If I had remembered to bring my field glasses I could watch the fight pretty easily from my room at the Marriott here in Houston. The one bar by the Dynamo’s stadium has it on the big screen and I can see it. I could probably watch it still and tell what is going on. Hopefully Paul gets clobbered.
EDIT: they are showing the UFC fight
He played a damned good game. They lost, 1-0. I talked to him very briefly before the game and then a bit more after. He drew blood to a Houston guy’s head in the first half but, also banged his own head pretty good. I think it was the Ponce guy Mikey banged heads with. They were both on the ground for a while.
I was in section 232 and he looked up and gave me a 👍 coming out of halftime. Played very well and banged his head again. After the game he said he was very dizzy. He gave me his jersey and it weighed a ton and was completely soaked.
St Louis can’t score. Their midfield needs massive improvement. They lose so many possessions in the middle of the field. Still, they are playing better than they did before the coaching change.
I am glad I came. It’s a nice stadium and easy to walk to from the Marriott. Although the Astros game, and the parade, let out at the same time and traffic was a clusterfuck. The stadium also has a nice selection of food although I got none cuz it was so damned hot.
All my life we had a Lone Star bottle opener and I had never had a Lone Star. In Houston for the Dynamos v St Louis MLS game, and I’ve now had Lone Star. It’s good
Is anyone going Saturday in Houston?
Mikey made his season-debut last night, got a for pulling down the shorts of a guy from Orlando.
He just told me he is starting Saturday at Houston so I am going to fly down tomorrow.
Got home from Germany/France and talked to my buddy who works at Oakmont and he mentioned a player damaged two lockers in the men's locker room after a terrible round. My buddy was with some Oakmont members when they inspected the lockers. I've been in Oakmont's Men's Locker Room and the lockers are historically designated. He said that the guy will not ever be allowed back at Oakmont. I forget the guy's name.
He was also on the patio when the fellow hit the putt to seal the victory and said the noise was just incredible.
T.J.’s Aunt Susie played at Penn State and won a Gold Medal in the Olympics. His Aunt Kathy played at UVa and is now the head coach at Carnegie Mellon University. His Uncle Mike is an NCAA ref. There is another brother, whom I do not know, who played at Davidson and has been an NCAA assistant coach at a few places.
Timmy, T.J.’s dad, is a good guy. One of my roomies at Pitt used to play against him in a summer league and said that Timmy was always relentless, never quit, win or lose. It’s why he’s been a very successful high school coach here in Pittsburgh.
They are basketball junkies, true representation of the old Chechen & Chong song - - Basketball Jones.
That clip was funny, and a true representation of Timmy.
Oh, and one last thing about the cars I saw in St. Tropez and on the roads between Ettlingen and there.
Each of the past few years I have seen more and more Ford Rangers in Germany and France.
It’s kind of cool.
