:10 The question comes to me over and over and over, as well it should. After all, I am the OVERTIME MAN…man! How can the Miami Heat destroy the Indiana Pacers one day and then get destroyed the next? Simple. It’s all about match up. Some teams just match up better than others. For example, in another arena, Muhammad Ali beat everybody and their mother and predicted the round on top of that. But Ken Norton gave Ali fits. Tyson scared everybody but Evander Holyfield. And you know the Pirates can’t do a thing with the Brewers… sometimes it’s just match ups.
:09 Sometimes you get the “Tiger” and sometimes the Tiger gets you. Don’t sweat the little tournaments. His focus is on the major majors.
:08 Alright, I am gonna tell it cause I know none of you won’t. And I don’t mind telling it either. Look, I am a big man, been a big man all my life. Come from big stock. Cornbread, Yams, Mac & Cheese, Ribs and such. So I know what it’s like to be big. Hell, I played D-tackle at 297 pounds (yea, and played it well too so shut-up!) Anyway, back to my point… as I said, I can relate so if the shoe fits don’t take it personal… just put it on! Big girls… yo big girls… yes, big mama’s, I am talking to you. We see you coming. We know you’re in the room. You – don’t – need – to – shout – it – out with blonde, blonde, blonde hair. Nor do you have to wear a rainbow of colors. And this need you have to wear the black tights five sizes too small just amazes me… actually us. It ain’t just me, but “the others” are scared to say anything. And last and certainly not least, if you can bend over and not see where the end of your dress is, that means it’s too short mmmmaaaannnn! Just remember, the two most important big girl rules. No. 1 – One size don’t fit all. No. 2 – Don’t get it twisted… everybody can’t be “Monique”! Holler!!! Please send your concerns and complaints to Smitty’s Bar and Grill, c/o Smitty.
:07 I can’t make this any clearer. From 1975 to 1990, Bobby Byrd was the most dominant one/two guard in Western Pa., and he proved it everywhere he played, from the Connie Hawkins League to the Due Brown 5th Avenue League, to Brookville and every other tournament in a five state radius. As a matter of fact, in 1979, when he went toe to toe with the great Norm Nixon in the heat of the Hawkins League, he was probably the best all around guard in Pittsburgh and that included Pitt, Duquesne and Robert Morris. Curtis Aiken, Chip Harris, Mark McCloud, Bum Coates, Ron McCrae, Petey Harris, Hosea Champaine… say what?!? Now somebody run tell that… oh don’t worry, here’s the number 412- 628-4856! I know you ganna call on this one.
:06 I told you the Pacers would give the Heat all they can handle, but as of this writing… King James will go “zone” on Indy and the show will be the Heat and the Spurs. And that you can take to the bank!
:05 You think I am not putting “Vacation Dude’s” Top Ten NBA Player List in cause I am scared it might be better than mine. Wrong! I am telling ya the truth, I can’t find the damn list. Just hold on. And while you’re holding… yes, the Old Timers Championship photo is on the way too. People, I am only one man!
:04 The Bucs take out the Reds in the 11th to avoid being swept by the division rivals while posting their 17th comeback victory this season. Yes boys and girls, there is a Santa Claus and the Pirates are for real.
:03 Word to the wise, and to the dumb. Homophobic comments, no matter when and where you make them will cost you. Just ask Pacer’s big man Roy Hibbert how he feels $75,000 lighter in the pocket.
:02 Speaking of the Pacers… and I was, if you were paying attention, Paul George is the real deal. Super star coming at ya!
:01 We’re turning the corner with “Harlem Nights” every last Friday. Over 100 Old School Party People packed 3 Lakes Country Club last Friday as the living legend Sly Jock worked his magic. Roland Ford, the Line Dance King, brought his crew and Bill Ford and the Ballroom Dancers represented big time. But you know the Par-Tay ain’t a Par-Tay without the United Rays Corvette Club. “It was on like popcorn” up in there and the boogie continues June 29 with a special Penn Hills Eagle track team salute, buffet spread, Sly Jock and a band. Get your coins out, this one’s gonna cost ya 20 big ones. Come on city folks, $20s ain’t gonna hurt you. Cut back on the Big Mac meals… I am just saying!
:00 DOUBLE OVERTIME:
Ring… Ring… RRRiiinnnggg… Hello, Smitty’s Bar and Grill. You stab-em, we’ll slab-em! Who? Naw man, ain’t no big girls here!
