    1. Apropos: get paid $10k to eat BBQ for a couple weeks

      "If you don't mind being paid to taste some of the most delicious BBQ ribs across the country, posting envy-inducing pictures of your food and falling asleep every night dreaming about your next rack of ribs, then you could have what it takes to be the next Reynolds Wrap® Chief Grilling Officer," the company states in a news release.

  3. Anybody going to the game tonight?

    It will be my first time on the Budweiser deck for a work event.

    2. Hey, guess what county I practice in!

      I'm surprised I hadn't heard about this case yet.

  5. Hyperbole alert: SBNATION's Kristian Winfield describes Zion Williamson as "the best player in college basketball history."

    Mmmmhmmm.

    1. Best freshman of all time? He's probably in the running.

      Can't really compare him to players that had 4 years in college.

      1. He's certainly in the mix for best freshman ever. Mostly because Lew Alcindor wasn't allowed to play varsity as a frosh.

        Kevin Durant won both the Wooden and the Naismith as a freshman, the first to do so.

        Anthony Davis won the Wooden and a national title as a freshman.

        Patrick Ewing was a terrifying force on a G'town team that missed a title by a bucket to a UNC team with Jordan, Worthy, and Sam Perkins.

        Carmelo won a national title and was FF MVP as a freshman.

        So did Pervis Ellison.

        Chris Jackson (Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf) averaged 30.2 ppg, 4.1 apg, and shot 49 pct from the floor as a freshman.

  6. Question for the traveled: What would you do if you had 5-10 free hours in Sam Diego? Going to a conference in August and have one free day with the wife.

    2. Something on the water, fishing charter or sailing or a harbor cruise. You could also tour the USS Midway or hit the Maritime Museum. The gaslamp district is good for dinner and drinking, lots of good restaurants, cool shops and galleries.

    3. If you like zoos, San Diego's is great. Wild Animal Park is fun, but a haul.

      Walk around Old Town and visit Coronado. The bridge is spectacular and the beach at Coronado us great.

      Also, Pizza Port for beer. 😀

    4. Younger me would tell you that’s plenty of time to get a tattoo.

      The view from Cabrillo National Monument at the end of Point Loma is really something. You can see the harbor, North Island, downtown, Mexico, and as far as your eyes will take you across the Pacific.

      1. You and Novak are the only winners since Friday. Hope you guys continue (but not be the only winners)
