Roll into Vegas yesterday on the first day the mask mandates were lifted. Super Bowl Week, so people everywhere. Weed smell everywhere, too.

Saw a drunk guy get rolled and robbed just inside of El Cortez downtown right next to our blackjack table. Poor guy was more afraid of getting arrested for public intoxication than what got stolen.

Evel (Knievel) Pie downtown was an excellent choice for late night slices and ales. Recommend.

Staying at Bally’s. Nice room, but the place might as well have been a concert festival. Poor old security guard had his hands full screening elevator access to guests.

Wicked Spoon for brunch and The Steak House reservations tonight. Seems odd that the shittiest strip casino has such a well regarded steak joint. May check out the new Resorts World afterwards.

With that said, I don’t care if any kid wears a mask or not. I don’t think wearing them is protecting the planet and I don’t think it is traumatizing them for life. So I genuinely have no opinion.

First of all, you should care. It is called humanity. That is like saying I don't care if a kid walks around with his arms duct taped to his side.

The "traumatizing them for life" statement is stupid.....it is traumatizing them "now", which is all that matters. Go watch the video of the kids in Israel when they were told to remove their masks in class....their reaction defines everything you need to know.

Being a parent is irrelevant in this situation. Try growing a pair instead of being a liberal idiot 24/7.

My kid wearing a mask his entire school life so far while your bar is packed full of unmasked people all night really isn't really a laughing matter for me, Matt. But I guess it is for your boy.
What is your disagreement? Are you contending the bar should be masked or the school unmasked?

MJ has done quite a bit for UK sports. He did it when it wasn’t popular. The dinosaurs probably gave him a hard time. He did it anyway. He’s added tremendous value to the program and that’s all I want.

Matt has added this much "value" to the UK program: 0. None. Zilch.

Even when down, the "program" was never in trouble, still elite, and didn't need a blow hard to resurrect it.

Your talk show idols are a dime a dozen w/ their egos that exceed any level of actual sports knowledge they think they possess.

Haven't enjoyed yet but haven't heard otherwise. I'm almost exclusively a Fishery and Fish House guy at this point. Don't sleep on FABD's, though. Somehow it's much better than the sister restaurant Hooked on Frankfort, which is very average.
The Fishery is not as good as it was 30 years ago. Fish House is good. But, try Franco’s!! Great catfish.

I believe that. Experience matters. I also believe that’s true about many other topics that you (not you specifically but people in general) are perfectly confident having opinions about. I see a lot of people telling black people should feel about racism (or how much they experience), or women how they should feel about various issues or a host of other issues. And they feel confident doing it. I am just noting the discrepancy

I think everyone can and should have opinions but we are all much more protective when people wade in on the turf we know without experience but could care less if we do the same.

And now this has gotten much more serious than I meant to and my car trip to Owensboro is over so I will leave you guys to your own accords. Have a good weekend
Is your race example only good for non-blacks giving opinions to black people? Or, do you think that is true for all races attempting to give opinions about the experiences of other races? Likewise on gender.

- @RibsAndWhiteBread how are you? Hang tough - things will get better in a couple months … then keep on getting better and better and better.
So far we're hanging tough. Still trying to figure it all out and we are definitely not on an optimal schedule but slowly but surely it will work out.

Baby is doing well- survived the first trip to the pediatrician yesterday and got a good report. Without going into too much detail, there were some uneasy times and a few little complications over the 9+ months, but by the time she arrived, she was much better. In a December checkup- she wasnt quite 3lbs and we were preparing for early delivery and NICU time- but she turned it on late in the game.

I'm far from an emotional guy- probably to a fault, but the last couple of months, and especially since she was born ive been a bit of a mess.

Who do you guys use for term life policies? We both have good ones from our employer but I need to supplement that now. I'm a prime insurable candidate- not yet 40, no tobacco, 15-20 miles a week on the pavement.

I've been able to watch the last few games in spurts, but haven't seen a game in its entirety since KU. I really dont know how Oscar keeps his composure when every other trip down he's getting pummeled and cheap shotted. I thought earlier in the season the whistle was fairly decent- but its reverted back to complete SEC garbage rewarding **** teams with ******** coaches not able to play actual basketball so lets just turn this into one big pile of terrible.

Speaking of people that can go to hell- Joe West is retiring. The one job that's apparently more secure than a supreme court appointment is being an obese MLB umpire. Its been the same guys since we were kids. F Joe West.

How does the 19-20 team do in the tourney assuming it took place? On one hand, that team was really clicking late with Quickley and Maxey and Richards. On the other hand, you had Hagans who quit before the last reg season game and was probably the player I have trusted the least under cal. I say S16 tops.

Probably would have been a 3 or 4 seed if I remember correctly.

We've moved on to fried fish. Another topic I'm truly passionate about. Thankfully you can't get a decent sandwich in Fayette County so my improvements to diet will continue.
A lot of people will say Charlie's, which is extremely overrated imo.

