OH, so you turn your tv on Sundays and these athletes violently collide repeatedly and tear up their bodies and wreck their brains for your entertainment and now you call them stupid? What does that make you? Not to mention Friday nite lights, Saturday ncaa big games. The whole sport is a farce.

And thsee are people I respected. I didn't always agreed with them but I respected them just the same: Doctors, lawyers, professionals. Nice lawns, well laid out lives or so I blindly thought. You are just as gullible as anyone, if not more so.. Dumb. Like lemmings jumping off a cliff.

Not the biggest load. Can't be no bigger than dumb butts like you who believe all that big lie ca ca trump poops out on a daily basis.

Okay, take a young black athlete to be. His main goal is to be in the league. He has less than 1 percent chance. Better odds studying, hiring tutors, whatever it takes and becoming a professional. He beats the odds. Becomes an elite pro. Now his life is in a fishbowl. He probably doesn't even know it. Cops watch him if he drinks and drives. Or if he carries a weapon. Women slip up on him tryna have a baby so they can get 80k a month in child support. They seduce him on the massage table. Then they hire some rich ding bat lawyer to drag his name alll over Facebook.. Cameras follow him with a close up to see if he bats an eye during the anthem. Then they catch him on something and take his money. He has a 40 million dollar lifestyle and budget but they take his money cause he didn't get a vaccine. Maybe he makes it through unschatedd. He retires. The fans forget his name. Now he is at home, maybe he still has his million dollar mansion. But he can't enjoy it, because he can't sleep at night. He has headaches all the time. He can barely walk. Bottom line he was played. He at his best was just a 40 million dollar slave.

The dish was here already.

It could be they just like sports. If you read what I post you'll notice I said that's just me. Or to each his own. As for the rest, I don't have time to entertain you and your mindset. I"d be here forever going around and around with that nonsense.

Black people do all kinds of crazy stuff in the name of go along and get along. To each his or her own.

Lift Every Voice and Sing was a poem by James Weldon Johnson. It was later set to music. Some call it the Negro or African American National Anthem. I love that song. We sing it at church quite often. Been doing that for years. If a reasonable and balanced person took the time to read and listen to the lyrics they would see that it is an upbeat and positive song. As for it being played before a game or games in the NFL, meh. I doubt if it will be broadcast. I don't attend NFL games anyway. that is a white supremist thing. I can think of better things to spend money on than supporting millionaire players and trump supporting billionaire owners. That's just me.

I was thinking talent level not strategy.

YUP and every time he does that earl the pearl curve around 360 dribble move he is carrying the ball. He should play D2 or D3 cause at D1 on up to the NBA they are gonna sit and wait on that right hand.

With the size in the middle they (Silsbee) could maybe go all the way & win another chip. Maybe. Ion wanna put any pressure on anybody. A lot depends on Argyle and what comes out of DFW. Huffman & HJ could have a say as well.

Ion know. The big three were very good no doubt. But they had a lot of good players & athletes backing them up. Depending on the year they had players like Newton, Rick Maze Jr, classmate Elton Grubb's grandson Tre Grubbs, Dontre Thomas. Trajan Harris. All he did was hit those clutch free throws against Argyle. Christopher Martin Jr. There are a few more I am missing. L Tyler. can't forget him. He is still balling at a college in Oklahoma...Michael McCain, and Kalong Barnes, who could be in the NFL Next season.

The city of Kountze packed up and moved to Beaumont.

Silsbee should be more experienced, and stronger. Get to see where the Lumberton b-ball program after their star player has moved on. BU should be off the charts good. They could be a national team like that Yates team in 2010.

A big regional paper or digital media giant like the Enterprise has to be all things to all people. They have to be accurate, unique, popular and able to call it like they see it. I think they did a pretty good job. Juggling all that is not easy to do.

That could be. I confess to not knowing the details. My bad.

I'm as big a fan of Silsbee basketball as anyone. That last victory over Yates had a lot to do with covid. It is hard for a team to slow down or not practice for the better part of two weeks then participate in a playoff game. I'm not dumping on the Tigers, I'm just keeping it all in perspective.

There is a formula, or formulas out there are only a few know how to use them. Canyon has it is girls basketball. Carthage has it is 4A football. Odessa Permian had it. Argyle has it in spades. Don't leave out Katy football. People will scheme and collude for something valuable. Art thefts, bank robberies don't just happen. Athletic scholarships are valuable. A full ride scoly to UT Austin, or Texas A&M? Those are worth a half a million dollars. So there's some scheming going on. Canyon has been winning basketball chips for 30 years. That did not just spontaneously happen. Whatever has happened or is happening in Yates is mild in comparison.

Stuff like that doesn't just happen. A committee of some sort is coordinating all that.

Devon transferred from Austin Peay to a Jr College in the panhandle toward the end of 2020. Probably the earliest he can play for Lamar St is in the fall of 2021.

We used to live out that way. Daughter went to Spring Westfield. That school is just West of I 45. Aldine Nimitz was further North on the East side. Near Lone star college. The big name at Nimtz then was Dante Hall, the punt returner.

I doubt if the coaches were in on said incident. These young people network via twitter & etc. from here to New York, to California. It may have been just a rumor. I heard of it from here. And if they were involved they were just doing their due diligence. Cause just about everybody is recruiting in some way, shape or form. Championships are being won with shaky methods. Coaches are pulling in fat six figure contracts, while math & science teachers make much less. I read a tweet where a single mother in Silsbee was proud of her daughter playing in the state tournament. Pic of the daughter shows her wearing an HJ uniform. Maybe they moved to Sour Lake. Ion know. I have my doubts. It could all be legit. But hey, schools like Canyon been pulling this scheme off for decades. I heard about them 20 years ago. My niece is about to go to grad school & she heard about it in high school. The UIL is bound to know since everyone else does. Perhaps they're too busy getting pats on the back & receiving hundred dollar hand shakes to care.

I think it was AAu buddies, twitter, instant communication as we have it now. Besides that, who gives a rat poison? I don't.

It was rumored that Kason wanted to transfer to Silsbee & play with Adams & McCain a few seasons ago in High School. So there is a connection.

I went to a few Lamar U games. I went to see them play SW Louisiana. SW got busted for cheating so bad they changed the name of the school. They had a big build up for the shooting guard they had named Dwight Bo Lamar. Dude got off the bus shooting. The pistol Pete Maravich aura was still very prevalent in La. In that game Bo shot so much from long range, and missing, his team mates stopped passing him the ball. They didn't have the three point line then, so there was no reason to take those shots. That kind of shooting led to the 3 line so it served a purpose. I went to another game against Centenary. The draw was Centenary's 7'1" center named Robert Parish. He went on to have a pretty good NBA career, to say the least.
