Re: Twitter:The New Batch

I don’t know where else to put this, so I guess I’ll put it here, since he’s mostly known nowadays for his Twitter feed. I haven’t read The new book by former NBA and Kentucky star, Rex Chapman, but apparently he has a lot to say. https://twitter.com/rexchapman/status/1764034359605264429?s=46&t=...

Yeah, I might be splitting hairs but I’d call Miller’s Crossing more akin to an old-time film noir than an old-time gangster movie. Either way - I enjoyed it.

I only know what I’ve read in the Athletic but it seems like Howard’s “zero tolerance” clause should have been invoked? Instead, they are letting a last-place coach run off a very highly-regarded staff member?

I agree that they are in over their heads right now. But they do have a few studs - Quinn Hughes (brother of Jack and Luke) is great. Elias Peterson and Brock Boeser have offense, and Demko is a good puck stopper. But I don’t think they’ll advance past the first round.

My father is the least patient person I’ve ever met (and it’s not even close). He flat out refuses my suggestion to ever go to Blake’s for a green chile cheeseburger, because he especially hates the wait, there. I try to explain it’s because the food is made to order, but it’s like talking to a wall.
