It’s only gambling if you don’t have a fool-proof system.

Bloody nose, empty pockets
A rented car with a trunk full of guns
It ain't true that the sun don't rise in Vegas
I've seen it once
She might have been somebody's mama
He might have been somebody's son
But if the sun went down on them that night in Vegas
Their luck was good as gone
They'll be after me by the time the buffet closes
Making sure Sin City still shines brighter than creation's dark
If all you need is a badge to take what's left from those who lost it
A badge ain't no more real than bullets are
A bloody nose, empty pockets
A rented car with a trunk full of guns
Checkout time is sundown in Las Vegas
But it only rises once

3/4 lb of brisket and hot guts sausage at Lewis BBQ. Experiencing waves of euphoria.
Perhaps there should be a forum for comments on the non-basketball/non-Duke stories that appear on the DBR front page.
If this forum is for random thoughts, I had one based on today's story about Chuck Wepner vs. Mohammad Ali.
Here is the quote from the story:
Unfortunately for Webber (SIC), Ali, who wasn’t in great shape for this fight, came off of stool ready to make Wepner pay. He cut him open above both eyes and broke his nose before the official called the fight on a TKO late in the 15th round.
What I remember from the fight was Wepner's nickname, "The Bayonne Bleeder." Of course Ali cut him; I'm surprised Wepner didn't start bleeding (from fear) before the fight.
Here's a quote from the following article:
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...time-nicknames
Chuck Wepner (35-14-2, 17 KOs) was a rugged heavyweight who was stopped in the 15th round by Muhammad Ali in 1975. Credited as the inspiration for Rocky, Wepner is an almost mythological figure for the punishment he absorbed and the amount he bled.
That aspect of Wepner definitely was portrayed correctly in Rocky.

Was there ever a Henry Cooper vs Chuck Wepner bleeding match (officiated by Florence Nightingale)? I’d love to see the tape
