Fan opinion · adult language: R-rated fan opinion: Milwaukee has found a beautifully efficient way to turn yelling at a television into a community event. Your living-room wall was never going to appreciate that postseason analysis anyway.

Packers add Culp. Everybody put the damn gold jacket away.

Green Bay signed rookie cornerback Elijah Culp to its practice squad and released guard Josh Gesky on October 13. Culp previously spent time with Arizona and Indianapolis and finished his college career at James Madison.

Fan opinion · adult language: Hell yes, another Packers transaction for us to discuss with the confidence of men who just googled the player. Welcome to Wisconsin, Elijah Culp. Your film session now includes several thousand unpaid evaluators with string cheese on their shirts.

Brewers October: keep your foot down and your lucky bullshit handy.

Milwaukee leads Los Angeles 2–0. NLCS Game 3 is Wednesday, October 14, at 7 p.m. CT.

Fan opinion · adult language: I want the Brewers to play like they expect to win. I want the rest of us to stop speaking in nervous disclaimers. Being excited is allowed, damn it. We do not need to notarize our joy in case baseball gets weird.

Bucks · 2026-10-13

The Bucks need a roster. Your group chat needs adult supervision.

Brew Hoop’s October 13 roster survey reports 17 standard contracts with 15 regular-season spots available. It weighs possible cuts; it does not announce any. Its stated roster deadline is October 19 at 4 p.m. CT.

Fan opinion · adult language: Seventeen contracts. Fifteen chairs. Somehow every guy in the group chat has solved it, and somehow his solution involves another team enthusiastically accepting our problems. Incredible. We should put this level of optimism to work fixing the damn roads.

Zelenov is cooking. Give Badger hockey some damn attention.

Wisconsin announced Vasily Zelenov as Big Ten Second Star of the Week on October 13. He had four points during the road sweep at Minnesota State and seven for the season: one goal and six assists.

Fan opinion · adult language: A Badger is stacking points on the ice while the rest of us perfect the art of arguing about sports we have barely watched. Zelenov brought production. We brought a hot take and half a pretzel. Advantage: Zelenov.

Badgers golf: William Harned shoots 62. Your scramble team needs a lawyer.

Wisconsin Athletics reported on October 13 that William Harned won the Raider Individual with a final-round 62, matching Bob Gregorski’s 1983 school record. Separately, Wisconsin finished third at the Moraine Intercollegiate.

Fan opinion · adult language: A 62 is an actual golf score. Not a nine-hole confession. Not a four-person scramble with unlimited mulligans and a treasurer who mysteriously loses the scorecards. William Harned did the damn thing.

Packers vs. Dallas: quit financing third down with negative damn runs.

In the Packers’ October 13 coordinator report, Adam Stenavich identified inconsistent rushing and negative runs as problems to fix ahead of Dallas. He praised improved pass protection and said the staff would evaluate its best five linemen during the week, rather than change the group simply for the sake of change.

Fan opinion · adult language: My request for the Dallas game is deeply unsexy: stop making second down an apology. A running play does not need fireworks every time. Sometimes three useful yards beat the hell out of a scenic tour that ends behind the line. We ordered forward progress. Why is the receipt showing a delivery fee?
