    He managed in Boston. The Peter Gammons "everyone from Boston is awesome" coefficient is still at play.

    The only problem I have with Giannis is playing with Greece during the offseason. He is fighting injuries, so take a year off. You aren't getting any younger, Giannis. I'm not sure he is expecting a hero's welcome. What we do see is every NBA "reporter" with a speculation on where he is going to go. We all know that everyone wants (and has wanted for years) Giannis out of Milwaukee. I mean, Milwaukee is a two-bit, small time town, right? Usually the narrative is, "I heard from an NBA Executive..." He has been asked about it for years and he is supposed to just keep blowing it off? If he says nothing, he is going to let the rumor mill run wild. If he says something, then he is trying to be self-serving. The "press" is trying to sell papers (sorry, a better term is to "get clicks."). My opinion is that he wants to be in Milwaukee. However, if Milwaukee wants to trade him, he will be disappointed, but there is nothing that he can do about it. The guy has cared and has always cared about his craft, his teammates, and the Bucks. Unfortunately, he is damned if he says anything, and damned if he doesn't.

    Is it because when he gets his 5 o'clock shadow, he looks like Joey Votto? I swear that he looks more like Votto when I'm watching on TV. It's probably just me... 😉 Maybe I have been secretly influenced by Rorschach (the inkblot test guy).

    My daughter got 5g in a well-populated Milwaukee suburb. Very bad service if working from home and having any type of meetings. The hole for the fiber was maybe 1/2 inch in diameter. They used silicone to fill it, so no worries there. There is a box that has to go on the side of the house, though. That is the dmarc. I couldn't get away from that. They are going to come later to bury the line. Right now, I just have a cable running in my grass with a bunch of flags. BTW: the tech called me and said that the company that destroyed the side of my yard (many holes, rocks sticking up, water pooling where it didn't pool before, etc.) were in the neighborhood to fix damage they had done. When I walked the dogs yesterday, I saw some of their work -- it was very good. We will see what they will do with my yard.

    Fiber installed yesterday. I went from 400MB down / 10 MB up with Spectrum to 1G Up / 1G down with AT&T. Disconnected my existing Wi-Fi router and plugged it into the AT&T router. Seamless!!!!! Now I have what is equivalent to 4 VLANS. WOOT! Did I mention that after the promos are over, I will be paying $10/month less for 1G fiber than I was with Spectrum. Funny story -- I call to cancel my Spectrum service. They said, "You have been a customer for 27 years. Why are you cancelling?" I said I work from home and there would be random outages at all times of the day. That, and the price was better. Really the main reason was the lack of reliability with Spectrum. She started talking and then the call was dropped. I guess it isn't only their internet service that drops at random.

    Ortiz will be traded for a closer and/or a quality setup guy. I have a weird feeling...

    We have the MLB.TV app loaded on our Samsung Smart TV. I wish we could click it 12 times like we did with Fubo. Now, we have to click it once and wait for it to go a little more than 2 minutes. I do wish that there was a way to skip to the next inning easily. So, if I am watching the game from the start, I want to easily go to the first pitch. Also, I still don't see exit velocities. Sad Samurai...

    ... but it is Deloitte. Oof. EY, maybe, but Deloitte? 😉

    Unfortunately, I don't think it is over.

    I work from home and frequently need to push web application deployments to our IaaS in the cloud. The 10MB upload speed is very slow. So, I'll go from 500 down / 10 up to 1G up / down asynchronous. It will be cheaper even after the 1-year incentive comes off the books. It seems too good to be true. Minecraft server in the works? 😄

    I want nothing to do with Hurley. I understand being demonstrative, but Hurley goes well over the top.

    Doc Rivers out as coach
  14. Samurai Bucky
    Wisconsin needs a Chancellor, President, and Athletic department. Huge decisions to be made.

    I wish Bucky would have tried to camp out front a little more to shield the view of the goalie. Denver's goalie was lights out. It was great to see Bucky back in the championship again. Thank you Coach Hastings!

    I know somebody who is closer than I am regarding solar -- especially solar farms. He said, for example, once the solar arrays aren't viable anymore, the electric company would come and take out the solar panels and nothing else. Any concrete, posts, etc. would stay. There are an increasing amount of farmers that are electing to install solar farms. I'm sure it will be a decade or so until this is proven to be true or not. Here is a link to a 1,000 acre farm in Sheboygan county. https://www.alliantenergy.com/our-energy/solar/wisconsin-solar/onion-river-solar-project

    1G Fiber being installed in 2 weeks. Finally. Will run over and cancel Spectrum right away, but will probably end up eating a month's worth. The AT&T contractor destroyed my hard to put in the cable runs and to park their equipment over the winter. The sales person said to talk to the installers since they will be running the fiber underground from the pop in my yard. If that doesn't get resolved, then I'll post on the "What's Bugging You" topic. 😄

    I checked out the life feed and I had to refresh the page. I couldn't believe they only gave up four shots. https://www.ncaa.com/game/6538230/team-stats

    AI sure is fun!!!!

    The ball was, what, 1" inside? I couldn't find a better picture than this. I have a feeling we will see Gary Sanchez at first base today. If Wilson goes off, Sanchez will make sure things are kept under control... if you know what I mean.

    I think I root for them because I went to school there, was in the band, blah blah blah. Maybe I should have gone to a school like Cardinal Stritch. ... wait a minute... 😜

    Do they have any more brothers? Then it might be like the Antetokounmpo brothers with Milwaukee!

    It looks like there are 7 hard commits to the '27 class so far. All from Wisconsin. The '26 class (according to 24/7) of Enrollees or LOI signees has 15. Only one from Wisconsin. Perhaps Fickell has had a change of heart about Wisconsin kids all of a sudden. Hmmm....

    "Chicks [and Fantasy Baseball Players] dig the long ball." I recall looking at a defensive stat (I think it was Defensive Runs Saved) and towards the end of the year, Ortiz had a negative number. Anyone who watched the games realized that something was off. I checked two sites for something related to that stat. First, there is Fangraphs. Joey's placed 16th out of 117 possible candidates last year. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=y&type=1&season=2025&month=0&season1=2025&ind=0&team=0&pagenum=1&pageitems=2000000000 The other is Baseball Savant. He placed 23rd out of 299 possible. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/fielding-run-value?gameType=Regular&seasonStart=2025&seasonEnd=2025&type=fielder&position=0&minInnings=q&minResults=1 I hope he continues to hit and get on base. That would make him a complete player.
