What The Future Holds For The Bucks

The Milwaukee Bucks have been enjoying their best NBA seasons the past couple of years. Surely a big leap from the team’s perennial bottom-dweller status that fans have lamented for the better part of the 2000s.

For the second consecutive year, Milwaukee is expected to reach the playoffs and are, as of this writing, toting a 29-23 record. This is good enough to keep the team in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings, just a few games behind the Wizards and the Cavaliers.

But the better news is that the Bucks should get even better next season. Sure, it’s easy to feel good about the Bucks’ playoffs chances now, with the Lebron-led Cleveland team struggling, but Boston has come out to be the new team to beat. The Bucks’ previous-year tormentors the Raptors are also showing stellar play recently.

The argument for a better Bucks in the 2018-19 season is mainly bolstered by the return of Jabari Parker. The top prospect tore his ACL during his rookie season in December 2014, much to the dismay of devoted Bucks fans. But he is officially back to complement Giannis’ game, in his return scoring 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting with three rebounds.

Going back to the Cavs, the single most impactful development that would make the Bucks a dominant Eastern team is the imminent departure of Lebron for a Western Conference team. If James indeed moves to the West, it will tilt the balance of power in the NBA and allow more Eastern franchises to rise. By then Giannis would be in his prime and Parker would have completely re-adjusted to the game.

The Greatest Football Stadiums In The U.S.

No other experience can compare to watching American football live in a stadium. The chaotic joy of unabashed pride while cheering on the home team is further magnified by all the tens and thousands of wild creatures screaming out with all the familiar colors painted on their skin and clothes. Here are some of the loudest and proudest football stadiums in the United States.

Lambeau Field

We’re from Wisconsin, and we know first-hand how amazing Lambeau Field truly is. While the weather can get pretty chilly during the fall and winter, it only makes us Packers faithful raise our voices more. Even the team itself has testified to just how crazy things can get over at Lambeau Field.

CenturyLink Field

The fans of the Seattle Seahawks have been known to intimidate with their loudness. In fact, CenturyLink Field has been named the loudest stadium more than once. Seahawks fans are so loud that they’re referred to as the 12th man, the other team member.

Arrowhead Stadium

Another stadium that has the most eardrum-splitting fans is the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Visiting teams and tourists know just how big a deal football can be in Kansas when they join the massive Chiefs army at Arrowhead Stadium. The noise in Arrowhead Stadium, at one point, has gotten so loud that Guinness recorded it as the loudest roar ever heard in a stadium.

The best Brewers moments to date

The Milwaukee Brewers is one of the youngest teams in the league and you can understand the short time frame that we're dealing with here, trying to assess that narrow stretch, looking for the greatest moments of a group that is yet to prove its mettle. But in more ways than one, that short span of time and some of the records its players were able to make are some of the reasons why it's right to think that they've already started proving their worth. But we probably need more time, and that World Series was almost theirs that fateful year in 1982. We want to hope that this is just the beginning for the Brewers. History usually takes care of the rest.

Here are some of those heart-thumping moments fans usually like to recall: 

Braun and the 2008 Playoffs-qualifying game 

The dramatic turnout of the regular season, with Braun's two-run home run that posted a 3-1 lead for Brewers as the highlight, sealed their Playoffs qualification. It had been 26 years since the Brewers’ postseason game and that one was as sweet as it gets. 

Morgan’s 2011 NLDS win 

Morgan’s single to center tease so Gomez can proceed with the winning NLDS run is one of those unforgettable plays that fans can’t get over. That 3-2 lead over the Diamondbacks was the Brewers’ 2011 qualifier for the NLCS. 

Cooper’s hit for the Brewers’ World Series appearance 

The only World Series appearance of the Brewers was made possible by Cecil Cooper’s opposite field single to left. That remains to be a favorite for Brewers fans just to nostalgically remind them how close the World Series had been in 1982.

Who Are The Greatest Bucks?

Image source: http://www.nba.com/

Although not as high profile as the Lakers or Celtics or other dynasty teams, the Milwaukee Bucks have indeed made their mark in the NBA. They’ve won the NBA Championship once, the conference title twice, and their division 13 times. They’ve had a proud basketball tradition, and they’ve been led by some of the greatest players in NBA history. Let’s take a look at some of them.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Considered by many basketball experts and historians to be the greatest NBA center in the history of the league, the player formerly known as Lew Alcindor had been a dominant force in basketball for over three decades. He currently holds the record for the most points ever scored by a single NBA player in his career. He was long, lean, and fast. He could defend as well as he could score. Kareem became the quintessential NBA big man, emerging at the end of the careers of Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain. He was also the Bucks’ leader during their only championship season.

