Basketball has been good to me. Part of the resistance.
Happy heavenly birthday John Chaney. Almost everything I have today can be traced back to him and him giving a kid like me a chance. Born 93 years ago today.

Good morning. I'm wishing you and the ones you love a very Merry Christmas.
And when the sun goes down I'm wishing you and the ones you love a very happy Hanukkah.
If you're missing someone today may their memory be a blessing.

Chaney story: Coach didn’t really have us watch film on opponents. It was always about us. He thought if we saw other teams turning the ball over with no consequences, throwing lob passes and leaving our feet with no plans he was afraid their style would rub off on us.

Seriously question. Why do they require basketball players to tuck in their jerseys? Is it that big a deal? Refs have more important things to pay attention to. Between the HS game I was at Saturday and college game tonight I must have seen refs tell a player to tuck it in 50 or 60 times. Stupid.

It’s really annoying how mainstream TV news shows, when doing a segment on whatever subject, use video clips of random nobodies talking about said subject on the nobodies’ TicToc or Instagram page. Who cares what they have to say about the price of gas. Put an expert on.

During the season, John Chaney did almost nothing outside of basketball. He didn’t golf, he didn’t do radio or TV, he didn’t make appearances. 96% of his time was spent with basketball related activities. 3% buying and eating food from Philly’s famous establishments. And 1% buying high-end clothing.

Yesterday and today I’ve gone with the Noah’s Arc strategy of eating. I’m taking two helpings of everything.

It’s Clementine season y’all! Here’s a couple Haiku’s I wrote:
Bright citrus sunrise,
Hidden treasures in the rind,
Joy with every slice.
Orbs of pure sunshine,
Easy peel, a sweet surprise,
Happiness in halves.
It you haven’t guessed, I really like Clementines.

3 reminders for today:
1. A Philadelphia area college goes for a National Championship today. Go St Joes field hockey! 1:30 ESPNU
2. If your turkey is in the freezer take that bitch out and transfer it to the refrigerator.
3. John Chaney did not play players that could not play defense.

Happy Saturday. Another one of my favorites. This was after I scored my 1000th. I miss him everyday.

Growing up in the Philadelphia area as a kid there were 7 TV channels to choose from. 3, 6, 10, 12, 17, 29 and 48. Am I lying? I stopped on a movie recently and watched for a bit. I wondered what channel it was on. It was in the 4100s.
