Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I knew you would be so much more eloquent than me!!!

Yeah.."eloquent"..that's one word for it..lol..

 

[Weezer]

What is up with your weird fascination with LA?

Closet communist.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

You ever see the Banana Show in Okinawa Japan?

...thanks for the disgusting image you just caused to pop on my brain..blech..

 

[Orange_Crush]

That looks interesting. What is it about?

Anyway, it's kind of a Citizen Cane true story about a simple beet farmer that became a real estate baron.

The difference is Jordan was a absolute monster defensive player....DPOY and Scoring leader...that is insane.

I will say too, that Kobe didn't play in the most brutally physical era of the NBA..and MJ did, and thrived in it...but it took a huge toll on him physically imo. They at least still played good defense in Kobes era, but it was not as brutal as the late 80s and 90s.

Both of them could play into their 50s in this wussified no-contact era...lol.

Dude. I'm talking best finale games.

Not careers lol.

Kobe isn't even in MJ's tier career-wise, probably 2 tiers belows imo. One of the greats. But a volume, not elite efficient player.



Though I also don't agree any of them could play into their 50s. MJ took years off, came back rested and looked worse than he ever had. Modern nutrition and training has changed. We saw it with Brady. And now Lebron. But neither lasted/will last past mid 40s. Guaranteed.

Kobe isn't even in MJ's tier career-wise. 2 tiers below imo. One of the greats for sure. But more of a volume than elite efficiency + volume guy.



Though I also don't agree any of them could play into their 50s. MJ took years off, came back rested and looked worse than he ever had. Both were on the more skeletal side as well. Modern nutrition and training has changed. We saw it with Brady. And now Lebron. But neither lasted/will last past mid 40s. Guaranteed. 50s in insane...unless you just want to be a benchwarmer at best. These guys have more pride than that.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Give me a little time with Sally and we'll have definitive proof.

Uhmm...how about..NO..

I was exaggerating..

 

[Devo182]

Kobe was no more hard working than MJ.

This will forever come back to comparing stories...legends.

But of all categories, I would give Kobe the nod in this 1 department. Kobe's work ethic and obsession is legendary, above and beyond. It's what he's literally known for. The Mamba Mentality.

Imo hardest working high-level athlete all-time.

 

[Weezer]

Uhmm...how about..NO..

I can replace the bull with a donkey.....

Or we could have both?

 

[TN-POSSUM]

People are dumb

Harumph!!

 

[Girth Brooks]

Closet communist.

Found him…

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Me and McGill

Lubya bro...but I HATE HATE HATE Kirby and Saban..they are both good solid coaches...but both of them are .500-.600 win percentage coaches with equal talent and rules enforcement (on and off the field) in my opinion and nothing is ever going to change that.

I refuse to bow down and kiss their sorry asses...and it REALLY pisses me off for other Vols to do it too.

Pretty good videos on his channel (Peyton)

Never heard of it. But I have heard stories about wild times in Thailand.

Disagree...if anything...I will acknowledge they are equals on this point.

Micheal said the one player being close to his work ethics and mentality on the court was Kobe Bryant..

Here it is with the words cropped out. . . unless you just like the way the words look.

Make it exotic. Add her name in Spanish:

Dulce Como La Gaseosa

 

[Glitch]

I was exaggerating..

 

[butchna]

Khalil just brought Reggie into work. They give me the slightest opening and I’m asking him about the OTHER Reggie in that early 80’s Vols royalty as well as his twin, Carl Zander, Alvin Toles and Dale Jones.

 

[GVol1966]

Over-rated as a coach, IMO

But it’s not your opinion that Danny White is going with

She was beautiful. From toes to adam's apple. Sadly she refused my marriage proposal.
