    There are a lot of younger people who have never professionally lived through a recession who are about to have a rude awakening. Summer children of the “more jobs than people” buyers market has many people in many industries accustomed to being sought after and accommodated with increasing perks and many options to leave for more money, faster career growth, or just the first slight to their ego.

    Attitudes change quickly when employers tighten their belts, freeze hiring and then start laying off and all of a sudden that crappy job seems like a pretty good deal.

    Preach it. I graduated college in 1983 oil bust, and law school in 1991 recession. Took forever to gain any real career traction. You get a real recession and there will be some attitude adjustment across the board. We probably need it. Just way too much money sloshing around has warped everyones sense of economic value of both capital and labor.

    But I’ll always call this home and spend the majority of my time here.  This city needs a reset though.  I think we are getting it but not soon enough.  

    Glad you're good Doc. Can't wait to catch your future Netflix documentary.

    Not sharing your optimism on city in near term. Longer term maybe but something has to give politically. 

    I am reconsidering whether wearing a poor mans Rolex is a bad idea here. 

    Even with the bullshit as long as we aren't victims of something violent we intend to stay. Its still such an awesome city. 

  3. Im an old so I remember watching the Sixers series. Also remember thinking too bad for Lakers that Kareem can't play. Clearly plugging your point guard in at center against a team with basically two centers should be a disaster, right? 

    The idea that not only did it work but Magic dominated has to be one of the most awesome feats in NBA history given the circumstances.

    I'm in my early 50s now and haven't exercised significantly for the past 5 years.  I've dropped close to 60 pounds through diet, but I need to build up some strength.  Will be rejoining the local Y and might just bite the bullet and enlist the assistance of a personal trainer for a while.  I'm mostly concerned about doing lifting incorrectly and ending up with back or other issues.

    I went a very long time without strength training. Started with a personal trainer at 50. I am putting up some numbers but more importantly my back and knee discomfort are gone and I am much stronger across the board. Do it but make sure you get coached up.

    What I really want to do is buy some of my own weights to use in the garage.  Help me figure out what types of equipment to buy, and maybe some exercises I can do every day with what I have to at least tone up and build some muscle.  I wasn't planning to buy a huge weight bench thing, moreso maybe some freeweights but I have no idea what to get.   I'm probably making this whole thing a lot more complicated than it has to be but I definitely have no idea where to start.  Thanks from a Demon Deacon🎩

    Free weights are definitely awesome but you should also consider getting coached up on kettlebells. Its an awesome tool and you can do damn near anything. About the only thing you really need to supplement is pecs so you can cover that with pushups. Space and time efficient and will be great for your flexible strength. 

    And +1 on back squats. I am going to school on the low back squat. Taking some mastery but I am liking it better than the high squat, even though we are only talking about a few inches [thats what she said]

    Under no circumstances would I recommend extending your stay in Potter county a second longer than absolutely necessary.

    Fuck Potter county indeed. Swing over to Borger where the real party at. They have a Bennigan's after all.

    Holy shit I would love to see this same type of show done for the early 90s Cowboys……

    Pearlmans book on the 90 Boys is a fun read. The whole barber chair deal to open the book is insane. 

    I dont dig the West portrayal. I mean the guy is one of the legends of the game as a player and front office guy. Dont think that happens if he is a raving lunatic for a few decades.

    And agree on Westhead. No way that guy could be some kind of pussy and lead these guys to a title. Check out "Guru of Go" on 30 for 30. Westhead was legit.

    But hey the whole motif is over the top so you just have to buckle up for the ride.

    Jimmy Savile doc...

    They should dig up his corpse and hang it from London Bridge.

    Is this worth a watch? Never heard of the guy. Should I care or is this some depraved child molester example eleventy billion?

    Looking at the preview though I think this is one case where you can judge the book by the cover. He was obviously a really strange person. 

  9. I cant get over how much we are digging this show. From previews I was sure I would hate it. Adrien Brody as Pat Riley? Sure why the fuck not? Reilly as Buss was a masterstroke. Sorry Will Farrell they got it right. 

    80s and 90s NBA was my wheelhouse and I didn't know any of this stuff. 

    My wife is about to stroke out waiting for episodes to drop. 

    The whole thing is insane and I just love it.

    Those old NFL films showing the old Met Stadium Vikings were cool as hell.  Seeing Eller and Page slowly get down in the stance with steam coming from their nostrils was classic.  

    That and the flamethrowers thawing out the field. Awesome. 

  11. Holgren is built like a marathoner. The trainers would say he's a hard gainer. I dont see him putting on much good weight. His body type cant handle it. 

    Its a shame because the skills are there but I see a Porzingis type injured dude in a couple years.

    I don't want to read the whole thread in an effort to glean the answer myself, but is this show enjoyable for wives who are only casual basketball fans? Or is this pretty much a just a show for sports fans? 

    My wife doesn't care about NBA and she loves it. This show way exceeds my expectations. Never really seen anything like it and the story hasn't really even gotten going yet. Its a great watch. It will send you out to do some Google searches for sure
