I like people who use the medium to improve my experience and, by gawd, he does. Again, I say that with gritted teeth and this is in no way an endorsement of KL as a human.
Man, that sucks. RIP, Bret. Few enjoyed being a Kentucky Wildcat more than he did.
Seems like yesterday we were at the Embassy Nashville trying to get lbsloot to wax him.
RIP BEAR
RIP BEAR
Well that sucks. I know we busted his balls a lot here but I found his posts entertaining...and he offered a glimpse into a world most of us can't even imagine. Sad.
Man...He seemed like a big ole teddy bear. He was so cool with sharing his behind the scene stories regarding working in the Nuggets’ front office and the relationships he had with some well known NBA players & coaches. RIP.
I mean he was the right hand guy for one of the richest sports owners in the world. Arsenal, LA Rams, Nuggets, Avalanche, etc. Traveling everywhere in a "metal tube"...drinking wine and coffee. Dude lived a full life. His son Ben is a trip. He was so proud of all his kids. Bummed.
It's all terrible, bit do we need to call them survivors? I mean, did any of them die?
I get it. We all have to be the mostmoutraged anyone has ever been outraged because omg metoo, and anything other than the most outrage that anyone has ever outraged, have I mentioned it was a horrible thing they went through. But it's a bit silly to act like they survived a war, maybe a war against fingerbang child rape by creepy old men.
Also, there is zero doubt in my mind that dude is going to get what he's got coming in prison.

Hitting me hard. I didn't get to meet him the way you guys did, but he and I talked regularly on Facebook. He had made a lot of changes to his life, just like me, and to hear that he's gone at 56....man.
It doesn't help that tomorrow is my brother's first birthday since his passing. Would've been 40. So I'm already kind of all over the place. And to add this....not ideal.
Life is a vapor.

I was plugging along ok for a guy who's played 4 times all year against a field of mini-tour pros, but I just completely lost my golf swing down the stretch. Snapped one into the weeds on 14. Cold topped it off 16 into the hazard, snapped another one into the hazard, and by the time I got it into the fairway, I cold topped it from there too. Felt like an out of body experience. Flared it into the pond off #17 after all that mess too. I've been hitting balls with some regularity, but the game obviously isn't tournament ready just yet.
Played with the guy who medaled. Smoothest round of golf I've ever seen. He hardly hit an approach shot all day that wasn't right at the flag. He could have scared Teater's course record (61) if his putter would have been red hot. 65 was about the worst he could have shot.

Back to catching up on GYERO...
* Truth be told, BretB was a GYERO Man if there ever was one. World traveler, wine connoisseur and entrepreneur, well connected in the world of sports and celebrity, and shamelessly, completely unapologetic in his humblebragging approach to social media posting. RIP, Bear.
* Weekend plans....
- Tchoupitoulas Barathon tonight. 6pm. 6 mile run with 6 bar stops and 6 beers. The very loosely coordinated race has a field of over 500 runners, and has been around for almost 40 years. Extremely competitive field, and a true New Orleans institution. My goal is to do it in about a 7:15-7:30 pace, including brewskies.
- Lady friend and I are planning "sexy date night." Not exactly sure what that's gonna lead us into, but likely a trip to Hustler, some choking, restraining devices, lubricant, and such. True romance, imo. :fire::boom:
- Clark Creek for some waterfalls and elevation running training on Sunday with my hipster bearded friend Zack. Dude is a teacher, and his class is......urban farming. That's it. Freaking hipsters, man..
* Haven't even turned on my television since Sunday. Feels great.
* You know who doesn't get the respect the deserves?? Danny Ainge. Who's been a better executive in the NBA the last 25 years? RC Buford in San Antonio (although I'm not sure exactly where Pop's job ends and his begins)? Pat Riley?
Ainge has absolutely crushed his competition on nearly every trade he's ever made. It's amazing.
* #8 pick in the NBA Draft --> the last one to become an All Star was that loveable alcoholic Vin Baker. #cursed
* wcc gets married next week. :scream::scream::scream:

56 used to seem really old to me. Not so much now. R.I.P. Bret. Never met him, but the fact that he would hang out/chat with a random group of nobody internet yahoos says a lot about him.
The endless Twitter tributes are something -- seemed loved by just about everyone he came across (which is basically everyone in sports), and always had time for everyone. "Larger than life", "relentless learner", "wickedly smart", "a true character" Same words over and over. So sad.
Social media makes deaths especially weird. One minute you're reading a post from that person, and the next they're just gone.

WS is trying to sell us a corporate tent, she needs to try harder if you know what I'm saying.
Bearup sent me some Facebook messages in the past. That dude was so connected in basketball circles. Dude knew some crazy stuff about the real goings on in the world of hoops.
