Life is so damn cruel. His 3 daughters and wife...I can’t even fucking imagine. So, so sad. The NBA shot clock and 8-second violation tributes are getting to me.

Easily the most shocking sports death of my life. I was never a fan of his game, but loved his drive and will to win. He seemed to have been a very genuine man off the court and each day that went by he seemed to grow into an incredible person.

He had the infidelity, and that seemed to change him for the better. And for the better of everyone else through him. Damn.

Well, Ohio State peaked at #2, so that won't happen!

Net Rank... lol

Wife and I have maxed the Roth IRA ($5,000 for a few years and $6,000 last 2 years) each. But just hit the income limit and can’t contribute anymore. That’s about to change again for 2020 though, as she just quit her job to stay at home with the kid and work part time. We each contribute to company 401k, but that’s pretty minimal in comparison to the Roth

We have investments with 3 different firms, plus a 4th for the Roth retirement. I’d say enough for like a decade of living, but obviously if we had to dip in the returns grow smaller and smaller and a market recession would effect that.

Also have 3 different college funds set up for our first born, that, if needed, can dip into. But that is definitely not the goal lol. At 8 months old, without us contributing any more, he should have around $160,000. Lucky little fuck. I just paid off my loans 2 months ago at 34 lol. We are hoping to have enough for him and the next to get 3 years each paid for. The estimated cost for college is projected to be astronomical in 20 years.

I am stunned he went 4/4 from deep. His shot is so flat. I still think that will be a major hindrance to his game, unless he gets some arc. Don’t see how a shot that flat and consistently go in from 23+ feet. But, 4/4 night one...damn.

What is with KU and KSU players trying to steal the ball when the game is over like that? Barry Brown did it, some KU player did it as well I recall. Then last night...

I say he was

I think a lot of writers do as well, otherwise he probably would've been in already.

I dont think Schilling is. He wouldnt be at 70% when others are so far down, imo. But maybe I missed something.

I retract everything I ever said about Tomlin as a coach. To keep this dude under control for so long is a goddamn work of art.

Omar got 52.6%, and in only his 3rd year. He is going to get in, which is a shock to me — but deserved imo. I’ll predict when the steroid guys are off the ballot (Bonds/Clemens/Sosa) and Schilling (may get in next year) he gets it. I think that would put it at 2023? Don’t see 10 guys being ahead of him at that point, especially with weak additions next year.
