Packers receive huge boost on Josh Jacobs’ recovery timeline after finger surgery
The Green Bay Packers get a boost as veteran RB Josh Jacobs undergoes successful surgery on a fractured right ring finger, with the procedure performed by Dr. Steven Shin in Los Angeles. NFL insider Tom Pelissero reports Jacobs should return in a few weeks, shortening the timeline that once hinted at a four‑game IR stint. Jacobs, who hurt his finger during the first quarter of the 45‑27 win over New England, has logged just three games this season, 80 rushing yards and a TD. The Packers now rely on backs like Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong Jr. as they prepare for Week 10’s home clash with the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
Green Bay Packers activate two key reinforcements ahead of Vikings clash
The Green Bay Packers activate running back Chris Brooks and wide receiver Skyy Moore from injured reserve ahead of their Week 10 showdown with the Minnesota Vikings. The 6‑3 Packers, coming off a two‑game winning streak and a 45‑27 win over New England, add Brooks to fill the backfield gap left by injured Josh Jacobs, while Moore boosts the receiving corps and special‑teams depth. The game is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on Fox at Lambeau Field, with both teams eyeing a boost in the NFC North race.
Milwaukee Bucks’ Ryan Rollins gets major shoutout from Taylor Jenkins in loss vs. Orlando Magic
The Milwaukee Bucks fall 107-99 to the Orlando Magic, sealing their NBA Cup exit and extending a nine‑game losing streak to 1‑12. While Jaime Jaquez Jr. leads with 22 points, rookie guard Ryan Rollins draws praise from coach Taylor Jenkins for his defensive hustle, posting eight points, 10 rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes. Jenkins highlights Rollins’ disruptive play and rebounding, though wishes he’d hit more shots. Rollins continues to carve out a key bench role alongside Jaquez, offering energy on both ends despite the team’s overall struggles.
Franz Wagner’s massive performance kills Milwaukee Bucks’ NBA Cup hopes
Franz Wagner ignites the Orlando Magic with a 35-point, 9‑rebounds, 12‑assist night as they beat the Milwaukee Bucks 107‑99 in the NBA Cup on Nov. 13, 2026. Wagner’s 13‑for‑22 shooting and near‑triple‑double shatter the Bucks’ defense, which managed only 14 points in the opening quarter and fell behind by 20 in the third. Coach Taylor Jenkins admits the Bucks failed to adjust, while his own lineup experiment—starting rookie Ousmane Dieng—doesn’t stick. The loss marks Milwaukee’s eighth straight defeat.
Kyle Kuzma’s home was burglarized during Milwaukee Bucks’ defeat to Los Angeles Lakers
During the Milwaukee Bucks' 123-112 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 11, 2026, Kyle Kuzma's Bayside residence was burglarized. Surveillance captured four unidentified intruders ransacking the home between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m., stealing valuables. Police have made no arrests, and investigators suspect a larger theft ring that previously targeted teammate Bobby Portis in 2024. The incident coincided with Kuzma’s sluggish performance—nine points on 2‑for‑8 shooting—and a late‑game foul that injured Luka Doncic, drawing criticism from Charles Barkley.
Milwaukee Brewers Lose NLCS Hero Jake Bauers To Massive $58 Million Deal (Breaking News)
First baseman Jake Bauers, the NLCS MVP who helped the Milwaukee Brewers win their first World Series in 2026, signs a four‑year, $58 million contract with the Boston Red Sox. Bauers posted a breakout season, slashing .266/.389/.484 with 26 homers, 86 RBIs and a 140 OPS+ over 144 games, and was a key offensive force in the postseason. Milwaukee offered a $23.15 million one‑year qualifying deal, but Boston’s long‑term offer sealed the move. The departure leaves the Brewers facing a tough task to replace Bauers’ power and patience as they plan for the 2027 season.
Packers’ Keisean Nixon fires off hilarious response to Kirk Cousins trade
The Packers brace for a tougher Vikings matchup after Kirk Cousins returns to Minnesota, bringing a 4,200‑yard, 30‑TD resume and a link to coach Kevin O’Connell. Cornerback Pro Bowler Keisean Nixon deflects media questions with a dead‑pan joke – “I don’t know. He’s not my cousin” – while eyeing his first interception of Cousins when Green Bay hosts Minnesota this weekend. The article notes Nixon’s rise from return specialist to starter and highlights the looming duel with rookie Justin Jefferson and veteran Jordan Addison.
Carmelo Anthony fires back at Doc Rivers over Giannis Antetokounmpo criticism
Carmelo Anthony rebuts Doc Rivers’ critique of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s game on the latest episode of “7 PM In Brooklyn.” Rivers, speaking on Bill Simmons’ podcast, questioned Giannis’s basketball IQ and said he relies mainly on driving to the basket. Anthony defended the two‑time MVP, calling his style relentless, physical and “powerful,” and likening the criticism to past digs at Russell Westbrook. He argues that Giannis’s lack of finesse is a strength, not a flaw, and urges respect for the Bucks star’s championship‑winning approach.
