Ted Simmons says Milwaukee Brewers’ first World Series title finally healed 1982 heartbreak
Former catcher Ted Simmons reflects on the Milwaukee Brewers’ first World Series win, saying the 2026 4-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays finally heals the pain of the 1982 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Simmons, a key member of that 1982 squad, told Fox 6 News that the heartbreak haunted him and his teammates for over four decades, but the current championship lets them move on. He celebrated with franchise legends Robin Yount, Paul Molitor and Rollie Fingers, noting the title’s deep meaning for the old guard and the city’s fans.
4 Milwaukee Brewers players have hit free agency since World Series win
Four Milwaukee Brewers players have entered free agency just days after the club clinched its first World Series title with a 4-1 sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays. First baseman Jake Bauers, pitcher Dustin May, reliever JoJo Romero and ace Brandon Woodruff are now free agents. May declined a $20 million mutual option for a $500,000 buyout, Woodruff’s $22 million qualifying offer is unlikely to be renewed, and Bauers is expected to sign elsewhere while Milwaukee eyes prospect Blake Burke as a replacement. The article also notes the historic 750,000‑person victory parade in Milwaukee and references the 1982 Brewers legacy.

During the Brewers’ World Series parade on Oct. 30, 2026, manager Pat Murphy cracked a joke about desperately needing to pee, prompting a quick quip from outfielder Brian Anderson. The candid moment highlights Murphy’s laid‑back style that has helped steer Milwaukee to its first championship, a record‑setting 103‑win season and an 11‑2 postseason run. The article also notes Murphy’s reputation for humor, his adjustments after the 2025 NLCS loss, and the team’s continued buzz—including Jackson Chourio’s Gold Glove and upcoming trade talks for an All‑Star pitcher.

The spirited promise followed Jacob Misiorowski’s sleepless‑night rant and William Contreras’s MVP chants, capping Milwaukee’s first-ever World Series title. After celebrating in Tampa Bay and attending a Packers game, the team returned to a jubilant city parade, marking a historic moment for the franchise.
Green Bay Packers: 3 studs and duds as 2026 NFL season hits halfway point
The Packers sit 5-3 entering Week 9, navigating a surge of injuries while staying in the playoff hunt. Standout performers include WR Christian Watson, who – after a $92 million extension – boasts a career‑high 42 receptions, 708 yards and six TDs; QB Jordan Love leads the league in passing yards (2,246) and touchdowns (16) despite the NFL’s worst offensive line and a meager 60.6‑yard rushing average; and LB Ty’Ron Hopper steps up as a starter, recording 27 tackles, a sack, two interceptions and a historic three‑pass‑breakup game. Conversely, rookie kicker Trey Smack struggles with an 11‑of‑16 field‑goal record, and RB Josh Jacobs underperforms, raising concerns about depth.
Green Bay Packers’ struggling ground game raises questions about a “Sustainable” offense
After a 27-19 Thursday Night Football win over the Carolina Panthers, the Green Bay Packers’ ground game remains a glaring weakness. Coach Matt LaFleur praised the defense, but analyst Marcus Spears warned that the offense’s lack of a running threat is unsustainable, especially after costly errors in a Week 7 loss to Detroit. Jordan Love’s stellar play can’t mask drops and a stagnant run attack, forcing the Panthers to rely heavily on the pass. With trade‑deadline options like Josh Jacobs under cloud due to fresh abuse allegations, the Packers must overhaul their line and ground scheme before a tougher schedule hits.
Jacob Misiorowski earns high praise from Hall of Famer and former Brewers star after World Series run
The Milwaukee Brewers clinch their first World Series title with a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, and rookie ace Jacob Misiorowski steals the spotlight. Misiorowski threw a record‑setting 103.5 mph fastball, logging more than 10 innings, one earned run, five strikeouts and two walks across the series. Hall of Fame reliever Rollie Fingers praised the 24‑year‑old, calling him “nasty” and noting his quick rise.

Milwaukee Brewers will “listen” to trade offers on All-Star pitcher this offseason
The Milwaukee Brewers, fresh off their 2026 World Series win, say they’ll consider trade offers for All-Star closer Trevor Megill, who is entering the final year of his contract in 2027. ESPN’s Jeff Passan notes the club’s habit of moving relievers before free agency, citing past moves with Josh Hader and Devin Williams. With Aaron Ashby also in the last season of his deal, a Megill trade could weaken the bullpen that helped clinch the title, though a strong offer or a new CBA could lead to a contract extension instead.

Simmons, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2021, joined fellow legends Robin Yount, Paul Molitor and Rollie Fingers for the celebration, closing a 69‑year championship drought for the city since the 1957 Braves. The parade and fan celebrations underscore the long‑awaited redemption for Milwaukee’s baseball legacy.

