-deformed heel > tar heel

-sabalenko is listed at 6'0", 175 lbs. Sheesh.

-there was some talk here recently about night clubs in Lebanon back in the 60s. My parents attended some shows there and have some newspaper clippings. My mom was just talking about seeing Little Richard there.

Tina Turner, Little Richard, James Brown, BB King, Otis Redding, The Supremes, CCR, Jimi Hendrix, and many others played there. The club owner said he booked most of them at $250 for the night.

Here's a couple of articles/interviews with Obie Slater talking about some of the acts that played there:

Google "Obie Slater" for lots of local news articles and interviews with Obie, who booked a lot of those artists to play there.

Been having periodic foot/achilles/calf pain for years. Turns out- according to X-ray- I have a deformed heel … so I am neither a p**** nor falling apart due to old age.

That was the Chitlin' Circuit.

Club Cherry was the stop in Lebanon.

Lyric was the stop in Lex.

Ranking of top 5 idiotic types of protesting:
  1. Hunger strikes: it amazes me that anyone would care if someone went on a hunger strike. It seems like the most childish form of protest. My son used to do this when we served lima beans. But apparently Gandhi and Al Sharpton have done this as well - yet people actually took them seriously.
  2. Blocking traffic: My family could be falsely imprisoned but if somebody blocks a highway to protest their cause and it causes me to be late, I'd likely take the government's side on it. Just seems like a way to piss people off.
  3. Pouring paint on art work in museums: Similar to the blocking traffic, just a dick move.
  4. Interrupting a sporting event: the audience who attends games doesn't give af about your cause so you're just going to make people mad at you.
  5. Catching yourself of fire: I'd argue this one is just the hunger strike to the extreme. It's kind of bad ***, but too high risk low reward to be effective. Plus, you'll likely never know if it worked or not because you'll be dead.

🏀🔔Cats with a missed opportunity to play the Philly game against Penn…. Should be at the Palestra.😢

🤡Louisville flexing against Murray and a congaline of PATSIES…can’t wait to murder their 10-win posturing asses in November.

🌊First weekend to relax in a while. Labor Day last second bop down to shore with little man, extending summer. Clams. Fun. Waves were humongous. Scary.

🥋Advancing through the ranks, my son was invited to participate in the Taekwondo demonstration squad. He’s doing his JCVD splits and all this crazy stuff as a newly minted 10yo. If anything, he’s doing real exercise, learning respect and kicking ***. Highly recommend.

🏈PSU v Delaware, Army v UMass. Checking boxes to attend family alumni football games. Returning favor for dragging 10 folks to the UK/USC debacle last year.

🖕🏻big boss from ATL came into office yesterday and was talking UGA smack. Eff those ******-driving cocksuckers. I hate their fanbase only second to Tennessee. Smug pricks need to be taken out.

Not typically one to judge a book by its cover but this gentleman here is GUILTY of something



What a missed opportunity by the writers of Justified to move to Detroit and not just use this whole Bardstown storyline for the current season. Can you imagine the snake oil grin from Booker Noe as he gives Raylan the wink and the gun as he strides by on some random Nelson County sidewalk?

When Clay Travis isn't trying to be Ann Coulter's twink bottom, he's a really good writer. This is a solid read:


My predictions:
  • All sports will soon be pay per view
  • Revenues in those sports will take a hit
  • We'll watch a lot fewer sports as random dog-**** games won't be covered (at least covered well).

A good article. A little dramatic and didn’t mention an obvious: the nfl and college sports simply won’t be able to charge as much for television rights because no one will afford it - so it’s not just ESPN and cable that will suffer. But yes, a major change is coming.

Every game will be a la carte with variable pricing the way stadiums currently utilize.
I'm worried it's going to be variable pricing based on the information they know about you. Like they are going to analyze your watching history and your income (because they can easily estimate that with the data they have, and charge you a price estimated on what you'll be willing to pay.

The 2-3 best things I've seen him write in the past were all sports-business type pieces. That seems to be his wheelhouse.

* Credit where due, UofL's helmet game was strong last night. Imagine if UK was willing to do some things like that, break out the Cat roaring over the UK logo or the leaping Cat logo from the 70s.

* Bengals had to pay Burrow, but it really gets hard for them moving forward. They need to win a Super Bowl this year or next year with the surrounding talent that will soon be departing. I watched the Steelers go through it with Rothliesberger, and the Chiefs looked like hot garbage with Kelce out last night. The only way to survive the bajillion $$$ QB deal is to hit the lottery on almost all your draft picks. No room for error.

* I've had two days that are hard to explain when it comes to customer service at big-box stores and restaurants. Tried to buy something at two different stores, and could not find a soul to help me give them my money. Bizarrely, also spent 30 min in Chick Fil A drive-thru this week. Got handed the wrong order twice and still arrived home with the wrong order, but in typical CFA fashion, they apologized profusely and gave me gift cards for three future visits. MrsJDrum says the Universe (or my cardiologist) was trying to send me a message.

* Happy birthday de Knoct

* F5 after two days of heavy Sirius XM9:
Poison - BBD
One Headlight - Wallflowers
Faded - Ben Harper
Been Caught Stealing - Jane's Addiction
Outshined - Soundgarden

Ya sure about that?

Their D looked solid even without one of the best players in the game. And their TE play was solid. It really came down to a receiver who dropped a bunch of passes or they win that game going away.

I was impressed that the defense held up relatively well without Jones. They have drafted well on that side of the ball. But the O-Line was shaky (despite that one tackle lining up illegally every play and starting too soon), and they don't have a WR who can consistently get open and pose a downfield threat. I'm sure Reid will eventually figure some things out. Not writing them off, but if they don't get homefield again, it's gonna be difficult to get back to the Super Bowl in a loaded AFC.

Was it in Frankfort? The Frankfort Chick Fil A (and pretty much all restaurants there) is the worst run Chick Fil A (non-airport division) in the universe.
Lexington's Nicholasville Rd. location, which has 47 cars in line at any time of the day. They are usually on point, but I started out in line back at the old Red Lobster location, then had the two wrong-order mishaps.

- The Harrodsburg Road CFA is the best. Partial, because the oldest worked there before leaving for college, but it's always the most efficient and accurate. Nich Road struggles because of sheer volume, and the new one out towards Ramsey's is hit-or-miss.

- Trilly Donovan coming right out and saying that Drew and Mitch are tight, and that Drew is tops on the list of Cal replacements is...something. Not that we didn't already suspect as much, but I hadn't seen it put out there so bluntly.

- A slow Friday night of CFB should make for some interesting MLB playoff race viewing. Fun to see so many teams still with something to play for. Not a Reds fan, but would much rather see that fanbase rewarded for its patience than the Marlins, where the fans barely even notice what's going on.

- Speaking of fans who aren't checked-in, what in the world is keeping Orioles fans away from games? They're nearly 40 games over .500, they have an exciting young team, a classic ballpark, and they haven't won anything in ages. I know people hate the owners or whatever, but still...there's a team that shouldn't be in the bottom 1/3 of MLB attendance.

- I know nobody cares about baseballsucka. Give me Troy over Kansas State, Tulane over Ole Miss, and wait a second...why in the world is Auburn playing AT California?

I think most of them were murdered during the pandemic. It's Baltimore.
