Stories of bad actors in youth sports…

Last night at a middle school basketball game the opposing coach threw a tantrum that would make Fran McCaffrey blush. This idiot not only started cussing out the officials but also started cussing at our boys while flailing his arms and turning psychotic. It got so bad they ended the game with :14 seconds left and a police officer had to escort him off the court.

Middle. School. Basketball.

I won’t mention the number of stupid parents who reeked of marijuana and knew about as much about basketball as MAGAs know about inflation.

Over the years, I have seen this type of behavior get worse and worse. I’m curious what others have seen. Any anecdotes?

She faces some stiff competition to get in (now or in the future), but a very cool honor for Lisa Bluder all the same.

This sounds like a great way to get your Hilton Honors account hacked...

I should have taken a picture, but the Hampton Inn I stayed at last night had a fishbowl on the front desk with a sign that says, "Drop your business card with your Hilton Honors number written on it for chance to win 5,000 Honors Points".

WHY the requirement to write your account number on the card??? Anyone could go fishing in that bowl and have your name and Honors number, and possibly the email address and mobile phone number associated with that account, too!

Why can't they simply contact the winner to get the Honors number? That's the entire point of a business card. So people can contact you.

JuJu Watkins (in 38 games) is 4th fastest to 1,000 points. Took Caitlin 40 games

Attendance (tickets sold & distributed) for USC's 81-50 home win last night over Santa Clara was just 3,594.

Will JuJu threaten Caitlin's career scoring mark? It will come down to career games x career ppg.

* Caitlin averaged 35 games/year x 4 years. JuJu played 34 games in year 1.
* Right now there's quite the gap in career ppg.

Current Numbers:

Games....Career...........Career
Played.......PPG.............Points
.......38................26.47....................1,006.........JuJu Watkins
.....139...............28.42...................3,951..........Caitlin Clark


Beast Games on Prme.

Very entertaining. 2 episodes available on Prime with new releases every Thursday.

Concept. 1000 contestants have to survive various rounds of challenges, bribes, team eliminations, mass eliminations based on 1 person’s decision, etc. Hard to completely explain.

Good stuff. I’m already pissed I have to wait a week for episode 3.

Oh, and the winner takes home $5M.

Arrogant asshole Elon Musk opens mouth and blows up spending bill in the House

Musk, I need to think of a good nickname for him, is just a piece of shit who thinks he knows what is good for U.S./us. He is acting like he is the prez. And it will be interesting to see how the dumpster/Elon dynamic plays out because the dumpster wants all the headlines since he is so self-absorbed.

It will also be interesting to see if somehow he is asked or told to divest is his businesses that have govt contracts if he wants a job in the admin.