MLB analyst makes choice Between Cy Young winners Jacob Misiorowski and Cam Schlittler
MLB analyst Brian Kenny declares Brewers’ 24‑year‑old Jacob Misiorowski the superior Cy Young winner over the Yankees’ 25‑year‑old Cam Schlittler. Both earned unanimous votes, but Kenny points to Misiorowski’s 174.2 innings, 1.80 ERA (third‑best single‑season ERA+ ever), 100.5 mph fastball and a 3.6% barrel rate against the NL’s third‑toughest schedule. Schlittler posted a 1.95 ERA, 239 strikeouts in 193.2 innings and a 98 mph fastball, but faced the AL’s second‑easiest lineup. With at least five seasons of control left, either pitcher could anchor a rotation for years.
Green Bay Packers’ Matt LaFleur reveals why he expects Kirk Cousins to start for Vikings
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur says he’s "fairly confident" Kirk Cousins will start for Minnesota when the Vikings visit Lambeau Field on Sunday. Cousins was acquired from the Raiders for a 2027 third‑round pick, a deal LaFleur called "mind‑blowing" given the low price. While Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell hasn’t confirmed the starter, LaFleur notes Cousins’ familiarity with the system and his 2,340 yards, 20 TDs and eight interceptions in nine games with Vegas. The veteran’s return could shape the NFC North showdown.
Tyler Herro unleashes frustration after Milwaukee Bucks eighth straight loss
After the Bucks dropped their eighth straight game to fall to 1‑11 on the season, guard Tyler Herro vents his frustration on X, saying, “This is the most I’ve ever lost in my life.” Herro, fresh off a right‑knee contusion, scores 27 points with seven assists, but Milwaukee still loses, trailing by up to 24 points and surrendering 31 second‑chance points. He urges teammates to play with urgency and focus on winning, highlighting the defensive and rebounding lapses that have plagued the struggling squad.
Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons vows to “Shock the world” with comeback
The Green Bay Packers aim to boost their playoff push as they prepare for a pivotal NFC North showdown with the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 13. While quarterback Jordan Love continues to gel with receivers Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, the defense has been limiting opponents to under 20 points per game in the last four contests. Star edge rusher Micah Parsons, who has been out for nearly a year, hints at a Thanksgiving Eve return against the Los Angeles Rams, promising to “shock the world” with his impact. His comeback could add a new dimension to an already stout defensive front, though questions remain about his readiness after a long layoff.
Mason Miller delivers hilarious response to Jacob Misiorowski comparison
On a November 12 episode of Foul Territory, Padres fireballer Mason Miller quipped that joining starter Jacob Misiorowski’s 100‑mph, six‑inning lane belongs “in some delusional land,” confirming he’ll stay a reliever. Miller praised Misiorowski’s “off‑the‑charts” velocity and strike‑throwing consistency after the Brewers ace won the 2026 NL Cy Young. Miller capped his own breakout year with a 1.67 ERA, 129 strikeouts in 70 innings and 38 saves, cementing his reputation as the NL’s most intimidating late‑inning pitcher. The interview highlights the stark contrast between Miller’s bullpen dominance and Misiorowski’s starting‑pitcher success.
Brewers face major Aaron Ashby decision after historic World Series run
The Milwaukee Brewers clinched their first-ever World Series title, beating the Tampa Bay Rays in five games, and now face a pivotal decision on left‑hander Aaron Ashby. Ashby delivered a flawless postseason, posting 0 runs over 18 innings and allowing only eight baserunners in nine outings. Former GM Jim Bowden says Brewers GM Matt Arnold left the door open to moving Ashby from the bullpen to the starting rotation for 2027, citing his earlier experience as a starter in 2022. With a 4.44 ERA in those starts and a recent shoulder injury, the debate centers on whether his bullpen dominance can translate to a full-time rotation role.
Packers’ Matt LaFleur says Jordan Love is playing like the NFL’s best
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur says quarterback Jordan Love is playing at an elite level, matching the NFL’s best. Love now leads the league with 2,618 passing yards and ranks third with 19 touchdowns, highlighted by a 372-yard, four‑touchdown performance against the New England Patriots. After early‑season struggles, scheme tweaks have boosted his efficiency, helping Green Bay win five of their last six games and positioning them for a key matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. LaFleur praises Love’s accuracy on low‑percentage throws, underscoring the quarterback’s pivotal role as the Packers eye a playoff push.

Misiorowski posted a 16‑5 record, 1.80 ERA, 252 strikeouts and a 0.80 WHIP in 174.2 innings, while Schlittler logged a 1.95 ERA over 33 starts and 193.2 innings.

Milwaukee Brewers right‑hander Jacob Misiorowski wins the 2026 National League Cy Young Award with a historic unanimous vote—30 first‑place votes—after a flawless 1.80 ERA, 252 strikeouts in 174.2 innings and a World Series title. In his MLB Network interview, Misiorowski calls the honor “unreal,” praises his teammates, and thanks his family and fiancé. The 32‑year‑old also reflects on off‑field highlights like hunting with his dad and attending a Chiefs game now that the season is over. His second MLB season cements him as a rising star, marking back‑to‑back All‑Star selections and a pivotal role in the Brewers’ championship run.
