  1. I was there about three years ago and had no issue leaving my stuff out on the North Shore. I got about seven months left here before moving to Honolulu. Definitely want to spend much more time up there.
  2. I kinda skimmed this thread and am left attempting to better understand him and what he deals with on a daily basis. I feel like even though this website provides a valuable place within his life’s construct, I think that the negatives of this site outweigh whatever positives he takes from here.
  3. That definitely qualifies as the 3rd one. Even in retirement he still went out and scouted opponents for his son.
  4. Man this one sucks. I am glad his wife was with him as he went onto the great beyond, but him and Walton in such a short time is a tremendous loss for the game of basketball. One of the things that stuck with me about him was that despite everything he accomplished as a player and executive he never could get past all those losses to THOSE GUYS in the Finals. The man was just driven to always win and when he failed time and again against the only nemesis he could not conquer as a player he never let go of it. Now you can rest Mr. West. Go hangout with Wilt and Elgin. Thank you for all you did for the game of basketball, especially us Laker fans that you gave so many great moments with the decisions you made.
  5. From what I remember the building was not that big at the time, but this is years ago and my memory of it could be wrong. Looking at their website it’s a pretty big building, but I am not sure how old this sanctuary is that I am looking at.
  6. I remember seeing one of these churches near Waxahachie on I-35 years ago. Never really put too much effort into understanding what they were about as I went to church in Oak Cliff at a small non-denominational church off the east end of Illinois Avenue in a quiet neighborhood.
  7. Yes he was. Best part of the movie was him wrecking shop.
  8. That is being tailored by Icono as we speak.
  9. My first thought is this uniform color has to be in homage to the Swedish heritage of the state. They look like something that was in the Beck video “Colors” from a few years back.
  10. Judge doing his level best to make sure this is not a sweep with another solo shot. He’s even getting some help tonight from Grisham who got his batting average into triple digit numbers with his homer.
  11. I never have followed any WNBA team closely, but I will keep up with the Fever more often than any other team. I find the Aces to be a fascinating team because of how they play as well though. Clark is what a dozen games into her rookie season and is the face of the league. I find the jealousy exhibited towards her to be childish and immature, but people are going to people. Nothing new under the sun.
  12. As soon as she said “With that being said” you knew she would undo everything prior to that.
  13. If the league is meaningless to so many people then a negative comment shouldn’t mean that much, even coming from Silver.
  14. It is. Silver has said it has taken longer than they originally envisioned, but yes when the commissioner of the NBA feels the money is well spent then I believe that says the money is being put to good use. A year of whatever it is that Westbrook currently is could fund four years worth of the money required from the NBA. I would rather see money spent on things that are positive instead of 200 million handed to a guy who cannot stay out of trouble like Ja Morant. Again this is all chump change to the NBA.
  15. I have never objected to the NBA putting money into the WNBA. I agree with the rationale you presented and I think Silver has said something similar. The money they put into the league is well spent.
  16. Per NBA team it comes out to 400k per year right now. They should be on the cusp of break even if they can use the momentum Clark has brought. Another way to look at that money is the Sixers spend 36 million a year on Tobias Harris. 12 million comes across as a rounding error in NBA money terms.
  17. This series was a wrap once Soto decided to get rest for his injury. Dodgers looking like they will get a sweep tomorrow. The Yanks have as many runs in 18 innings as one swing of the bat got for the Dodgers. Totally different team without Soto, which shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. At least Judge is still swinging an extremely hot bat even if it is a blowout.
  18. Looks like the Yanks will be shutout in 11 unless they figure out a way to generate some runs. Not a good first game without Soto in the lineup.
  19. I am still not entirely sure why this is a guy that has a job working in the media. He is not eloquent nor is he particularly informative. For me he is the basketball version of Dan Orlovsky. No real good reason either has the job they do.
  20. Pretty cool how he’s friends with a direct descendant of Neanderthals. Won’t help him in court, but maybe she can find him a rock to go live under once he loses everything.
  21. Maybe he winds up homeless and hooks up with Icono and gets his drugs while doing the thing Icono enjoys so much. That seems a more fitting end.
  22. I feel like those families want to see him feel just a tiny bit of the percentage of pain they carry with them everyday. I think that factor motivates them more than monetary payouts. Knowing his life is completely destroyed seems to bring them more satisfaction. I am absolutely good with that. If he lives past his 50’s I would be shocked. I think he OD’s on opiates before then.
  23. It sounds like Soto will be fine and has been playing through the pain. Looks like he is just going to pinch hit this weekend. I wanted to go watch a game in this series with LA and my boss at work even offered me his two season tickets to one game if I wanted to go. I will probably wait to take him up on his offer for a Mets or Red Sox series when Soto is back. I guess we get to see if the Yanks can fill the void this weekend and beat Ohtani and the Dodgers without him.
  24. I want that stuff included. I do realize it was prior to the appointment, but we know why he got it paid. Man have we failed so miserably as a country to be in this position with the highest court in the land.
  25. This total is absolutely false. That guy had debt wiped away like it never existed and I am supposed to believe he took only a 100?
