This place is like a ghost town...

Few observations from my time here in Huntington WVA..

This place sucks!
Marshalls stadium is cute.
This place sucks!
Ritter park is pretty.
This place sucks!
The VA hospital here is nice and the staff are really nice.
This place sucks!

That's about it..

That's a fair assessment...now. I graduated from Marshall, live about 90 miles up the river now.
Huntington is over ran by drugs! It's a well depot logistically by Detroit and Atlanta and other metros, so it's the meeting point for drug runners.
I graduated there in 02, was a cool ass little town back then, not so much now!

Yep..that about covers it. There are some nice parts, but the bad parts are basically ghettos, and it seems to be mostly bad parts.

His procedure is at 10:30 this morning. He seems to be fine on the nerves front, but he is a pretty unflappable guy. This gastric sleeve deal would be nothing for a young person, but he is 74 and has had a triple bypass a few years ago and has been pretty weakly since then. This should help stop his type two diabetes is the hope. He should be fine, but you know how it is with these things, I have a friend that had one of these things, and has went through years of hell because something went wrong, and then they got an infection. Just throw up a prayer if you got a minute today, I would appreciate it...and thanks for asking.

A friend of mine bought all the sauces and we will be going through them Sunday night.

I’m terrified.

I’ve had the death sauce with liquid rage. It used to be the hottest but is somewhere around the 3rd or 4th hottest now. It’s really hot and all, but if you’re somewhat acclimated to eating ghost pepper sauces, one wing is definitely manageable. But it’s a lot hotter than it is good. I’ve had some sauces from the pepper palace in gatlinburg that are nearly as hot but much, much tastier. A lot of sauces made from extracts instead of actual peppers are that way.

I wanna try the last dab, but it’s sold out ATM.

I’m not changing anything.

When you’re talking about the best players in the game we are discussing greatness.

Steph didn’t need Durant. Golden State didn’t need Durant.

Durant came to them and it’s made it even easier for one of the games best players to put up numbers. Greatness doesn’t look for the easy road.

For some reason KD always gets a pass. Nobody wants to be critical of him.

KD probably gets called a p***y more than any player that’s ever changed teams as a free agent in any sport. What are you talking about gets a pass?

By your standard, any player who has ever signed with the Yankees, or patriots, as a free agent.... any high school kid who has gone to Alabama in the last 9-10 years..... they’re all “vag” because they signed with an already established great team.

So only players who go to bad teams are real men? Nonsense.

The Kingkiller Chronicle is an objectively better book series than A Song of Ice and Fire. George RR Martin can write a good cliffhanger, but Patrick Rothfuss is a vastly superior writer who is far better at subtly working difficult writing techniques into his storytelling while also making you want to keep turning the pages just as much as GRRM does in ASOIAF

No. He got a pass from fans before he left OKC. Idk if it's because he is a "nice guy" and has a quiet personality or what but nobody ever wanted to be critical of him. Hardin and Westbrook were fair game but for whatever reason Durant was rarely in the crosshairs.

As far as teams going to other teams..... Nobody has ever done what Durant did. OKC had GS down 1-3 in the conference finals and choked it away. Durant jumped ship to join the team he should have beaten. The 73-9 team he lost to after being up on them 1-3.

It's not so much that he went to a good team. It's the circumstances surrounding that move. Total vag move.

That 73-9 team didn’t even win the nba title. Who cares what they did during the regular season. Kinda like the undefeated patriots that didn’t go undefeated. Doesn’t matter if you didn’t win the title.

I just think it’s lame for an anonymous message board poster to call an NBA all star a vag for signing with a good team in free agency.

He took less money because he wanted to win rings. If he had gone to a crappy team for more money you would call him a greedy loser. You really don’t know all the reasons KD left OKC. Maybe he knew he would never win championships with RW running the offense?

What about Johnny Damon going to the Yankees?

If you don't see the move as weak sauce then we just ain't gonna agree on it.
