The Bizarro Bucks....
Seriously, what the hell is going on? Not that I’m complaining, but the Milwaukee Bucks are…good! So much so that as I was listening to Ted Davis call the game as the Bucks creamed the Wizards in D.C. Friday night, I wasn’t the least bit surprised. Normally, it’s a surprise when the Bucks win ANY road game. Now, I’m actually EXPECTING them to dominate poor teams on...

Anderson and Andersen....
So I’m flipping through the channels tonight, and I land on NFL Network. What I found could not have been a greater discovery than that collection of 32 plastic NFL mini-helmets I bought at a sporting-goods store recently (I tried to collect those damn things out of those little grocery-store vending machines when I was younger, and I wound up with like 27 Bengals helmets and not much...

The audacity of Tiger....
Well, I got a new computer, and it’s a liberating experience. As the era of Twitter, Facebook and blogging has grown around me, I’ve been stuck with the tools unable to take advantage of it. I feel like one of those 50-year-old guys who finally broke down and just bought an HDTV. So this is what I’m missing. Technology. It’s a beautiful thing. Except I feel like an idiot....

My computer sucks....
And I’m tired of it. I need a new one. I’ve had this one for like eight years. So I guess it doesn’t suck at all, it’s just too old. I haven’t been posting much because I’ve had the freaking thing getting fixed by my wife’s stepdad the whole weekend, and then she needs it for work, so she’s been taking up all the computer time with our...

If you want to be a Badger....
Then you also wanted to get kicked in the cherries tonight. Ugh. Trevon Hughes in the second half: 0-8 FG, 0 points, 0 assists. Read that line again. It’s Shawn Respert-worthy. I know Trevon has made some big shots this season and he’s a tough kid who’ll probably bounce back, but that kind of a second half out of your senior PG is pretty pitiful. How many times did he drive to...

Is winning the Super Bowl all about luck?
I wanted to post a few final thoughts about the Super Bowl. After having watched the playoffs and Sunday’s somewhat entertaining game (not very entertaining, but somewhat entertaining; seriously, why doesn’t anyone throw more than 8-yard passes anymore?), I concluded that any of the 12 teams that made the playoffs this season were very capable of winning the Super Bowl, save the...

Getting started...
Welcome to my blog on the wonderful world of Wisconsin sports, known as Statis-Stix. It will be a sarcastic/cynical/philsophical/comedic blog on all things Wisconsin sports (and sports in general), but the topics may get serious sometimes. I guess whatever comes to mind. I’ll be posting my thoughts at least once a week, probably more once I get going.
