  1. Pulisic was excellent in the Covid period until his hamstring issues. Since then he hasn’t been as good or fast except for some games when Chelsea won the champions league. 
    He seems to be getting a little bit smarter in his play at least internationally. Hope that Carrie’s over for his new team. If not then I can see a Carrie breakdown. (Might as well how with the auto correct change).

    I hate to break it to you, but you've only averaging about 10 miles a month.

    The rest is from jerking off in the shower. 

    That’s 1.58 miles daily of caulking the cracks in the bathroom tile; going Hans Solo on Darth Vader and evicting the testicular squatters.

  3. TOS: “FWIW, this will be a special assistant role” in regards to Matson. 

    Terry did a good job after Beard stepped away and resigned. Haith, McClain and Chappell are the three assistants. Seems like a capable staff. 

    The roster has some issues but is intriguing. Overall I’ll be excited to see how it goes in the fall. And especially in the expanded B12. 
     

  4. For the last ten months I’ve worne a garmin swim 2 watch because it covers open water swims. 
     

    I like it because it keeps stats where I can see how much Ive swam. My average is 58.27 miles per month so far.  Before I just had a cheap waterproofCasio and would only wear it to make sure I wasn’t late for work if I did a lunchtime or morning swim. 

  5. I rarely drink anymore, but there was a time where my buddy and I blew .40 in a bar breathalyzer. We walked to the closest all night restaurant and called his wife to come pick us up. 

    My dad died from drinking (cirrhosis) and had two dui’s. It sucked being an aging alcoholic. What was once his friends at the tennis club, strip joints and bars disappeared. Hr blew out his knees and shoulders from tennis and lost his retirement due to his wife’s gambling. She had holes to fill and those holes were real. They were quite the couple, she lost enough at the casinos so that he could drink for free.  No one came to visit regularly as his best friend had Alzheimer’s and his buddy’s wife never forgave him for permitting her husband to meet up with an old girlfriend at the 50th HS class reunion. So he isolated himself by watching the golf channel and reading mystery novels while drinking and drinking.

    Had to learn that was not the road I wanted to take. The spark was having two young kids running around while I suffered through hangovers. The kids are grown, so now I have blowouts once or twice a year. And why drink alone if I’m loosening inhibitions. 

    I was part of an over 50 basketball group and every once in a while we’d get an email that Bob died at age 77 while playing basketball at the JCC. Condolences to Bob and his family but also congratulations. Way to go Bob that’s the way to do it. 

    Good luck to bob and his daughter. Maybe he can find a pickle ball court somewhere.

  6. I’m really liking his “You Want It Darker” with the Jewish lady singing Hebrew. 
     

    Combine that with Slaid Cleaves “Natures Darker Laws” and that’s a nice start of songs with darker in the title. 

    I’ve been a big fan since “I’m Your Man” and that led me to his earlier stuff. The tribute album came out and I liked some of the covers like “stories of the street” from That Petrol Emotion and “don’t go home with a hardon”, but Cale’s version of “Hallelujah” blew me away.

  7. Driving to Seattle next week with my son. Taking our time over 5 days and then meeting his sister for some day trips before I fly home and he starts work  

    Late July for sons grad trip doing a cruise from Barcelona - Marseille- Cannes - Mallorca - Ibiza and back to Barcelona as a grad trip. He goes back to Seattle and I fly to Seville to meet my lady friend where we’ll spend a week between there and Malaga. 

  8. Nice video breakdown of Abmas. What an amazing shooter and pnr’s with Disu for midrange and Shedrick and Mitchell for rolls to the bucket  should be a strength. Will his defense improve or will he at least give more effort? Will better conditioning enable him to do so without taking away from his offense?

    Shedrick can help on d for drives but will get eaten up on pnr’s if abmas continues same lack of effort. 

    Hunter is terrific on hounding the pg dribbling the ball up court and that will help Abmas on the defensive end. Hunter’s not a great shooter as he needs space as he brings the ball down when shooting threes. With the focus on Abmas, Hunter should have more time for catch and shoots. 

    Did duke establish the game plan to limit Abmas?  Probably and with Mitchell and Hunter not great shooters, it might be effective. But Texas is way more dangerous than ORU. If Abmas doesn’t have the ball in his hands, there should be lots of off the ball pnr’s with opportunities for the roller as well as Abmas  

    This will be a fun season.

  9. 80s was a great decade for teenager movies. There was a paradigm shift in advertising that focused on teenagers as well. That said these are my favorite 80s movies. 

    This is Spinaltap - one of my all time favorites

    Do the Right Thing - entertaining as hell

    Raising Arizona - my type of humor

    Shoah - I expected to be bored , but the conversations were enthralling

    Koyaanisqatsi - really good to see while stoned at the Varsity theater in the 80s and enjoyed it watching stoned in the 20s. 

    A great decade for foreign films introduced to the American market as well.

    I’m with you on that!

    *except for the Zimmerman part.

    I want Tim Ream to tutor Miles Robinson at the National camps this summer. Make Ream a special assistant this summer while he’s mending his broken arm. Robinson turned down a renewal and should be moving to Europe.

  11. Yttv has fs2 so I’ve got games set to be recorded. 

    Good news. US supposedly beat African power Senegal 2-1 in pre cup scrimmage.  

    Bad news. Cowell scored both goals and is suspended for first game.
