And it\u2019s hard to imagine that the Brewers will lack for local media attention once the playoffs get underway. But this is probably a good reminder that, as always, for fans and media outlets alike, nothing moves the needle like the NFL. And that\u2019s especially true when you\u2019re talking about a franchise like the Packers.<\/p>\n<p>There it is.<\/p>\n<p>\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Milwaukee Brewers are on an absolute tear right now, posting a Major League Baseball-leading 80-49 record.
