OT: Caitlin Clark is the NIL champ

"Cracker of the Day" from Antonio Brown.
This girl is going to get lots of abuse

Antonio Brown is a racist POS. Unfortunately he doesn’t get called out for it in the media. She gets a lot of hate for simply being white. That’s a shame as she has done more for women’s basketball than just about anyone in recent memory.
She’s a great player hopefully she continues to add popularity to the game.

Cliff disses Paul

understood 👍
I'm saying he knew it was time to move on and he shouldn't be faulted for doing so.
Glad you hold no ill will for Paul doing what's best for his life after earning his RU degree
I have no ill will towards Paul

He did watched thought was best and made his money
Capitalism 101

But if he’s not warmly welcomed back, not due to his departure but rather the timing and optics, that’s part of the game

Hel always be a loyal son, but not thought of in the same realm as Geo & Ron

If 400k or whatever he made was worth it for him, all good

I’ll cheer him regardless and am grateful he gave us 4 years

I Miss College Basketball

It’s like any sport for me - if my team is competitive, I’m more engaged. Watching this version of the Knicks has me more into the NBA than I was. They’re an old school team to a certain degree, but able to compete in the new school.
As a Nets fan, I've hated the Knicks ever since John Starks broke Kenny Anderson's wrist at the Meadowlands

But I can admit the NBA is way more fun to watch when the Knicks are good and the Garden is rocking

OT: Ravenite Social Club

I never had the fascination with mafias.
Drug dealers, murderers - some just like horror pic guys - chopping people up etc. Good lord.
The post WWII city guys were fascinated by mob (maybe like drug kingpins for people in South America). Look at Sinatra and that gang thinking mob was cool. That was big in 40s-60s.

Conversely, the mafia probably shouldn't have been eradicated - the vaccum was just filled in with Mexican cartels and Russians etc.
I love history so I always like to go where historic things happened

Rocky steps at Art Museum & where he stood at Pat's cheesesteaks in Philly are two really cool places

I imagine walking the route where JFK was shot in Dallas has to be eerie

OT: Ravenite Social Club

Have been an occasional patron at Sparks Steakhouse since the late 80s. That's the place Paul Castellanos was gunned down in 1985 by Gotti's men (allegedly); started going there every year for awhile after we first took our son there when he was around 9 (2003) for his birthday and he loved it.

Also, my hometown was heavily South Philly Italian and I didn't really know what the mafia was until I was in my early teens hanging out with a friend of mine whose family lived in a gaudy palace of a house. His dad was in "waste management" - didn't know what that was code for until another friend explained it to me. Rarely saw his dad, but after finding out I was always a little nervous when I was at their house, lol.
Township definitely has a lot of guys from "the neighborhood"
Love the South Philly Italian market - reminds me of Little Italy in the Bronx with the vibe

the vast majority of our verbals have enrolled. maybe that will change, but the track record is good.
Agreed. We lost what? 1 verbal last year? And people figured Duff and I think White(?) were definitely going to flip but never did.
Times have changed. We have some success to point to now. It's much harder to steal from us.
