It’s January so that means there of course isn’t much news to talk about but that didn’t stop @jrradcliffe.bsky.social from making me defend wanting to have a job in 2027 and holding a draft of Most Boring Available Free Agents Who Would Actually Help The Brewers podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

The haters said I did not have the wherewithal to endure this week. Honestly, great call by the haters.

Miami losing a postseason game at home to a Big Ten team wearing red and white, you say?

I wrote about Riley Nowakowski as a high school senior at Marquette. In 2019. He was very good. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Down 7? The Bears have em right where they want em.

I do not understand how people can watch quarterback play like *gestures to this game, entire postseason* and think Jordan Love is anything short of really, really good. Tells your uncle on Facebook to learn ball.

alright yeah I've seen enough, nobody in sports has it worse than Buffalo Bills fans

Look there’s two months until the season starts so there’s plenty of time for the Brewers to make a move within their pace of free agency operation (read: slow) but…the entire IF depth is currently Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler. That is the weakest spot on the roster.

Oh buddy the discourse is about to be GOOD* *make me want to jump into the nearest Great Lake

Whether you are a prospect sicko or just like reading the names to see which ones you like a la @jrradcliffe.bsky.social here is a story I wrote just for you. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

The Brewers signed shortstop Jose Rodriguez and shortstop Josue Rodriguez today. I am sure that will not be at all confusing.

From what I understand, it’s listed on whatever official documents MLB uses as “Ricky Moneys”. He goes by Ricky Money, and told me that was his last name when I asked which of the two it was. This is the international signing period in a nutshell.

On one hand: Not sure what the defense was on the dribble hand-off play clearly intended to get Minnesota's best shooter a look. On the other: I present to you whatever these three Minnesota players were doing

Missing two free throws up by 3, not fouling up 3 in the final seconds and giving up the game-tying 3, then hitting a 30-footer to win?

The next pod will be recorded at a Burger King

The MLB international signing period begins later this week. That means it’s time for you to meet Ricky Money. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

This was sent after the Packers’ special-teams aided loss at Soldier Field this season. No, the other one.

The Packers will cut McManus and replace him with a new kicker. That kicker will miss a kick that is the determining factor in a playoff loss. This is the circle of life.

This is the most Matt LaFleur game to ever have Matt LaFleured

Wisconsin shot 63% from the field, hit 10 threes and averaged 1.742 points per possession in the second half on the road against the No. 1 defense in the nation. Wut.

Surely Wisconsin missing the front end of the bonus twice in a minute won’t come back to burn them.

Strip sack by the running back? That’s a new one that frankly I’m stunned 2024-25 Wisconsin didn’t get to first!

Thoughts on that targeting, @akschaaf.bsky.social?

William Contreras has entered the discussion.

William Contreras, the lone Brewer to not reach a deal before the deadline to exchange figures, files at $9.9 million. The Brewers came in at $8.55 million. Contreras is asking for a record for second-year arb catchers. Will Smith received $8.55 million in 2024.

Former Twins general manager and VP Thad Levine is joining the Brewers front office. He will be a special advisor to baseball operations.

Today — and I want to be very clear about this — sucks.

Hasn't the precedent been set for this with Xavier Lucas? Couldn't he just unenroll at Washington and enroll at his new school? Or is there something I'm missing about There Are Literally No Rules college football in 2026

Here's the latest updates on what we've learned about the Brewers players in Venezuela and the efforts to fly them back stateside: www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

The Brewers already had the lowest swing rate in baseball, as Craig Counsell would be quick to tell you. Their No. 2 hitting voice is now Daniel Vogelbach. I am curious to see if they swing even less somehow.

The Brewers have announced a series of coaching staff changes: -Daniel Vogelbach hired as hitting coach; Eric Theisen promoted to lead hitting coach -Jason Lane promoted; Matt Erickson new 3B coach -Al LeBoeuf, Julio Borbon to transition into front office roles -Full staff below:

So apparently Grok (among other things you may have heard about!) is giving away entire summaries of paywalled reporting to people in the mentions of the journalists publishing said paywalled stories. Super cool. (And this is coming from someone used to ignoring complaints about paywall content)

Brewers 2025 second round pick Frank Cairone was involved in a serious car accident yesterday, the team announced in a statement just now. He is being cared for at a hospital in New Jersey.

Didn't expect to begin my career as geopolitics reporter today but.../gestures broadly/ Jackson Chourio is one of at least 3 Brewers currently in Venezuela, hitting a huge playoff homer last night. The Brewers are now in scramble mode figuring out what to do next. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

It is time to have a dialogue.

Look I know that the “bluesky can’t take a joke” rep is very well-earned but honestly…I can’t think of an answer? I can’t say enough about how refreshing it is as a beat writer to not be flooded on here with “YoU wOnT aSk ThE tOuGh QuEsTiOnS!” reply guys who just assume media only asks softballs.

Covering a collegiate game in this building for the first time since December 2016. UWM has responded by scoring 6 points in 13 minutes.

Is this the first Bluesky post ever about QQ Express? Because I feel like this is the first ever Bluesky post about QQ Express.

How…do they both have CMC, Olave and the Pats defense? Tommy Pham please sign with the Brewers so I can ask you about your bizarro rules fantasy league my first day of spring training

Going through my camera roll. Found this photo of Oli Dunn and Vinny Capra admiring Dunn’s torpedo bat. Dunn sac bunted in his first PA with it, was optioned the next day and DFA’d later. Capra was in the midst of an 0 for 36 streak. The 2025 Brewers won 97 games.

I am almost always the Go For Two guy but…I kinda hate that call for the Bills?

You mean to tell me Aaron Rodgers locked in on the wide receiver who’s his friend with the game on the line time and time again even though it clearly wasn’t working?

Pleased to report I am having leftovers for the third straight meal

*Person who is extremely good at reading the room voice* This was very fun to put together: I lugged a camera around with me this season. These are the baseball images I’ll remember 2025 by. www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Not to be lost in the insanity of that final play is the refs somehow not calling forward progress stopped after the receiver was pushed back five yards?

For the better part of 15 years, the Green Bay Packers have as an organization neglected address special teams with any sort of investment. A repeated Laissez-faire attitude to an entire phase of the game. It's cost them dozens of games, including playoffs. They fail to address it. It's baffling.
