Raptors have won their last two games they are 1-18 on the road and the Bucks are favored by 11.5 points.

Wondering if it’s any good?

Oh No! Bob Uecker died. 😢

It is reported that Bob Uecker has passed away.   Brewer games just won't be the same for a while.  RIP MR BASEBALL!!!!!

Great story from MLB     https://www.mlb.com/news/bob-u...%20his%20quick%20wit.

Bucks up 18-9 in the 1st.

Buckeyes come to the Kohl Center tonight to take on Bucky.  Game is at 8:00 CST and can be seen on the Peacock Network.

Badgers are back in the top 25 at # 24. O$U is unranked.   Badgers are 13 - 3 and 3 - 2 in B1G. O$U is 10 - 6 and 2-3 in BIG.   After a 3 game losing streak the Badgers have won 5 in a row.  No word on whether an injured Max Klesmit will be back in the starting line up or Kamari McGee will get the start again.

F'UM BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another chance for an elite guard to put up 40+ on the Bucks.

Middleton already ruled out for tonight probably because he'll play the back to back tomorrow night against the Magic. Trent Jr. questionable with back spasms. Rollins is questionable with back spasms. Giannis is probable.

the Green Bay Packers will have the opportunity to draft players such as these who were drafted at #23 over the past 10 years:

Brian Thomas, Jr. WR Jacksonville

Jordan Addison WR Minnesota

Kaiir Elam CB Buffalo

Christian Darrisaw T Minnesota

Kenneth Murray LB Chargers

Tytus Howard T Houton

Isiah Wynn TE New England

Evan Engram TE Giants

Laquon Treadwell WR Minnesota

Shane Ray OLB Denver

Interesting that the last two 23^rd overall picks were damn good WRs who both had highly productive rookie seasons.

Playing games in foreign countries, having to watch playoffs via streaming, playoff games on a Monday... WTH is happening to football?

Whatever it may be, here is the Fire Bowl featuring:

MIN (14-3) #5 vs LAR (10-7) #4 (at Phoenix)

I think most folks think the Vikes should rout the Rams, and that's understandable. Their offense is better than their defense, but they're still a fair-to-good defense.
The Rams have been on a roll winding up the season, have got some guys back from injury, and have been playing well.
Neither team is particularly good at rushing, and they're ranked a lot closer than I expected in passing yards, but the Vikes score an average of about 4 points more per game.
Neither team defends the pass well, but the Vikes are ranked 3rd for rushing defense. They're also ranked much better at points allowed, about 3 less per game.

So, it looks like it should be bombs away for both teams, and that means how well the respective OLs do in pass pro will determine the winner.
The Rams gave up only 31 sacks this year; Vikes gave up 49.

The more things change, the more things stay the same. Is there something about the culture of the Packers over the last 15 years that makes this more likely? This list doesn't even include the fake FG TD and the Bostick onside kick against the Seahawks in January 2015.

This article is behind a paywall, but worth the read if you have access. Here's a couple of excerpts.

• The start: Green Bay owns seven of the NFL’s worst 37 special-teams EPA performances (19 percent) in the playoffs since 2008 despite accounting for only 24 of the 378 individual team postseason appearances (6 percent) over that span, per TruMedia.

Damaging as the turnover was, this was only the fourth-costliest special teams play for Green Bay in the playoffs since 2008, per TruMedia. The top three: Eric Weems’ 102-yard kickoff return for a touchdown for Atlanta after the 2010 season (-6.1 EPA); Jeremy Ross’ muffed punt against San Francisco after the 2012 season (-5.5); and the blocked punt San Francisco returned for a touchdown after the 2021 season (-5.3).