Oscar Robertson

Very few NBA players were as versatile as the Big O. Alongside Kareem, Oscar Robertson helped the Bucks win their first and only NBA title in 1971. He was an NBA All-Star 12 times, and a part of the All-NBA team 11 times in his career. Robertson was an MVP once. He also did what until last season, nobody considered possible – get a triple-double average in an entire NBA season.

Why The Greek Freak Might Win The MVP Award Sooner Than You Think

Image source: youtube.com

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been a revelation in the NBA, especially this past 2016-2017 season where the Greek superstar delivered one highlight reel after another. His length and athleticism were in full effect; if Russell Westbrook had not developed into a phenomenal, record-breaking, triple-double machine, Antetokounmpo might have been in serious running for the MVP award.

Antetokounmpo, christened playfully and lovingly as the “Greek Freak” by fans and basketball aficionados alike, was named the league’s most improved player this past year, the hands-down choice for the award. The 6-11 monster guard-forward has great quickness to complement his electric offensive and progressing defensive skills. He is starting to grow out if his lanky rookie frame, too.

The Greek Freak averaged nearly a double-double in the 2016-17 season (22.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game), with assists and blocks and turnover ratio also seeing improvements. He has proven to be clutch in the end-game, and managed to deliver lots of memorable games both leading to and in the NBA playoffs. He is a nightmare in transition and a daunting defensive assignment in the paint, as he can dunk with both hands, create space, and take flight with little momentum.

It’s no wonder that current MVP Kevin Durant from season champion Golden State unabashedly guaranteed that the Greek Freak will get the coveted award. And basketball analysts can’t help but agree, saying that Antetokounmpo just needs to develop a consistent outside shooting to make him unstoppable.

Green Bay Packers: Titletown’s Top Quarterbacks Ranked

The Green Bay Packers is one of the most storied franchises in the NFL. It has the most number of championships won (13) in professional football history. Behind this success are some of the greatest players in NFL history.

Here are the top three quarterbacks in Green Bay Packers history.

Bart Starr

Bart Starr is one of the players who spearheaded the first Packer Dynasty. Starr quarterbacked the Packers to five NFL titles, including a three-peat, in seven years, between 1961 and 1967. Starr went 9-1 in the postseason, having a 61% passing percentage.

Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers was snubbed coming in the NFL. No division I program wanted Rodgers out of High School in Northern California. In 2002 Rodgers was recruited the University of California, Berkeley and immediately lit up the Pac 10 competition for 5,469 yards and 43 touchdowns over the course of two years.

In 2005, Rodgers was drafted by the Packers but only as a backup for Brett Favre. But when Rodgers was given the keys of the franchise in 2008, Rodgers completed 64% of his passes, and 28 touchdowns in his first season as a starter. In 2010 Rodgers led an almost impossible Super Bowl run, and was claimed MVP honors.

Brett Favre

Brett Favre was the Green Bay Packers. He’s the ultimate NFL iron man, Favre would grind 20 NFL seasons and an improbable streak of 297 consecutive starts. Brett Favre retired at age 41, owning every significant passing record on the books.

Who Are The Best Qbs In Green Bay History?

Quarterbacks – the captains of the football field.  The orchestrators of the offense.  The mavericks that opposing defenses dread.  Almost all of the greatest football teams in history had quarterbacks that blazed the fields with their genius and athleticism.  Here are the greatest QBs in Green Bay Packers history.

Bart Starr

Bart Starr was the leader’s leader.  He also had one of the best arms in NFL history.  But what set Starr apart was that he knew how to win, bringing in five championships and two Super Bowls (the first Super Bowls in league history).  He was the Most Valuable Player for both games.



Brett Favre

A greatest Green Bay QBs list wouldn’t be complete without the indomitable Brett Favre.  A three-time MVP and an 11-time Pro Bowler, Favre is the all-time leader in passing and touchdowns for Green Bay, and in consecutive games started in NFL history.  He also has a Super Bowl ring.  Sadly, many people also remember how he left the team.

Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers is the modern day Green Bay QB.  He rocketed, completing 4,000 passing yards in his first two seasons starting for the team.  He is the only player in NFL history to achieve that feat.  His third year was even more special, as he helped the Packers to a Super Bowl victory.  His future is bright.
