They're a borderline lottery team. They're not good. I don't care what they did last year. They're a bottom 1/6 offensive team and there's no way they should beat the Bucks, Giannis or not. Honestly, what stood out from Game 1 to me is that the Bucks still had a prayer at a late rally with about 3 minutes to go despite that 60% shooting while shooting 8/800 from 3 themselves. The Bucks shouldn't lose another game to this team. It could happen but they shouldn't.

C'mon guys the Heat stink. Game 1 was annoying but I had zero doubts of winning this series and I think they would do it in 6 if Giannis doesn't play again. These teams aren't even remotely close. Cleveland without Giannis, ok, you can sweat, but in a universe where Giannis doesn't exist, this Bucks roster has no business losing a 7 gamer to the Heat. They're not good.

The Heat aren't dangerous. If Giannis doesn't miss time I doubt the Bucks lose another game. I wish them the best shooting 60% again while the Bucks simultaneously are 8/90 from 3. And still had a chance at a run with a few minutes left. It is annoying that with this dumb set up we aren't playing the Bulls, though. Terrible game but it was actually great to see Middleton look that good.

This is unfortunately exactly the game 1 I was expecting but I won't overreact to it.

I guess I'll bite my tongue on the 11th hot dog (I know it was hyperbole) but I'm pretty much always taking my young kids to the game and I've fed them a meal inside less than a handful of times. I keep seeing these 'expensive' comments and it just shocks me every time because a Brewers game to me has always been one of the more affordable family events. You have to do a little bit of planning but comparable things in the area are way more expensive. I just wonder how much some people get out and actually see the costs of other comparable things. I can bring a pack of m&ms from Walmart inside and the kids are more than happy.

On the quality complaints, yeah, I think that's all valid. If they had one great sausage with fresh toppings I'd probably get it every time I went. Those sad things they are selling now, no, never. I'm not surprised they get good feedback. All kinds of crappy fast food joints have lines out the door. It's probably just a situation where they could make it better but it's not worth the R&D because it's selling. It's sad when you go to Oracle and get something literally called a Sheboygan that's better than anything at AmFam.

People keep saying this and it it always so disingenuous. You can get 4 tickets to a Brewers game this weekend for $50. Honestly, probably less if you went offline and didn't have to pay fees. Anything you buy in the gate is a completely optional expense. They let you cook and drink in the parking lot and they have by FAR the most generous carry-in policy of any major sport. Every time this comes up I just feel like people really need a reality check or are just complaining for the sake of complaining. The food isn't even good in the first place. The avenues for attending a game for a VERY low cost are there. If people aren't willing to do that, they want a fancy seat, they want to buy dinner inside and have 2 beers, that's not on the Brewers, it's on them. A trip to the park has a massive variance in cost.

Lol, my $20 China Rodgers Jets jersey arrived today. Kinda hope it's the 49ers now.

Like I said, those matchups mean something if you think the Celtics are 30 points better than the Bucks. Last year's playoffs aren't even the same team. Middleton didn't even play and the rest of the Bucks roster is different. This year that last game was the Bucks coming off a back to back. They played like poop, but I am fairly confident the Bucks aren't going to lose 4-0 by 40 points each game. They'll be fine. The playoffs are a different animal. Boston also has to beat Philly. Could the Bucks lose to Boston, yeah sure. Are they the worst matchup? Yeah probably by default. Would I pick the Bucks to win still? Yes absolutely. A series is about who has the best player and adjustments in the series. I think we will be fine and win in 6.

I'm getting a kick out of all the Boston-phobia, not here but everywhere. The Bucks will be just fine. I suppose they could lose but I would still bet on them. Every year there is some regular season match-up given far too much weight. They'll be fine. I'd actually feel worse if the games were close. When you lose by 30 and 40 there is nothing to gain by psychoanalyzing. It will be a clean slate if and when they play again. For the Tatum love affair going on, I would suggest visiting a Celtics board and they are 4-6 in their last 10. He's no doubt a great player, but he is well known to sprinkle in his share of ice cold shooting games. The advantage in a 7 game series is always to the team with the best player, particularly when that player scores from 4 feet away.

These have a lot more to do with nostalgia than production. I don't think most people even consider Aramis Ramirez a Brewer.

