WESTSIDE

Pikeville graduated some key players last year plus as others have mentioned has lost a really good quarterback. Still, I'm going with the Pikeville Panthers in this one.

I'm not big on game shows but Price Is Right is the best IMO. Then there is a large gap between the rest: Jeopardy, Press Your Luck, and Sale Of The Century

I heard on the radio the other day that non-smartphone users like me average about 19 minutes a day.

I still have my flip phone. I'd say I'm on mine about 20-30 no ties a day.

There is no method to my madness. It's totally random.

I couldn't care less about the eclipse.

I'd love to see Morehead State start giving scholarships again. They pulled off a few big upsets against EKU back in the day.

Any of the Kardshians and Molly Cyrus.

Greenup County did their camp on their campus.

It's cool with me that people are debating the necessity of fast food reviews, but to be clear I honestly only posted this to draw attention to this strange kid and his unique quirky schtick, and wondered if anyone else had ever seen him before. He's slow and steadily becoming famous for simply sampling fast food on a regular basis, and giving his take on it.

 

Regarding fast food reviews, I'm cool with it as time and again we'll see something new, and maybe unusual advertised on TV like Arby's Pork Belly Sandwiches etc... and before trying them myself, I like to watch a few of these reviews to get an idea if it's as good as the commercials try to make it sound.

 

Fast food places are constantly scrambling to come up with something new to stay relevant, so that's why these reviewer guys never run out of stuff to post a video about. There's a ton now of these folks out there doing it, but only a handful of them that seem to be getting most of the attention as they perfect their approach, and gain more followers.

He got a lot of followers when he was featured on a national news network like CNN or something which I'm sure you already knew. So in a lot of ways he had luck on his side.

Do we really need people to review fast food restaurants? Walk into a Taco Bell anywhere in the US and your chalupa supreme will taste the same whether you are in Maine or Oregon.

That is the key to the food reviews. The food should be the same everywhere. People watch the reviews to see if they would want to purchases these items. Come on Lawildcat. You should know this.

My uncle just got out of prison after serving 24 years for two capital murder charges. He wouldn't kill a person for no reason. You would have have to look at him funny or something similar before he would kill you. To answer the question, yes the fact they are in prison would be in the back of my mind at all times.

I've got a fast food review: don't eat that stuff. It'll kill ya.

I've not eaten any fast food or restaurant food in over three years, but I enjoy watching them. I see nothing wrong with people who do eat out. Everybody is different and must live their own lives.

I hate to say it, but I can't stand him. He talks way to much. I like Casualgamerreed. His reviews are short, to the point, he often makes reference to his ex wife (which is funny although Im not sure she actually exists), plus he is from Kentucky. He always wears a UK hat for the UK fans. I also watch Daym Drops and KBDProduction, Ken Domik, out of Canada.

I'm not really for athletes being paid large sums of money, but I am for training tables, them being given money for food, maybe a little survival money, allowing them to get jobs, etc. To me this hypocritical of the NCAA.

I saw on twitter Pikeville had a midnight practice.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- UCF kicker Donald De La Haye has made the decision to give up football rather than give up making advertising money from videos on YouTube that he produced.

I've never carried one. My Dad does to this day.

Panama Jack, No Fear, West Coast Chopper, and Orange County Chopper tshirts to name a few.

The low fat diet and all prepackaged foods that came with it. Thank goodness that ended. I can have my regular chips and processed meats in peace now. Low fat hotdogs and bologna were the worst.

I'm a casual UFC fan and a very, very casual boxing fan so I don't know enough to jump on any of the bets, but I do know for the first time in my life I hope a European beats an American.

Is it ironic that Steve Bartman will have a Cubs World Series ring but Moises Alou will not?

WGN is reporting that Steve Bartman — the fan made infamous when he interfered with a foul ball during Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS — is receiving an official Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series Championship ring as a special gift from the Ricketts family and the Cubs organization.

Both Tom Ricketts, the Cubs owner, and Bartman, have given WGN a statement. Here’s Ricketts:

“On behalf of the entire Chicago Cubs organization, we are honored to present a 2016 World Series Championship Ring to Mr. Steve Bartman. We hope this provides closure on an unfortunate chapter of the story that has perpetuated throughout our quest to win a long-awaited World Series. While no gesture can fully lift the public burden he has endured for more than a decade, we felt it was important Steve knows he has been and continues to be fully embraced by this organization. After all he has sacrificed, we are proud to recognize Steve Bartman with this gift today.”

Bartman’s statement was long — it’s printed in its totality at WGN — but it begins thusly:

“Although I do not consider myself worthy of such an honor, I am deeply moved and sincerely grateful to receive an official Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series Championship ring. I am fully aware of the historical significance and appreciate the symbolism the ring represents on multiple levels. My family and I will cherish it for generations . . . I am relieved and hopeful that the saga of the 2003 foul ball incident surrounding my family and me is finally over.”

We all know the story of Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, which began with the Cubs leading the series 3-2 and needing only one win in two games at home to go to the World Series. Bartman, like many other fans in his section that night and like countless other fans at countless other baseball games before and since, went for a foul ball coming his way. The fielder — Moises Alou — probably had a chance to catch it (I say “probably” because Alou himself has changed his stance at that on numerous occasions over the past 14 years). Either way, the ball was not caught, the Florida Marlins mounted a huge eighth inning rally, went on to win Game 7 and, eventually, the World Series.

The game was played on a Tuesday night. It became known forever as “the Steve Bartman Game” before the sun rose on Wednesday morning. It could’ve been called “The Mike Everitt Game” after the umpire who didn’t call fan interference on the play. It could’ve been called “The Alex Gonzalez Game” after the would-be inning-ending double play the Cubs shortstop booted, prolonging the Marlins’ rally. Or “The Mark Prior Game” for Prior’s subsequent walk of Luis Castillo or “The Dusty Baker Game” for Baker leaving Prior in too long. When a team blows a huge lead in fantastic fashion they NEVER blame it on one single player or one single play, but the entire 2003 NLCS and the Cubs’ subsequent struggles after that have always, to greater or lesser degrees, been hung on Bartman.

That — and Bartman’s forced exile, which was occasioned by threats and his very public pillorying — has always been a shame. He messed up, but he never deserved the scorn he got. Nor the constant lazy references to that night back in 2003 whenever someone wanted to get a quick yuk or to sum up the Cubs various misfortunes. Past owners, GMs and managers never got the kind of guff Bartman got despite their far greater responsibility for the Cubs’ pre-2016 futility.

Now, at last, that all seems to be ending. It’s a shame that it took the Cubs winning a World Series for them and others to come around on Bartman, but I suppose it probably doesn’t matter anymore. That history, finally, is being condemned to history.

I like them.

I hardly ever get fresh cookies, but my favorite cookies are oatmeal cookies.

In the past when I heard news like this I'd tell myself that I'd never be in a position like this. Then a few times I'd get caught up in a situation that kept escalating to the verge of this point. I now know to never judge anyone in a case like this. You never know when you may be next and you can't always control other people's actions. I wish him the best.
