The NFL is asking for video evidence in the case involving Packers running back Josh Jacobs.

The league said it submitted a records request after a judge denied a motion to permanently seal video and other evidence in the case.

Jacobs pleaded no contest in two misdemeanor charges.

The NFL said the matter remains under review through its personal conduct policy.

The league has provided no timeline for a decision on Jacob's status.

He remains on the commissioner's exempt list, meaning he cannot practice or play with the Packers.

Three people have been hospitalized after a small plane crashed in the town of East Troy, southwest of Milwaukee yesterday.

East Troy police say all four people in the plane were injured, but one was treated and released at the scene.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash.

Wisconsin Rapids District 7 older person Michael Tim said he won't resign ahead of a scheduled recall election.

Petitioners alleged Tim abused his power and infringed on First Amendment rights by pressuring Hotel Mead Resorts and Conference Center management to stop selling no data center signs in July.

In a statement, Tim said he won't accept the idea that, quote, the only acceptable response to opposition is to step aside, unquote.

The recall election is set for October 27th.

The winner will serve the remainder of the term through April 2027.

The Madison Common Council is approving the city's 2027 capital budget, including funding to launch a body-worn camera program for local police officers.

Police Chief John Patterson made the technology his top priority following the deadly officer-involved shooting of Corey Ruiz earlier this summer.

Council members also debated a proposal requiring Chief Patterson to formally report on more than 300 past departmental policy recommendations dating back to 2017.

Oversight board members

members defended the chief, noting he already provides regular updates on strategic progress.

And that's your state news update.

The Brewers sweep the cards.

Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports Baseball.

The Milwaukee Brewers closed out the regular season with a six to four victory to complete a three game sweep of the St.

Louis Cardinals over the weekend.

Manager Pat Murphy named Christian Yellich

the team's captain.

It's not about rewarding him for something.

It's just making an official recognizing, you know, that he is the guy that helps enforce in the locker room the standards.

Yellich, the first brewer ever to be named team captain, asked Murphy to call Robin Yellich.

first before it was announced.

You know, I really wanted to run it by Robin first.

What he means here, what his career was, you know, I kind of see him as the captain of the Brewers.

So him and Murph talk Robin gave his blessing and after that I told Murph I'd be honored and kind of hard to put into words.

Up next, the Brewers are either going to face the Cubs or the Padres in the playoffs.

College football, the Badgers celebrating their 24 to 20 victory over Penn State, Wisconsin will host Michigan State on Saturday with Sports on Mike Clemens.

It is going to be mostly sunny today with a high in the low to mid 70s this afternoon.

Tonight partly cloudy with a low dropping into the low to mid 50s.

Tomorrow partly cloudy becoming mostly cloudy with a high in the low to mid 70s.

I'm meteorologist Sean Cable.