Bucks’ Taylor Jenkins addresses NBA probe into Gary Trent Jr. contract
Milwaukee Bucks coach Taylor Jenkins refuses to comment on the NBA’s investigation into guard Gary Trent Jr.’s four‑year, $64 million contract, citing limited speaking authority. The probe questions whether the deal—signed after Trent averaged just 8.1 points on 38.7% shooting—circumvents the salary cap. Jenkins says his focus remains on improving team habits after a loss to the Knicks and preparing for the upcoming game against the Lakers. Trent, a nine‑year veteran, has seen minimal minutes this season, averaging just over six per game and 3.7 points, with a recent illness sidelining him four games.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur calls Vikings’ Kirk Cousins deal “mind-blowing”
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur calls the Vikings’ trade for Kirk Cousins "mind‑blowing," noting the Raiders received only a future third‑round pick. LaFleur, who knows Cousins from his earlier stint in Minnesota, expressed surprise that Minnesota didn’t give up more. The veteran QB, acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of the trade deadline, will face Green Bay at Lambeau Field on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, while the Packers cope with starting running back Josh Jacobs still out with a finger injury.
Brewers star Jacob Misiorowski earns historic unanimous Cy Young honor

In only his second season, the 24‑year‑old right‑hander posted a 16‑5 record, 1.80 ERA, 252 strikeouts and a career‑best 0.802 WHIP, leading both leagues in ERA and Ks. He threw 1,115 pitches at 100 mph or more and delivered 5 2/3 scoreless innings in Game 5 of the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Misiorowski joins a short Brewers list that includes Ferguson, Vuckovich and Burnes.
Packers receive crucial Josh Jacobs injury update ahead of Vikings showdown
Josh Jacobs’ finger surgery puts his status in doubt for the Packers’ Sunday home game against the Minnesota Vikings. Sources say he could be back in 2–3 weeks, but Green Bay will decide Saturday whether to place him on injured reserve, meaning he will miss the Vikings matchup before the bye. Jacobs, who returned earlier this season after a suspension and has bolstered Green Bay’s ground game, faces another setback that could force the Packers to reshuffle their backfield.
Brewers Pat Murphy earns unexpected response from Brian Cashman after controversial Yankees remark
After the Milwaukee Brewers clinched their first World Series title, manager Pat Murphy apologized to Yankees GM Brian Cashman for a hot‑mic jab aimed at former Yankee Jake Bauers. Cashman praised Murphy’s call, saying the gesture meant a lot amid the Brewers’ celebrations. The exchange, reported by USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, highlights sportsmanship between two long‑time baseball executives—Cashman, GM since 1998, who recently secured a contract extension after the Yankees’ ALDS exit. The story also notes the Brewers’ historic championship and other offseason headlines.
Milwaukee Bucks Taylor Jenkins explains why he’s not concerned about Myles Turner’s recent lack of production
Bucks head coach Taylor Jenkins says he isn’t worried about Myles Turner's recent scoring dip—three points in losses to Toronto and Boston after three straight double‑digit games—because the 30‑year‑old is contributing in other ways. Jenkins highlighted Turner’s rebound, assist (six and seven in the last two games) and block numbers, calling him a defensive anchor who’s adapting after Giannis Antetokounmpo’s departure. The coach expects the team to “jump‑start” his offense but trusts Turner’s overall impact to help Milwaukee win.
Taylor Jenkins hit with harsh epiphany after Milwaukee Bucks’ latest defeat vs. New York Knicks
The Milwaukee Bucks were crushed 117-85 by the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, marking their lowest‑scoring output of the season without star Tyler Herro, who sits out with a knee injury. The Knicks exploded in the second quarter (32-13) and built a 26‑point lead early in the third, with the Bucks only managing a brief rally late. Jaime Jaquez Jr. led Milwaukee with 16 points, while Ryan Rollins contributed 14 after rejoining the starters. Kyle Kuzma and Myles Turner combined for just eight points. Despite the loss, head coach Taylor Jenkins stays optimistic, calling the slump an "opportunity" to experiment with lineups and rebuild consistency.
NBA insider delivers concerning verdict on Milwaukee Bucks amid Gary Trent Jr. investigation
NBA insider Brian Windhorst says the Milwaukee Bucks are likely to be found guilty of salary‑cap circumvention tied to guard Gary Trent Jr.’s four‑year, $64 million deal. Despite a lackluster 2024‑25 season (8.1 ppg, 38.7% shooting) and only three appearances this year, the contract has sparked league‑wide concern. If penalized, the Bucks could lose draft picks and face indefinite suspensions, mirroring the Clippers’ recent sanction. The investigation is ongoing, but expectations of a guilty verdict are high.
