The event was truly one to remember for Green Bay Packers fans in attendance and we at Acme Packing Company will have a couple of draft diaries coming in the next few days to go over our experiences over that fantastic weekend Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy deserves more credit for bringing the draft to Green Bay than anyone else and it’s only fitting that he get a chance to give his perspective on the event in which he thanked the Packers’ fantastic fan base for the support and for showing up to make the weekend a truly special event as practices got underway over the weekend with rookie minicamp so it’s right back to work for the coaching staff Let’s look back at a few notes from rookie camp as we start looking ahead to more on-field work coming up in a few weeks MT5: Packers fans made NFL Draft in Green Bay truly special | Packers.comFollowing the capstone event on his career as team president Murphy expressed his gratitude to Packers fans and his appreciation that they knew exactly what was coming after he said "for the first time since 2002..." Shedeur Sanders, Matthew Golden and every team’s best value pick from the 2025 NFL Draft - The Athletic ($)The name that Murphy announced after that intro was also arguably the team's best value pick though I still think that getting Barryn Sorrell in the 4th round was an absolute steal Dream comes true: Savion Williams wanted to get picked by Packers | Packers WireThe third-round receiver said that he fell in love with the small-town nature of Green Bay when he came in for a visit and that the Packers were the team he was most hoping to go to Packers' newcomers hit the field for rookie minicamp Saturday, May 3 | Packersnews.comOver the weekend and the rest of the rookie crew took to the field at the Don Hutson Center for the first time Packers Hint at ‘Vision’ for Former Top-10 Pick Isaiah Simmons | SI.comA former teammate of Xavier McKinney Simmons got a full-throated endorsement from the All-Pro before the Packers signed him “I wanted to punch her in the face, but I pooped on her car instead and went home”: PA woman arrested after viral road rage incident | WTFR.comAh yes MILWAUKEE -- Brewers manager Pat Murphy thinks something is missing from his team's usual identity as Milwaukee staggers through the first quarter of the season "It seems like we've misplaced our edge a little bit," Murphy said after a 6-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday that dropped the Brewers two games below .500 Milwaukee went 21 innings without scoring before breaking through in the third Saturday The back-to-back home losses to Chicago have dropped the Brewers five games behind the first-place Cubs in the NL Central standings "They're tremendous," Murphy said of the Cubs "Look at what they did against some of the best teams in the league and how they manhandled us both games The slow start follows a 2024 season in which Milwaukee took over first place for good by the end of April to win its second straight division title That Brewers team prided itself on rarely getting blown out as most of its losses went down to the wire Milwaukee already has lost seven games this season by at least five runs The Brewers are 0-12 when their opponent scores first making them the only major league club without a win in such situations And the past two nights have shown how far the Brewers are from the Cubs at least at this early stage of the season Injuries to the pitching staff have caused many of Milwaukee's issues The Brewers knew they would be opening the season without two-time All-Star Brandon Woodruff and Robert Gasser, but Aaron Civale, Aaron Ashby, DL Hall and Nestor Cortes also are on the injured list. Tobias Myers who went 9-6 with a 3.00 ERA as a rookie last year Woodruff is expected to return after making a couple more rehabilitation appearances in the minors All those injuries to starters have taxed Milwaukee's relievers. The Brewers entered Saturday with a 5.14 bullpen ERA that ranked 28th in the majors, ahead of only the Los Angeles Angels and Washington Milwaukee had a 3.11 bullpen ERA that ranked second in the majors behind Cleveland Milwaukee remains confident it will come around "Luckily, this is early still," first baseman Rhys Hoskins said "I don't want to just fall into that because at some point it's not early But we have a lot of baseball to be played and I think because of the talent in this room there's no reason why we won't find ourselves where we want to be come the end of summer." Murphy remains confident as well and says he still has high hopes for this team He said teams do lose their edge at some point in every season and noted that even happened late last year during the Brewers' run to a division title I'm just a little shocked that we've misplaced that edge a little bit."

