@BarstoolBigCat I know @BarstoolBigCat I feel you. I thought we had a dangerous team this year for Badgers. Turns out just a dangerous opening game opponent.
Hey @Avis I reserved a car in July and prepaid. Now there is a two hour wait to pickup at DEN Denver airport. This is terrible management. App does not work to select car. I’m president preferred Avis members and your customer service is terrible. What can you do to fix this?
Just in: The Milwaukee Bucks are waiving Damian Lillard and stretching the remaining $113 million on his contract in order to acquire Myles Turner, sources tell ESPN. Lillard's two seasons in Milwaukee come to an end as he rehabilitates a torn Achilles tendon.
Had to sit on that Bucks loss for a minute. Ultimately, hear me out:
Tough way to end the 2025 season. Disappointing? Without question. But context matters.
This team battled through injuries all year, tried to build chemistry after moving on from Khris and integrating Kuz, and never quite found the continuity they needed. A season that started poorly and then took an upswing ran into the realities of hoop.
Still, they made the playoffs despite all the lineup fluctuations. And there's genuine hope with some of the young talent.
The big question now: How do we elongate the Dame/Giannis window? How do we restore that championship culture that defined our 2021 run? How do we not fall into mediocrity?
Not the ending to 24-25 any Bucks fan wanted, but I've been around this game long enough to know sometimes setbacks are part of the journey.
Enjoy every single season you get to watch Giannis, Bucks Nation, and remember the grass isn’t always greener.

Rooting for Giannis Antetokounmpo has truly been the easiest thing a sports fan could ever wish for.
I am so ridiculously proud to have watched this man grow with, lift up, and win for the team that drafted him, and the city he now calls home.
A kid from nothing who came here 12 years ago. Didn’t speak the language. Didn’t have a place to stay. Didn’t have his family by his side, who he holds so uniquely close to his heart.
I know to some this may sound like overkill, but over the years, Giannis has taught me a lot about my own life. How to navigate tough times. How to prioritize what’s important. How to fight for what matters most to you and you only, no matter the cost or perception from others.
I had the chance to meet Giannis and Thanasis after a game one day in Philly. They met us in the tunnel despite the rest of the team already exiting the arena. They shook our hands. They smiled endlessly. Giannis asked me question after question about MY life. About how my friends and I met. About our goals, about our jobs. I couldn’t believe it. And the only reason he left the conversation after giving us over 10 minutes of his time? Security guards told him the bus was going to leave without them. Giannis refused. They insisted. Go figure.
For Milwaukee, 34 has been a godsend to a franchise that desperately needed something, and more importantly, someone, to root for in every sense of the word. Giannis came in and gave us all of that, and so much more.
I don’t know where things go from here. Conjecture isn’t helpful at this time. But even after a devastating loss, this guy somehow has the power to make it all have felt like a win.
Gracious in victory. Consistently humble in defeat.
The greatest Milwaukee Buck of all time.
Giannis forever.
