I'm hoping for Jrue to end up with either of the LA teams. Get him out of the East, and being able to play back home would be cool for him,.

Can you walk into your bosses office and demand personnel and procedural changes? Of course not, hey?

Actually you can. They just might tell you to not let the door hit your ass on the way out.

I know people that have done this, and it was granted, because they are important enough to the organization. Heck, I basically have done this before and it was granted. Others made demands and the answer was no, but feel free to start looking for a new job.

Well, things like that never happened in the good old days when Al McGuire was a coach and we had law and order

Milwaukee is now the epicenter of prime-time hoops.  No other city can boast a pro and college team with such promise.  It's not quite the dominant level of 1971-74 but we're still talking about something rare and potentially historic.

It is quite sad and embarrassing that our beloved home city's sports teams are a dumpster fire of biblical proportions.  Maybe the Blackhawks find their way but it's depressing.

The "good" news is the Bears probably have the easiest schedule in the league.  The NFC North is awful.  But will we win 4 games?  :(

Predicted 6. Now I'd say 3. All under a new coach.

Have you looked at our schedule?  I've never seen a worse schedule in my life.  We could win 6?  They literally play no one except maybe the Lions?

Probably unlikely but I don't think they play more than 1 playoff team.

The schedule is as easy as I've ever seen too. 6 should have been very doable but I have zero faith anymore. 😔

It's almost as if the schedule was designed for them to win a few games.  It's absolutely pathetic.

I may have to start a 6'0 and under league for the city to get back on track.

32-50 Is my guess.
That's fair, probably won't be as lucky on the injury front as last year.

After my employer had everyone return to the office and declared that they would not be approving remote work for any employees, Mrs. TAMU and I decided we wanted to move back to Milwaukee. I told my boss that I loved my job and would love to continue on remotely from Milwaukee. She said no. I told her that was fine and that I would begin job searching immediately.

Over two years later I'm still working for the same employer, VPNing in from a lounge chair next to my pool in Glendale.

Sometimes you can go into your boss' office and demand procedural changes.
