Back from a vacation and calling out the "fake outrage" radio crowd on the Badgers NFL Draft failures. WHAT? ... we needed that to confirm what we already knew?  Colten Bartholomew of the Wisconsin State Journal shared what's to like, and what to worry about after Spring Football at The UW.  Why the Brewers story so far is impressive...and the Packers are still a SB contender.
