The Recombobulation Area is a 19-time Milwaukee Press Club award-winning opinion column and online publication founded by longtime Milwaukee journalist Dan Shafer. The Recombobulation Area is now part of Civic Media.
So, we have something a little different for you today. There is, of course, a ton happening in the political universe in Milwaukee and Wisconsin and beyond, but as anyone who follows me on social media knows, I am a huge, huge Milwaukee Bucks fan. And we just endured a roller coaster of a week as Bucks fans, with Giannis Antetokounmpo being in trade rumors all the way leading up to the NBA trade deadline. But after all that, Giannis is still a member of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Here to recombobulate with us after a discombobulating week is Milwaukee sports radio legend Bart Winkler.
Bart hosts the “Into the Winklerverse” podcast and you can find the latest episode here.
Oh, and thank you, Giannis. Please never leave us.
