    pic I don't run the vacuum so it is hers and she can have it, the alternative would be me starting to vacuum the house and that is crazy talk.

    You have cleaning ladies (plural) and a Dyson?
    Obviously you need to be taxed more.

    That’s funny because I did that last week, except mine was KFC. I knew going in what I was stepping into and it lived up to my expectations

    this whole "Punisher" thing has gotten way out of hand. Today I saw a hitch plug Punisher skull with a red vertical line (Thin Red Line ie a fireman.)
    But his window stickers made it clear he's a paramedic. Paramedic/Punisher just seems antithetical. I kinda sorta get it for a fireman; you want to stomp the crap out of fire. But a paramedic? You're going to do what exactly? Stabilize that neck with extreme violence?

    Also, it's really dumb for cops to rock Punisher stuff. If the cop ever gets sued (or worse prosecuted) for brutality; all the complainant's atty/prosecutor has to do is get a hold of pics of the cop with that symbol and then play a clip of the Punisher being a vigilante, doing vigilante-type stuff like cracking heads. Case closed.

    It is funny for me to go to the firebase and see the young kids all stickered up. 10 ply soft no experience but their vehicle stickers tell the world how bad ass they are.

    you know as well as I do it's less about how BA they are and how much TnA they're trying to get.
    And trying to get out of tickets.

    My son's basketball school team is terrible. My son told his teammates(all but one)"You're not any good". Coach talked to me after game an ask me my thoughts on my son's comments, I just replied "He's not wrong".

    35? Sounds like the team has a terrible coach. Let me guess they can't break the press? Is your son related to Christian Latner?

    35 turnovers at any level of basketball is terrible.

    Few things have hurt basketball at this level.
    1. Leagues with rule "No Stealing"
    2. Leagues with Rule "No pressing"
    3. Leagues with rule "No doubling team"

    From a coaching stand point skills are not taught anymore.
    1. Dribbling with head up
    2. Dribble with your off hand
    3. How to use and what a pivot foot does(this is huge)
    4. How to shoot correctly(form)
    5. How to make a layup correctly
    From a defense standpoint it's worse
    1. How to play man to man
    2. Hedge a screen
    3. Switch
    4. Block out correctly

    My sons team 11 out of 13 can't dribble with their head up or off hand. They can't handle pressure because they have played basketball in leagues where stealing is not allowed, so they have no idea how to protect the basketball. In the last game the first 9 trips down the court led to 7 TO. We scored 11 points for the game, 9 from my son who shot the ball 5 times and made 4(1 three pointer). The coach god bless him is trying to teach the kids an offense so my son does not get turned loose. Plus if little jimmy does not get to throw up his 10 3's a game I am sure a parent would get mad.

    My son has played real basketball since he was 8, we played in leagues in Detroit for his first 3 years. We got killed those games the first year, but buy the second we could compete.

    Our school and area does not have a good basketball program associated with the school at 1-6th grade, that's the issue. I have tried to start one, I have made calls, spent my own money, but it's like herding cats. This year I tried to put a team together for the 7th grade to play a 20 game league after the seasons to help the kids out. We have 25 kids on two teams and 6 committed to the league. I tried to do a skills night for the teams, the school and coaches would not buy in.

    The team we played last night was not good, They play as a travel team and my sons travel team played them last year. We beat them 35-0.
