The Badgers are back in action tonight playing at Maryland. Wisconsin is coming off a loss at Penn State Monday night, 66-63. The Badgers are 12-6 overall and 4-4 in the Big Ten.
The Bucks are back home tonight hosting Denver. Milwaukee beat the Pistons 150-130 Monday night as Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton both returned to the lineup. Antetokounmpo was nursing a sore left knee and Middleton a sore right knee. Giannis scored 20 of his 29 points in the first quarter as the Bucks broke out to an early lead and never looked back. Middleton had eight points and four assists for Central Division-leading Milwaukee.
Aaron Rodgers says he hasn’t decided whether to continue playing next season. However he is adjusting to the possibility he could end his career somewhere other than Green Bay.
The four-time MVP quarterback is still deciding whether he wants to return to the Packers, retire or request a trade. Rodgers also has noted the possibility the Packers might want to trade him and hand the quarterback job to 2020 first-round draft pick Jordan Love.
“Any time there’s a situation where change is possible, what’s the old adage?” Rodgers said Tuesday on the “Pat McAfee Show on SiriusXM and You Tube “People want to say, ‘Oh, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.’ I always say the grass is green where you water it. I think that’s the most important thing to remember.
“Change is a part of this business. It’s a part of life. I think being open to it and embracing whatever that change looks like is an important part of coming to peace with whatever decision lies ahead of you.”
Rodgers, 39, made this comment one week after saying he believed he could still play at an MVP level in the right situation but added that he wasn’t sure if the right situation would be in Green Bay or somewhere else.
Rodgers also had said last week that he didn’t want to be part of a rebuild “because there’s no point in coming back if you don’t think you can win it all.”
Rodgers has played his entire career with the Packers, who selected him with the 24th overall pick in the 2005 draft.
Rodgers has discussed the possibility the Packers might want to move forward without him. Rodgers said there shouldn’t be any hard feelings from either side if they end up parting ways.
“I love the team,” Rodgers said. “Love the organization. I love the city. I love the region. I’m a minority owner in the (NBA’s Milwaukee) Bucks. I’m going to be a part of the region long after I’m done playing. I have a lot of love for what’s gone on in Green Bay, and I’d love to finish there. I would. I might have finished there. Who knows?”
