@HARPER04_5@celtics@76ers Down 1. Got a stop and Queta was on a rim run wide open in the paint all alone. Would have been an easy catch and dunk. Go up 1, place goes bananas and Philly probably takes a TO.
Nope, Pritchard misses WIDE OPEN corner 3.
@stoolpresidente Kevin Garnett is not walking thru that door fans. Paul Pierce is not walking thru that door, Rajon Rondo is not walking thru that door…and if you expect them to walk thru that door, they are going to be grey and old.

Congratulations to @XLPBasketball on winning the American Purple 6th Grade Division! They were undefeated and played lights out through the weekend! #ZGNEHF
@whitenoisepod_@RealCharlieWard ? Wow, I’m getting old if you guys couldn’t think of Charlie Ward as a guy who played both basketball and football in college!!
@kurt13warner Kurt, do you know who Billy Hoyle is?
Because I think he was talking about you in White Men Can’t Jump “You'd rather look good and lose, than look bad and win."
"My name's Harvey. I'm 68. I work the night shift at TravelCenter truck stop on I-40. Pump diesel, ring up snacks, clean showers. Same blue vest for thirteen years. Truckers fuel up, grab coffee, hit the road. Most are gone in fifteen minutes.
But I see who stays parked.
Like the trucker who'd been sitting in his rig for three days. Engine off. Never came inside except for bathroom. No food, no shower, just sitting.
Fourth morning, I knocked on his cab. "You okay, buddy?"
He rolled down the window. Looked exhausted. "Broke down. Waiting on parts. Can't afford to eat and fix the truck both. Truck wins."
"When'd you eat last?"
"Tuesday."
It was Friday.
I went inside, made him a hot dog, brought chips and coffee. "Store policy. Can't sell day-old stuff."
It wasn't day-old. But he was starving.
He cried eating that hot dog.
Started noticing others. The female trucker sleeping in her cab because shower credits cost too much. The rookie driver rationing gas station food because rookie pay barely covers fuel. Truckers choosing between eating and making deliveries on time.
I began keeping food. "Expired" items still perfectly good. When truckers looked desperate, I'd "find" extras they could have.
Word spread on the CB radio. "Harvey at the I-40 TravelCenter helps drivers."
Then something unexpected. A trucker I'd fed years ago made it big, started his own company. Came back, left $1,000. "For drivers who are where I was."
Now our TravelCenter has a "Trucker Relief Fund." Other truck stops copied it. Fifty-three stops across nine states.
I'm 68. I scan Slim Jims and pump diesel fuel at a highway truck stop.
But I learned, truckers deliver everything we need to survive. And they're often starving, broke, sleeping in their cabs because one breakdown destroys them financially.
Watch your lot. Someone's been parked three days without moving. Someone's choosing between fuel and food.
Find the expired snacks. Offer the shower credit. Sometimes a $4 hot dog is what keeps a trucker from giving up on a road that already gave up on them."

@wingoz Brady made a UDFA college lacrosse player his WR2 and a 2X Super Bowl Champion. Let me know the guys name Mahomes picked up off the street and did that with. I’ll hang up and listen…
@JonScheyerMuse 96-00 I was a manger at UK. We had scholarship guys that couldn’t even get on the court because there were so many NBA guys coming back for fall runs.
@paulspacey I was wrong, very last clip shows a pass by a teammate that is completed to the footwork phenom. Prior to that, every “completed” pass was cut half a sec? full sec? short to see if the pass resulted to a teammate or was a turnover? Savy editing tactic by you, but not fooling me.
