  1. The big guy for Auburn looks like Kramer’s little brother against the karate class in the alley.
  2. Tennessee is currently 0-14 from 3 point land. It’s hard to win a basketball game like THAT.
  3. Utah does have some crazy liquor laws as I mentioned above. SC used to require using the mini-bottles for liquor. I remember people trying to order Long Island Iced Teas and being warned that it would be very big, and VERY expensive with a bottle each of vodka, gin, rum and tequila. EDIT: Just thinking about that makes me want to puke. 😂 .
  4. She’s made about $17Mil just in prize money, and endorsements are huge in tennis. We know people who use a service like NetJets just because it makes them more efficient. It doesn’t have to be Mommy and Daddy’s plane, though it may be. It’s not uncommon for professional athletes to travel this way, though it did not end well for Payne Stewart.
  5. That’s interesting. I’ve never heard it put quite that way, and it makes some sense. I left after the French Connection, then lost track of them. It was too hard to keep up back then, and I guess I didn’t miss much. My SIL worked in the major donor field at PSU. She knew who Terry Pegula was!
  6. OK, Jerruh. 😊 It’s a gamble, and I was half thinking they would wait until early next season, but the team has more leverage now. I’m mostly worried about concussions, so how they structured things is important.
  7. So…..you just let him walk? It’s a gamble, but the Jerry Jones Way would be to wait until his cost dramatically increases. You trust your medical people, and pray for the best IMO. I’m more concerned about concussions than a pulled hammy or a broken hand. If he went full-Tua it could be a HUGE albatross. CB is a position that is supposed to create contact rather than do everything possible to avoid it, so…. I think we got a deal, but I haven’t seen the details and where some out’s might be built in.
  8. I just stumbled on this article, and I love her more than ever! Not only did she do a good deed for others, but the video clip of her is awesome. She may travel by private jet, but she loves the metro! https://talksport.com/tennis/2983531/jessica-pegula-indian-wells-wta-private-jet/
  9. It sure beats the Jerry Jones method of waiting for the market to go thru the roof before finally pulling the trigger.
  10. So you’re one of the better losers! 😊 I wonder if Edna from accounting still has the leading bracket based upon friendly looking mascots.
  11. He was about 40 for that match, and I clearly remember that energy. Get a night crowd at the US Open pumped, and you’ve got an amazing experience.
  12. What worries me is coming back toward a more normal level of turnovers. If we are closer to average there, that is taking some points off the board.
  13. Shhh, she’s our undercover secret agent behind enemy lines.
  14. Dead last would also be impressive, in its own way.
  15. Yes, he always plays nice early. I’m kinda curious to see how this goes, since I don’t see them as much of a threat regardless. He got paid a lot to say the right stuff. The pouty part will come later. But how long does it take?
  16. That’s very cool, and it’s starting to look like a football stadium! I guess it’s because the existing stadium is partially below ground and the new one having some roof, but the new one looks much BIGGER. We were right below a seem in the roof at the Rockpile. The seem leaked, and when it rained hard it came down on us like it was shot out of a firehouse! 😂 Ahh, good times…..
  17. Utah doesn’t make it easy! We went to Park City one time and they all kinds of crazy rules! They will sell you 3.2% beer if you’re not careful, and you have to pay for membership or something at some places. I had been going to a place almost daily, and late in the week a guy asks about my membership. Huh? No booze for you! I think moonshine and meth should also be indicated on the map in some way, just to be fair.
  18. Sometimes the decent thing to do is help people who need it, even if they don’t know they need help. They can decline, but at least you try to do the right thing.
  19. Of course. He can’t go broke immediately, it’s designed for dragging that out. My wife had a good friend who was a big college tennis player. She worked in wealth management for one of the big banks in a division that just did athletes. It’s a real thing with all these guys going broke within a few years.
  20. I would like to thank Roger Goodell for introducing me to all this stuff. Gee, now I feel more worldly.
  21. He can beat your ass at a buffet!!!
  22. Well, your math homework might not kill you as fast as trying to sail from Iceland to Greenland with faulty celestial knowledge. Kids these days, they just need some skin in the game!
  23. No need to get personal, he’s just asking a question! 😊
  24. THIS is what Roger Goodell does for us.
