Just my opinion but PJ Washington will be a better and mentally stable version of Draymond Green.
If MJ is still trying to decide whether to run, that's a good sign that he shouldn't. He seems like a guy trying to talk himself into something that he knows isn't the best decision for him. He's not going to beat Mitch. Whether Mitch is doing right by Kentuckians or not, he's going to continue to be elected due to his federal power. Frankly, I think MJ has more power and influence through KSR. A TV show, a radio show, national gigs, a restaurant - why give up most, if not all, of those things to fight a battle he can't win? It's like going over the top at the Somme - futile. If it were me, I'd keep things status quo, write the book, continue to chop away at Mitch, wait for Mitch to resign/die, THEN make a bid for the seat. Let McGrath take the fall and bide my time. All IMHO, of course.
Plus, the radio show will die without MJ; it just will. The other guys are great in support roles, but they can't carry it. I doubt I'll even listen until Matt is back.

The full Herbie and 25 bags of leaves from this weekend that were basically just a "nice start" on my front yard - as well as my back - agree.
A mulching lawn mower solves many problems re. leaves. Recommended.
Matt will lose to Mitch, lose his TV show and lose his radio show. What a tough decision.
He has been one of the better FT shooters since his first day on campus. Are you just now realizing that?
-KENTUCKY ELECTED A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR!! OMG!! :joy: Just goes to show you what a type of ignorance is the mainstream political sheep.
-Beef stew is fine.
-Cole Anthony, Wiseman, and Maxey are going to be the re-ranked 1-2-3 for this season. Mercy, Cole Anthony is a bad dude. Roy was lucky to grab him because they would be dogshit without.
-Hopefully, we're not over-hyped for this game Saturday. Seems like the team is dialed in, though.

Vecenie had Maxey at #4 in his first mock before the MSU game.
4. Memphis Grizzlies
Tyrese Maxey | 6-3 guard | 18 years old, freshman | Kentucky
Maxey is one of my favorites in this class. I’m on the higher end of where NBA scouts have him, but most do have him in this tier of prospects — below the top group, fitting somewhere comfortably within the second. Above all, Maxey is a scorer at all three levels. He’s improved his jumper to the point where I think he’s now an efficient, knockdown guy from distance. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him above 40 percent this season.
His release is lightning quick, terrific off the bounce because of a strong ball pick-up, and his mechanics are extremely clean. That stretches to his efficiency in the midrange, although he’s a lot more adept with his floater/runner package than he is as a shooter in the midrange because he doesn’t get a crazy amount of elevation on his shot. But over the years, he’s really done a terrific job of adding to his package of creative push shots from within 10 feet. He’s one of the few players that I think can actually be efficient on such attempts.
But he’s more than a scorer. Maxey is an absolute dog on the ball defensively. At 6-foot-3 with a 6-foot-6 wingspan, few guys are as good at hounding opposing ballhandlers. He fights through screens, knows how to play angles, and has lightning-quick hands that force steals. And at 200 pounds, he has the kind of powerfully built frame to where guys can’t just blow through him in switch scenarios or on drives. Putting him in a backcourt with Ashton Hagans is going to just be misery for opposing teams because both can pick you up for 80 feet, slow down how quickly you can initiate your set at the point of attack, and then cut off drives.
The big question here comes with his distribution. Kentucky will likely have Hagans play more lead guard this season and initiate its own sets. Maxey is definitely a more combo, score-first guard than he is as a distributor. But at 6-3, he’s probably going to need to do some of that. Maxey tends to be a guy who doesn’t make mistakes with ball in hand, but he also hasn’t yet displayed vision in the halfcourt to where you can truly believe in him making the right reads to open players. I have hope he can develop there because that will certainly be his swing skill.
But in general, Maxey is just the kind of guy who I completely believe in. He’s a terrific leader, with a fun personality that Kentucky fans will absolutely fall in love with. He also is extremely intelligent and works hard. He finished in the top five percent of his graduating high school class in Texas academically while also destroying folks on the basketball court. Wildcat fans are going to be happy to have him for a year.

