Previously, Part 14: The Cop Working My Case Was Unwilling to Back Off. In Fact, He Was a Real Prick… There were three layers of security. The first layer consisted of uniformed security guards. The second layer watched the first, and the third layer remained invisible while watching everyone. Larry told me he took home between $500 and $750 a week on commissions. Security had been watching Larry closely. Part of the agreement included leaving his rolodex full of customers on his desk....

Theres no denying his talent on the field; the problem is that hes rarely on the field. I admire Tua greatlyhes everything you could ask for in a quarterback. Hes accurate, makes smart decisions, and possesses impeccable character. However, none of that matters if he cant stay healthy and available to play. In five seasons, Tua has managed to play a full slate of games only once. His inability to stay healthy has been a recurring issue....

That’s it for football… So why else is it so great to be Irish? I’ll tell you why. If you need me on March 17th, I’ll be here… What else? I “work” in New York City. A place that some consider theCulinary Capital of the World. That dish is the soda bread scone atMary O’sin the East Village… So go wait in line alongside dejected Georgia fans for a veal chop at whatever guinea place isInstagram-famousthis week....

And my reasons for this have been pure. For too long The Real Housewives of Foxboro didn’t appreciate how good they had it. Another was the legendary “Unicorns! My issue with that one was there might have been 20,000 people left in the stands for that game-winner. And maybe twice that trying to talk their way back into the stadium. Oh ye of little faith. But I can’t emphasize this enough....

I say it all the time when it comes to both life, and this basketball team. Everyone knows the Celtics December was one of the worst months of basketball in the entire Joe Mazzulla Era. For some teams, an 8-6 month is a success. It’s downright offensive. The Celts ended 2024 with a 2-3 stretch, and the picture didn’t look all that great. But here’s the beauty of perspective. It all depends on how you look at things....

On the court, things haven’t been all that great. Butler came back in the new year, and things didn’t look all that better. That’s always going to spark drama, even if it was well-intentioned. Jimmy is no fool. This isn’t his first rodeo. How could it not be? Jimmy Butler never says anything by accident. And what does he mean by we’ll find out here shortly? Butler turning down his player option and leaving for nothing is how you destroy your rebuild....

“Yeah, us. Like we out there jacking up a hundred threes a night. ‘Cause I can get you brother. ‘Cause remember I got your Lakers’ games. you might’t hide them flaws they got. You just a dead man walking. They got rid of Frank Vogel who did a good job. They got rid of Darvin Ham who did a good job. The hell you’re able to! you could put some makeup on that pig!...

Feel like this debate comes up every few years because of how the NFL operates. They’ll go on the road at least twice and need upsets to host the NFC title game. So it begs the question - do you do what St. Brown wants? Division winners get in the playoffs, but you just seed based on wins. I don’t care. It’s not like teams play balanced schedules where it’s possible for you to say that....

Life was different back then. Once professional sports rose in popularity things started to change a bit. Marylin Monroe didn’t have sex with Joe DiMaggio because he was stationed in Hawaii for a year. It was because of the .325 career batting average and 361 home runs. But at least kids who dedicate their childhood to sports grow up in a competitive environment. They learn what it means to be a part of a team....

Listen I know I’ve had my dust-ups with the United States Postal Service in the past. I am officially declaring it that I KNOW the USPS is stealing my mail. It’s just one gift card and what am I going to do? Get a guy fired? Spend hours filling out forms and talking to people for….$25? So yeah, option 1 is to actually go through with their process. Do an old fashioned Stake Out....

The SEC is dead and all the bye teams lost. TD Parlay and fantasy fuccbois (01:32:39-01:45:19). We finish with Fyre Fest of the week (02:37:12-02:49:54).

I don’t know one single person who likes the starting strokes format of the Tour Championship right now. It’s whatever, it’s been around a few years, it’s not working. Give us match play. We lost it in Austin, makes even more sense to make the Tour Championship a bracket event. People fucking love brackets. Give people byes and let people yell about rust vs rest. Give us upsets and all the stuff we’re used to when we see a bracket....

Make no mistake, Marcus Freeman was the difference today. The right calls and the big ole balls. I know Freeman just signed an extension, but it isn’t long enough. Had a ton of impact players out injured and it just didn’t matter. He’s built a team. I never thought this was possible after the NIU game. Many teams would’ve flushed the season away. Freeman rallied his guys. I can’t believe....
