When asked how good am I at chess, I typically simply say I’m OK. What do you think I played for Black ? The post game analysis gives a hint to what I saw. One of the 7 “Tactical Motifs” that I highlight when teaching Chess.

She probably makes more than us all. Maybe I should start bitching and complaining more. But it doesn’t seem to be helping him bitching and complaining about her bitching and complaining. Doesn’t seem to help me bitching and complaining about his bitching and complaining. 🤷🏾‍♂️ 🤦🏾‍♂️

Let me fix this for you!! “Caitlin Clark has become the most unlikable player in all of Basketball for a minority (pun intended) portion of Blacks who resent a White girl who brought billions of dollars to a money losing, irrelevant business model.” That is certainly true now. She is beloved by most true sports fans who are glad to see the transformation she has brought to women’s sports. I concede she complains more than I would like to see but no more than the typical player. She also turns over the ball more than I would like but at a clip approaching efficiency (2:1 assist to turnover) in my Modern Player Efficiency Model. I was at the Fever game the other night. From all objective standards she is more popular than ever. You pick the standard other than “your opinion”. Jersey sales, endorsement dollars. All-Star voting. Shoe sales. Apparently villainy is popular. All these kids wearing Clark jerseys.

There are several who could add 6 inches to her vert. She would have brought the house down with a slam dunk on this play!! 🤷🏾‍♂️

Caitlin Clark & Aliyah Boston are the first duo in WNBA history to each record a 30-point double-double in the same game.

I booed her every time she touched the ball. There is tenacious defense and then there is thuggery. What some in the league tried to do to Caitlin Clark was thuggery. Endorsed by the League based upon the no calls. Hines-Allen had a fantastic albeit vicious clean block. Sheldon was dirty all that infamous game. instagram.com/reel/DLEMXZxRY…

I’m a basketball coach but also a Mathematician. In math, definition is everything. I learned long ago not to argue against undefined concepts. This post has 4. 1) What is a “bad shot”? A friend who coaches state, “that’s a bad shot!” When I asked why he stated “it just is!” To which I simply stated: “great coaches know how to define such things. How else can they teach a player to discern?” 2) Same as to what does it mean to “hunt her shot”? I might agree or disagree depending on how one defines “hunting”. Is it a good or bad thing? I can discuss the various ways the concept is used. Most who use it can’t define it. 3) “it ain’t falling” is clearly not what the person is communicating. I learned as a consultant how to draw out from a client what they mean/ or want. People are generally poor communicators. She likely means Clark is not shooting efficiently based upon HER EXPECTATIONS. Expectations is a seminar in itself. 4) “38% is bad” is technically a definition but “bad” itself is undefined. She apparently defines what “ain’t falling” means to her. 👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾 But when is 38% good? Is it absolutely bad or just situationally? I personally think 38% shooting for most guards is good. For a post player it typically is not very good. About a third of WNBA players shoot under 40%. Is “bad” and “below average” synonymous? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I reject this “forget the play” narrative of my fellow Clark fans. All involved CLEARLY state the play was specifically drawn up by the ASSISTANT Coach Austin Kelly who has assisted for White for some time. But I am one of the fans who went out that week and bought a Cunningham jersey. I will be wearing it tonight as my wife and I take our 2 oldest Grandchildren to the game tonight!! When she took down Sheldon who was trying to punk Clark I “fell in love” with her as a player. Cunningham had a vicious screen and other bad ass plays (fouls) that same night. I have been a fan since. Not gonna lie! I then went to her Instagram and other social media accounts and became self-conscious: she tries to be a sex symbol. It’s just about basketball for me. She can wear and not wear what she wants. But I learned to embrace even her hotness. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I’ll try to get an autograph and selfie tonight!!

5 but if it’s an election, one more than 50%!! 😳🫣🤨😇. Vote Blue no matter who!!🤛🏾 I’m just joking 🙃

Yes I think the dude is behaving differently than I would. But so too are they behaving differently than I would. I understand he has the right to film in PUBLIC.

In 1986, not only a blood test but actually a Syphilis test also in Massachusetts. It’s when I first learned of my wife’s fear of needles. We celebrate 40 years in August!

Stop it! I get their emails and promotions REGULARLY. They do an excellent job marketing ALL their players and their brand. Actually, don’t stop. I almost forgot even manufactured publicity is good for the WNBA. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾

Clark fans don’t care if she has “too many” turnovers when evaluating her greatness. We see her complete this pass and say: “Wow! Amazing.”

I have been a WNBA fan since my now 19 years old was 10. From my perspective THIS is already “more of this”.

I love watching her play. I also like seeing her haters rant and rave against her. 😂🤣 They let her live in their hearts and minds. Check out Indiana Fever's video! #TikTok tiktok.com/t/ZP8sy4UTg/

My answer was nothing. But your answer might prove my point. Joe Biden taking showers with minors might be construed as pedophile tendencies. I’m sure most Republicans would also over look such behavior. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I’m a registered Republican surrounded by many who are registered Democrats. I think both camps have wonderfully amazing women. So I don’t know. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I wear many hats 🧢 🎩 and have many mire hobbies/interests. But 3 years ago I suggested insurance design changes to tap into a predictable “new frontier” of public policy: taxation of wealth. I contend solutions popular in Oregon can be the model. Unfortunately, I’m too good at chess because to someone good at checkers could not see the value. 😳😉 But this is an excellent read and worth pondering the implications of taxing wealth. 🤷🏾‍♂️ 🤨 Taxing Tuesday: Steven Spielberg, New Yorker, by @meepbobeep open.substack.com/pub/marypa…

I just want to trust our election process. Unless we canvass the persons submitting mail-in ballots, we cannot verify elections. When Republicans or Democrats have cheated they use what I call substitutionary voting. A canvass of the voter has been the only process that uncovers the fraud. Telling me “it’s rare” is not convincing because it is also rarely investigated. Voter ID won’t catch substitutionary fraud. 🤷🏾‍♂️
