GYERO

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

I’m fine with casual Sunday dinner out somewhere but hosting a neighborhood dinner on Sunday night sounds about as appetizing as a Monday or Tuesday happy hour.

Laura Rutledge could move next store and ask to come over in a bikini while I grill chicken wings on a Sunday night and I’d pass.

And don’t get me stated on Monday or Tuesday happy hour event. I DIDN’T SEE YOUR RESPONSE WE’RE GOING TO DRAKE’S ST MATTHEWS FREE APPS AND BEER NEXT MONDAY AT 4:00.

Get fng pumped, toots. I want to go home, hit the pavement, see my family, eat an agreeable home cooked meal, and watch some tv before falling asleep around 10:00.

There's really no better mid-week activity than men's league. Breaks up the week perfectly, although I'd prefer it to be on Thursday rather than Tuesday.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Yep. Our league (20 weeks) is Wednesday at 6pm. 112 dudes - *perfecto*

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

My standing Thursday evening tennis match in the summer/fall and paddle tennis match in the winter fng hits the spot.

Get out of the house. See some buds. Profit.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

I’ll tell you what of all the things GYERO has given me, Richie’s use of toots and it’s creep into my own usage might be my favorite.

Btw, Vern is really minimizing the Fultz situation. Yes, he was injured.

...but his ordeal is/was one of the more bizarre sports deals I can think of for a #1/high profile guy. He's been gradually coming out of it for awhile now, but acting like "he was injured" and that's it, is a very weird and false take.

He was essentially Barkley with a golf club for a few years, that's not injury. Btw, seeing Chuck finally overcome that has been great, the mind is a wild thing sometimes.

But his was caused by injury, Barkley's was not. Fultz shot just fine at Washington. Then he got hurt and had to totally learn how to shoot again. It was a rare case but still rooted in injury to his shoulder. Simmons is like MKG, neither could ever shoot.

If they were Pokémon:

hussy evolves to hen which evolves into toots

 

[anthonys735]

Avoid Mon and Tuesday night plans and I'm pretty agreeable the rest of the week.

 

[_Chase_]

I will never understand Richie not playing golf. Truly bizarre, and after seeing the picture he posted of him and his old man playing years ago, it makes even less sense.

Is this a shotgun start playing on both nines? That's a lot. But agree, Wednesday is perfect.

Dude, there were countless insider "deep dives" The Athletic style into the curious case of Markelle Fultz.

As mentioned, he couldn't even pull the trigger on a FT, while still looking fairly normal off the contested bounce...for a LONG TIME. This was well after being 100% cleared and deemed healthy by the best athletic physicians in the world man....good grief.

You must be a cousin. He had some LEGIT issues going on upstairs -- I'm not poking fun one bit, it was brutal to watch, but gimme a break with 'getting hurt and learning how to shoot again'. LMAO


There isn't another situation like his EVER in high level basketball, b/c it was that unique. His injury certainly wasn't.

No, they are all starting at #1. Jesus.

 

[anthonys735]

Let's be honest, Vern's creditability hinges on being a pretty good honk style baller back in college. He strays from that line and it get's pretty ugly.

 

[VernHatton52]

At least I have some basketball credibility. Your bball takes are all recycled/reworded BBdk/chad takes. You've never had an original basketball thought. Stick to cooking and traveling, Bourdain.

 

[B.B.d.K.]

Now Vern is taking shots at legends with mental health issues who've since passed on. Wow. What a POS

I always knew his little pussy bleeding heart act was some sort of facade.

 

[VernHatton52]

Eat shit, Tiny.

I skim your posts so I can't really tell you how I feel about your basketball specific takes.

 

[VernHatton52]

Put me on ignore for all I care.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

I chose you, toots!

 

[anthonys735]

No way, I only put those weirdos on ignore.

Gotta give props when due -- Anth is the new BBdK of late in terms of provoking real life secret text-worthy anger in posters.

Didn't think he had it in him, being such an amazing person. 😚 #proud

I stopped enjoying it. I will start again, older and wiser to better control my competitive temper.

