The whole gig was predicated upon being able to pass the loans on to Freddy and Fannie. Once you have washed your hands of the transaction and skimmed a percentage of the loans that were then securitized, you had no concerns because now the baby belonged to the government. You were not concerned about non-performing…

If we have five 7-footers on the court no one could ever beat us. We would win simply by being taller than everyone else. Vlade being Vlade.

I played this over, and over and over and over and over. And over. Again.

This cop’s reflexes and senses are amazing. He could not only pick up the subtle changes in skin color, but could react to that change all in a millisecond. He detected a change in shoulder elevation and immediately flew into action.

Has a study ever been done in those communities that lost a team? I would think that such a study to see how the local economy fared after the removal of a team would actually provide the most concrete results in terms of tax dollars lost in the subsequent years. Rather than construct hypothetical economic models, you…

From a pure baseball perspective, the pitch selection from the bench in the final inning was nothing short of laughable. You send a 95+ MPH freakshow to the mound and then continue to call slider after slider when he’s shown he had no command of the pitch. Walk-Walk-Walk and then let’s throw an inside fastball to a…

Only about half-way.

I liked yesterday’s more though.

I thought the “shittiest sandwich” comment was pure gold, but then along came you...

I had no idea that she was the superstar behind Indigenous People’s day. That was an accomplishment.

Casilla wanted to whip it out and prove how big a man he was. Bochy wanted to win a game.

Bobby Savoy looks like his son. That’s sweet.

Unlike most of that list, Thunder Dan could play!

I don’t really want to bog fun discussion down with pesky little facts, but the two pitches that the Mane was bitching on were both in the tiny little box that denotes a strike.

In little kid basketball, you can’t press until the final minute of play. So you essentially have 2 completely different games. In that last minute, all hell breaks loose, the team with the ball can never get over half court and game scores will swing wildly. This maelstrom reminded me of that.

Hot take of the year. Ralph Lauren wins contract to make apparel, and it turns out “Waspy/Waspish”. Wow.

That classic story of Don King responding to a fighter who threatened to sue him by pointing to a stack of papers piled high on a desk across the room and telling him, “put it over there with the rest of them”.

Is anything and everything disparaging about a person’s intrinsic nature off limits? For instance, I’m not a tall fellow. If someone gets pissed and calls me a short bastard, short jerk or other height related, categorically unavoidable characteristic, will everyone come to my defense? Or are there certain rules.

Coach Killers. Where are they now?

My work on this topic in China, Vietnam & Hong Kong resulted in an National Emmy Nomination.