Hit up Ramsay's, Smithtown Seafood, or Winchell's for a good fish sandwich in Lexington.

Evel is the best slice in Vegas imo, enjoy Pdre. Great timing on the masks...

Check out the bar directly across the street for your Fremont Pregame, Corduroy -- Habanero Pickle Backs ftw.


-Passtime gets all the love these days for sure, never been. Always had a soft spot for Hill St. Fish Fry - back in my mortgage days, we'd take turns fetching that about every Friday in season.

* Postseason starts for my 2-seeded 4th grade Bobcat girls tomorrow. Win 2 tomorrow and we are playing at 2:00 Sunday for the ship. We've got a pretty good chance. All of the top 5 teams are pretty even, though.

* Andrew Whitworth is the best-looking man in sports. Period.

* Wife's family and a few neighbors are coming to my pad for the Super Bowl. I banned all the hens, kids and people who don't care about football (I'm looking at you, Uncle Julio) from the basement. You wanna talk during the game? Enjoy the living room.

I did get a sweet new charcuterie board that I will have loaded up upstairs to get them busy while they loudly chat throughout the entire touching game.

* My Who Deys have a legit 50/50 chance. Like my boy wcc said, the Rams are a freaking 4-seed as well, not the juggernaut that some are making them out to be all of a sudden. Look for Boyd and Higgins to have big games.

The Rams have a huge advantage on the DL, but we have Joe Burrow and they have Matt Stafford. (post obligatory Stafford UGA pic with the red forehead after getting his *** kicked by UK)

* Due to a large amount of people to feed and the potential for me coaching beforehand, I am keeping it simple with pulled pork, smoked wings, smoked chorizo queso and the aforementioned charcuterie board that will include various smoked sausages, cheeses, fruit, veggies and dips.

* Krazy, I will be drinking lots of Down Home during the game. When big plays are needed, I will switch up to my Chris Krentz Memorial Fund New Riff Single Barrel Select. My buddy Krentzy was a huge Bengals fan and I believe he will continue to help us out from upstairs when the opportunity arises.

If we win, I will be sharing one of my higher end bourbons with my neighbor. If we lose, I will probably try heroin for the first time.

* Regardless of the outcome, I will probably start dieting and working out on Monday.

* The 9-yr old spilled something last night and I did my best curling impersonation with the Swiffer. My girls had no idea what I was doing, so I turned on the Olympics and lo and behold, curling was on. They are now fascinated with curling. "How is that a sport?" I don't know, kids. I don't know.

* The little American traitor competing for China is a legit smokeshow. Gu, I believe her name is.

* I could use a beer right now.

* Apparently there is a cream cheese shortage in the area. Just in time for Super Bowl dips.

* Friday 5

The Who - Pinball Wizard
Van Halen - Jamie's Cryin'
Motley Crue - Home Sweet Home
Warren G - Regulate
Little Richard - Lucille

* I feel a Gator-chompin' ***-whoopin' coming on Saturday that our boys in Blue will be celebrating.

* Speaking of celebrating, do it up right, my NKY/Cincy Gyeromaniacs. Be safe, have fun and get in the pit and try to love someone.

WHO DEY!

-if everyone was required to have direct experience/extensive knowledge of a subject to speak/have an opinion on something...wtf would that look like?

^only people who pay federal income tax should have a say in how it's spent.


Agreed brother Rudd

It would also eliminate opinions on what’s best for children - from those who plan to have none right?

also - the terms/groups and conditions are so vague in the original statement, its difficult to validate b/c the application could be radically universal or mundane and very specific

i should probably go back and see what the origins of the convo were....i may have missed key information

Best fried fish in Louisville is Highland Park fish fry, located on Briscoe lane at Preston and Blue Lick. You're welcome foodies.

*Forgot to mention, last week we had a potential customer tour the building. They are a restaurant equipment distribution company out of Madisonville, KY.

I took the opportunity to drop the names of a lawyer and chicken heir. They knew both. From there, stories about the Eli and the Mexican restaurant at the clubhouse.

Needless to say, the visit went very well.

Thanks Madisonville!

It’s fun to go to the Super Bowl, once, especially if you have good seats. Would never go back.

Depends on the rose’. I have had some good Washington small batch rose’s that were not too sweet. That said, sometimes I compromise with the wife when she does not want a red.

First, 98-69

Second, your hate blinds you. I don’t have time to explain to you how much value he has added to the program over the last 15-20 years. Love him or hate him he’s added tremendous value. Just in ways your mind can’t/won’t process.

Go Cats!

We went to Suggins on a whim a couple Fridays ago because my wife had never been and I was shocked at how low the prices still are. Definitely going to be in the rotation now when we take the kids out.

Never met Matt, don't agree with a lot of his stances but this guy was a voice in the wilderness going after UofL during the Jurich reign of terror when every other local sports media, entertainer, journalist was too scared to. That means a lot to me with all the garbage that has happened at Floyd Street over the years, so he's alright in my book.
