SuperFan Tuesday agrees that trading Giannis is the best path for the Bucks to win again?  Which Pro-sports franchise in Wisconsin has had the best run in the 2000's or in the last decade?  It's a great discussion.

We talked fishing with Mark Osiecki www. Casting4Kids.org -he's also still bullish on the Minnesota Wild in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.  Why the Badgers picked 14th right now in the B1G is a good thing...and chirping by Cubs fans is acceptable.  Chirp away

Super-Fan Tuesday doesn't disappoint.  Sal Frelick taking on some criticism as the Brewers lose game-1 in St. Louis.  The Packers new QB2 is not new... turning 37 before the season starts...but we like it.  and the $$$ in College Basketball is enormous, as Texas Coach Sean Miller confirms.
