This Gold Cup game is nuts.  USMNT playing badly with a 2 goal lead.  And in the last 5 minutes, Altidore has been felled by a Titty Twister and a bite on the shoulder by some crazy player from El Salvadore who probably lives in a house with a dirt floor.

Must be super late with this-just got around to watching the 30 for 30 on Mike and the Mad Dog.  I had hoped for something in depth-was anything but.  Reminded me of one of those 30 for 30 shorts on the ARod to the Sox thing or something.

Also, I recall that Francessa had lost some weight-looks like he found it again.

I always was, and remain, a…[Read more]

A couple of thoughts spring to my addled mind about this.

1) it’s completely plausible that Patricia likes being the DC of a team coached by the greatest coach in NFL history, rather than…[Read more]

Was in the office yesterday and flipped on 98.5 on TV to have something on in the background.  Was treated to an in-depth discussion of what they were buying on Amazon Prime Day.

Not surprisingly, it was the most insightful discussion on that show in months.

SBLI is on the NFL Network.

1st Quarter.  ATL sure seems to be moving the ball well.

I have a bad feeling about this game.  🙂

Chris Christie joins Charlie Weis on the list of Least Effective LapBand Surgeries Ever.

Frates posted a video of himself just now, and in the background is Pearl Jam “Alive”

Best thing I’ll see for quite some time.

One of my nom-de-plom twitter accounts has been suspended because “he” unleashed a barrage of “You dumb cunts!” at Volin and some of  the other idiots who mistakenly pronounced Frats dead.

That’s a first for me.  😆

Watched a bunch of episodes of the Man in the High Castle on a flight out to Vegas. So far it’s pretty good, anyone else watch it?

I’ve seen both seasons.  I thought season 1 took a little while to get going, but season 2 was a home run.  Really liked it.

The Vertical reporting the Cs may be taking a run at New Orleans for Davis.

That was my completely uninformed read.  The LA Pick and a young talent (Jaylon Brown?) for Jimmy Butler maybe?  And sign Heyward.  That’s a good team, and while not as talented as Cleveland, it’s much deeper.

I’m sure my neophyte trade speculation is incredibly frustrating for the true hoops experts here, but I haven’t been this excited about an…[Read more]

Danny has to be completely confident that the Lakers take Ball, and not Jackson, right?

Also, he flips LA’s pick next year in a deal for a big name, right?  Butler?

Finally getting around to watching the 30 for 30  3 parter on the Celtics and Lakers.  I’m in awe.

Reinforces my jealousy of people who got to watch the Russell Celtics.  I read his biography, and as much of an icon as he is on and off the court, he seldom gets the credit he deserves.  First black coach of a major sports team.  Yowza.

Assuming, as I have heard, that Danny may prefer Josh Jackson, wouldn’t it be more prudent to pick Fultz, ensure that the Lakers pick Ball/DON’T pick Jackson, 76ers pick Jackson, and then trade the players?

Keeps Magic from screwing up the deal by coming to his senses on Ball.

The Garden, a playoff Game 7.  No place better.  Only shame it’s on a school night.
