What it do Rod, Karen and J Mayweather,
I hope all is well.
Tell me why the first thing I heard after seeing there’s gonna be Mayweather vs Pacquiao rematch was Terrance Howard asking, “do you need some money?” Then again, between crypto, gambling and the scammer’s renaissance that is AI it is probably hard to hold onto to your money when you cannot reliably spell the word “money”. Is Manny broke?
Shouts out to the US Women’s National Hockey team, most notably Cleveland’s own Laila Edwards! I ain’t see the game but I ain’t need to root for the first Black woman to win Olympic hockey gold during Black History Month, damnnit. And Edwards said she is the most talented athlete to ever come from Cleveland Heights High School and the 2nd best (Jason Kelce) cosigned! I will give the US men’s hockey team credit for finding a way to win with that bugged eyed coke head hanging off their nuts and drinking their beer in the locker room smdh.
After Lindsey Vonn’s blew up her leg, I saw at least a dozen folks post that tenderism clip of the meat falling off the bone. And that was probably more fitting than folks realized since Vonn got *compartment syndrome* and almost had her leg amputated!
Below is a link to an x-ray of Vonn’s leg after the surgery:

I hope she has a safe recovery, but good goddamn.
I hope y’all enjoy the rest of y’all week and rest in peace to @Maine_Char.
Peace,
Dough
My Goal is not to disrespect the pod as I appreciate it in several ways…
You all are, and have been, HOT!
Karen, Justin, and Rod have persisted through so much, and if no one with whom you all connect can offer you an appreciation that connects, I ask, humbly, that you hear me appreciate each of you!
With that being said, I offer a very specific piece that may make you love or hate Chris Balls all the more:
“Chris Paul doesn’t have a livable command of the English Language.”
I’m listening to the podcast 7pm in Brooklyn, (which I must mention is an amazing insight on the mind of Carmelo and those he brings to his platform) and it is clear…
Chris Balls doesn’t seriously connect to what words (and their communicative collections) mean.
This is not uncommon amongst people who are supremely talented enough to make it in this world but it is also a reality that cannot be ignored (and to the point that it contributes to your Hateration, it would do best, I think, to be shared.)
He revealed that he thought he could be HIMSELF as an Elder with the Clippers in his closing years!!!!
Rod, I think that I think similarly as you think regarding this man and his unsuitability for the most preeminent stage for Basketball.
While I paraphrase. I offer this position I believe we share,
“A person’s approach to basketball tells you everything you need to know about them..,”
This nigga really believed HE (as he ignorantly and consciously appreciates himself to exist) could be a significant benefit to the Clippers AND had the nerve to express his connection to what happened to him this year as a surprise!
I acknowledge that he could have walked this path with hopes to position himself to gain deeper appreciation for whatever audience he would see this working for but, ROD!
He has fully cemented himself as what you have historically expressed him as through his actions, “Chris… Balls” And no person who sees above his chicanery should ever rest without offering their connection to who he is!
He really thought he was going to benefit the Clippers as an older man when the best real skill he possessed (as a undersized guard in the league who could have been out the league except for the strange connection NBA owners have had to the complex of the talented tenth) was the ability to mimic the exploitative and oppressive tactics of Whiteness on the court as a Black man?
I may diverge from the source of your hate but staunchly stand within my own hate on this:
Chris ain’t a real one on the court…
I’d hate to play with him as a supremely patient and mediocre basketball player…
(Sidebar, it’s really why I think I like LeBron over MJ cause I think LeBron would win or lose with me and MJ defeats some holistic premise of the game by striving to be great himself OVER his teammates, but I digress…)
Not because I can’t play with anyone, but because at a certain point, there are certain people who should not be played with under any circumstances.
