While a different era, Begel had no fear. His focus was not to please the players, not to get along with team owners and coaches, but to ferret out and report a story if one was there.

Heck of an original Milwaukeean. RIP Dave. 👍🎸

Bringing this account briefly out of retirement to post a tribute to former Milwaukee Journal sportswriter Dave Begel, who passed away at age 82.

He took on all the Wisconsin sports teams if they needed to be held accountable.

An excerpt:

“Begel's contentious relationship with Bart Starr while the Hall of Famer coached the Green Bay Packers became legendary….

Starr had Begel marched out of a news conference as well……he was not going to have a press conference unless (Begel) left,"

And do any of the other owners have a right to purchase more shares from a current owner, should said current owner decide to cash out.

Bucks ownership an eclectic group with addition of Junior and a 10% stake. There are now five primary owners of the team:

Wes Edens
Jamie Dinan
Jimmy Haslam
Mike Fascitelli
Junior Bridgeman

The unanswered questions are what are the percentages and who sold the 10% to Junior?

[Save Our Bucks @SaveOurBucks]

Junior Bridgeman as a question on Jeopardy.

@crkone Ironically when we launched, Dan Shafer was extremely skeptical and critical of us. But I think he later saw the light. Re his point, core Bucks fans like yourself knew the urgency. Don’t think Brewers fans think relocation is real. And the payroll disparity in MLB depressing.

We’ll have plenty of Bucks ownership discussion in the days ahead. As long as Wes, Jamie, Mike keep Feigin, Horst, Bud here, we’re good. My only concern is the long-term Nashville connection, which addressed in this piece -> https://t.co/uoR6ov8FfI

This is a catastrophic mistake.

"The Streets of Old Milwaukee" uses real objects and the histories of real people and businesses to present the city's history at scale. It has been a local touchstone for over 50 years. There is no exhibit like it. https://t.co/Bq7LYjRi9h

[Save Our Bucks @SaveOurBucks]

This tweet thread from @MKEPublicMuseum is not giving many of us confidence. The Streets of Old Milwaukee is a beloved name and exhibit for generations of Wisconsinites. We may need a “Save Our Streets” campaign.

[Milwaukee Public Museum @MKEPublicMuseum]

And yes, one of those exhibit galleries will be a highly-immersive walkthrough of Milwaukee that explores our marvelous city’s history, nature and cultures. It will not be called “Streets of Old Milwaukee” as all exhibits are getting new names.

@paulpressey25 @SaveOurBucks It really is amazing how big a part of NBA history this small market team has played since it's birth in 1968. 2 titles and quite a collection of all-time great players, coaches and personalities. 2 of the 5 greatest big men in history are franchise leading scorers.

[paulpressey25 @paulpressey25]

Ok, held back my best parade photo for tonight:

“PaulPressey25, I saved the Bucks for you!”

[paulpressey25 @paulpressey25]

Just had the greatest 15 minute experience of my life. Felt so good for Bud. He is now coach of the WORLD CHAMPION MILWAUKEE BUCKS! 🏆

[Save Our Bucks @SaveOurBucks]

It’s real Paul Henning. And you deserved to be there tonight! ❤️

[Paul Henning @brewcitypaul]

I can not believe this is real!!!!
