I knew that if he could get his game to at least NBA starter level, he'd become a star. Has all the physical tools, but having the combination of being so intense on the court, but so engaging off of it makes him hard not to like. Still hard to picture that he, OG and JMo were all in the same class.

It's a flesh wound.

Wait....I could get paid for it? I just thought it sounded like fun.

We're bored, now that there's no Old Milwaukee speculation anymore.

Can I do something more dignified? Like having a Drano colonic performed by the Burger King King live on YouTube?

Kid is ridiculously talented and is all of what....19/20/21 years old? The NBA has always drafted on potential. Now, it's even moreso. The days of every first round pick being expected to immediately contribute are gone. These are (literally in some cases) kids. They're going to need time to develop.

Impossible burger, topped with kale and soy cheese. Half the stuff on that list is f#&&%ng delicious. Sonoran Dogs, Chicago Dogs, Primanti Brothers Sandwiches. And congratulations, author. You've successfully found a way to unite the cities of Cincinnati and Pittsburgh on something. I mean, other than mutually agreeing that both cities' MLB franchises suck.

RMK at 90% mental capacity is still ahead of most of the population. Man has/had his flaws, but is as sharp as they come.

The car geek in me is curious. What was it?

There's a market for bootleg Frisch's tartar sauce? Hmmm.....

As a non-native, I've learned to stay the hell away from Skyline/Gold Star debates. I've seen political debates end less violently than those.

You'll never catch a sideways glance from a Cincinnatian for eating chili and pasta. Might question why it's not spaghetti, but far from a strange concept. A mound of shredded cheese equal to the size of the pasta, hot sauce and oyster crackers are required though.

That's pretty damn close to mine. I do throw in one small can of black beans, and instead of chili powder, I do one chopped chipotle with a heaping teaspoon of adobo. And I won't deviate on this: hot smoked Spanish paprika. Gives enough heat that I skip the Cayenne, but it's a more "level" heat. Doesn't hit you all at once, but builds to a steady level. If you're doing a paleo diet, watch the chili powder. Some brands include sugar.

I don't share this opinion, but some people have a saying: if you know beans about chili, you know chili doesn't have beans. Personally, I like it about 3:1 meat to beans.

I've been told I went to the Bird many times. Strange, because I only remember about half that many.

GS's Russell now out for 2 months. Now I'll say it, time for a rebuild and an exorcist it seems

That would make the Watshot sound like a tomb by comparison.

Wound is almost healed. There will always be a scar, but it's nothing both sides can't look past. The day IUBB makes a final four and RMK celebrates...we will be back. And whole.

Haven't we all?

Yep, and I'd toss their classmates Sheehey and Morgan in there as well. Not quite as high a ceiling, but still had that grinders mentality. And if you told me a kid would turn out like Will Sheehey or Juwan Morgan...I'd take them all day long.

I'd venture to say that Geronimo is a little of both, and that's a good thing. Tremendous athlete whose game needs a little polish, but has that grinder's mentality and wants to be taught.

When asked the question "Tenderloin or short rib?", the correct answer is "Yes".

The rankings don't make sense. Dakich doesn't make sense. Is this like one of them there math problems where I subtract two negatives and wind up with a positive, right?

And at that time, the Mavs were still owned by Ross Perot Jr, and Mark Cuban's net worth could still be measured in millions.
