To those who forgot: You know, those of you that were never heard of before you played in the league, not before or after, those of you that had the privilege to be on the same court with the great Connie Hawkins, Kenny Durrett, Norm Nixon, Bill Graham, Ron Carter, Larry Richardson, Sam Clancy, Jason Williams, Larry Harris, Bobby Franklin and other legends just to name a few, not to mention the TV, t-shirts, beer, food and all the extras…and the fact that you asked me to do this…to all that chose not to come when you said you would…“You should be ashamed!!!”
:08—Here’s your movie trifecta. #1 Star Trek—outstanding. Well done. Great casting…three basketballs . #2 Jason —good, not great. Sets up the next one. I needed more umph! Three basketballs. #3 Suicide Squad—starring Will Smith—okay, but it’s DC Comics, not Marvel. Only two basketballs—but worth seeing. Now shut up.
:07—To the lovely lady who was so nice to me at the Wilkinsburg Dollar General, and you know who you are, you are now in the Locker Room. Keep reading. (Yes people, I go to the Dollar General…who do you think I think I am!)
:06—The Olympic virus scare apparently was over-rated. Rio survived the fear. There are some people sitting at home wishing they had made the trip.
:05—Justin Gatlin, you fought to get back after the unjust suspensions, but unfortunately you can’t beat “The Bolt,” Usain Bolt that is, but don’t feel bad, nobody can!
:04—I keep telling you that Steelers pre-season doesn’t count so don’t worry about that butt whopping. I also keep telling you that The Emperor, Chuck Noll, would tell ya… “If they didn’t matter, they wouldn’t play ‘em!!!” I go with the Emperor.
:03—Word to the wise…USA Olympic Men’s Basketball team, you better wake up before your gold turns to silver.
:02—Serena, you’re still the best in the world. You’re just tired.
:01—Mark these dates, and do it now or else! Sunday, Sept. 25, the great Eat-N-Park Car Cruise to benefit Caring for Kids. Trophies, prizes, surprises and good food. More info. to come. The 3rd Annual City League Hall of Fame Inductions Saturday, Nov. 5. Get ready.
:00—GAME OVER
