The skeptic in me thinks it’s hard to quit on your own documentary and you better get plenty of empty gym footage. I’ve seen too many Boston “make it look like I’m playing defense but not pick up this foul” moves from him to give the benefit of the doubt.

He’s a losing player, this year. Could prove me wrong in year two, though!

That’s all the snark from me tonight. I held it in for a full day.
 
Well the roads suck, but not too bad heading north on 75 this morning. #Jeep

First attempt at dry aging beef was a success. 42 days on a 14lb prime ny strip. Extremely tender, intense flavor. Only downside really was how much gets wasted trimming the funk off.

T-minus less than a week before jr comes into the world. Shew bubby.
 
I applaud how Boston has handled his disappointing season but he’s probably #2 after Skal for biggest bust.

Actually, he is not a bust at all. Given you are 18 games into a freshman season, that by all evidence is a detriment to mind, body, and soul, it is a wonder these young men have the moxy to continue to battle through this. With UK's yearly expectations, what they are experiencing this season only compounds matters, especially for highly regarded freshmen, and that goes for teams everywhere.

Throw in the fact that Cal has continually displayed the x's and o's prowess of a YMCA junior pro league dad, that will also take it's toll on fragile minds, especially when they don't know from one moment to the next if they are coming out for even the slightest mistake.

I know you like to play the "I am a college basketball" role, and often you are pretty good, but not now. You are as bad as your $9M/yr coach who refuses to look at the big picture and what it takes to actually get ready to even take the court in these crazy times.

Did you expect him to come out and be a 20/5/5 guy immediately.......with the lineup that surrounds him? If so, check your Wilson at the door, because you are shooting bricks.

Do better, big guy. These aren't easy times.
 
- Pet peeve during days like this...people who post "HOW ARE THE ROADS IN ________????". Well, guess what, numbnuts, they're slick. Why do you expect your area to be that much different than every other town/county surrounding you? Obviously, if there's a road closure, that's different, but otherwise, guess what....it's slick.

- The problem with calling Boston a "bust" is the same problem we have with language in general. Words that used to be more exclusive in nature are now used to describe EVERYTHING. To me, a "bust" as a freshman is a kid who you literally cannot play because they're so bad. Of course, part of the reason Boston plays so much is because we don't have any other options. But I still wouldn't call him that. A terrible disappointment? Sure. And like someone said, put him on almost any other Cal team, and he's probably doing just fine. But Cal's roster mismanagement put him in a really difficult spot to begin with, and he hasn't done anything to dig himself out of it.

- Very interesting that Cameron Meals tweeted last night about Shep being cool with Cal. Gotta believe that was, if not orchestrated, at least approved....either as a sign that Kentucky can enter the fray, a way to get BJW off their backs, or as a way to keep adding to the Reed mystique. Hope he gets to play in summer events so we can see how he measures up against something other than the 13th Region.

- If you thought Len Elmore was bad when he was calling games courtside, he's even worse calling games from his basement. That NW/IU game was rough enough WITHOUT his "takes".

- Doesn't matter what I use as a sauce, a marinate, a seasoning, etc....crock-pot chicken always ends up tasting the exact same.
 
-February is just awesome. F*ck this month. 6" of snow Monday with below freezing temps basically the next 10 days. 17 days left.

-Big pine trees outside of the office took a f*cking beating.

-Boston is absolutely a bust. Not sure how anyone can say otherwise. Top 5 recruit that consistently rose up the rankings last season and was on TV every week. Consensus Top 10 pick in this draft. He has a great attitude but he's got a long way to go. In reality he needs another year to get rid of all those bad habits and put on some muscle. In Cal World, he's gone as a late 1st - mid 2nd rd pick. In 3 weeks he's going to be a professional, he's not a kid anymore, so he better get used to it.

-That's 4 pretty solid failures(Hami, Skal, Whitney, Boston) by Cal. His only 2 top 5 recruits since 2016 were both huge disappointments. Believe the mind f*ck game he plays with those dudes may need to be revisited as well. Of course he has guys like Quickley, Washington, Herro, and SGA, which all outplayed their rankings, but the busts are racking up.

-Cancel culture hit up Gina Corano. That was only a matter of time. She picked the wrong team for Disney and Hollywood. Should be good fodder for the happy hour though. Congrats, WCC!!

-2 masks. 🤣 K.

Rolleyes at those trying to word salad around facts.

In sports, a bust is one of two people:

1.) A consensus elite recruit or prospect who falls miserably short of expectations (Boston)
2.) A high draft pick who does the same

It's completely irrelevant that he "would be a good player if he stuck around", b/c the odds of that happening were, are, and will be 0%

I've grown to respect the kid, b/c he's NOT ONCE even shown a glimpse of bad body language, sulking, etc despite having a nightmare of a season, both personally & as a team. He's a good kid, who works as hard/harder than anyone, and I'm rooting for him.

