  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Banged his kidney(?) in a collision with a Blazer. Immediately went to the lockerroom.
  6. I assume Holiday had an injury last postseason in Boston? And of course the Wizards traded away a potential All Star.
  7. Cocaine Curry (because he’s white) was briefly popular, if wildly ambitious, last season.
  8. Credence has a speakeasy. This is like finding an unexploded WWII bomb in Memorial. They could be serving repackaged Whataburger and I could give a shit. They have a speakeasy. We’re excited. Medium Rare is pretty great for portion control and all that. I think I remember it includes a salad of the day. Good parking as well for that part of town. Free restaurant parking in Midtown, I’m not complaining.
  9. Midnight PST? I’ve seen and been told 8pm CST Friday.
  10. That’s kind of interesting. So it’s an examination of how Pelinka mind fucked Nico?
  11. As always I’m in, but I assume they’re going to use more reenactments. 12 hours of Peter Coyote narrating historical paintings is a heavy lift for most viewers.
  12. Klosterman excels at explaining culture and society. Did Bill really have him on him to talk hoops?
  13. Technically. The first serving is in the restaurant. Pictured above. The second serving is exactly the same and made to go.
  14. Good old school sub. Got a slice while I waited. Would recommend.
  15. What time will E3 be available on Fridays?
  16. The Hoops Collective made a good Reed point after the Bucks game. Windhorat said that the reason they were excited about Reed at Kentucky was his offensive skill set + playmaking on defense. Steals, blocks, and deflections. I think the game is slowing down for him some and he’s putting his hands and body in the right places on defense to become a disruptor. I don’t he’s ever going to be a lock down defender at his size, but he’s going to blow some shit up.
  17. Anything on James Franklin and piggy? He would kill from them there. I hope it doesn’t happen.

    TexMex

    Not bad for $2.20 (there were 4 enchiladas there).
  19. Sarr can really play. Super long and shoots well. Maybe middle class Wemby is the comparison? The Hawks probably want a do over of the 2024 Draft. Sheppard playing lights out. I think they’re playing him about the right amount of minutes right now, but he’s pushing for more.
  20. Gym is interchangeable for arena, i referenced Toyota Center in the same paragraph, and luxury boxes in the same sentence.
  21. Toyota Center has the best sight lines of any pro arena I’ve been in. Glad they’re upgrading the seats. I’m sure they’ll start bitching about the luxury boxes soon, but they don’t need a new gym.
