Crocs are ubiquitous. At least one of you weirdos owns a pair. I know because I've seen you wear them. Lot of your kids probably do, too. The brand is a damn juggernaut, and good for them - goooo capitalism!
But I think the good rubber-foot folks have gone a bit too far now. They've teamed with Huckberry, one of my favorite places to spend too much money on stuff (it's where I got my Waxed Trucker jacket, same as the one Pedro Pascal wears throughout The Last of Us, only I got mine first). And boy is the result a doozy.
Friends, I give you the Huckberry x Crocs Classic Western Boot. It looks as damn ridiculous as it sounds. Though I bet it's good for mucking out a stall.

wearing crocs as i read this, black. they are my back porch/lanai shoes and they don't leave these confines. my son however and i think every other boy that he swims with wears them fairly regularly. my girls used to wear them about but i think they've lost their luster maturing females. it is fascinating to see what they've become. worthy of a 2-3 part doc-series.
This seems to be one case where fashion isn't dumb. They've mad a pair of crocs look almost presentable, while presumably remaining functional. I still have never owned a pair of crocs, but there's still time...
I have never owned crocs and pretty sure I’ll be saying that ‘til the end
I finished The Last of Us yesterday, not exactly perfect Father's Day material but it was good. I hear there's a season 2 but I think they should just leave it as-is. Luckily rob's waxy coat will keep him in good stead for the mushroom zombies apocalypse. I don't think any of those action heroes were wearing crocs, and I think tall rubber boots have been around for quite a while (wellingtons, Hunter, LL Bean, etc.).
Wizards’ Beal deal was the least of all evils and brutally necessary but still a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad trade in terms of value received. This is a franchise that I don’t think we will ever see elevate above mediocrity. Sad!
is this 6:30 am school pick-up game the only pick-up basketball game in the world where the defense calls the fouls?
they always get (mildly) annoyed with me because i call foul on offense when i get fouled and i'm slow to call fouls on defense because no other game i've ever played in operates like this.
I'd love video from this social experiment. I'd bet a buck that the annoyance isn't mild and that it gets talked about over coffee by the other people later in the day.
If Dave approaches pickup hoops with even a fraction of the competitiveness he brings to leisure sports, I'd say Whitney isn't wrong.
good god, if i ever heard the things people say about me when i'm not around, i'd probably hole up and become a hermit . . .
To Dave's query, my experience is it's unusual for defense to call fouls in games among strangers or even acquaintances. However, I've played in games among close friends in which defense concedes, 'yeah, I hipped you or undercut you,' or 'I hit your forearm on that shot. Your ball.'
I’ve been playing with a pretty familiar crew of guys for about 20 years now (many of the faces have changed, obviously, but it’s a regular game). We call fouls on D when it’s obvious. Offense also calls fouls because that’s standard. That said, we have a rare and unusual setup in that regard. Every other pickup game I’ve ever been a part of is offense calls the fouls.
And yeah, the Beal trade was awful. And the timing was terrible. Nothing like waiting until the year after a generational prospect is in the draft to go for rock bottom.
