"Next offseason, the NFL will release one letter of the schedule every two hours starting with Commissioner Roger Goodell announcing the first letter from the Lombardi Trophy Presentation Stage Sponsored by Crypto dot com at Super Bowl LVIII."
@GrantWahl
Give the managers two VAR challenges. They won't waste their challenges on trivial stuff, we won't have random stoppages where no one knows what's happening, and there will be less whining about the refereeing because the refs can say "If you don't like it, challenge it."

If it weren't for the Brewers playing on the West Coast and a 1 a.m. page deadline, I'm not sure we would've gotten the big news on the front page for the weekend

Chris Davis Jr.'s 51 points from last night is also the gym record at Craig High School now, according to longtime Gazette sports editor Dave Wedeward.

Taking this Onion post and its replies too seriously, but...They did "he a virgin" because traditionally, headline writers didn't use forms of "is" in headlines to save characters in typesetting. The Onion uses this no "is" construction often.
Sources: Broncos guard Quinn Meinerz, who has started 39 games since Denver selected him out Wisconsin–Whitewater in the third round of the 2021 Draft, is signing a four-year, $80 million contract extension that includes $45 million guaranteed and ties him to the team through the
Janesville Parker's Cayden Brandenburg broke 48 seconds in the 400-meter dash at the Myrhum Invitational in Hartland today, finishing in 47.69 seconds to win the race. That is some legit state championship speed.
If you couldn't stay up, here's what happened when Milton met Kaukauna in a WIAA Division 1 state softball semifinal game Friday night. Nobody, at least on the Milton side, is gonna forget it:

If the weather cooperates, would the WIAA allow Lakeside Lutheran (bottom left) and Lake Mills (upper right) to play their sectional semifinal boys basketball game right on Main Street? Or maybe somebody in town can offer up their driveway?

Sisters Paige and Kenedi Pryne play softball on opposite sides of Janesville's Craig-Parker rivalry. Kenedi's Vikings got the better of Paige's Cougars last week, and the rematch is set for tomorrow. They were kind enough to talk to me in between:

Hard to tell from across 10 lanes of track but that is Janesville Parker’s Cayden Brandenburg receiving his winner’s medal after the Division 1 boys 400-meter dash. His time was 47.77 and he’s got two races left to go, the 200 and the 1,600 relay.

Shout-out to Janesville Parker girls soccer, which won its first Big Eight game since 2017 tonight, head coach Rudy Cisneros tells us. The Vikes beat Madison La Follette 8-0.
Trying to pass the time till 9 p.m. when Milton state softball semifinal game starts? why not catch up on what happened with the Red Hawks yesterday at Goodman Diamond? Gwen Baker set a Division 1 single-game tournament record for K's.

's Monterey Park, where the city and a company contracted to help redevelop the former lagoon that drained after the Monterey Dam was taken out are no longer working together.
Parker had three individual regional champs today, as well: Cayden Brandenburg, who is still undefeated at 175 pounds; Avery Keller at 157; and Carter Wesley at 190.
Goll was the Badger Large player of the year ahead of Oregon’s Vaughn Karvala, who recently picked up a Marquette offer. Milton had a lot of awesome athletes in the Class of 2024 and he certainly was one of them.

Say what you will about Packers fans "buying shares" in the team that don't really mean anything (I know a lot of people make fun of it), but Green Bay's ownership arrangement prevents stuff like this from ever happening there.
The Perk is getting packed for a ranked NCAA Division III showdown between No. 3 UW-Whitewater and No. 14 UW-La Crosse in Whitewater. Updates will be here.

Whoever built the graphic probably just assumed LeBron's double-double was points and rebounds without actually looking at the box from the game in question.
That’s a wrap on state track. Janesville Parker got its first boys state title in 27 years and finished in the top 10 in the team standings. Brodhead/Juda’s girls team had a bunch of medalists and also was a top-10 team.
Sophomore Aubree Harwick had the winning shot for the Parker girls, senior

had the winning putback for the Parker boys and Drew King (a Parker junior) scored the winning goal for the Bluebirds.
