Monday Post-Weekenders:
- The great thing about guys who have been around as long as Tim McGraw is that they don't F around at all at their concerts- HIT after HIT after HIT after HIT. No obscure songs off the new album. Just straight heat. Really good show and a beautiful evening on the Riverbend. Few things I like more in summer than that moment after the sun sets at Riverbend.
- The lass and her friend were actually more pumped about Billy Currington, which perplexed me. Currington is okay, I guess, but liking him more than Tim freaking McGraw?
- Have always considered this and in the last few years have come around to truly believing it...I think concerts are better taken in sober- or at least not completely drunk. Reason being, I went to so many good shows in my 20s where I couldn't even tell you the set list the next day. It was fun but a blur. The last few concerts I've hit where I've either been completely sober or buzzed have been much better.
- You can tell Ulis is a natural born leader. Seems the kid goes out of his way to connect with all the newcomers. I love that.
- I don't see a downside to taking a 7-footer who was ranked as high as #35 in a LOADED '16 class and played really well in big international games, especially considering:
a) We lack depth inside this year, including the lack of a classic banger.
b) 2016 is not a good bigs class.
c) Calipari has done a helluva job with bigs here- from the OADs who improved all year to WCS to Harrellson.
- LOVING this news that UK is coming on strong for DeAaron Fox. Kid may be my favorite player in the class. Perfect for Cal's system. There's a Texas guy who posts on Rafters who has been saying for months Fox really wanted UK to get involved.
- I've been patient with True Detective, but it looks to be a dud.
- And "Ballers" just gets worse and worse. I'm watching it BECAUSE of how bad it is. Just a horrible show- bad writing, bad acting, nonsensical plot lines.
- Because the lass doesn't much like it and she's the one with Netflix, I'm moving at a snail's pace with House of Cards, but I love that show. Vintage Spacey.
- MMA pretty much disgusts me, and MMA Guy and the fanbase overall has as much to do with it as the actual product.
- Aside from the classics (Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers), Toronto may have the best jerseys in baseball. Clean, classic, unique.
- Anth is right about August in one way- there are always quite a few "early Fall" days which are just beautiful. Problem is they're mixed in with some of the hottest, muggiest, most brutal days of the year. Friday/Saturday were wonderful. Yesterday was a bit much.