Cubs manager Craig Counsell and Brewers manager Pat Murphy don’t talk to each other as much as they used to when they shared a dugout as skipper and bench coach in Milwaukee “I don’t sit next to him for multiple hours in a day,” Counsell quipped before the game between their teams Their decadeslong friendship — they’ve known each other since Murphy coached Counsell in college at Notre Dame — is in a new stage “It’s changed in that we’re competitors instead of teammates,” Counsell said It’s stayed the same in that when we’re off game time The series between the Cubs and Brewers at American Family Field this weekend will be the first three games of 13 between the National League Central foes And it’s the second year that Counsell and Murphy are division rivals They met at home plate to exchange lineup cards before the game Friday to kick off the series — after Brewers fans welcomed Counsell with a cascade of boos Murphy won the battle for the division handily last season The Brewers put 10 games between themselves and second place which was shared by the Cubs and Cardinals The Cubs entered this series atop the division with a 19-13 record “I’m happy for his success; that’s first and foremost,” Counsell said “You’re happy when your friend has tremendous success and his wins don’t always bode well for me or us The Brewers changed their pitching plan — a move Counsell said he was made aware of the morning before the night game Instead of having right-hander Quinn Priester start as originally planned they had left-hander Tyler Alexander face the top of the order as the opener “I think they see it as the best way to navigate 27 outs,” Counsell said Alexander allowed three singles — to Ian Happ Kyle Tucker and Carson Kelly — and handed the ball to Priester with two outs in the first inning Alexander was charged with a second run when Nico Hoerner drove in an inherited runner Counsell isn’t the only one with ties to the Brewers Colin Rea and Drew Pomeranz pitched for Milwaukee Counsell hired Quintin Berry away from the Brewers to serve as the Cubs’ third-base coach “Quintin’s passionate about baserunning,” Counsell said “And [along with first-base coach] Jose Javier our two base coaches have done a really nice job He’s passionate about baserunning; he [has a strong belief] about things to do as baserunners And we have a team that’s really interested in being good at it So it’s been a great match from that perspective And we’ve really focused on some details of it and trying to be great at the small things because it fits our group The Cubs entered

Ossai was eligible for free agency this offseason but chose to re-sign with the Bengals on a one-year "It made the most sense," said Ossai I'd rather do it here with a team that has so much potential and a team that has a lot of upside I'm focusing on being in the best shape I can be to hit the ground running." That's exactly what Murphy is doing as part of his multi-phase process to attack this offseason differently than did coming out of college and after his first NFL season Something certainly had to change as Murphy didn't record a single sack last season despite playing on 40 percent of the defensive snaps and recording 3.0 sacks as a rookie in 28 percent of the defensive snaps He changed his diet that has helped him go from 18 percent body fat and a playing weight of 280 pounds to 13 percent body fat and a current weight of 273 "It's helped a whole lot," said Murphy I feel like I'm in a great position right now I went into this offseason with a plan of knowing what I wanted to do Monday through Saturday I think it's working right now and coming to fruition Now it's just really about sticking to it." While former defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo has been blamed in some corners for Murphy's sporadic playing time hindering his development his first two seasons Murphy didn't put the blame on Anarumo "Going into the offseason I had a plan and (the diet) is Step 1 This is something I could have done better these past two years Now I'm going into Phase 2 - OTAs - and see what I can do differently than the last two years that can put me in a better position." One of the things Murphy hopes unlocks his potential is new defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery "He has a great resume at all the spots he's coached at," said Murphy "Everywhere he goes there is production Excited what he can do with me and all the D linemen It's now about refining my game all around Be in the office with Coach Montgomery and just talking with him about what he sees I watch my tape all the time and write things down about what I can improve on so I really want to get in the room with him and see from a coach's perspective with his experience what he sees and wants me to do." While the Bengals can certainly hope that Ossai's end of season production rolls over into this season and Murphy will finally unlock his potential they also added defensive end Shemar Stewart in the first round of the draft In addition to his physical traits (he had the fifth-highest athleticism score among defensive ends at the NFL Scouting Combine) as an edge rusher which is where he may move on obvious passing situations if Ossai and/or Murphy are having success at end There is also the possibility of Ossai also moving inside on passing downs which is something he has done in the past "I would recommend every D lineman plays all over the line," said Ossai "When you get inside and you don't get a one-on-one You understand collapsing the pocket does help those guys step up and get to the quarterback It makes you appreciate the game a lot more It makes you appreciate your teammates next to you Personally I think it makes you be a better player I think a lot of the guys in that room