Jackson Chourio, the 22‑year‑old Milwaukee Brewers left fielder, makes history by winning a Gold Glove in left field and helping the Brewers clinch their first World Series title on Oct. 28, 2026. Despite missing a month with a hairline fracture, he posted a career‑best .291/.351/.487 line, 25 homers, 75 RBIs and 23 steals, becoming only the third player ever to start his career with three straight 20‑20 seasons—and the youngest to do so. Chourio also logged a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage, making him the youngest player ever to win both a Gold Glove and a World Series in the same season.
NFL expands investigation into Packers’ Josh Jacobs after three more women make allegations
The NFL widens its probe into Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs after police records reveal three more women accusing him of physical abuse dating to 2021‑2022, during his time with the Las Vegas Raiders. Jacobs, who missed six games earlier this season following a May 2026 arrest on felony strangulation charges, has been cleared to play and scored two touchdowns in a 27‑19 win over the Carolina Panthers on Oct. 29. No new criminal charges have been filed, and the Packers remain silent as the league says the new allegations will be reviewed.
Milwaukee Brewers’ Jake Bauers NSFW revelation on how team turned its season around to win World Series
Jake Bauers reveals how the Milwaukee Brewers turned a mid‑season slump into a World Series triumph, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in November 2026. After a sluggish August offense, the club “chilled out” and found its swing, with Bauers key to the late‑season surge. The win caps a dramatic playoff run that included a NLCS victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now a free agent, Bauers hints he’d rather stay in Milwaukee, while manager Pat Murphy teases his potential departure.

Jenkins says Trent is staying ready and that his debut will come soon, while recent wins have featured contributions from rookies Brayden Burries and Nate Ament.

Green Bay Packers: attorneys for Josh Jacobs release statement after 3 additional accusations of domestic violence surface
The Green Bay Packers continue to back Pro Bowl running back Josh Jacobs despite new revelations of three additional domestic‑violence accusations, the oldest dating back to 2021. Jacobs pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges in September and spent six weeks on the commissioner’s exempt list. Lawyers argue the claims are uncorroborated and cite the Brown County DA’s investigation that resulted in only two charges. The NFL has added the new allegations to its ongoing probe, while the Packers weigh their next steps.
Milwaukee Brewers: 1 World Series pitcher has already decided not to return next season

Green Bay Packers: NFL releases statement after 3 more Josh Jacobs accusations surface
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has defended Pro Bowl RB Josh Jacobs despite his May domestic‑violence arrest and a September no‑contest plea. New case files now allege violence by three additional women, prompting the NFL to extend its investigation. Jacobs spent the first six weeks of the 2026 season on the commissioner’s exempt list; any eventual suspension will count those games against the penalty, though he must repay his exempt‑list pay. Since returning, he averages just 2.3 yards per carry and the Packers sit last in the league at 60.6 rushing yards per game.
Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love is having an MVP-caliber season despite horrid offensive deficiencies
The Green Bay Packers sit 5-3 after a 27-19 win over the Carolina Panthers, and quarterback Jordan Love is emerging as a surprise MVP candidate. Love already leads the NFL in passing yards (2,246), touchdowns (16), attempts (312) and completions (196) despite a league‑worst offensive line that gives him just 2.48 seconds to throw and a run game that ranks dead last. His 61.5% completion rate is hampered by 18 drops by his receivers; with fewer drops, his accuracy would jump into the top ten. Accounting for 82% of the Packers’ offensive yards, Love’s performance is keeping the team in the NFC North playoff mix, even as the defense tops the league in sacks and takeaways.
Green Bay Packers reveal target date for Micah Parsons return from ACL injury
The Packers sit 5-3 after a 27-19 win over the Panthers, with Jordan Love playing MVP‑caliber despite drops and line issues. Their defense, ranked ninth overall, leads the league in sacks (22) and takeaways (15) even without star pass rusher Micah Parsons. ESPN reports the team is targeting the Thanksgiving Eve matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 25 (Week 12) for Parsons' return, after he cleared his latest rehab markers. Parsons posted 12.5 sacks in 2025, and his comeback could boost an already dominant unit for the final stretch of the season.
Green Bay Packers show interest in Jonathan Taylor amid 3 more Josh Jacobs allegations
The Packers rank last in the NFL with just 60.6 rushing yards per game, even after Josh Jacobs returned from a six‑game suspension tied to domestic‑violence allegations. New documents allege three additional women have accused Jacobs of abuse, prompting Green Bay to explore a trade for Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor. Taylor, a three‑time Pro Bowler, leads the league with eight rushing touchdowns and sits fifth in yards (587). While adding Taylor could boost the Packers’ image and give them a stronger backfield, analysts warn it won’t solve the team’s underlying offensive‑line problems.
