I'm thinking the criminal thunder are hugging the soap tighter than Barry Switzer and Charles Thomson after the FBI raid in early 1989.

More. I listened to some goober claim you can't count certain sports figures as great because their identity as cultural phenomena clouded their "greatness." He didn't use the proper plural of phenomenon, but that's a big part of the point. Popular sports are a cultural entity created by the wealth generated by the industrial revolution. Let's face it. You can't legitimately compare ball chasing to the invention of firearms, electricity, motor vehicles, nuclear power, computers, digital communication, the internet and artificial intelligence. Without those things, there wouldn't be a sufficient number of people with the resources to worry about sports.

I would like to add that Curry could never defend play doh. Without the Euro rule changes, he would have never been worth a crap on offense either.

Thinking about NBA rule changes and idiots blathering has made me think about the best basketball players in the world since in mattered in the 1970s. The list. Kareem 1971-1980 Bird 1981-1984 Magic 1985-1990 Jordan 1991-1993 (retired) Hakeem 1994-1995 Jordan 1996-1998 Shaq 1999-2000 Kobe 2001-2010 LeBrick 2011-2014 Durant 2015-2019 Doesn't matter after that because rule changes that had been passed about ten years earlier ruined the game and turned it into a Euro pansy league. Two longest runs were Kareem and Kobe. As we went on through this era, MVP voting became dumb and dumber, just like the Heisman.

Looks like it's time for some old school Bull Durham yelling and chair throwing.

Don't get hung up on ropes. My great great grandfather was hanged in Georgia in 1866.

"It's no joke. It's a rope, Tuco."

That night I watched Clint in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly after the late news for about the 200th time with my dad on channel 7. Greatest film ever made.

Add Cuban to this.

Only took about ten minutes. My Border Collie Gael did the entire job. About five minutes we located. She circled and held. Got up to her and a sow was charging and running back to piglets. Walked up with my head lamp shining. Gael held and the sow charged and backed. Took her through the back hip ranging up through the lung. About 150 lbs. Hanging in the trees and cooling just outside the yard now. Process her this evening. Made me have a crystal clear memory/flashback. Not more than fifty yards away in 1986 when I was fourteen, I shot a gator. My grandfather had four catfish ponds from which he sold channel catfish. Ponds are still there. A couple of gators had come in and were eating his brood fish in what he called his "mother" pond. He set up a couple of seine nets to catch the gators. We'd go check the nets morning, noon and evening. We were checking in a flat bottom, paddling out and saw the gator get caught in one of the seines. I had my dad's S&W model 25 with which I'd been practicing. Model 25 was the same as the Dirty Harry Model 29 but in .45 Colt instead. We got up about ten feet away and the gator was hung up. I held up the S&W and asked my granddad where to shoot. He said, "Shot him in the ass! I don't care." That's what I did. Hauled the gator out and sold it to my grandfather's friend up the road. He gave me the money and a 1933 buffalo head nickel. Don't have the cash, but I still have the nickel.

Someone asked me how I use the dogs. I use em to hunt. You gotta know dogs and how to train them. Walker for tracking and calling in the others. Border Collie for circling and holding to move in. American Bulldog for hitting and chomping if the hog is too frisky with the other two. Mr. Ruger does the rest.

Taking the dogs to go feral hog hunting with my Ruger Redhawk in .45 Colt (high pressure) in about an hour. They'll be running and rooting like crazy after all the rain yesterday. Line me up some pork for the smoking pit.

Popovich waited about ten years too late to retire. On Jokic: Gerry talked about him being a great player. There's no question he plays great. He wouldn't have started as a 4 or 5 in the NBA twenty-five years ago because he wouldn't have been able to defend the post in the pre-zone era. He wouldn't have been anything close to the offensive player or rebounder he is now because he would have literally been muscled constantly off the ball, keeping him from getting the position he wanted. This is a prime example of why attendance and market share are down in the NBA.

I think my friend's dad graduated from Arkansas in about 1960. Men didn't talk much back then.

I went to a double header between Arkansas and Baylor on a Saturday in April 1986 when I was 13 with my best friend. His dad was an Arkansas alumni. I think they split the double header. We ate at Whataburger in Waco between the double header. We ate at Braum's in Corsicana on the way back. I don't remember my friend's dad saying a word during the hole thing.

All former Alabama players need to reject Saban, Man clearly doesn't give a damn about how hard they worked. He thinks he deserved 10 mil while they deserved nothing. He literally lied to the Dolphins and then took the Alabama job. Then he complains about NIL? Who believes this crap? Idiots, that who.

I literally can't believe this. The man is rich beyond belief, but he thinks the guys who made him rich should have to shut up and be limited by some illegal executive order? Send this man straight to purgatory. Who does he think he is? I guess he thinks he's a god.

I'm thinking Saban is worse than Satan.

I don't think there's eve been a "man" who made so much money on the free market and then complained about others making money. Obviously he's not a real man. He's a pansy. Why does he care that people make money? We can't take this nonsense.

He's a damn communist.

Saban made over 100 million by lying to LSU, the Dolphins and Alabama. He talks to chump and now we gotta bow down hypocrisy?

Saban whining about NIL is like the Russians whining about the US having technological superiority in 1990.

Trump's a communist. Texas must defeat communism. https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football/breaking-news/article/president-trump-reportedly-considering-executive-order-limiting-nil-after-meeting-with-nick-saban-012129625.html

First paper I published was on the connection between New Jack Swing and Nietzsche when I was 20. I wrote it for an old female professor from Germany who escaped the Holocaust. She interrupted to tell me I shouldn't try to discuss Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil in connection with a pop star like Bobby Brown. I said that might be true, but it didn't mean there wasn't a connection. That's why we aren't the criminal sooners or Aggies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q39E_DgfHqs
