The Brewers dropped their series finale to the Dodgers.  I ask, why can’t Ron Roenicke be more like Don Mattingly?

During Packers OTA’s, the offense has been running the pistol and read option.  We’ll tell you why in this segment of the WRN Sports Daily.

The Green Bay Packers signed wide receiver Alex Gillett on Wednesday.

Gillett played quarterback at Eastern Michigan but moved to wide receiver late last season.  Gillett started three games as a wide receiver, catching 14 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown.

Gillett finished his career with 4,448 passing yards for 35 touchdowns and 34 interceptions at quarterback.
