Lincoln sure had some big logs, if you know what I mean.

And it is said that Adams's family was quite strange.

Or perhaps I should have said weird?

As were his apples. At times.

(Not to reignite the whole apostrophe thing).

Creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky.

Then there's ooky.

Figured someone was out there Biden their time waiting to make this joke.

Reflecting overnight on Curry’s last shot, the behind the back, fall away 3… that might have been the most incredible big game, big moment shot I’ve ever seen.

That or a certain Villanova shot that I enjoyed immensely.

Welcome back.

As far as ruining threads goes, we are good at it because we practice a lot.

Puns make me feel human. They make me Fillmore joy.

Puns are like turkey. You just can’t get enough.

Christian Laettner wants a word with you.


But yeah — Curry’s shot was crazy. Wrong foot, double-teamed, fading away. And USA was only up 6 IIRC; a miss and a three on the other end makes it a losable ballgame.

I assume that's a given as all time number one. Goes without saying.

Laettner and Rivers shots are the baseline everything else is judged against for non-Duke heroics. Rivers being a half step below, with the stakes being much lower, but being against UNC in Chapel Hill makes it closer than it should be.

Non-Duke shots will always be secondary to our legends.

Just to drift a little more...I'll always remember Grayson's last second UVA "alleged walk" shot simply because I liked to see Grayson happy at Cameron.

Yup. But I don’t want to take away from Curry. His performance down the stretch was unconscious, and that lollipop moonshot three was so pure it made Heisenberg jealous.

Nuit Nuit, France. Say his name.

I'm just incredibly disappointed in all of you for not making the Steph Curry: there hasn't rain of terror like this in Paris since Robespierre reference

Don’t deny your destiny. Come to the dark side.

I believe several years back he intentionally dropped weight for that very reason. I think 15-20 lbs.

yes, evidently 20 lbs...but he's still a moose of a guy, 250 lbs of muscle and bone...

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.

That’s a great point.
