If you are a hockey fan
in the Wausau area the place to be tonight and Saturday is Greenheck
Fieldhouse. It’s the annual battle for the Marathon Cup as the four area high
school hockey teams gather to battle it out. Perennial power Wausau West won
the Cup last year with a 6-1 win over DC Everest. It was their 10
th
straight Cup Championship. Those two teams will battle in a semi-final tonight
at 7:45. The other game will feature Mosinee vs the Wausau East/Merrill
Bluejacks at 5:15. I’ll have both games tonight and also on Saturday night on
Foxsports Radio AM1390 & FM 93.9.
The finalists for the Win Brockmeyer Award that goes to the
top high school senior football player have been announced. The finalists are
Marshall Hackel from Newman, Mitch Michalske of West, Zach Mueller of DCE and
Nathan Rodman of East. The award will be presented on December 15

As the Packers prepare for the winless Browns they announced
yesterday that DB Kevin King will go on season ending IR and Dimitri Goodson
who has been out for a year was placed back on the roster. Also, it’s pretty
clear from what we’ve seen that Aaron Rodgers will be back next week. Also hard
to believe that the Browns could be this bad…they have lost 30 of their last 31
games. You would think they would have won a few more just by accident.
60 Minutes is in Milwaukee doing a piece on Giannis. His
story is fascinating and it should prove illuminating and entertaining for
those who don’t know it.
Dowton Abbey Fans should be thrilled with this Christmas
spoof…..

I leave you this without comment…..
Have you seen the video of the commuters driving to work
through the fires in California? Meanwhile California Republican members of
Congress actually voted for a tax bill that eliminates deductions for losses in
fires and earthquakes.
Elections have consequences…….follow the money. The Mueller
Investigation has subpoenaed records from Deutsche bank relating to Trumps
accounts. The bank is cooperating. Two things to look for…why did the bank loan
millions of dollars to the Trump organization when no one else in the world
would touch them?..and why did they make a huge loan to Jared Kushner right
before the election? Deutsche Bank is already under DOJ investigation in a $10
billion Russian money laundering scheme………………………When Republicans try and tell
you that the Mueller investigation us costing too much just remind them that
they spent much more on the fruitless Benghazi investigations and that Trump
has spent a lot more on his constant golfing trips………………………The Roy Moore camp
is pulling out all the stops. They tweeted this week that “Planned Parenthood has
contributed heavily to the Doug Jones campaign. That has been investigated and
is a flat out lie. When the stories of Moore’s pedophilia broke that thinking
was he would try and tough it our and run out the clock until Election day. It seems
to have worked. There seem to be enough voters in Alabama that have convinced
themselves to look the other way or to paint the women accusing Moore of lying.
Some of Moore’s defenders (religious leaders to boot) have suggested that
getting involved with a teenager is the only way to ensure you have a big
family…and they are much more fertile at that age. (no really, those words were
used) “The calendar is lying when it reads the present day”. Phil Ochs sang
those words in 1963 about Mississippi. It seems that present-day Alabama can be
added to the list……………..Two days after the Veterans Affairs secretary touted
Trump’s support for homeless vets, his agency said it would cut funding for a
major housing program serving vulnerable vets. How often do you have to hear
someone in this administration say one thing and do the exact opposite?……………………….