But, his one and only season at Kentucky was a bust. Period.

I mean, I hate cancel culture as much as the next guy but maybe stop bringing up nazis to excuse your dumbass political views. Hitler has only been a no-no for 80 years now - especially in an industry dominated by Jewish people.

So hard for me to feel too sorry for this stupid F’ing meathead, who not only lost her job on a hit show but F’d up her chance to be the lead in a planned spin-off. All because she’s a dumb human being following a piece of shit.

I thought the Anths of the world were all about “personal responsibility”?

Lol, gotcha. Knew you'd loved that. I believe nazi and Hitler comparisons have been pretty freely used by all your people the last 5 years. Wonder why they weren't canceled?

Also, I'm for any "woke cancel culture" story I can toss your way.

You’ll have to be specific. I don’t keep tabs on this shit. Only reason I know about this one is because I read an article this morning.

Lady is dumb. Really dumb.
 
I would absolutely smash Gina Carano, whether she makes dumb comparisons or not. And she could also probably kick my ass, too.

Actors are almost universally stupid. They probably should just never tweet or use social media anyway if the consequences of saying something stupid or that can be taken out context are that high. Hire that out and be done.

Rich Brooks is the only person who has ever actually done twitter right.
 
We had a teacher on a board meeting yesterday who publicly stated they are concerned about traffic once school starts back up. As a reason not to go back. Out loud. On a zoom call. In front of thousands of parents.

Teacher’s unions might be the most powerful labor force on this planet.
 
* I miss the good ole days before Cancel Culture, when we were all free to do, act, behave, and speak however we want with absolutely zero repercussions.

So anywhoo, if y'all need me, I'll be on my way to the grocery store in a pressed/starched button down and Gucci loafs, just in case I run into a client. Gotta always be on my a-game!

* You can't call a guy a bust before he's even played half a freshman season. Re. Dick. You. Luss.

Freshman Stats:
12.5 points / 3.6 rebounds / 1.7 assists / 1.4 steals / 40.7% fg / 29.3% 3pt / 64.4% ft
11.9 points / 5.3 rebounds / 1.3 assists / 1.2 steals / 36.9% fg / 25.0% 3pt / 78.4% ft


One of those guys was a top-3 recruit who sucked ass, was a total loser, we all hated him, he was a bust, scumbag, POS, complete waste of a scholarship.........who is also our #4 all-time leading scorer. The other guy is BJ Boston.

* 2 masks, anth. That's the solution nowadays. Also, you should SEAL the mask if possible.

Cannot believe nobody's thought of this before.

* Our Mayor basically banned Mardi Gras, and completely shut down the French Quarter. For folks in the hospitality/service industry, this month is a gold mine. Not this year, though.

Good news -- she's hiring 200 impacted workers for a 1 week period at $100/day to pick up trash, hand out masks, and promote social distancing. Can't be on unemployment and must show paystub of recently impacted job to qualify.

She and her staff also got the vaccine yesterday, blowing that stunt up on social media, even though only 65+ and certain high risk people/jobs are eligible.

Go F yourself all the way, toots.

* The only players on the team I don't hate right now -- Mintz and Allen. Great dudes. Sucks they have to be a part of this trash receptacle fire.

* How's everyone's GME portfolio doing?
 
I'd honestly rather fight LA freeway/rush hour traffic during a 28-car pileup including multiple tractor trailers than the pickup line traffic at Sacred Henpeck Academy.


F those people and their suburban traffic jams. F them hard.

Corporate America “Oh, I’m sorry, you’re white and an outspoken conservative. No, we can’t have that. CANCELLED.”

“‘Man, it was great when we all jumped like a herd of sheep with generic BLM HASHTAG FISTS UP after the fact.”
****meanwhile cities were burning and somehow everyone became chicken shit at calling out total destruction of public & private property ****

Touch society today. Stay woke, tho!
 
To be fair, I too am concerned about traffic once school starts back. This past year has a been a blessing to the working class as the roads have been a lot easier to navigate during those times.
 
It's actually really easy to avoid being "cancelled" as a white conservative. Like, really easy. It's a simple process:

1. Don't compare your circumstances to being a Jew during Hitler's reign on an Internet medium accessible by literally everyone

I'm a white conservative and this method has worked outstandingly well for me for 32 years, hit me up for more tips on how to defeat woke commies.
 
But let's imagine for a second that you're a Republican, and people find out.

Is it still safe to leave your home if you live in Kentucky? Asking for a friend.
