Smarter social-media savvy folks told me for yrs. to leave this platform. John Oliver's recent expose (prior post) did the trick. Please join me via Facebook or Substack where I find that participation happens without needing to shower while fully clothed afterward. #johnoliver

This third period of US/Canada gold medal Olympic hockey looks to be one for the ages. The sport at its best: fast, ferocious, occasionally feisty. You're gonna wanna say you were watching as it happened, if you aren't already. #USAHockey

The @Bucks get off to a 12-0 lead today in Boston but lose their 8th in 9 tries. They still remain the talk of the @NBA. Trade Giannis? Deal others & if so, who? Tank the rest of the season? A forgettable campaign so far enters what could be a franchise-altering week. #Bucks

NFL Hall of Fame voters have just done the unbelievable. They've made football fans feel sorry for Bill Belichick.

Goodbye for now to another @Brewers free agent in waiting and hopefully to an @MLB system that allows it to keep happening. #Brewers #MLB open.substack.com/pub/genemu…

The free-spending Dodgers are MLB baseball’s bad guys—at least to anyone outside of L-A. Can the game’s stewards do what it takes to even the financial playing field before fans bail? @MLB #mlb genemueller.substack.com/p/p…

In his 24th season on the sidelines, Milwaukee head coach Bart Lundy becomes only the 22nd active NCAA coach to reach 500 career wins, at all levels. He has done so winning at a .678 clip – with a short list of around only 40 coaches all-time reaching that plateau. Bart Lundy can coach this game. @MKE_MBB

Resisted the urge to digitally purge right after last night’s Packers loss. Waited until Sunday morning to put some thoughts down. As always, it’s great to hear what you think—agree or not. It’s how we cope. open.substack.com/pub/genemu…

Not the most romantic Xmas gift I've given my wife but one that's certainly appreciated by the recipient: a @MilwaukeeTool sawzall w/ battery plus blades capable of felling not only pesky backyard buckthorn but also a Sequoia should one pop up in what she deems the wrong spot.

Actor Peter Greene has left our mortal coil at the way-too-early age of 60. Or, if you’re a “Pulp Fiction” fan, Zed’s dead, baby…youtu.be/5lL1ypndnWA?si=Kzux…

No one rocks a red & white striped sweater better! Learn all you need to know and more about Buckingham Badger tonight at seven on PBS Wisconsin. “Bucky” details the origins of UW’s beloved mascot. youtu.be/yiJE6AguNSA

Like its predecessors, the latest Milwaukee freeway debate is steeped in doom/gloom predictions, promises of economic benefit, & lots of conflicting studies. As usual, the truth is in there somewhere, just not exclusively on one side or the other. open.substack.com/pub/genemu…

Coincidence? Kismet? We planned pancakes (wife’s special pumpkin variety, served w/family farm syrup sans pockets) for breakfast tomorrow morning) BEFORE realizing #MLB was naming its 2025 Manager Of The Year tonight. Congrats Pat Murphy! Here’s to a three-peat!
