Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Mason Crosby is the Packers kicker, and the coach has no intention of bringing in another kicker to replace him.
Crosby has really struggled this season, missing a makeable field goal in each of the last four games, and it’s obvious his confidence is shaken. However, this late in the season, [...]
Many are saying the Tiger Woods scandal these last few weeks is the greatest fall from grace by any athlete in sports history. And while that may be true…I believe Tiger will be able able to bounce back.
I think it’s a great thing for the world’s number 1 player to take an “indefinite break” from [...]
For years the mythical “state champion” in college basketball lived in Madison or in Milwaukee. Not this year. The best college basketball team in Wisconsin this season calls Titletown home.

Leek joins the likes of former Badger Duany Duany [...]
It’s not only a big night for the Packers but for Ravens longsnapper Matt Katula. He’s facing his childhood team for the first time at Lambeau Field on Monday Night Football. Katula is a Brookfield native who went to high school at Catholic Memorial. After four successful seasons playing ball for the Wisconsin Badgers…Katula was [...]

I could write about Tiger Woods withdrawing from his own golf tournament this upcoming weekend, citing injuries from a car crash near his Florida home early Friday, but I would have to bite my tongue and not make [...]
Buzz Williams was wrong, but I’m sure he wouldn’t mind admitting that. During an interview Wednesday in Orlando at Marquette’s practice before the start of the Old Spice Classic, Williams said his Marquette squad was the worst team in the tournament.