are able to rush all over the line I think it's going to be exciting when it comes time to making that third down package to mix and match and see who fits where and where certain guys are better to create a really a good rush package Tim Herrington and twins Carter and Ethan Murphy all share something in common on the Southeast baseball team Herrington committed to NCAA Division II University of Illinois Springfield in April while the Murphys will pitch at NJCAA Division II East Central College in Missouri A new age: What to know about the $13.3 million improvements at Southeast’s Spartan Field Baseball preview: Here are 32 area baseball players to watch in the 2025 high school season They prove that athletes at Southeast can excel in other sports besides basketball “We’ve got quality players over here every year,” said Southeast coach Tim Rhodes previously an assistant under Brad Leininger “It’s just a tough conference (in the Central State Eight) and we get overlooked a lot But we do have college players over here all the time.”  Herrington has championed baseball from the beginning That passion for the game only swelled further under coach Brady Burk on the Lincoln Magnet co-op baseball team where he played with former high school standouts Jack Swaney “He taught me a lot and showed me a lot of baseball,” said Herrington of Burk “I felt like he showed me how to play at a high level I think that’s what kind of sparked me to keep wanting to play Team 186: Why the Springfield HS softball co-op with Lanphier and Southeast offers a bright future ‘Glory over pain’: How this pitcher embodies toughness for Auburn/Lutheran softball Herrington reached the Illinois Elementary School Association Class 3A state finals in seventh grade before the COVID-19 pandemic uprooted the following season 'I’ve got to keep on going,'” Herrington said “I came to Southeast and same mindset here “I feel like if you start playing more at a younger age we’d get way more Black people to continue playing,” Herrington reflected they know how to shoot a basketball and they know how to throw a football “I feel like if you got more young Black people to play at a young age they’ll carry it out and carry it to every single sport they also play.”  Herrington immediately stood out to Rhodes upon arrival “From the day he stepped foot on our field as a freshman I think he played maybe two games in JV and then we were like 'He’s got to be up here,'” Rhodes recalled “He hit a home run in a big game against Lanphier when we were tied ‘This kid is going to be special,’ and he’s done everything that’s been asked of him and then some and he just continues to get better.”  Herrington made the most out of the opportunity He increased his explosiveness in the weight room and pried as much as he could from coaches after every practice I’d try to practice as long as possible,” Herrington said On the mend: How this Chatham Glenwood track star, Illini recruit is forging ahead after knee surgery Track and field preview: Here are the top 30-plus track and field athletes around Springfield this outdoor season Herrington not only brings a burst of speed but Rhodes also raved about

try to get to every ball that I can,” Herrington said “I still got to lift a little bit more and get stronger so I can make some of those farther throws but I think speed can carry you a long way It’s hardly any mystery why Carter and Ethan Murphy started out playing soccer is the Southeast boys and girls soccer coach but he also believes in the benefits of being a multi-sport athlete The twins eventually gravitated more toward baseball “I watch (baseball) all day and I just love putting in the extra work for it so it’s something that I want to do in my future,” Carter said the other is catching — at least during the school season they continue to play on the same travel team they visited the Maximized Pitching Lab in Wood River together as well That doesn’t include their time together in soccer Ethan raked in all-sectional honors as a goalkeeper by the Illinois High School Soccer Association this past fall while Carter was honorable mention as a midfielder “It helps not only having somebody else motivate you but also just being there to help you out,” Ethan said That extends to their less experienced teammates “The best way to handle that is if you see something don’t be afraid to help them out,” Ethan said “Just letting them make mistake after mistake .. that’s just not being a very good teammate if you can help and give them the right answer.”  Ethan said if more players devote more time individually toward training then the program could reach another notch Rhodes also coaches the Jefferson and Washington middle school baseball co-op He hopes that can foster a flourishing baseball culture at Southeast He ultimately echoed much the same sentiment as Herrington — the earlier “We were missing that feeder program for a long time,” Rhodes said “I’m now entering my fifth year as a middle school coach that’s when I think we’ll start to see a difference.” Momentum82.77Growth29.88Quality78.12Value18.16Price TrendShortMediumLongOverviewMurphy USA MUSA