I don't know where this fiasco ends compensation-wise. The other part of this I'm looking forward to is being rid of all of 12's pals that are just not roster-worthy guys anymore. Tonyan, Lewis, Cobb, Crosby, even Lazard I am ok to watch walk. Just turn the page and see what's out there.

Because Aaron Rodgers is not going to allow the world to watch him on the bench behind Jordan Love, particularly if they actually won some games and the camera panned his face for 1/3 of the game while the entire universe sees that, no, they actually don't need you. They don't look like buffoons then, he does. Not a chance it happens.

I wouldn't care at all if they just shipped him out for a 4th, but I also would love the entertainment value of him showing up to GB in a Cesna in August.

Neither is going to happen, but that is more likely (as in a non-zero chance) than what you suggested. There's no scenario in which that guy is wearing a Packers jersey at camp. The Packers already have some sunk cost in Rodgers for 2023. They already have a QB. Honestly, I do think it's possible they just tell him and the Jets to pound sand and eat it. Like a 2% chance, but there have been some fairly comparable scenarios in sports recently.

Adams definitely would have had other suitors though so there was incentive for the Raiders to move fast. Robert Tonyan to the Bears. I know he was something of a fan favorite, but oof I did not enjoy watching that guy. He looked slower than every OL on the field.

He's not going to play for the Packers or pretend to play for the Packers to exact some sweet revenge plot.

I'll put it in writing that I don't blame BK or anybody else for not trading Rodgers earlier. Yes, yes, I know, some of you wanted to happen last year. But, as I've said every time this comes up, it was a perfectly reasonable way to go about things keeping him again for another run. We'd be arguing now about how we wasted the picks anyway like we had to keep doing with Rashan Gary.

To take your analogy one step farther, being single also sounds fun until you remember what it's like, lol.

I honestly think Rodgers is going to play for like 4-5 more years, but yeah I don't think this trade is going to be super wild. I think TS is close to the mark.

How on earth would anybody know this? Last year he did the colon blow extravaganza and this year he went into a voluntary holding cell. It's March. I don't think anyone is doing much of anything. I doubt his offseason prep changed much from '20 to '21 to '22. He stopped caring, at 38, because he got a big contract? It is not like he was struggling financially before that. Man, everyone knows sports are as short memory as it gets, but the takes on Rodgers this year are so wild to me. He's washed up and now he isn't preparing for the season, lol. He was hurt and they sucked. Father Time catches up to everybody, sure, but feels like people are putting waaaaaay too much stock in the fact he didn't win a 3rd straight MVP. This feels exactly like the "Brady is washed" train that came through about 5 years too early. Spoiler Alert: Rodgers was always "weird." Always. There's an embarrassing video from his first year as a starter where he's strumming a guitar on the beach with Laura Orkin and doing an interview about all the same hippie and love and spiritual beauty stuff. There's the UFO sighting from what, 7 years ago? People mostly just tuned it all out. The grudges are nothing new, he's been doing that since the dawn of time. He has not changed. It was mostly after he took the wrong side on a polarizing issue that the coverage of him and his personality did change, though, and made him out to be this insane whacko who lost his mind, blowing every remotely against-the-grain thought he shared on McAfee into a month-long story.

I really hope we eventually hear what's holding it up. The year could be a huge difference. If we're talking first rounders, 13th overall in 2023, could very well be 30th in 2024. Plus the Jets then obviously get to another impact player right away, if they retain this year's pick. But who knows. Maybe the Packers are attaching a million conditional things tied to Rodgers's performance.

I mean, who the Packers backup QB is next season is a legit question.

I haven't seen anyone say they believe a word. Just telling you what he's literally saying. Although none of it sounds particularly hard to believe. Rodgers does seem to have this idea that only the Green Bay Packers dump aging players unceremoniously.

I don't think that's quite what was said. He came out of Hades and had messages that he was being shopped. And his knee-jerk was 'I'm 90% toward retiring.' I took it as more of a, 'I'm 40, I don't want to go through something new.' But after a couple of days came around to reality that he wanted to play and both sides were mutually disinterested in that being in GB. IMO, he's not coming across as particularly bitter at all though I'm sure it will get reported that way. He also claims he has little/nothing to do with who's been signed. Claims they asked him about Lazard.
