I mean, I love Bam and Herro - but don’t you think granny and the nursing home could use a couple of those pooches first?
OBVIOUS TAKE ALERT
-sportswriters were cool/neccessary before "the age of information". They told the story of sports...not neccessary now that everything is live/social media/in real time. Now instead of telling the story of the game...they stir ****. They used to be "experts" due to access...now they're useless.

Dogs are unreal, man.
Probably something to this. Nothing quite like heading out on Sunday morning to get the paper to read up on the beatdown of Cards the day prior.
Worthless, because I'm an honest dude, they saw me drinking from day 1. Now they all booze with me. Even her sisters. What else you got? Ol Anth is an open book. Final warning.
I have to. If I’m outted as a morally reprehensible prick, as Anth threatened to do, my woke cred is immediately revoked and then who am I on social media? Just some regular ol’ common bloke with issues, flaws and missteps? Nobody wants to be human on my team. I HAVE to stay above all these ‘ists and I will do anything to stay there. If that means ruining a friendship with Sloot and getting Anth in the doghouse so be it.
"HAP-PY A HAPPY DOG ISJUSTA HAPPA HAPPA HAPPY DOG!"
Never done a Keeneland-Commonwealth double, but might just have to make it happen this fall. Potentially struggling Florida and LSU teams at home back to back in October. Ripe for the pickin. Shew. #FlaskUp
Have some appreciation for Lomax-esque blues (not like a daily listen or anything), but I've definitely never been able to get into middle aged white dudes shredding blues licks. Marcus Welby just walk through a Guitar Center. Eaglehart nailed it with the Deke and the Growlers episode. Team Hank and Team Ramones.
Starting to look at a Maine coast summer vacation. Gotta hit up Acadia and eat too many lobstah rolls (Connecticut style, of course). Anyone have any other recs?

Spoke to Chris Davis about 15 minutes before the HOF announcement and he agreed that writers shouldn't be voting. He also knows he will not be in the HOF.
Day trip to Block Island, RI on your way up to Maine. That’s a solid-*** rec.
I still can't believe Harold Baines is a HoFer. So he was solid for a very long time. Swell. He was never great though. Hall of Fame should be for the greats.
The double at this age just isn't worth it. My double is Friday Keeneland, Saturday Game. Trying to do both shorts both and ends up being a sloppy rushed mess.
Yeah, just sucks having to elbow your way thru the crowded paddock area, walk all the way out to BFE to find your car, fight traffic over to the stadium, find some overpriced lot at some random college kid's house, hike it over to the stadium, spend time hiding a flask on your person to sneak in a little booze, climb all the way up the steps to the upper deck at Commonwealth. Hate that for you, anth.
Lick my balls.
Being away from the scene for a long time, I can easily fire up these 51yo endorphins to execute the nostalgic and sweet Keeneland/MissSt FB game combo.
Being too close spoils it for some.

-clubhouse/box or reserved seating/"restaurant" reservations.
^one of those is required to go to keeneland. Standing around all day is a nonstarter. Judge away...but Im too sober to fight the crowds/stand all day.

Keeneland/FB game double was great in college. As Tony said though, you short change yourself on the best aspects of both if you try to squeeze it all into one day.
If you dont short change yourself, you blackout.

Total confirmation that I was right.
And Stephen Perkins is underrated as hell. My favorite drummer.

A night at the Red Lion is mandatory, whenever I'm up there. I've got a hardon for that bar.
The proper play would be Keeneland on Friday, an agreeable meal on Friday night and get up on Saturday morning ready for some Kates.
Huge Jane’s addiction fan, still love them. One of my favorites that haven’t gotten to see live.
Cant believe Chad is such a ***** to threaten to besmirch someone’s wife to her family just to spite her husband. Oh wait, yes I can...the left.
The keeneland double is painful but still can be done well and enjoyably, but yes you have to approach it with a full head of steam and trim some fat. Need clubhouse or a table. Early start, early exit and then hit the tailgate scene and profit. Also really helps to have a bubster with a house by the stadium. I successfully employed this strategy in 2019.
Finally getting to try the Save-a-lot/Critchfield fried chicken tonight. Pretty excited.

Last time I pulled off the double was the Georgia game of ‘14 (?) when there was a stabbing / riot at the Ho. I was a zombie at work for about 1.5 weeks thereafter. Brain dead.
**** that. Give me a JAM packed, can't move, bathroom line around the clubhouse, crack beer going down like crack beer, bonzo doing his tigger dance, long *** wagering lines, sloppy Keeneland drunk. Throw in an obnoxious uber line and walk halfway across the grounds because they actually moved the uber meet point but we're too drunk to communicate with the driver. The works. Every annoyance that comes with a stupid crowded Keeneland Saturday. It would be like heaven right now.
Plus lots of hot young ***.
Shew, actually being in a crowd at Keeneland sounds pretty dope right now.
The next time I go to Keeneland most of the “kids” there will have been born after I graduated college, with a heavy percentage having been born after I graduated law school. None will have a conscious memory of 9/11.
Thoughts while sitting in a middle school parking lot on a cold late January evening.

Get out of your own head Max, just enjoy the show...circle of life.
The fried chicken was good. Still think the best is Willa Mae’s in Nola. Maybe it just makes me nostalgic hanging out with my bro casey. He lives in New Orleans.
Not sure where the hell this came from, but I’m watching Condorman tonight...great Porsche scenes.
