September 10, 2020 Rick Solem

A year ago, rumors swirled that the Milwaukee Bucks might try and go after Chris Paul from the Houston Rockets. A year ago is when the Bucks should have gone after Chris Paul.

September 10, 2020 Rick Solem

For about an hour, the Milwaukee Brewers were the talk of Major League Baseball. They put up 19 runs on the Detroit Tigers in a shutout victory on the road. Then, the Atlanta Braves said, “Hold my beer,” and beat the Miami Marlins 29-9. (Though with no fans, there probably are no concessions.) Did anyone […]

Heading into Game 5 between the Milwaukee Bucks-Miami Heat, the Ringer published an article on how Giannis Antetokounmpo needs to demand more of the organization or force his way out.

September 8, 2020 Rick Solem

It’ll likely be a game-time decision Tuesday, whether reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo will suit up and help keep the Milwaukee Bucks’ season alive. The worry for the Bucks, at this point, may not be so much if the team can pull off somewhat of a miracle and come back against the Miami Heat, down 3-1. […]

MINNEAPOLIS — Milwaukee Brewers fans in Minnesota appear to be more dedicated than their Twins counterparts. Sure, it’s a pandemic and there can be no fans in attendance … at the stadium, but nobody said anything about spying a game from the top of a parking ramp — on a man lift. With the Brewers […]