Crow-Armstrong has gone deep nine times with 26 RBIs and an .867 OPS over 35 games for the NL Central-leading Cubs The 23-year-old has accumulated the third-most fWAR (2.1) in the majors this season thanks to his strong offensive and defensive play He ranks in the 100th percentile in outs above average The acquisition of All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker - presumably the large-footed player described by Murphy - has also played a significant role in Chicago's MLB-best run differential (plus 62) The team has scored the most runs (208) and swatted the third-most homers (52) 'He's a great competitor': Murphy backs Priester after rough startMay 3rd MILWAUKEE -- Right-hander had initially been the Brewers’ probable starter to open the weekend series against the Cubs That’s not how it ultimately went down Friday night at American Family Field Milwaukee announced left-hander Tyler Alexander as the starter (in the role of an opener) as the team informed Chicago well in advance about the change Manager Pat Murphy noted pregame that hitters at the top of the Cubs’ order are no slouches against lefties but he still went with Alexander to open — which brought outcomes like left fielder Ian Happ (a switch-hitter) hitting right-handed in his first at-bat and right fielder Kyle Tucker starting with a left-on-left matchup A big part of the thinking behind using the opener was essentially to give the top of Chicago’s lineup one less look at Priester It was a way to help protect the 24-year-old But the result didn’t turn out the way Murphy hoped Alexander exited with two outs in the first, after he’d already given up a run and left runners at the corners. Priester came in and let a second run score on an RBI single, and then an inning later, he gave up seven en route to a 10-0 Brewers loss “A combination of making bad pitches with two strikes and walking guys,” Priester said of his second-inning issues “I think we probably would've had a better result if we did one of those things -- made better pitches with two strikes or limited those walks to force me to make pitches that I just straight up didn't end up making.” Priester faced all nine batters (shortstop Dansby Swanson twice); all but one reached base Most of the traffic came on singles (three) and walks (two) but a grand slam from Cubs first baseman Michael Busch and a solo homer from center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong broke the game open really poor second inning.” Nobody would argue against that But Murphy found some positives in what Priester did the rest of his outing He struck out four over his last three scoreless innings giving up just two walks and retiring the last seven batters he faced The second inning can’t just be pushed aside “A little bit of good doesn't make up for the bad.” Murphy felt it was positive to see him grind out a few more frames after that second And he did it without needing to face the heart of the order a third time “You can say Priester was awful if you want to but there's some signs that you can see why we [traded for] him,” Murphy said “There's some signs there that show the kid's got really good stuff Milwaukee acquired Priester from Boston via trade April 7 That came the day after the Brewers placed left-hander Nestor Cortes on the injured list leaving righty Freddy Peralta as the lone healthy arm expected to be in the rotation at the start of Spring Training hasn’t found a high level of success so far in parts of three Major League seasons His season ERA is 5.79 and his career ERA is 6.15 thanks to seven earned runs over 4 1/3 innings Friday Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball. The Brewers could possibly send him down, considering he does have Minor League options left. That would be a much easier call, though, if they had more rotation options available. Talking about Priester before the game, Murphy was frank in saying, “He’s not a finished product. He's got a ways to go.” Whether getting there continues with Milwaukee or in the Minors, it seems Murphy still believes in Priester. “You got to learn from your mistakes,” Murphy said. “You have to brush up on things that are getting you in trouble. If you're getting behind in the count a lot, or your secondary stuff is inconsistent, or if your third pitch needs a little more polish, or you need to learn to hold runners. These are all things he's in the middle of. “He's going to be a great one, I think. I really do. I love the kid and I love the competitor. I think he's going to be really good.” WHEELING — Triadelphia Middle School eighth grader Sadie Murphy enjoyed a birthday surprise Friday morning — sort of. It wasn’t her birthday, but Belmont Savings Bank surprised her by announcing that her design will be used for the bank’s upcoming 140th birthday cards. Bank representatives were at Triadelphia Middle on Friday morning to unveil the winning middle school artist design for Belmont Savings’ birthday card. The winning design among high school entries will be announced later. “I was really surprised and really excited, too,” Murphy said. “It’s something I really enjoyed doing.” Murphy’s design, created with colored pencils and shading pencils, depicts a huge blue and yellow birthday cake with balloons surrounding it and the Belmont Savings Bank logo adorning the top. Murphy said she worked through multiple options before she landed on the one that eventually won. “It went through three, and the third one was my favorite,” she said. Belmont Saving Bank President Todd Cover said the selection committee fielded 55 entries from 12 local middle schools. The group whittled the lineup to three finalists, then ultimately picked Murphy’s as the winner. “It just encapsulated everything we wanted a birthday celebration to be,” Cover said. “It’s just a fun picture.” Murphy’s art teacher at TMS, Cynthia Stahanczyk, said it has been a joy to watch Murphy grow as an artist while at Triadelphia. “Sadie is such a wonderful student, both academically and artistically,” she said. “It’s been a pleasure to have her in class and watch her grow in her abilities. Along the way, I’ve just tried to foster her and nurture her abilities the best I can, and she puts so much time into her art. It’s just a winning combination.” Today's breaking news and more in your inbox WOODSFIELD — Local community members can participate in a spring car show while helping to raise funds for two ...

