After 9 solid seasons
the Green Bay Packers have cut linebacker AJ Hawk.  The move frees up about $3.5 million dollars
in salary cap space for the team.  Hawk
was the 5^th overall pick in the 2006 draft out of Ohio State
and is the team’s all-time leader in tackles. 
He made the Pro Bowl in 2010.  They
also cut inside linebacker Brad Jones last week, which cleared up another $3.75
million in cap space.  

 

The Bucks blew by Philadelphia 104-88 on Wednesday night at the BMO Harris
Bradley Center.
John Henson came off the bench to score 21 while Khris Middleton added 19.  Michael Carter-Williams got the start in his
Bucks debut and scored 7 points and dished off 8 assists.  Milwaukee
heads out on a west coast road trip starting Friday night against the LA
Lakers.  You’ll hear it on KFIZ.

73-52 last night down in Indianapolis.  Luke Fischer paced the Golden Eagles with 17.
