Re: GYER24-0
Thursday Randoms:
- SportsCenter had a pretty cool mini-doc segment on Douglas/Tyson last night with Jeremy Schaap. Just got me thinking about the similarities between Iron Mike and Tiger Woods. Those dudes were riding as high as any athletes ever. No one was bigger, transcending sports. Then, seemingly one big event (Douglas fight, Tiger's fight with his wife) and it's over. Nothing was ever the same. Careers collapsed.
- I miss the old days when you were first legal and drinking out anywhere was a great time, even just saddling up in the bar area at Applebees or B-dubbs and drinking Bewtuses for 5-6 hours. Couldn't tell you the last time I did that.
- I love Kanye. I love an eccentric genius- and I think he is. I think his rap skills and catalog are tremendous. But if he were really such a proponent of artistry, Beck is the last dude he should go after. Dude plays like 10 instruments. This isn't Taylor Swift. And for Beyonce? I love her booty and, for what it is, her songs (ones she doesn't even write) aren't bad, but she's the most overrated person on the planet. Beck handled it like a pro. What more does he have to prove?
- Towns has been doing a little hotdogging on the rim of late. I've noticed it. I don't blame Cal for going nuts. It's Karl being himself. Love the kid but he needs to be lit up on occasion. If anyone deserves it and at the same time can take getting chewed out, it's Towns. Lesson learned for the whole team.
- Brickey? What kind of ******** choice is that? He wasn't even as good or fun as Phil Henderson.
- Finished "Bluegrass"- what a terrible story. I think the courts got it right, though.
