Actually that is odd. He was very pro MU on twitter. They are in a fight for listeners with 3 total sports stations in Milwaukee, plus WTMJ - part-time as well. He might have been just trying to get fans to call in with rage and to listen as well.

Don't know much about Milwaukee sports radio, but yikes. That's bad.

Who cares if he's a one-trick pony when the trick is really, really good?

Well to be fair, Rowsey is a one-trick pony...that one-trick "winning".

Rowsey is the man. We badly needed a dude with a chip on his shoulder and he's got one. Oh, and the man can really shoot it.

Heard it here first. Rowsey hits 12+ 3s this weekend.

Needles is a hack and always has been.  He's been in this market for a long time.

I'm a Rowsey fan. Probably not, if he was not a Warrior, but he is a Warrior. If he was a Domer or Badger, not so much

I don't live in Milwaukee, so I had no idea who Dan Needles is until I just looked him up.

So who is doing it wrong - the 20-year old kid who is nationally known as one of the most efficient offensive players in the country, or the middle aged sportscaster who is probably known to nobody outside of Milwaukee?

Says more about Needles and what can only be described as a galactic lack of basketball knowledge than it does about Rowsey.

Wow...there's a name I don't see around here much any more.  Haven't thought about him in a long, long time.

Well I hope Rowsey trick-n-treats all over Dan "don't know crap about Basketball" Needles, that is a stupid "take" by him.

Rowsey is a baller

Absolutely ripping? Absolutely not.

He was critical of Rowsey pulling up for a '3' on the break with no other MU player in sight.

1) I don't know who Dan Needles is, as I am one of the many non-Milwaukee/Wisconsin, non-Chicago/Illinois Marquette alums.

2) Sports talk tv/radio is designed to be polarizing to get people who agree and disagree. Often times at the local level the "talent" doesn't often follow a particular team or sport closely and many "takes" are vague, general etc...

Try music. Music is your friend. It is fun and relaxing. It never has "hot takes". It is much less stressful.

Works for me. I wouldn't be too worked up about what any media person says about an individual or about the program. All that matters is what you think and feel about it.
