Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out. This episode is coming to you from the Newark airport. I’m working from the Chicago office this week. I forgot that we’re in an era of respecting Presidents again. That’s on me. My only goal while I’m there is the break the longest drive record on the golf simulator. I opted to watch the Four Nations tournament over the NBA All-Stars Skills Competition/Dunk Contest last night....
Get those employee’s back in the office, babe. I kid you not…I love this. Who cares if they can get their job done in half the time from home? (Looking at you Gen-Z). They started working during COVID so they think it’s normal to be remote. Well, unfortunately for them, it’s not. The culture has shifted. The pendulum has swung. Now, having said that, there is a majordisconnect between Jamie and his employees....
At least the AD knew they fucked it all up I just can’t stop laughing at the image. The best is it was hanging up like that: An absolutely absurd image. you’re able to’t do that and have a jersey retirement go this wrong in the same game. That’s fairly normal in college basketball. It’s not a retired number or anything like that, just recognition. I need to know what Shannon said when he pulled that rope to unveil his jersey upside down....
The first ever 3-peat, insane dunk after insane dunk that repeatedly combined elite ingenuity with elite execution. It’s everything you want as a fan watching this event. Ja Morant, I’m going to be very clear about something here. it’s possible for you to’t do something like this and then not follow through. No chance either guy agrees but you know what? Crazier things have happened. The All Star game is going to be in LA next year at the Clippers new arena....
I’ve always been someone who’s held out hope when it came to the Dunk Contest. I don’t need big name players to participate, I just need big time dunks. Sure it’d be cool to see the biggest names participate, but I’m realistic. I know those days are over, so at the very least just show me some cool shit. Pull off your dunk on the first try and be innovative....
I know three things about Peru: 1. It’s legal to carry up to 2 grams of cocaine for personal use 3. I’m not sure why they do it. I’ve been seeing these videos for years now. Just a couple months for Christmas, I blogged aboutthe Peruvian Grinch taking down a drug ring. That they were trying to catch these criminals off guard. I suppose it draws more attention to the drug bust, which is good PR....
That game was absolutely everything you could have ever hoped it would be, and then some more. Obviously you knew tensions were going to be high heading into this game. From the jump, you have the best rivalry in hockey with USA and Canada. The Americans may have gotten the barn rocking with those 3 fights to start off the game. It was the most highly anticipated hockey game in forever....
I know, I know, Arkansas beat Kentucky. I’ll take that any day of the week. This is what we tried warning Arkansas fans about. The losses add up and even if Arkansas looks better in February, it ends up being too late. But calling your players fragile? They can’t handle the pressure of being a bubble team? It’s a BRUTAL thing to be called and now Cal should have to say them name by name....
If those piece of shit Canadians want to boo the Star Spangled Banner, then that’s fine. Nothing Team USA can do about that. But you want to know what they can do? But just a few seconds later, we have JT Miller going after Colton Parayko after the whistle. 3 fights in 9 seconds. If you weren’t a hockey fan before, you sure as shit are now. – The Tkachuk family is the greatest family in American history....
Counterpoint: you’re playing Seton Hall. There’s no other way to put it. You have to inbound the ball. it’s possible for you to’t choke games away. And look, UConn has the last 2 titles. You live with anything after winning that. I’m a pro-Hurley guy. I like him a lot, you just can’t lose to Seton Hall in this scenario. UConn should be in the Tournament, but those wins against Creighton and Marquette just took a huge hit....
A month away from the NCAA Tournament and not having snow on the ground. A month away from getting out of the winter and everyone is just happier. So here we are without football and getting our first look at the NCAA Tournament bracket. First off, yes, this matters. Gotta start with this. I hate we don’t get 1 full bracket reveal. We know who the best teams are....
What are we doing here? This isn’t Brad Davison, so we can rule out intent here. But to get EJECTED for this? It’s a college basketball problem. JT Toppin had something similar happen against Houston: This is the worst part. They go to the monitor and look at this. It’s a foul, it’s not that hard. This is going to happen in the NCAA Tournament. It’s a guarantee at this point....
The people’s champ Timm Woods is back to finish our last campaign, Forge of Fury.
