So, tonight at Total Wine an employee asked someone (actually 2 different people) about their mask, I can only assume they said CDC stuff from today. His reply was its store policy. Just the beginning...

The only reason stores would keep it is due to not wanting to hurt business and fear of the Twitter police. If they start getting pushback from customers and people start giving them trouble about it they will drop it in a hurry. I’m a business owner, I speak from a position of knowledge.

Shaq literally couldn’t shoot outside 2 ft. Couldn’t sniff 60% from FT line either. He had no God given talent. He was just 7’1” and 330lbs. His skill was being bigger than everyone else and being able to dunk.

I'm finished wearing masks. If your store policy requires them, I'll go elsewhere.

Went to Menard’s a few weeks ago looking for an air filter for my mower. Walked in, without a mask, and was informed by the employee stationed at the door that I needed a mask and if I didn’t have one they would sell me one for .49. Nope. Left and won’t be going back. I really can’t stand that place anyway.

I saw Shaq play twice while he at LSU. The Pitino Bombino classic and again at Vandy. That version of Shaq was a far cry from nothing but a big *** post up center. He was freaking agile as ****. Really impressive what a younger Shaq was able to do on the court.

Yes, which is important in basketba

In addition to not being able to shoot, he barely dribbled, he was a below average passer, he constantly carried himself 40+lbs over his playing weight which meant he was he usually missed 15-20 games/season. Kobe got so pissed at him he demanded a “him or me” trade. His skill was being 330lbs and agile (until he gained too much weight wasting 3-4 Lakers years) and 7’1”.

Not sure what you missed but I was talking about Shaq at LSU, you dolt. He was a completely different player then. However, he was still a dominant force in the NBA for years, when big *** centers were a part of the game.

Nolan Ryan has the fastest pitch in history when you correct for how they measured the mph (108 vs Chapman 105.1)...and he pitched across 4 decades with success. Natural. He went 13 innings and 235 pitches in a game in ‘74, threw a no no in 1990.

Pretty incredible.

So what’s the play on businesses still requiring masks? Keep a just in case one on you or tell them to get pumped and taking your business elsewhere?

-the play is to remember that the front line folks don't make the rules...so if they ask you to wear a mask, you wear it without making a German spectacle of yourself.

-shaq is a freak of nature... incredible god given talent. Men his size aren't supposed to move like he does.

I hate to bring up basketball in GYERO, but did anybody notice the new Rivals150 rankings?

Hunter Sallis dropped 26 spots to land at 33.

TyTy moved the opposite direction, up 21 spots to #11.

Nolan Hickman moved up 19 spots to #20.

So now Sallis is ranked third of those three after being way ahead of them in previous rankings.

Speaking of Shaq, these are the types of fairly regular articles that make my $3 per month or whatever promo I always grab to The Athletic worth it.

From Tuesday:




Wild to think of a time when a generational guy like him could legit be a secret until his Jr/Sr year.

**never been my guy, but what Chad is saying is correct. He was simply something yet unseen physically. What a ******* freak monster.

*please don’t be the guy who alerts gyero about Bill, Wilt, or Kareem. Different conversation.

Sallis never really impressed me. Guy is overrated imo.
