TGIF! Copa Mundial rolls on and knockout games start Sunday. Let’s get to it.

Word Count Filler Time

We all laugh at U*NC because they’re not really a school for the athletes. But did you know in 2001 UGA had a class for their hardwood ball players taught by their assistant coach Jim Harrick, Jr. titled “Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball” to get them an easy A? They did, and here are some questions from the final exam in that class.

  1. How many goals are on a basketball court?
    a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4
  2. How many players are allowed to play on a team at one time?
    a) 2 b) 3 c) 4 d) 5
  3. How many halves are in a basketball game?
    a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4
  4. How many quarters?
    a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4
  5. How many points does a 3-point field goal account for in a basketball game?
    a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4
  6. Draw the half court line
  7. What is the name of the exam which all Georgia high school seniors must pass?
    a) Eye Exam b) How Do The Grits Taste Exam c) Bug Control Exam d) Georgia Exit Exam
  8. If you go on to become a huge coaching success, to whom will you tribute the credit?
    a) Mike Krzyzewski b) Bobby Knight c) John Wooden d) Jim Harrick, Jr. [the assistant coach that teaches this class]
  9. Who is the best assistant coach in the country?
    a) Ron Jursa b) John Pelphery c) Jim Harrick, Jr. d) Steve Wojciechowski
  10. Draw the 3-point line

I was going to include an answer key but I won’t insult your intelligence with such frippery.

yeah right

We are officially on Ghetto Bird alert in Pedro!

It’s about 1 block over and 4 blocks down.

Motherfuckers only do this because it’s got to be one of the most incredible helicopter flights of all time.

Straight down the beach, round Palos Verdes and come in over the entrance to the harbor?

Pilot has his cousin from Arkansas on leave out here and showing the sights.

Disturbing my righteous ass.

I tell ya…

Senor Weaselo

Update!
Senegal in, Iran number 1 (on the bubble), Uruguay already out (with Austria/Algeria and Ghana/Croatia already on 3+ points)

Brick Meathook

I know there’s a bunch of lawyers here, but do any of you have an office that looks like this dude’s office? No? Man, you’re just phoning it in.

https://ibb.co/HLtnn05C

yeah right

Three day weekend this week and next with a 3 day work week in between.

I can work with that.

Happy Friday!

Horatio Cornblower

We should, can, must, and will find a way to keep the Scots around for the duration of the tournament.

SonOfSpam

Anyone watching the Iran-Egypt game?

Have the players started making out yet?

yeah right

I watched for about 4 minutes just because of the Pride thing you mentioned earlier.

That’s a great fucking story by the way.

Then I switched to Belgium NZ.

Quality of play has been similar.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Oh good, the neighborhood miscreants are firing off fireworks again

SonOfSpam

“Kill them.”

-my dogs

-also me

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yes, you know I’m obviously the John Wick of my neighborhood

SonOfSpam

In that you have questionable facial hair, yes.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Also in that the tips he bestows upon service workers consist of a single coin.

Horatio Cornblower

Let’s fucking go, Arsenal player Leandro Trossard!!!

Horatio Cornblower

Let’s get ready for a penalty kick!

But wait!!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

While I disagree with the decision, that should have at least been a corner kick, no?

Horatio Cornblower

I hadn’t thought of that but yes, I’m not sure why that wasn’t.

I do agree it wasn’t a handball under the current iteration of the rules.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Yeah, the masses have convinced me. I thought it got in between the ball’s path and the goal but I guess not.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Me: I should go to sleep
Brain: Carlton-West Coast is on, watch that instead of going to sleep
Me: You sonuvabitch, I’m in.

Horatio Cornblower

Tomorrow’s Saturday.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yeah but I’m waking up to play footy tomorrow

Horatio Cornblower

Do you want to sleep, or do you want to grind game film to get better?

Me personally I’d sleep. At 57 I ain’t getting any better.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Yeah but I also suck at sleeping.

Checkmate.

Horatio Cornblower

Makes your decision that much easier.

SonOfSpam

Great, maybe you can learn something from watching the match, like “be as big and strong and fast and skilled as those guys”

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I wonder if I could grow a mullet overnight…

Senor Weaselo

Remember, it’s not the mullet on the outside that counts, but the mullet on the inside.

yeah right

In some unexpected foresight, I took Monday off which makes this a 3 day weekend.

It also means next weekend is a 3 day weekend too.

Which means!

Three day work week in between.

Let’s get after it up in here!

Horatio Cornblower

Pretty sure the Yankees game has been over for a while now.

SonOfSpam

Hey, you’re still in second, that’s pretty good!

Tough round ball exam here tonight Ayo. Lady number 6 would be my hawt tub Honey.

