I think Tate is fine as the 12th guy on your bench, and they’re not paying him much. But if you ask him to play 10+ minutes a game, it’s a problem.
They’re going to really miss Tari’s scoring. He and Reed were nice 1-2 punch off the bench. Get well soon.
Not on the grand scale of the Teamsters, but the Five Families and Chicago controlled the bartenders’ unions in their respective cities in addition to AC and Vegas.
They’ve always had influence in the builders’ unions. The Concrete Club in NYC being the most famous example. The tax was $5 per yard. Got broken up in the mid 1980s.
They also controlled the Fulton Fish Market until it moved and the docks and their associated unions.
Chicago was more into city government namely bid rigging public works contracts. Got broken up in the early 1990’s. It’s widely speculated that 2 Chicago aldermen were made members of The Outfit. D’Arco and Roti.
Even Philly got into the action. As you saw in The Irishman, they controlled the roofers union and that psycho Nicky Scarfo had a rebar company in AC.
I skipped Gameday this morning and all of the usual suspects on podcasts when it became abundantly clear that no one was even going to even entertain a discussion that Texas could win.
I don’t get it. These same people tanked us number 1 in the nation in September. None of the team or the coaches have changed.
Probably my favorite “oaky” bourbon. Just a pleasant sipper that is pretty simple. They could price it better, but I believe industry standard is $10 for every year in the barrel. At $160 a bottle this is a little under that.
I guess Heaven Hill wants to keep it that way because it’s a legacy offering.
They smoked a good Blazers team, and maybe took a step forward in getting the Stay Ready Crew paid. Grand prize for NBA Cup is $500k. That’s a big deal for about half the team.
I’m cautiously optimistic on Reed’s defense. I’d like see him against some really good guards again, but he’s certainly progressing. Cavs, Nuggets, and Warriors will be good tests.
I’d shoot no hesitation too if Ime and Amen threatened to beat the shit out of me if I passed on an open look.
Probably the most down on the Rockets podcast. And the shit rolls uphill at the Ringer.Verno is butthurt the Rockets got a bonafide star and Memphis couldn’t during their rise.
Hoops Collective is very bullish on the Rockets.
