Pitino is laying the wood to the self proclaimed best coach in the world.

Pitino in NY, especially St John’s is just poetic to me. All the olds are flat out loving it, and I don’t know what Bill Murray has to do with St John’s but it’s awesome to see him in the crowd.

 

[parrott]

Think his son is an assistant.

Pitino is the best coach of our generation. He just wins, baby.

No kidding, I was also curious why Taylor Swift goes to so many Chiefs games. Is she from Kansas City or something?

His son is a UConn assistant

Maybe if I only worked 180 days a year and 1/4th of those were NTI I’d have more time to keep up with the assistants of all the colleges.

*Do any of you have a legitimate contact for donating shoes for people affected by the flooding?

They are mostly Heely's without the wheels (legal reasons). They all have plugs in them to prevent moisture/debris from getting inside.

I have over 1K pairs that are slightly scuffed and cannot be sold as new. Our customer wants us to destroy or donate, and I'd rather donate.

TIA.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Probably Red Cross. But I say you put back in the wheels.

Seriously though… Nice gesture.

 

[80 Proof]

It's not for flood victims, but this place would probably love all your shoes

Get more miles out of your used shoes.

Through our micro-enterprise program we send gently used shoes and clothing to entrepreneurs in developing countries, giving them the ability to start small businesses and break free from the cycle of poverty.

Samaritan's Feet is probably the best around. You would probably have to call them to discuss this kind of volume.

-Would really like to see this team at full strength at least a few more games. They've been such a joy in the program's current transition.

-We played fine. Top 4 Bama at home after a couple lack luster performances. Without 2 of our top 3 players. No shame there at all. Young guys getting some great reps.

-Big Time Rec BB season came to end right as baseball is firing up. First year of Wee Ball for little man. Finally able to get outside and do some work yesterday afternoon. Just need Rax to nut up and join the dynasty. We have several GYERO(or GYERO Adjacent) on the team.

-We have more than 1000 pair of shoes piled up by our back door. 😬LMK where you donate, I'll send all of ours.

-For my fellow neurodivergent friends, these ONO rollers are pretty nice. Same for these Mobii fidgets.

-The Magnus Carlsen JRE was him at his best. No political talk. Just a really interesting interview about something I had no prior knowledge about, Chess. Highly recommend.

In honor of National Tortilla chip Day I present Chuy's chips, salsa and creamy jalapeno dip.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

 

[B Rax]

I’m on a very strict diet so I’ve completely cut out all junk food but every Saturday night I order a large bag of Chuy’s chips and a 16oz creamy jalepeno dip, along with a piece of their tres leches cake and house the entire thing while binge watching dateline after drugging my kids with melatonin

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Just compromised the other 6.5 days of the week of your diet.

Honestly surprised that you never took it up.

If you want to learn/start; chess.com is invaluable. For a modest membership fee you get lessons, puzzles, etc. You can play bots online. The bots start at beginner level and as you advance, you can play more difficult ones. You can also play live games with other folks.

If nothing else, it's a great thing to teach your children.

If you want to learn about an intriguing chess player from the past, look up Paul Morphy on youtube. Fascinating guy, and one of the most elegant strategists the game has ever seen. He revolutionized chess, and honestly, he had zero competition; that's how advanced he was compared to players of his era. There wasn't chess theory then, as it exists today. If he lived today, and had access to "solved" databases and chess engines he'd probably be the GOAT.

The Legend: Paul Morphy

My doggie just plunked down on the back deck to sunbathe….finally, warming up. What a gal!

Just dropped some coin on Snake River Farms box ‘o beef. They are not just giving away the beef🫤.

Yankees caved to allow beards. Eff that shit. Hal should’ve leaned into the restriction. George is rolling over. What’s next? Cotton uniforms?

 

[WayneDougan]

Yankees couldn't stop the Mets from getting Soto. Not a serious team any longer.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Yanks spent their money well. Pen and rotation…Fortified all the holes except 3B. May get Vladdy at 1B, move Jazz to 3rd. Profit.

 

[ukwizard]

I think the team did well considering the circumstances but just ran out of steam at the end of both halves. However, the combination of 'studio dork' saying "It's impressive Alabama is doing this with Grant Nelson on the bench in foul trouble" and that assclown in the sport coat and New Blood Tee Shirt they kept showing, had me seething with anger most of the second half.

 

[anthonys735]

Good tres leches is pretty close to the very top dessert for me. One food I could eat myself sick with. Hummingbird cake is the other, which I have eaten myself to a very disgusting point.

Super serial post, sorry:

So in the span of a couple years, three of my husband’s and my friends dropped dead of widowmaker heart attacks in their 30s and 40s. In November I had a brush with death giving birth to our son, whose middle name comes from one of those friends.

Today my husband had a heart attack due to a 100% blockage in the widowmaker artery. He got to UC and they saved his life because he didn’t screw around when he started feeling off. Not out of the woods yet but they cleared the blockage. The surgeon gave me printouts of the imaging during the cath showing the blockage and…Jesus Christ. Horror show. By the grace of God he’s still here.

Since this thread is mostly dudes…please, please don’t wait if you have cardiac symptoms.

 

[jayroon]

-Butler and Jaxson practiced a bit today which is encouraging.

-Pope answered some good questions tonight like why don’t the best players play more minutes. To that he said it’s partly due to how much constant movement his offense demands ( where have you heard that before?)

-He said most offensive systems have breaks in them but not his.

-The other part is if players play too many minutes (like Amari) he sees a dip in their energy and efficiency. I’m sure he’s got insane amounts of data that back up that trend.

-It makes sense to me and will probably be how he handles minutes unless he switches up his offense (which no one wants).

-What’s baffling to me is that Matt Jones can’t seem to wrap his head around it.

Don't be sorry, this is an important message and I'm glad you posted. I'm so happy for you that your husband made it and hope he continues to improve.

I've been dealing with some weird health issues that I am worried could be heart related and scheduled an appointment last week.

So sorry to hear this and hoping for a full recovery.

If somebody has a heart attack in their 30s or 40s, that's often a sign that there's a significant genetic component involved. Lipoprotein (a), also known as Lp(a), is a marker that isn't checked in routine cholesterol screenings but is often highly elevated in these persons.

It's strongly determined by genetics, not lifestyle.

So for anybody having a heart attack at such a relatively young age, any siblings should also get tests done, lncluding the blood test for Lp(a). Children should also be checked once they grow up and reach that same age range.

A friend of mine started feeling bad about 4 miles out from the parking lot on the Siltstone trail here in Jefferson County in 2019.

Ended up going to the hospital that night and had a 90% LAD blockage. Got stented and four days later we were in my truck heading toward a Montana trip.

I’ve been to the emergency room twice thinking I was having a heart attack and it ended up being reflux each time. But I don’t fool around with chest pain.

 

[anthonys735]

Jesus, sorry pretzel.

I just finished Attia’s book and was planning on asking my Dr to include little a with this year's labs. Good call.

 

[ukwizard]

That's scary pretzel. I hope he gets well and everything is alright.
