Fear the Deer! And the Thunder! On this episode of Take A 20, we blow the whistle on the whistleblowers of the 2001 NBA Eastern Conference Finals, who ripped the sausage-stuffed hearts out of Milwaukee sports fans. Wisconsin sports media mainstay, “Thunder” Mitch Nelles, joins the show to re-live the agony of the Bucks’ excruciating loss in that series, which led many people to question the integrity of NBA officiating. Mitch also offers his thoughts on the state of sports in the Badgers state, including his scathing take on the Packers.
