Great heel, even greater poster.

Back in the day, I'd slap the cobra clutch on my younger brother for sport. Good times.

Unfortunately, the actual Iron Sheik has probably never touched Twitter. It's always been handled by two grifter bros making money off him.

I'll only be disillusioned if the Hogan hate is manufactured.

Yea, the two grifter dudes were the executive producers of this.

Messi to Inter Miami - not totally surprising as it's been hinted about for years, and it was evident that Barca wasn't going to be able to sign him and his fam wouldn't want to move to KSA. But it is still a major coup for MLS. A buddy of mine bought a ticket for an Inter Miami game that was going for $84 on Monday and is going for $1200 this afternoon.

It's also another reason to avoid Le Batard for the time being. That show - especially and particularly Mike Ryan - is insufferable when things are going right for South Florida teams. The Heat and Panthers in the Finals and now Messi to Inter Miami? Ugh.

Welcomed my 2nd child to the world yesterday, our first boy. It’s crazy how much calmer and less anxious I was through it all. And even after. With our first I lost 15lbs from my anxiety causing a lack of appetite. Life’s crazy!

I remember we left the hospital after the first, quadruple checked the car seat, driving 25 mph, assumed everyone on the drive was trying to T bone my car. Wife and I probably didn't sleep for a week and held her 95% of the day.

Second one, ok, let's get out of the hospital as soon as possible, get her home and put in her the crib to sleep.

Same here with the added wrinkle that my 1st was 5-6 weeks premature. We had to wait a month just to bring him home, and even then he was so tiny in his car seat.

Yea baby #2 was 3 weeks early, so not too bad, but only 5lbs 9oz. We go home tomorrow and I can’t wait, whereas with #1 I was like “can we stay another week?”

Best part is with this one we don’t have peak Covid going on and can have family over.

The Snuka episode of Dark Side of the Ring is good. They're all pretty good.

They are good, but definitely some downer content usually. Side note: WWE has been really good lately. I really only tune into RAW casually and some of the "PPV" events, but its been good stuff the last few months.

Well it is the "dark side" so yes the content is a downer 8-)

Anybody else having a **** great day?

My Dad turned 85 (great!) & the smoke from Canada is clearing out (good) so I guess my day is very good.

Wish I had the day off to watch this Alcaraz/Djokovic match.

Subscribed to Chefsteps this week. I made a little brick of homemade sharp cheddar singles last night (pretty simple, pretty cool process). This morning I made shokupan dough that's gonna take most of the day to proof. Ordered pullman loaf pans specifically for this recipe.

A grilled cheese.

Have it on mute in the background. Looks electric so far.
