    That Lions game is the last game of the season and could be a meaningless game for the Lions. So that maybe the starters play the first half and that is it type of game.

    This will be a crazy NFL weekend and could decide who is the #1 and #2 seeds for the NFC. The Lions play the Eagles and the Rams play the Seahawks. The Rams, Eagles and Seahawks are all 7-2. If the Lions win then the Rams or Seahawks will be the #1 seed. If the Eagles win that leaves them at the top at #1 and the Rams or Seahawks at #2. The Lions have to win this game against the Eagles for any chance at the #1 seed and possibly the #2 seed also as the Rams and Seahawks have a lighter schedule than the Lions do. Should be a very interesting weekend.

    Maybe but I don't think it will. They have to go 5-3 to be guaranteed a playoff spot.

    To fit the Brewers defensive philosophy you would have to move Abrams to 2B and move Turang to SS. That improves the offense but I am not sure Abrams would move to 2B as his value would drop significantly by moving from SS to 2B. There are also other teams out there who may need a SS and are willing to play him there. I am also very skeptical if Abrams would even be good defensively at 2B. The competition for Abrams would be fierce and I am not sure the Brewers would be willing to give up Pena or Made for Abrams. I think you will need to include one of Pena or Made to get the deal done along with a few others.

    Only competitive balance picks can be traded. This is incorrect, only competitive balance picks can be traded.

    I can’t unsee this now.

    If you are trading someone like Perkins you are only going to get back someone like Perkins. If you want to go that route then someone like Bleday makes some sense though he is a horrible OF defensively. A Bleday for Perkins trade would make some sense for the A's as they currently don't have a CF and Perkins could fill that void for them cheaply. Bleday had one good year for the A's in 2024 though he K's a lot. Bleday is basically the type of player you would get in return for someone like Perkins. The trade market looks to be rather bleak this off season for bats in the OF.

    He is also a Freshman. How many Freshman QB's are ready to play year one? Most are red shirted and then start the next year or the following year. Even Arch Manning one of the highly rated recruits at QB was red shirted. It is not typical for a true Freshman to start at QB unless well you are a once in a generation talent.

    Defense looks to be a bright spot next year. Still need to see more from Smith especially throwing the ball and the OL still needs work.
  10. nate82
    When has a Freshman QB ever been ready?
  11. nate82
    They were bad. Name a QB after Mertz that PC recruited. Then look at who was going to be the QB in 2023. Not only the QB but the OL was absolutely putrid. PC turned that from one of the best to one of the worst. The OL play started to die under PC there is no denying this and it is not PC derangement. Look at the 2021-2022 offensive lines for proof. I will exclude 2020 during the COVID years but that was another bad OL. Bostad couldn’t even fix those OL’s.

    If you are talking about his recruiting then next year is the starting year to tell what his recruits are doing. His first full recruiting cycle was in 2024. The first class would be the 2023 class but that still had some PC recruits in it. The 2024 team was all his recruits. The best recruit they got in the 2024 class is injured in Kevin Heywood and Xavier Lucas left for more money from Miami. For the 2025 recruiting class hopefully the Badgers have their starting QB in Carter Smith. It is probably a year too early for Logan Powell and Hardy Watts to be starting next year on the OL. If Heywood gets healthy and if Powell and Watts are ready to start next year then that OL will show a huge improvement over the current OL. Defensively the Badgers are still short on the DB side of things IMHO. On the DL it should be a great year for the Badgers in 2026 with Clayton and Williams possibly starting and Ernest Willor should also be starting on the DL. Then you also have Posa at LB. On the offensive side the Badgers may get a freshman who can start at WR in Jayden Petit. The Badgers will get a big loss in losing Latimer at RB as it looks like he will be going to Ohio State. Ohio State has 0 RB's in the 2026 class and it is possible Latimer could start for them as a freshman. I am not sure the Badgers will be able to offer him the same plus the NIL money he will likely get from Ohio State will be better than at WI.

    You will at some point. The way the cable companies are going it is going to look more like the streaming services. Get ready to start using the app. You probably have another five or so years but at some point cable will be switching.

    It could also be another team contacted the Brewers to interview for a position and then blocked it by moving him to a higher position. This is normal within MLB.

    I think some are overlooking how bad the team was heading under Chryst. The Badgers basically had no QB and no RB recruits coming in and that wall everyone was talking about in WI was already crumbling down under Chryst. Mertz was transferring no matter who was going to be the HC. 2023 would have had a starting QB of Howe or Burkett. That would have been a disaster. Not to mention the OL was absolutely horrendous with no signs of any improvement. Defensively the team started to slip. The lack of recruiting and the lack of effort there by the HC really killed an elite defense. Leonard also needs to take some blame here on the recruiting side. There was only a few people at WI who were really trying and interested in recruiting PC and JL were not.

    I don’t see how a trade for Wood wouldn’t include Made in it. I think Made, Pratt and others is more realistic.

    Giannis to quit the Bucks and play for Marquette!

    Grow your hair longer and thicker? Get a wig? Serious answer try what they are suggesting in this Reddit:

    Donovan makes a lot of sense but the Cardinals won’t trade within the division.

    The Athletic has Monken as the best fit for the HC at Wisconsin. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6758442/2025/10/29/james-franklin-lane-kiffin-coaching-fits/?source=user_shared_article What are James Franklin, Lane Kiffin and others’ perfect coaching fits?

    To be fair even if the Brewers could afford him they probably still have no shot at any of these Japanese players. The Bucks drafted a Chinese player one time and he had no interest in playing for the Bucks. It took a lot to convince him to actually come and play for the Bucks. For players in Japan it is Chicago, Seattle, LA and New York that are the popular places for them to play. If a team like the Brewers gave them a lot of money maybe they come but Toronto tried that with Ohtani and he took a deal with the Dodgers instead. A player who has no choice but to sign with a team in an undesirable location will do it if they have no choice but I doubt they stay long term.

    Carlos Gomez was considered a problem player and he turned out to be not a problem. Carlos Gomez is probably a good comparison to Cruz. I am not sure 3B is a good place to put Cruz defensively. Probably the best spot is LF or DH.

    Energy sector will have to expand as the current grid is not efficient enough for EV’s and data centers. Which means more investment into nuclear and other energy plants. This then leads to more construction. There are already billions being spent on creating the data centers throughout the US. This is already creating jobs in the construction industry. The economy is not as bad as it is being made out to be. Job wise yeah it sucks but economically it is good. The economy is in a strong spot right now. There will always be issues in the job market depending on whatever industry is seeing issues. As a whole the economy is looking strong. The mortgage rate isn’t really the problem right now as it is sitting just over 6% for a 30-year. The problem is the price of the houses depending on the market. Some markets are seeing drops but not enough

    No the US Navy would not. The Chinese navy is mostly made up of coast guard like ships. Check the tonnage of the US Navy versus the Chinese Navy. They are not even close. US Navy is about 3.5 million tonnage versus China at about 2 million tonnage. The 2 million includes the Chinese coast guard. Don’t underestimate what a dictator will or won’t do. Case in point Putin basically destroying Russia’s economy and is continuing to do so with no end in sight. I said it will seriously hurt. I don’t need to go into the exact details but an economic crash would be under the seriously hurt category.
