* The Panthers fired Matt Rhule over the weekend, in the 3rd year of a 7 year, $62 million contract. That means they still owe him another $40 million to not coach the team.
It's incomprehensible to me how so many of these owners (David Tepper is a hedge fund manager worth > $18 billion) can be such a tremendous business success in one area, and such a complete failure in another.
* What kind of asshole auto-populates the bottom of their emails with "Best?"
Like, wtf does that even mean? What language or culture does this come from?
Dear drxman.
Happy birthday. Enjoy your Porsche.
Best,

Who speaks like this? Best WHAT?? Best??
* Friendly reminder that UKO hates Tyler Childers (and Sturgill Simpson). Thinks they're both overrated. lol okay.
* Amazing finish to the Astros-Mariners game. Bottom 9. 2 on, 2 out. Down 2. Best hitter at the plate for the 'Stros. Mariners call a total audible and bring in a starter (last year's Cy Young winner) to face him. Alvarez launches one about 450 feet for the walk off homer. Incredible.
* Nasty cold this week. No biggie. Probably just COVID.
* How did Ginuwine not have more follow up success? Makes no sense.
This is what is referred to as a "panty dropper."
* Dwight Yoakam stands alone as the most underrated country artist of all time. Top 5.....
1> I Sang Dixie
2> Guitars, Cadillacs
3> Streets of Bakersfield
4> Dim Lights, Thick Smoke
5> Turn it on, Turn me up, Turn me loose
* We're Kentucky. We'll never have to worry about loading up the non-conference schedule with marquee opponents. I just wish we'd focus more on:
- elite made-for-tv tournaments (looking at you, Maui Invitational)
- true home-and-away games
Not gonna happen under Calipari, but that's my two cents.
* Levis is a maybe, and Oscar is having knee surgery. Great week for a kick in the nuts.
* I'm not suggesting any of you singles start trolling for booty on Linkedin, but it's incredible how many dope profile pics you see on there. Gals really pull out all the stops for their pro head shot, I suppose.
Footnote: I can see Bonzo doing work on there. Or trying, anyways.
* Absolutely loving all the badassery going on with the war right now. The Ukrainian commander who (supposedly) opened a Twitter account in April '22 talking s*** about blowing up the Crimean bridge. What a badass. Putin responding by bombing civilians. He is such a badass. Zelensky (who was a stand up comedian 3 years ago) begging for pro-active nuclear war and only owning 1 t-shirt -- that guy is SUCH a badass. I just love war and all the murder and devastation, all on the US taxpayer's $100 billion dime. Soooooo badass.
* Speaking of New Orleans -- I've still got 2 bedrooms available for the Sugar Bowl. Taking reservations now. 🥺
* CMD came back and posted for like 2 days, then disappeared again. Truth be told, his two days worth of posts sucked.