Right now though, I’d have to sacrifice other things I currently enjoy more than golf. I run 6 days per weeks, lift 3 days per week and play tennis in the summer/fall and paddle in the winter.

The Lass is pretty cool about Dad time but right now with a 3 year old and 4.5 year old that are both wild hooligans if I was gone 5.5 hours every Saturday and Sunday she wouldn’t be amused.

Currently on Saturday I run 3.5 miles in the morning, then typically play tennis for 2 hours in the afternoon , feel amazing and get to spend time with the family by the pool.

Once they’re older, more self sufficient and probably want nothing to do with me.. I’ll be all in and try to enjoy it.

If you’d heard some of the stories about her, you might reconsider…Shewee 😲

 

[anthonys735]

Believe you can complete 18 in just under 2 hours and 45 minutes, Rich. Your life isn't complete without playing the sport game.

I once told some asshole 2 years ago when he kept asking me why I don’t play that I didn’t want to look like his fatass only to ride around in a cart for 5 hours and drink beer.

I thought that's what we were here for. At least that's what we've been doing for the 16 years I've been posting.

 

[drxman1]

Loved Ritchie’s pics from Charleston. Glad he had fun. Couldn’t help but think this is how he struts around that place.

Very well. But I am a weirdo. Make no mistake. Just not the kind you're referring to. I'm Bill Walton weird.

Yup. 56 2man teams from start-to-finish & team match play within flight each week, play your own ball, aggregate points list for the duration + cash for low individual & team scores & gross/net skins weekly. Side bets out the wazoo.

I'm not aware of any men's league in the city, or anywhere else for that matter, that's even close.

Woodhaven had a similar "Men's Night" participation, 96 weekly cap, but blind draw scramble 6-somes...was fun on occasion, but not an actual 'league'.

Yeah unless it’s National Championship Monday and the Cats are playing, it’s a hard no on any and all Monday/Tuesday social activities. Just trying to get through them. Work out. Take care of work. Dad. Husband.

-take a moment and watch this. Best rock drummer in a long time.

 

[Mossip]

My thing with Fultz is.... injury or not... he's not that good. Actually, he sucks ass as far as NBA pg's go. So does Simmons.

 

[Bonzo Cat]

- Neil Peart 2.0

- Met some friends who were in for a wedding downtown Saturday and tried hitting up 3 pretty prominent establishments in The Brown, 21c and Neighborhood Market at the Omni only to find the first two not serving until 5:00 and the third closed. Not sure if that's normal for these places or due to the labor shortage, but not a good look for the high end lodges. Can't think of the last hotel I was in that didn't start pouring at brunch on a weekend.

Settled on Sidebar and was turbo impressed by their brown lineup. All the ratites from the top distilleries and some tasty burgers as well.

- The height of sports blasphemy - 7 inning double headers and starting extras with a man on 2nd. Untouch this mess you created, Manfred.

- How long before 'Suns in 4' guy is on one of those PPV fights with a former fighter? Have to think that's in the works.

- Amazon Prime Day doesn't seem to be quite the spectacle the site cut its teeth on.

Who cares about Fultzasucka?

 

[krazykats]

Imagine paying somebody on average about $35M a year who is scared to shoot even free throws.

For those that didn’t watch the game, Simmons was 1 foot from the basket with Gallinari behind him after a nice spin move, and Trey Young the only person around the basket but on the other side and Simmons passed the ball instead of dunking it.

He is that scared. I don’t even know how to describe that, but he answered the question in the post game and admitted he was concerned about Gallinari from behind.

 

[funKYcat75]

It shouldn’t bother me that you keep writing ‘Trey’, but here we are.

 

[PTI (pti)]

Trey an idiot.

Back to lurking…

That's it! Thank you.

Great having a Big Train on here.

Back to drinking and dodging raindrops in Destin.

Butchertown Grocery, arguably the best or at least the toughest prime slot table in town the last several years just bit the dust.

Downtown ls booming.

-Sidebar is and has always been fantastic. Top 3 burger in Louisville & top flight bourbon & cocktail/beer program.

Ah man no more gnocchi?!?!

That sucks.
