An ode to Win in 6 One thing is for certain, though. You don’t take that ride for granted and you hold on to the memories that you formed along the way. Without it, my life would be a lot different than what it is today...

One last ICYMI: I wrote about the end of Win in 6, finding your identity and community through sports and more.

Milwaukee and Wisconsin sports Join the conversation

So, it feels like the right time to share a Wisconsin & Milwaukee starter park!

I remember a time not too long ago I wasn't able to create one because there weren't enough folks on BlueSky to do so.

I can't assume I found *everyone* so please reply with new adds!

RIP, Bob Harlan, gone today at 89. He built the strong foundation for today's Packers and today's Lambeau Field. They'd slid into irrelevance and were on the ropes when he took over as team president in 1989. It was bad. Harlan -- more than any GM, player or coach -- was and is the Packers' MVP.

For anyone on here wanting an update on Win in 6, here's the latest from my co-host Adam McGee.

Incredibly grateful for the many hours I spent with Adam writing at Behind the Buck Pass and recording Win in 6. None of what I have done comes without Adam's influence. GSPN for life.

A Wisconsin sports team enduring a second half collapse in Chicago? You would have thought Matt LaFleur would have been involved.

"Bashful" Meadowlark Lemon, clown prince of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team, strikes a puzzled pose as an exasperated referee and teammate point him in the direction in which an upcoming free throw should be guided during a game against the Washington Generals at the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Saturday, Feb. 26, 1966.

60 years ago last night, on Feb. 26, 1966, there was no ABA yet, so Connie Hawkins was playing with the Harlem Globetrotters before a sold-out crowd in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He dunked to open the game. Meadowlark Lemon led the Globies to a 89-78 win over the Washington Generals.

Last game plan | Marquette legends recall Al McGuire’s deathbed advice Before legendary Marquette coach Al McGuire died in January 2001, he had a steady stream of visitors to his small room in hospice care.

Al McGuire died 25 years ago, but the Marquette legend's influence has been long-lasting.

His former players are now the same age or older than McGuire was when he passed.

Here are the lessons they learned from their final conversations.

Hooray! The ABA documentary series "Soul Power" premiered this week on Prime, and I'm apparently in every episode. (Sorry, Bezos!) If you like what you hear, please buy my book on Amazon or from your favorite indie bookseller. www.amazon.com/Hang-Time-Pr...
