Anybody remember Stotesbury Manor/Whiemarsh Hall?  Or Del Ennis bowling alley?

Y’all take care and make accommodations this next week or so.  And let’s keep an eye out for the neighbors.

Remember, Embiid didn’t heal from that first operation, done before we drafted him.  Harris wanted insurance. Hinkie was more confidant, and wanted Noel to learn the PF position while playing with Jahlil, who Hinkie then had traded with Danny for Boston’s pick (which turned into #4 and Brown), except Jerry stepped in, and that was pretty much when Sam was shown the door. 

I'm done giving Turner his 'get out of jail free' card. Time to put up your $30 million a year results. It's not looking like he's going to do squat this year. He looks foolish at the plate and they should push him down. Bohm and Stott have both hit well around the top of the order so Thomason's excuse about guys may not feel comfortable up there is total bullsh!t.

Yet he was great with Team USA just before the MLB season.  HRs even.  I remember when he first got traded to the Nats he was fantastic, but Rizzo was dead set on figuring out if Desmond or Espinosa (who he thought were great steals) weren’t destined for it.  So Dusty told him he had done good, but they were going to send him back down to AAA, and that he should enjoy “feasting” on the pitching.  Instead, he struggled miserably, and it took him a while to adjust when they finally brought him back up. Finally in the middle of winning a title, and then wows the crowds in LA with his slick play.  He’s a hard one to figure.

My self-serving spin is that Elton probably didn’t have much say when they traded for Zhaire.  I thought his moves for Jimmy and Tobias were bold.  Everybody was talking about that starting line-up.  But Harris wanted to look like a good guy by resigning Brown, who demanded that Jimmy be shut-up.   So, yeah, he did outbid himself to re-sign TH, in response to that awful trade. The situation with Horford remains a puzzle.  Almost like dealing with a double agent or something.

After a serious brush with mortality this weekend, will BB face up to the fact that his partnership with fringe, rabid hardliner’s can only lead to the end of the original ideals of the return to Palestine, while completing the apartheid/displacement (at best) of the indigenous people, all for the sake of beating a corruption rap?

If you’re speaking automated, no other sport uses that type of technology. There are awful calls in each sport . The umpires must be held to a higher standard or be replaced

Well, there’s tennis.  After a particularly embarrassing Wimbledon plagued by legacy calls, the Skyhawk system was suddenly ubiquitous at the major events.  Yeah, on an appeal basis, but its made a huge difference.
