>>Packers To Question Hit On Rodgers: Why No Flag?
(Green Bay, WI) — Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur says the team will get answers from the NFL about a hit on its quarterback. Aaron Rodgers had apparently given himself up as he dove into the end zone when Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Junior put a shoulder into the quarterback’s stomach. There was a flag on the play, but it was picked up. Some of Rodgers’ teammates took exception to the hit. It was ruled that he hadn’t crossed the goal line, but LaFleur still wants to know why the flag was picked up and there was no penalty. The reason it wasn’t a touchdown, was that Rodgers had given himself up. The coach says that would suggest there should have been a penalty for Winfield’s hit.
>>Bucks Will Hang On To Antetokounmpo Even If He Rejects $221M Max Contract Extension
(Milwaukee, WI) — The Milwaukee Bucks plan to keep NBA Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo – even if he rejects the expected 221-million-dollar max contract offer. The Golden State Warriors and Miami Heat are two teams expected to go after the six-11 forward if he becomes a free agent. To avoid winding up with nothing, the Bucks could trade him for a big haul of talent and draft picks. But, they’re not going to do that. Team leaders say they will try to improve their roster this off-season and use the new year to show the Greek Freak why he should stay in Milwaukee. He’s indicated he wants to stay. He also wants to “win championships.”
