The Wisconsin Badgers are circling the wagons around head basketball coach Greg Gard.
Gard and the program have been under serious fire all day Tuesday after the Wisconsin State Journal revealed secretly recorded audio showed several seniors airing grievances with the face of the basketball program.
Multiple players complained about Gard’s attitude towards players and their belief that he didn’t care about them. Personally, it sounded like a lot of complaining, but it’s still been an ugly day for the team.
The #Badgers seniors asked for a meeting with Greg Gard in mid-February. It lasted 2 hours and a 37-minute portion was recorded and shared. The story: https://t.co/XLwc4ddfKi
Brett Favre, former Green Bay Packers quarterback, speaks during the retirement ceremony for his #4 jersey at Lambeau Field on November 26, 2015 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
GREEN BAY If there’s one person who can relate to the ongoing dispute between the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers, it’s Brett Favre.
The Hall of Fame quarterback found himself in a similar dispute with the team in 2008, after he had announced his retirement following the 2007 season, only to change his mind. By then, the team had already decided it was moving on to hand the reins over to Rodgers.
“It’s similar but different,” Favre said during a radio interview with the “Wilde & Tausch” show, noting that the Packers, then run by the late Ted Thompson, were willing to trade him, but the current front office does not want to trade Rodgers.
