So at Braves games this year you can get this: A burgerizza $26



It’s 20 ounces of beef, topped with five slices of cheddar, yummy bacon and served between two eight-inch pepperoni pizzas.

Mississippi St has the #4 recruiting class for '16, behind UK, Duke, Sparty.

Pretty impressive haul for Howland - 6 top 100 players.

Brassow had committed to Sutton before all hell broke loose and he was from Texas. When all the other recruits bailed out, Brassow kept his commitment so major points for that. UK basketball became a thing for me about age 9. I thought Macy was all-god. Then as a teenager loved Kenny Walker, never cared for Chapman.

Biggest appreciation for Chuck Hayes, key contributor for 3 of 4 of Tubby's greatest teams, played with the biggest collection of goofballs and knuckleheads from the beginning to the end of his career and was the glue who held it all together, and then he cried like a baby on Senior Day, which got me misty-eyed. After he left, the deluge of the Tubby years even though we still had Rondo, Sparks, Bradley, Crawford and Morris, and evntually almost nothing.

Your favorite player is Heshimu Evans. An odd choice.

“I’m grateful to HBO for telling my story and I’d like to thank everyone for their ongoing support. I have acute myeloid leukemia, an aggressive type of cancer. The typical prognosis is 3-6 months to live, but I would like to stress that is for a patient who is not receiving treatment. Fortunately, I am receiving the best treatment in the world and I remain fully confident I will win this battle.

Not Katzenjammer Kids IIRC - that was Conley, Mickey Gibson (Hazard?) and Kron, I believe. Freshman label.

Reserve the right to be wrong. Lou T was way earlier than those guys.

Yeah, I think you're right. Thought he was on some lesser-known nickname team, but I'm probably mistaken considering I read "Big Blue Machine" over 20 years ago.

* Spent the morning photographing a crane picking up a Toyota Tundra and putting it on top of an elevator shaft in Great American Ball Park.

Got a little dicey a few times due to the wind.

Ball Park is looking good. They've added a couple more bars. That brings the total to 27 bars added since Castellini took over. :cheers2:

Their pitching is going to suck, but by gawd you won't have a hard time finding a drink.

* This year was my 16th SEC Tournament in a row. The Cats are 31-9 during that span with 7 titles.

Not too shabby for a Buckeye fan.

* I have been to 3 OSU athletic events in my life, though. A Rose Bowl where they beat Oregon, the 2012 Final Four when they lost to Kansas before we beat UL and this year's debacle in Brooklyn.

* Energizing Midnight Grape Mt. Dew Kick Start. Not bad. I guarantee the coloreds, Mashburned and Derek Willis love it.

* Jimmy John's #14 Unwich for lunch.

* Dicky Beal, Kenny Walker, Rex Chapman, Mash, Cousins and Ulis are my favs. Beal gets bonus points for making the illiterate slum lord councilman stop using his name for his screen name.

* A Craft Beer market just opened 1/2 a mile from my house. [banana]

* Spent a couple grand on landscaping this week, but the yard looks fantastic.

Now I need to buy a new lawnmower. I want a self-propelled walk behind, not a riding mower. I like the exercise (don't you dare laugh at me you SOBs). Any suggestions.. Huber?

* Every day is Palm Sunday for BBdK.

<--- Scott Padgett.

Waited tables/bartended with his then-girlffriend/now-wife during the time he was kicked off the team ---> mowed lawns ---> got back on the team ----> 1998 title run. Got to know him a little bit and talk basketball every time he came in to the restaurant.

Rack @UnfrozenCatfanLawyer on 1998. Amazing year to be a Kentucky fan.

I like a Honda self-propelled mower for private use, Willy.

That is what I have had previously. No real complaints except it really wore out quickly. (knobs, padding, etc.) Another one is definitely in the running.

I hear good things about Toro.

I got a honda hrr216 last year, and it's cool, but idk much about it. It was just under 400 and the cool commercial ones with composite decks start around 800. I feel like you can get a comparable mower for less. I also feel like there's a lot of plastic and stuff that will not hold up well. I feel like a mowing amatuer who didn't make the best decision, tbh.

What wore out on yours? Did you maintain it well?

All of the padding around the handle fell apart. When you tried to change speeds it immediately died. A few knobs fell off.

I had the blades sharpened and changed the oil and filter. That was about it.

It was a good mower and got a lot of use, I was just wondering if there isn't something better for a similar price.

Was hoping Superman/Batman would be epic, but if it sucks I hope it all gets blamed on Ben Affleck.

Any mower that helps you push the damn thing is decidedly NOT gritty. Have some gd pride.

25+ year old Toro I "borrowed" from my dad when I bought my first house. Tuned it up once, sharpen blades every year. Little blue smoke every now and then the way nature intended. GRIT.

It's crafty and smart. Plus, to the passerby it may seem like you're push mowing your lawn at an incredible pace with incredible ease. This will boost your neighborhood cred.

The amount of duct tape, amount of smoke produced and decibel level (think Geesefeeder) definitely registered high on the Grittiness scale by the end of last year.

My neighbor has the most pristine lawn I've ever seen. Blades of grass green as emeralds, and thick as Suter's mane. It's unreal. He has all the fancy toys. Cuts, clips, trims, edges everything himself. Feel like he is doing something almost daily outside.

Sort of torn with helping out industrious young workers/laziness vs the pride of lawnsmanship.

I can see the look of disgust on the neighbors face when my crew rolls up to take care of things.

From most accounts I've read thus far, he turned in a pretty good performance.

If you're wanting to blame someone, point the finger at Zack Snyder for butchering this project to pieces. Dumb gaffot.

I actually enjoy cutting the grass. Takes me about 1 1/2 hours now as opposed to 20 minutes at the old house.

Listen to Marty & the Cowboy on the headphones or one of my Bonzoesque playlists if the Reds aren't playing.

It is pretty enjoyable for someone who is usually sitting in front of a damn computer all day.

Until I step in a bunch of dog crap that some dog walking jerk failed to properly pick up, anyway.

Haven't mowed the yard in ~3 years. No time. I only have a few hours of downtime each week, and damned if i'm gonna spend it pushing some damn machine all over God's creation.

Figure I'll pick it up again when I retire.
