Reply to "Bucks versus Nets - Eastern Conference Semifinals"

I'm sorry. I'm just pissed. I'm blowing off a bit of steam, and probably not thinking too clearly.

When the Bucks slink off the court after game 5, because somehow, the basketball gods will toss betters a cookie, we'll have Packers camp, and all the bullshit with Aaron Rodgers, and the Brewers with their historically inept offense, to look forward to. Yet still, I'm a fan. I have to believe that in the end, something good will happen. Because I'm a sucker.

I try to be a glass half full guy. Instead of saying, "we've had two of the greatest quarterbacks-the hardest position in professional sports to fill- in NFL history under center for three decades, and have only three Super Bowl appearances, and two wins, to show for it." I try to say,"hey, I've seen my team win the trophy named after our greatest coach twice in my lifetime." I don't look at our utter collapses three years in a row. I think that we've got a dominant big man, and at least one star complimentary piece in Jrue Holiday. Some wunderkin Head Coach is going to want to come here, coach these guys, and play games in this beautiful new facility, in front of a passionate fan base just thirsting for an NBA title. Whatever HC comes into Milwaukee, and gets us a parade down Wisconsin avenue, is going to eat for free the rest of his life.

I hear you. But I turn 70 this year and I’ve seen:

-4 Super bowl wins for the Packers

-7 championships for the Pack

-1 championship for the Bucks with Kareem aka Alcindor

-1 World Series championship for the Milwaukee Braves

But I’ve gotta be honest, I am really, really getting tired of watching the Bucks go nowhere.