We would be much better off with one airport between Green Bay and Appleton rather than having both airports compete with each other I know people would gladly drive 15 more minutes to go to a centralized airport to have many more flight options the airports in Green Bay and Appleton should coordinate with each other I recently had a league meeting in Atlanta at 2 p.m The direct flight to Atlanta was at 5:15 a.m That would require me getting up at 3:45 a.m so I checked Appleton's flights to Atlanta – the only morning flight was at 5:20 a.m These travelling issues do not really affect our team travel since we fly charter it does present issues as it does for everyone living in Northeast Wisconsin Thanks for being a great leader of the Pack and have a great retirement My question is: Why is illegal hands to the face and face mask grasping a penalty no matter the player but "stiff arm" by a ball carrier is not a penalty The stiff arm is impeding the defender and could cause injury Because the league likes high-scoring games and always favors the offense it only seems that way to us old defensive players it is a penalty if a runner stiff arms a tackler and grabs the face mask Let me start by thanking you for a fantastic career with our beloved Packers After your football career did you ever think you would go on to be the CEO for as many years as you've been are you related to the former Washington punter of the same name I never thought I would go on to be president of an NFL team (let alone for 17 years) I was very involved with the NFLPA (as the Washington player rep vice president of the union and later as an employee) and was viewed as a radical I was involved in two strikes – one as a player and one as an NFLPA employee make a connection during that time period that helped me later Paul Tagliabue was an attorney for the league and a Washington season ticketholder he contacted me (I was AD at Colgate at the time) and asked me to serve on a committee he established on player relations I know that he was helpful in my being offered the job I learned a valuable lesson – don't burn bridges This was also one of my father's (Big Murph) "pearls of wisdom."

So, in the wake of Thursday’s wrenching, 6-5 loss at Oracle Park the second time in the first 26 games of this season that the Brewers have collectively given a game away he decided it was a good time to have a group chat He kept the clubhouse doors closed after the game for 30 minutes to unpack what unfolded over the past four days and to reinforce what kind of unit the scrappy stingy-pitching Brewers want to be -- will need to be -- over the next five months to earn another berth in the postseason Maybe I need to give more love and we need to have more discipline This team can’t be an elite team unless we play a little bit ‘uncommon.’ Unless we have an edge like you saw a lot of last year -- not all of last year but you saw it a lot -- we can’t compete the way we want to compete unless we have that.” They did not have that edge this week while dropping three of four games against the Giants and they certainly did not have it on Thursday when baserunning errors stymied scoring chances early and late defensive mistakes or missed opportunities helped the Giants take the lead in the eighth inning of a Brewers loss that dropped them back to .500 at 13-13 Here are some of the things Murphy didn’t like: • Brewers starter walked four batters in his four innings while making his first start off the injured list • The Brewers scored one run in the first inning but could have had more. ran into a double play on the basepaths when he tried for a stolen base but lost ’s sacrifice fly to center field • Later in that same inning with runners at the corners, produced a rally-killing final out when he pushed a bunt to first base instead of third • In the eighth, after allowed a leadoff walk and a Wilmer Flores’ single to put runners at the corners, the Brewers briefly froze the tying runner at third on a bouncer to third baseman who did a good job of checking the lead runner Capra might have gone to second base for the one out on the play he went to first and the go-ahead runner moved into scoring position • Then, the Brewers appeared well-positioned to cut down that tying runner at home plate when Mike Yastrzemski hit a soft bouncer to second base with the infield pulled in. In hindsight, said he could have charged through the bouncing ball and thrown home • The Giants then took the lead when Yelich misplayed Willy Adames’ line-drive sacrifice fly That run probably would have scored even if Yelich had made a clean catch but it was an ugly end to an ugly week for the Brewers you know you made a mistake and you need to be better,” Yelich said “But just to address it and make sure it’s not something that keeps spiraling is a good thing.” “We obviously didn’t play well these four days The purpose of the postgame discussion was to find that path it was meant to be awareness and a talk about responsibilities,” Murphy said “But you don’t join the Brewers and just show up and say we don’t have a power-hitting third baseman.’ When you join the Brewers you join knowing that if we’re going to win you’re going to have to play a certain way We just have to get everybody to understand that.” An official website of the United States government Our hospital
