Former Milwaukee Bucks forward assures he's not calling it quits just yet
It wasn't shocking that the Milwaukee Bucks didn't rush to re-sign Danilo Gallinaro once free agency opened several months back. Coming over via the buyout market last season, Gallinari didn't dazzle in his 17 regular season games with the Bucks, averaging 2.8 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists per contest. On top of that, with a clear emphasis on injecting more youth into the roster, it wouldn't have made much sense to re-sign the recently turned 36-year-old.

Aaron Ashby is back in the major leagues, and seemingly at the perfect time, too. Recalled by the Milwaukee Brewers prior to Sunday afternoon's series finale against the Oakland Athletics in a corresponding move for reliever Nick Mears' placement on the injured list with right forearm inflammation, Ashby is seemingly trending upward in every conceivable facet of late. ...

When the Milwaukee Brewers let Craig Counsell walk to the Chicago Cubs -- walk as in lost him to a record-breaking contract, of course -- the initial reaction out of Wisconsin was one of betrayal. Counsell should and will be booed at American Family Field for quite some time, and he can't be surprised by the overwhelming anger of a fanbase that once loved him.

Marquette Men’s Soccer Unloads On Marist To Stay Perfect On The Season
Sweet Christmas, that was an asskicking. Apparently, at least. I wasn’t watching live as Marquette men’s soccer took on Marist at Valley Fields on a hot Sunday afternoon, but I was paying attention to live stats. The goals just kept. On. Coming. From the Golden Eagles as they staked themselves to a 2-0 lead at intermission and then tacked on four more after halftime for a 6-1 smashing of the Red Foxes. The lopsided win moves Marquette to 2-0-0 after the first weekend of the 2024 season.
