Settle a debate among friends. . .who is the better QB: Favre or Rodgers?

Wondering why #33 has ripped off a long run. He was limping off the field Saturday. That knee apparently is still bothering him. What you know?

It’s been eerily quiet regarding Jaire, Zadarius and Bakhtiari. What do you see as odds we will see any of them yet this season

Hey Jim - In your opinion, have the Packers played a complete game on offense, defense, and special teams? If so, which game? I’m watching the Cowboys dominate their divisional opponent and they look scary good in all facets.

What's the likely movement on the OL if Bakhtiari comes back? Seems like Yosh has been playing pretty well.

A genie arrives at your desk on New Years Eve and guarantees (s)he will grant you three wishes for the world of Wisconsin sports in 2022. You can’t wish for championships. What are they?

What is Greg Gard doing differently this year to connect with this team that was missing last year as evidenced by the “team meeting?”

Most people I talk to, including me, think Covid19 infections just won't affect any active major sports much in the next few months. Are we being naive? Will it change the results of any champions?

Let's assume the Bowl gets played on the 30th....which player could be a surprise contributor thanks to an opportunity?

Assuming that the interest between VTech and Rudolph is mutual, why do you think he is interested in making a lateral move across the country?

Is Joe Rudolph still with the Badgers in 2022? The other nine assistants?
— JCPrincipal (@principal_jc) December 27, 2021
I am just curious because I haven't heard anything about him and I was very excited when we signed him. But what has been going on with Kaden Johnson?

The Badgers WBB team is showing strides (small strides, but still strides) of improvement. Do you think Coach Moseley is the right coach for the job? Do you think she can turn it around (.500+) in the next 4-5 years?

does Christian Yelich turn it around this year

Fave 5: Jim Polzin picks his favorite stories of 2021
Jim Polzin stepped into a new role in June, going from University of Wisconsin men’s basketball beat reporter to Lee Sports Wisconsin columnist.
Polzin wore both hats later that month when, on back-to-back days, he broke the news about seven seniors confronting coach Greg Gard in a secretly recorded meeting during the 2020-21 season and followed up with a column about how that recording had exposed cracks in the program’s foundation.

With the Badger Football defense likely to lose great players to the NFL who are the likely replacements? Will the defense be as stout? What does the defense need to do to improve against teams like Nebraska? Not play contain on the QB as much?
