History 101: How the Bucks have teased us in the past
The Bucks are 14-16, but if you're a Bucks fan then you know that's actually a pretty good thing. As of last night the Bucks were clinging to the 8th and final playoff spot in the East despite a road-heavy schedule and their fair share of injuries. Not bad. But you're probably also a bit wary,...
Scott Skiles: Fireball for Rent
Scott Skiles is the latest edition of the Bullets Forever Summer Project. Some classics have been covered so far (Robert Pack, Tim Legler, Ledell Eackles, Jim McIlvaine, and Haywoode Workman) - [oh yea, and Larry Stewart], but there are plenty of great names left. I know many of you out there have...
Friday Bucks Notes
Don Walker reports that David Stern isn't sounding the alarm quite yet on the Bradley Center. "I think down the road given the shape of the bowl and constriction of the site . . . that eventually the citizens of Milwaukee will be facing the issue of a replacement for the Bradley Center," Stern...

Two questions for Bulls beat reporters to track down
What's the story on the money the Bulls still owe Scott Skiles? Last I read was from KC Johnson: The Bucks made their offer tough to beat, fully guaranteeing $18 million to Skiles, who is still owed $6 million from the Bulls. Is that really true? Not only can Skiles be paid by two...
Bring me your screamers, your scowl-ers, your bulging-forehead-vein-ers
I shouldn't amend my rule of never taking Jay Mariotti seriously, let alone his dark apprentice, but Greg Couch's sentiment about some of the coaching candidates has been repeated several places: If you throw away some pants because they don't look good on you, do you replace them by buying...
Milwaukee Bucks Hire Scott Skiles
I'm watching the press conference as I type this. I'm not sure if the fact that Skiles was recently fired, slipped on the ice and bruised his head and is dealing with some bronchial issues as well should be viewed as a bad omen. On the bright side both he and the Bucks organization have nowhere to...
