If you ever get to Montreal, make sure to check out Wilensky’s. Fried bologna with salami, swiss cheese, and mustard on a roll. It’s a must whenever I get up there.

Black Mirror S7 recently released on Netflix. Looking forward to getting started, but I’m in the middle of like 3 shows right now.

I love pitch because it’s such a “cerebral” game. It’s also amazing how you can have a teammate that you just mesh with. If I had to play a game of pitch for my life and I get to pick my partner, it’s my boy Fitzy. We are able to communicate telepathically.

If you choose to shoot the moon, you need to win every trick and get all 4 points. You automatically win the game. I’ve only done it successfully like 3-4 times. Are you a bid to win guy?

If you bid 3 and don’t get it you get “set” and have 3 points deducted. The opposing team can earn up to 4 points. We call them “pitch hands,” but yes, 2-9 hands can be re-drawn. You can’t bid if you get a pitch hand though. In your games can a team choose to “shoot the moon” during the bidding process?

Yeah, I play pitch which is a very similar game to my knowledge. I was born in Rochester and lived there until I was 5 years old. My father always played Euchre with his friends. I grew up in Auburn in CNY, and we all played pitch and spades all the time. No one played euchre.

I was pretty good at most sports growing up. Ended up focusing on lacrosse in 9th grade and playing in college, but I played football, baseball, some soccer when I was really young, and CYO basketball. I was never very good at basketball. I don’t know what it is, but I just couldn’t get the hang of it. I stopped playing in like 7th or 8th grade bc it was just embarrassing. 😂

Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke on Hulu. 3 episode docu-series. Crazy Mormon wife/mother, but so much more interesting than that. Highly recommend, but it’s a tough watch if you are super sensitive around child abuse kinda stuff. Especially E3 had me a bit choked up. Interested to hear others’ opinions.

Keeps chasing that NIL money!

oof! 😥

Tell me how I should feel about this. Mike is saying he’s a 5.

Sorokin. Strome and Wilson got the assists.

I fart in your general direction.

Looks like she knows her way around a tater tot.

I’d take him too.

I’d give up 30 and one of our 2nd rounders to get Jahdae Barron. In a heartbeat.

Yeah, looks like Gonzaga and UNC are both pursuing him hard.

I’m pretty sure Helena Eagen is pregnant with Mark S’s baby.

My first born for Dedan Thomas Jr! Long shot, as I see him staying on the west coast, but a guy can hope.

Wasn’t it also your nickname in high school?

I’m sorry. The transfer portal rules and NIL are ruining college sports. With very few exceptions, any player that transfers should have to sit out a season. My interest in college basketball right now is at an all time low, and I’ve always been a huge fan. Probably doesn’t help matters that Syracuse has been absolute dog crap for several years now.

Classless prick bag. He should have taken the Lakers job.

Kenny Lofton. Early in his career he did a couple seasons in the NY-Penn league with my hometown Auburn Astros. I was 8 or 9 and the ballpark was only a few blocks from my house, so I used to go watch practice almost every single day. I guess a lot of the players and coaches just got used to me being there. Anyway, Kenny would call me out onto the field and let me try to catch fly balls with him during BP. He also would send me to the Wilson Farms store to get him snacks and soda, and would always give me enough money to buy myself something. Super nice guy, and back then literally no one knew anything about him.

Floyd got 10 million. Bosa gets 12.6? Yeah, I’d make that gamble any day of the week. Joey is elite when healthy and he’ll be playing with extra motivation to earn that final big deal. Hell yea. Go ahead BBB.

Von seemed to be a great teammate. He couldn’t help the injury. Best of luck to him unless he has the stones to sign with an AFC east team or KC. 😆
