So a younger dude from the neighborhood that we know is a huge Eagles fan, for some cockamamie reason. He's a nice guy, but come on.
Anyway, he's still friends with a certain All-Pro safety he went to high school with here. He just found out his buddy hooked him with Super Bowl tickets, gratis.
There are a handful of people from this area that went on to pro sports careers of varying longevity and accolades. Some of them give back to their old community and the folks in it quite a bit, some don't. This dude tops most of them even at his young age. Chancellor, ambassador, and then some.
Licking wounds today Whit. Licking wounds. Returned from Orlando where Rob and I were unable to conduct any sort of summit, unfortunately. He's big time, ya know. Watching Tigger play golf now. One of of my favorite hung over pastimes.
i regret that i have only one liver to give for my country, danimal. and i regret that it was in use just miles from you and i couldn't shake free to use it with you.
The really depressing thing is that it looks like Emmert was relatively powerless to push an investigation even if he had wanted to. The D1 board of directors (controlled by reps from the power 5) are really in control and had zero desire to invistigate MSU. Emmert is a puppet who serves at their pleasure.
That does not relieve him of culpability or ignore that he could have resigned in protest but it does just underscore what a joke the NCAA is.
How you feel about Al Horford is a nice litmus test for how much someone understands basketball. He’s so much more than his stats indicate and the success of every team he plays on reflects that.
your tribe hung on to pull out a gritty road win in wilmington. 7-3 in the league, with 5 of the final 8 at home. none of that matters come march, but a three-way tie for first doesn't suck.
And Jesus does my sporting life suck. My top teams are the 1996 Yankees and ... that Mason team I guess. 1994 Rangers maybe but that was more about what it meant to the area and my friends who are into hockey (and their dads who wept openly) than what it meant to me.
Model on the right has a little Leia from Jedi thing going on.
ReplyDeletei actually like the first outfit. organically sexy. i would wear it.
ReplyDeleteI'd buy that for a dollar, Dave.
ReplyDeleteWhat's on tap for the weekend, good people?

why the secrecy, 'whitney'? will ever know that chancellor the rapper gave your buddy tickets.

ReplyDeleteIt was Jackie Chancellor.
ReplyDeleteDaniel-san, there’s only one known cure for your condition. Sen. Blutarsky’s Theory, as its known in science.
ReplyDeleteit was chan gailey
ReplyDeleteChandler Bing?

ReplyDeletein a good way
ReplyDeleteLike when you're climbin the ropes in gym class
ReplyDeleteNike hit a home run with their city edition uniforms. I even copped a pair of the Miami Vice Heat shorts. Not even a Heat fan but I had to grab those.
ReplyDeleteIn much worse news, fire everyone in the Michigan State athletic department.
ReplyDeleteand mark emmert
ReplyDeleteCorrect

i thought the same thing, marls. it's a joke, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI think the important takeaway is that these types of scandals likely happened at Baylor, MSU and nowhere else.
ReplyDeleteExactly, TR.

ReplyDeleteJoakim Noah was similar when he was healthy. They remain the most underrated duo in college basketball of the last 20 years.

ReplyDeleteA road win against the Fighting Brett Blizzards is always a good win.
ReplyDeleteEvery young guard should study the way Kyrie Irving finishes.
ReplyDeletebrett blizzard! that dude killed us.
ReplyDeleteI've been told that I have an impressive finish.
ReplyDeleteAnd that 2006 Florida team crushed my hopes and dreams for my beloved GMU Patriots.
ReplyDeleteI played against Brett Blizzard in AAU ball. He also killed us.
ReplyDeleteI was passionately rooting for George Mason. Until I wasn’t. The 06-07 Florida teams are at the very high end of my favorite teams as a sports fan.
ReplyDeleteI believe I called Mark from a hotel room during that Florida/Mason game...
ReplyDeleteKyrie and Steph and dueling and it’s tremendous.
ReplyDeleteThat was during the he early days of me and TJ’s torrid internet love affair.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a good post topic--poll GTBers for top 2-3 teams as a fan. Tah Tah Tootie, get on that for the next episode of zman and the Teedge.

ReplyDelete41 on 16-24 is ridiculous. And we’re way to accustomed to Steph doing shit like that.
ReplyDelete2004 red sox in a landslide. followed by the 1980 us hockey team.
