    Toucher and Hardy: The new 98.5 morning show

    Rich frequently joked about how backwards his hometown could be (pulled out of class to lay sod on the football field, nazi/confederate store, shooting range on campus, it’s the law in Kennesaw, etc). T and R spent a lot of time mocking “redneck” culture so it seems like a stretch to say it was...

    12/15 Maim the “Magic” Mice

    Missed the first 3 quarters so will have to watch the full recording tomorrow but “over the back” isn’t a foul in the rule book. Typically a shorter player will have position and a taller player will jump and reach over to tip or grab the ball. There’s no foul unless illegal contact occurs. One...

    12/1 - vs Philly - Joel Embiid has a fraudulent MVP trophy

    NBA rule book: Vibrate the rim, net or backboard so as to cause the ball to make an unnatural bounce, or bend or move the rim to an off-center position when the ball is touching the ring or passing through. Perhaps it was called more back in the day but I’m guessing the technology has improved...

    12/1 - vs Philly - Joel Embiid has a fraudulent MVP trophy

    Slapping the backboard when attempting to block a shot is legal

    RIP Toucher and Rich Show ... It was fun while it lasted

    I don’t think it’s fair to characterize these interviews as some weird deviation. Maybe they don’t talk about romantic lives but they definitely try to make connections with their guests. They talk about Burt’s personal life all the time. Him and Fred were sharing old fraternity stories about...

    RIP Toucher and Rich Show ... It was fun while it lasted

    On X, Adolfo said he hasn’t spoken to Rich in 6 years but he still keeps in touch with Fred. He didn’t elaborate much beyond that. https://x.com/AdolfoGonzalez/status/1723091690695602501?s=20 I hope they can find more guests to come in studio. Wonder what it would take to get Gorman to come in...

    RIP Toucher and Rich Show ... It was fun while it lasted

    My point was that the people in this thread that love to attack character only go after one guy. The show launched to popularity on BCN partly based on exploiting the situation of a homeless guy. Yet, I don’t see any questions about whether Rich is a hypocrite given his faith. Personally, I...

    RIP Toucher and Rich Show ... It was fun while it lasted

    So now we’re speculating about Fred’s money management based on a hunch? He frequently vacations at his parents, doesn’t have a vacation home in Nantucket, sent his kids to public school (at least while he was married), and doesn’t seem to take luxurious trips across the country/world. Based on...

    The Michael McCorkle "Mac" Jones Thread

    the word is “spaz.” Was in the news awhile ago for some song lyrics. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/amp/rcna33747

    YouTube announces Sunday Ticket Pricing

    If you choose a single game from the menu, there’s the prompt that says watch live, start from beginning, catch up through key plays and watch in multi view. I don’t think it will let you pick the exact games but you can choose more options than the default ones on the homepage.

    How much does defense matter for being the best player

    He went for 30,13, and 5 in their championship run while providing exceptional defense. When I said versatile, I meant playing both sides of the floor.

    Not Being a Joker, We Need A The Finals Thread

    Can we have todays players switch to stiff rims and no 3 point line? Comparing shooting percentages across eras isn’t as straightforward as it seems. If you don’t believe me go shoot at a modern rim versus an old school one.

    Not Being a Joker, We Need A The Finals Thread

    Has there been some rapid increase in human evolution over the past 60 years that I’m unaware of? Yes Bam has advantages in better training, health, nutrition, technology etc But to argue that Wilt is athletic “for his time” doesn’t hold up. Wilt was fast, could lead out of the gym, and had a...

    How much does defense matter for being the best player

    I think Giannis is more versatile and he will elevate the surrounding pieces no matter where their deficiencies are. I think Jokic needs the right guys to support him on defense. Denver has found that cast and they have the chance to be special over the next few years.

    Not Being a Joker, We Need A The Finals Thread

    Yeah and Wilt was 7’1” as opposed to 6’9” for Bam. He’s bigger, stronger, faster than Jokic. To the original point, Wilt and Russell would be able to do much better on the perimeter than Jokic. The old footage doesn’t do these guys justice. Remember that the breakaway rim didn’t exist until the...
