Williams gets the start 
for Packers in Harris' absence
Reds' Chapman hits 103 mph, gets 6-1 win
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Tramon Williams isn't just the good-natured, eager-to-please, free-agent nickel back from Louisiana Tech any longer. Now that Al Harris officially has been ruled out of the Green Bay Packers' first six regular-season games, Williams officially is the starting right cornerback. CINCINNATI - No. 1 for Aroldis Chapman. Eight and counting for his new team. The Cuban left-hander hit 103 mph on the radar gun during another sizzling inning Wednesday night, then got his first big-league win when the Cincinnati Reds rallied for a 6-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.

live on in new Big Ten
Brewers call up 
twice-suspended Jeffress
The Big Ten's athletic directors got together on what was truly a conference call on Wednesday. The first thing Ohio State's Gene Smith did was open some accompanying e-mails that listed proposed Buckeyes football schedules for 2011 and 2012. CINCINNATI - 
The Milwaukee Brewers have called up right-hander Jeremy Jeffress, their top pick in the 2006 amateur draft who has been suspended twice for violating Major League Baseball's drug policy.

Today's Feature


Aaron Rodgers shines for post-Favre Packers
There was no easy way for the Green Bay Packers to dump Brett Favre. You toss an icon to the curb — even if he's enabling the process with wishy-washy retirement flirtation you will incur fan wrath.

RECENT FEATURES

Game changer
As hot as Milwaukee Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings has been on the basketball court, that’s how cold he has been off of it. That should not come as much of a surprise since Wisconsin winters can be harder to adjust to than life in the NBA for native Californians.

Fast Track
Figure skaters, fitness runners, hockey players and even hockey parents who populate the Pettit National Ice Center have seen them cranking out laps on the 400-meter oval. They are the world-class speed skaters who call the place home.

Livin' the life
Catherine Raney Norman doesn’t do things halfway. Where some young teenagers might stick a toe into the waters of a new sport, she embraced the challenge and became a world-class performer.

Go for your own gold
So you’ve caught Olympic fever. That’s great, because right in our backyard are opportunities to try some of the Winter Games’ most famous and fun sports.

Perfect timing
When Milwaukee Wave coach Keith Tozer got the call in July, he thought it was a prank. The person on other end of the line said he was interested in buying the Milwaukee Wave.

Hot wheels
Competitive bike racing isn’t the race you remember from childhood between you and your brother to the end of the block on your Schwinn 10-speeds. Instead, think weaving, sprinting and attacking in a tight-knit group of riders at 35 mph on a high-performance bike.

On thick ice
When Randy Dean says "he’s on ice," he means it. As the new head of the Pettit National Ice Center in West Allis, he’s in charge of everything that hums, buzzes and blinks at the $13 million facility, in addition to promoting the place.

Tough girl
Brett Favre will always be the first athlete who sports fans in Wisconsin think of when the subject turns to toughness. Favre may be the gold standard, but West Allis Olympic gymnast Chellsie Memmel is not far behind. Memmel, 5-foot-2, 119 pounds, is grittier than the cheapest of breakfast steaks.