Yeah, Cole Anthony is outstanding. UNC would be a bubble team without. He took 24 shots...next closest was 7. The way it's gonna have to be
Get prepared to be nauseated with his love though. It won't be Zion level, bc nothing will likely ever be - but it will *seem* similar.
-Here's how much I anticipate my life changing with ******* Bevin out & POS Beshear in:

2016 gets the comparison but I think we're better this season especially on perimeter D. Also think competition is way down if Tuesday night was the true top 5 teams playing.
Ulis >> Hagans
Murray = Maxey but I think Maxey can win this one with playing D, because Murray was a swinging door.
Quickley >> Briscoe
Sestina >> Willis
Poythress > Mongomery
Richards > Lee
Brooks >>> Skal
Whitney, Juzang > or = Mulder, Matthews, Hawkins, Humphries

People who obsess over politicians and elections (not you, Tommy, it's your livelihood) and celebrate the outcomes of them like their favorite team just won a national championship are f'ing weird. Same thing for the people who freak out or #resist when their candidate loses. Get a hobby, nerds.
If your overall happiness is affected to any degree by who's in public office, you need to reassess things.
Work hard, be good, provide for your family. It ain't complicated.

Rack. It really gets weird from you hear from family / friends who have lived out of state for decades and are emotionally invested in the Kentucky gubernatorial election. And send group e-mails and post about it on Facebook.
Piss off, people.
Per the "pet photographer", homosexuals and insane people constitute the bulk of dog parents. Not surprising tbh

I told my oldest (in response to some bit of nonsense he relayed had been told to him by a teacher) that a lot of people view their political party (and its rival) like they view their favorite sports team (and its rival) - their team does no wrong and the other team does no right. So take every political thing you're told with a grain of salt. I am an incredible parent.
The GOP is exactly right in filing an FEC complaint on Jones. Since Beshear won, it seems very likely that Jones will run (for a couple reasons.)
Matt Jones is exactly right in creating the faux outrage and attacking them for it.
Pretty simple.
McConnell will probably win (by a good amount), but Matt definitely has some paths to victory.
Doesn't matter though. Daniel Cameron will have that seat in seven years. 100.

Aside from your last line, the rest of your post is complete ignorance. "Overall happiness" isn't affected, however, you are supporting someone who is supposed to be the voice for what you stand for in terms of how it will affect your day to day livelihood...generally speaking. Some are going to take it more to heart than others (win or lose) but that's fine...it's real life and actually rather important.
Go ask a fervent 2nd amendment supporter how he feels if Trump were to lose next year...he might be a little bent and deservedly so.
And there you have it. :joy::joy:
By the way, congrats (I guess) on a stunningly ignorant and ironic, yet perfect example of your own stupidity, as if 2nd Amendment supporters truly have anything to worry about. I mean, Obama already took all their guns!!!

Obviously being an extremist ******* is a bad thing, but caring about politics and who wins (and even getting upset when your guy loses) is good citizenship. I mean, nothing worse than the guy who says "I don't know who's running" or "I don't care who wins" or "I don't pay attention to politics". I guess woodfordandwater is that guy.
-he's not that guy, iirc. Being engaged is good...letting politics dominate your thoughts/interjecting it into every aspect of your life is unhealthy.
-screaming about "drumph/repugs/libruls/killary" on social media is *never* gonna help your cause/convert anyone. True believers are gonna do their thing...and those on the fence don't wanna be preached at. Time and place for everything.

I just asked a fervent 2nd amendment supporter how he feels if Trump were to lose next year and he said "UKO is a dork."
Apparently UKO thinks that a Constitutional Amendment can be overturned by executive action.
Lots of people think lots of things until faced with reality. Anything’s possible in a cocoon of what-if’s.
What if GYERO didn’t have an ignore button *shudders*
