Saturday big world thoughts:
-Hot take:
Stranger Things should've ended after the first season. I mean, there are obvious $ reasons why they continued it, and the subsequent seasons are --
fine -- but that first season was one of the best seasons of television I've watched. The rest? A whole lotta meh.
-Kawhi Leonard is the one NBA star who feels like I have no idea how old that dude is. You could tell me he was 28 or going on 37 and I'd probably believe you either way. That guy is a riddle wrapped inside a mystery inside an enigma. Does he still play basketball? Is he still on the planet? Has he developed gills that allow him to breathe underwater?
-Speaking of the #ilikesports, Tacko Fall has the weirdest free throw motion I've ever seen:
I'm gonna need a Zapruder style video that breaks down WTF is going on here. He makes Chuck Hayes look like Mark Price.
-I need to make a day trip back to Indianapolis soon. Had a thought to get up this morning and hit the road but I've been traveling the last couple of weekends and saw it was going to be in the low 90s, so no bueno. My old stomping grounds in Broad Ripple is a pretty cool area and I'd love to take the doggo back to some of our past spots on the Monon Trail. Plus, the near west side has a smashburger diner that has to be the best in the Midwest. I mean, you're getting a damn good burger (along with maybe a knife fight) at a place like this:
Naptown gets slept on.
-I'm a simple man. Dunkin's original blend medium roast hits the spot for this wild stallion. No shame.
-Did you know in kayfabe that the Honky Tonk Man was actually really into pop-punk? I saw that dude losing his **** front row at the Warped Tour in 2022 to Jimmy Eat World. /s
