Random Thoughts Thread Part 4

Random thought..KD gave us a shot out when he won the Championship but he isn't reppin the DMV right. You cant beat them so JOIN them followed by saying Kyrie better than AI???

does KD not know AI is the "peoples" champ...especially the people in this DMV....

He reps the DMV he just don't want to play here. We would have to get two more all-stars before he ever thought about playing for this franchise, oh and maybe if they relocated too.

Love his talent but hate his character and the way he carries himself like a gump/bama

Happy Father's Day Fellas!




The weather in DC is nice so far....get yours!

Len Bias (1963-1986). Thirty-one years ago, June 19, 1986. Still the most shocking and heartbreaking death of an athlete in DMV history.

Serena overreacted. McEnroe said a ton of complimentary things about her, and the only comment that she and others picked up on was that she's not good enough to beat most male pros. He was asked and he answered. It's his opinion - big deal. And she acts like it's a horrible comment, and how dare he say something like that when she's pregnant. I'm generally a fan of Serena's, but this is a nonsensical battle for her to get into.

Steph Curry got a sponsors exemption to play in a web.com event starting tomorrow. He is a scratch golfer and I am curious to see how he does. He finished 4th in a celebrity golf tourney recently, shooting 68 in the last round.

Shot 74 on Thursday -- not bad at all. I think having a tougher day today....

He played with the the guy who shot a 58 on tour....think about that? 5....8.... if you dont know golf...thats like Wilts 100.

He was impressed with Stephs game. Steph is a full time basketball player and from watching him play HE IS A GREAT GOLFER. If he didnt play basketball he would have a chance on to play pro golf...maybe not PGA right away...but he has the talent and size that if he played in college, played full time amature as a teenager and then played lesser tours...who knows...PGA?

This isnt Jordan playing baseball...its a closer to Tebow who spent so much time playing football that his baseball never had a real chance.

BTW...John was right...but thats not an insult. It's like when Ronda said she could be Money if he jumped in the MMA right. It's just not possible for the best women to beat the best man at the most elite levels of physical competition.

The only woman that could beat a man would be a equally sized boxer might die if he fought the CYBORG in a MMA fight.

Jordan is quite a good golfer too (though not on Steph's level).

Once, playing North Carolina, I was a foursome (or maybe two) ahead of him, & we waited up at the clubhouse to watch his group come in. It was quite a foursome: Jordan, Mario Lemieux, John Elway & some actor.

I don't remember any of their shots, but I can tell you this: Michael Jordan makes a golf cart look really small!

Shooting a 74 in the way Steph did was amazing. The way he started day one he could have shot 90...his game, with his lack of real practice and focus on the sport, is unreal.

Game of Thrones is one of the best TV shows of my lifetime, wow!

TWEET FROM SERENA AFTER McENROE'S REMARKS:

"Dear John, I adore and respect you but please please keep me out of your statements that are not factually based," she said.

"I've never played anyone ranked "there" nor do I have time. Respect me and my privacy as I'm trying to have a baby. Good day sir."

I don't get it. You consider that an overreaction on Serena's part? Seems pretty tame to me. McEnroe can express his opinion but she can't, especially when she's the subject of his remarks? And, btw, McEnroe didn't say that Serena couldn't "beat the best man" in tennis. He said he doesn't think she'd be in the top 700...which is debatable.

I think it was obvious that her comments implied she was bothered by his comments - even though they were meant to be harmless, imo. I can see you disagreeing, but I'm not sure how you don't get it.

Btw, that was a post I made in June. At this point, it's not news and not worth bringing up again.

Wizards offseason...what are you gonna do?

[Kanyewest]

If I was Serena, I wouldn't even think about whatever John said. But I guess sometime it is best to respond if that is really how she feels, hopefully she doesn't spend much time dwelling on it.

Still, I'm more in line that it would be tough for Serena to beat male players, although it would be something I would probably tune into see.

Game of Thrones is one of the best TV shows of my lifetime, wow!

Love it too, but the Sopranos, and The Wire are probably my favorites.

Looking forward to the The Deuce which starts on HBO in September. About rise of porn in NYC in 70s and 80s. From same team as the Wire. Lots of great writers.

Not surprisingly, all have two things in common. Sex and violence.

Have not posted on the board actively in years really, but still been lurking.

I recently moved to the US for work and am looking to have a weekend in DC where I can catch both Wizards and Redskins home games in the same weekend. Now that the NBA schedule is finally out I am looking at the Hawks on Saturday the 11th of November and Vikings the 12th.

I've never been to DC before, does anyone have any suggestions about where to stay, how to get to the games or even what's the best way to go about getting tickets for these games.

I've never seen Wizards play live yet and only ever saw the Redskins at London last year so I am super excited about that weekend.
Any help, advice is much appreciated

Hotels can be very expensive in DC, especially depending on date. If I were you, I'd go on one of the sites that let you compare rates (Kayak, etc.) so you can get a sense of what you are prepared to spend for accommodations. Also, familiarize yourself a little with the Metro subway system so you have a sense of what is reasonable travel. There are definitely plenty of hotels near Verizon/Capital One Center and most of the rest of downtown DC (the Mall, museums, etc.) but a Skins game will involve some extra travel.

After you've looked at some hotels, Metro maps, etc., come back with more particular questions. My friends and relatives have frequently stayed at the Washington Plaza, Morrison-Clarke, Henley Park, and Crowne Plaza hotels, which are within walking distance of Wizards games, but definitely look around, because you can probably find cheaper hotels.