Those 70’s porno shoot photos are terrific, until you realize the girl probably OD’d on heroin sometime in the early 80’s.

2Pack

Or caugh herpes in the gratto at Hughes place.

Doktor Zymm

Although, if that’s where your mind goes they can’t be that good

Horatio Cornblower

I blame the Bob Guccione documentary I watched.

Jesus Christ was that dude a mess.

SonOfSpam

Duh, he’s Italian.

blaxabbath

I love watching these soccer guys shooting their little roster videos. Nfl guys just look ready to murder. These Egyptian dudes will look you square in the eye, smile, and then detonate the bomb under their vest.

Horatio Cornblower

The hotel we’re staying at in Quebec just emailed me to offer me the chance to upgrade to one of the upper level suites. I’d save over $780 Canadien, so long as I were willing to pay $2,800+ Canadian.

A night.

Do they have any idea how many Applebee’s dinners that would buy?

blaxabbath

Gotta spend money to make.money. That’s Enron 101.

Horatio Cornblower

I’d be a fool not to do it!

Plus they’re Canadien dollars. It’s not like it’s actual money.

Horatio Cornblower

JEEP! BUILT FOR AMERICA! DRIVEN BY HEROES!

Motherfucker, those people are just trying to get to Big Y to do the grocery shopping.

blaxabbath

Anyone selling me their 75 year old history needs to uodate their reference.

Chrysler

BrettFavresColonoscopy

“yeah, 75 years is as far back as you should look”

–Volkswagen

Me, wearing my orange Fanta T-shirt. “Look, I didn’t know, OK!?!?!?”

Just learned that the last season of The Bear dropped and it’s a real testament to how far up its own ass that show went that my reaction was “eh, maybe while I’m off the week after next I’ll dip into it”

SonOfSpam

Never seen a minute. I read early on that the main character was Carmine but went by “Carmy” and was just like

Horatio Cornblower

The first couple of seasons are really good. There’s an episode with Jamie lee Curtis as the mother that is some of the best television I’ve ever seen.

And then there are two more seasons.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Perhaps I’ll make myself a Manhattan this evening in tribute to Senor Weaselo’s NBA Champion New York Fartknockers I mean Knickerbockers.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

You could always make a Superstorm Sandy.

That’s just a watered down Manhattan.

She was so hot in that film, and yet so goddamn boring at the same time.

Way to go, Lucas.

Finally finished the GWS-Hawthorn game. Balls, you can write up that it wasn’t as close as the score indicated.

ballsofsteelandfury

Yeah, unfortunately I saw that. Jesus!

Senor Weaselo

Holy shit Cape Verde! Three draws is all you need!

Updated 3rd place standings:
SWE (4 pts, 0, 7 GF)
ECU (4 pts, 0, 2 GF)
BIH (4 pts, -1)
PAR (4 pts, -2)
SEN (3 pts, +2)
KOR (3 pts, -1)
SCO (3 pts, -3)
URU (2 pts, -1)

4 groups pending means the 4 point teams are in and Senegal is on the bubble.

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t know what the over will be in Argentina-Cape Verde but I am going to hit it like it ran over my dog.

ballsofsteelandfury

Cabo Verde!!! 2nd in group and Uruguay is eliminated!

Horatio Cornblower

Would have been offsides anyway.

Horatio Cornblower

No need for any photos after that first one.

Redshirt

Holy crap! The Reds scored more points than the other team? Huh.

Redshirt

Even the website is confused.

Underboob is so wonderful!

Allegedly

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m full of tri-tip and potatoes. So…quite all right.

ArmedandHammered

excellent! i had a really good pizza, crumble cookies, and decent weed, feeling no pain, except my distended stomach

Fronkenshteen

I watched a documentary about Leeds United when they got promoted back to the Premier League a few years back with Bielsa at the helm. Seemed like he just ran their lungs out in training, and was a complete nutritional control freak, reducing them all to minimum levels of body fat. Their practice sessions were so notoriously intense the players called it “murderball”.

I’ve recently read mewling leaking from the Uruguayan locker room about unnecessarily rigorous training sessions they feel he’s been putting them through here. If’n yer GAMBLOR’n tonight, I think that goal finished Uruguay, and they’re about to spit the bit and go home.

THE PICK (at the turn): OVER 3.5 goals +410

well….

Doktor Zymm

Halves and quarters? Them be fractions!

WCS

See? They are doing actual school work!

Senor Weaselo

Don’t tell the music students that, the math frightens them!

SonOfSpam

Are we all rooting for Cabo Verde to destroy the Bonesaws?

Fronkenshteen

I’m rooting for solar and wind generated power, but Cabo Verde will do nicely.
