Sunday second cup of coffee randos:
-- Instead of "you're welcome" I've always been a "no worries" guy. I know some see it as a little condescending but I like its relaxed, informal vibe. Like, "Yeah, I'm a great person, I do this kind of **** all the time, no big deal." But I overheard a young debutante respond to a friend of hers who was thanking her for a ride by saying "Oh, of course." Now that's where I draw the GD line. That's just going too far.
-- Last couple of years have been rough for sports life and society as a whole, but I'm not even sure 2020 or 2021 crack White Wayne's top 5 worst years in U.S. history:
1. 1863
2. 1865
3. 2008 (a veritable slap in the face - his words)
4. 1954
5. 1964
I've heard Wayne does not like the blacks
-- I still find it hard to believe that James Brown was a real person and not some sort of like Joaquin Phoenix or Andy Kaufman like character. I need to pick up a biography on this guy, what a life:
-- 44th place out of 44 people in my work March Madness pool (that's dead last BTW for those keeping score at home). WTF has happened to me? I used to consistently finish near the top of these and nail a few upsets.
-- Kansas/UNC parlay at -134 for each to win straight up seems like easy money though. Miami only as a 5.5 point dog does concern me though - can they pull the upset? I can't see it... I think McCormack is due for a big game with 18 and 12 and Kansas rolls to complete the ultimate bracket of sadness.
