I've never loved anything as much as this Weather Channel reporter loves a solar eclipse.
I'm not trying to be 'too cool for school' guy, but my general feelings on the solar eclipse yesterday are best summed up by this Curb clip: Just not for me. If it was for you, great! I saw a lot of people taking a lot of pictures of themselves staring at the sun yesterday and it seemed like they were having a grand ol...

Wisconsin Herd arena is for sale, can Steven Seagull make a comeback??
BAH GAWD IS THAT STEVEN SEAGULL'S MUSIC???? Let's hop in the DeLorean, gun it to 88mph, and travel back to 2016: The Milwaukee Bucks are starting up their own G League franchise and attempting to select a city to play in. There were 5 cities originally in the running, and it is essentially down to 2 by the final vote: ...

New Am Fam Field parking pay format is a mess on Opening Day.
Live look at the new parking format at Am Fam Field on Opening Day yesterday: WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?? Wait.....we did. I had honestly kind of forgotten about the new procedure until I saw this tweet around noon yesterday: Legend.

Wrigley Field opening day pyrotechnics were MUST see!
Cubs' owner, Tom Ricketts, talking to Craig Counsell before the game about the fireworks display they purchased for player introductions: I mean I legitmately laughed out loud when I saw this video circulating on Twitter yesterday. Did they buy these things on Temu? Wish? Was the guy from Joe Dirt the only firework sta...

Bob Uecker will call the home opener, with his schedule TBD after that. Cherish him. Treasure him.
So let's go back to the end of the 2023 season. The Brewers once again made slamming your hand in a car door seem preferable to playoff baseball as they got swept by the Diamondbacks. The next morning, I saw this on Twitter: I wasn't listening to the radio broadcast that night so I didn't hear this in real time, but th...

BetUS is searching for a Weiner Connoissuer for the summer.
Look, I see what BetUS is trying to do here. They're appealing to the lowest common denominator. Adolescent humor. They think if they post a job searching for a, 'Weiner Connoissuer,' that bloggers and podcasters and morning radio show hosts are going to push the article out because we have underdeveloped frontal lobes...

New NFL Kickoff Rules will mimic XFL kickoffs.
Total side note, the greatest XFL innovation of all time was their version of the coin flip: Today's XFL game is brought to you by the letter, 'C,' the letter, 'T,' and the letter, 'E.' ANYWAY, the NFL owners meetings are happening this week at the finest resort in Cedar Rapids. As a part owner of the Green Bay Packers...

Gambler bets on EVERY NCAA Tournament underdog to win in the first round, is up big in each of the last two years.
*DISCLAIMER*: This is going to be a more in-depth gambling blog. If you don't follow basic gambling terminology, it may read like Latin. I saw this floating around Twitter yesterday and I've been thinking about it every single hour since I watched it. I even went back and did the research on the last two seasons, and ...

Anthony Edwards threw down a dunk last night the likes of which these eyes have never seen before.
We've been over this on the podcast before but I just want to give some context to the title of this blog: I watch a LOT of basketball. Like an unhealthy amount of basketball. Some Saturdays in the fall, I'll do play-by-play for two college basketball games in the afternoon, come home and immediately turn on college ba...

Devin Williams out for the first 3 months of the season with stress fractures in his back.
Craig Counsell when he heard that Devin Williams needed a second opinion on his ailing back: KIDDING. I'm (80%) sure that Craig Counsell isn't celebrating an injury to one of his former players. Those Counsell memes that were rampaging through Brewer/Cub Twitter last week were gold, though. Welp, not an ideal way to st...
