Last evening Lefty and Shorty were all but ready to close the Gulf Station. Rain was falling from the heavens at an accelerating pace and cars were nowhere to be found. Lefty- Why do we stay open until midnight? Shorty-So that you and I can discuss this wacky world. Lefty sat to the left of …
Psst. Did you hear the one about the Catholic priest, the rabbi, the Irishman, and the rooster? Of course, you didn’t. It’s no joke anymore. Once upon a time, people found it funny to poke fun at themselves and others with the use of stereotypical jokes. No more. It’s deemed racially insensitive and sometimes even …
Rare is the Saturday that you take Vegas’ lunch money, but last weekend Abby did just that. Rare was the steak that she bought and devoured enjoying her doggone good picking prowess. That pushed her performance season to date to 18 wins and 11 losses, 28 bones won versus only 15 lost, and a still …

BBR’s fall Board of Directors meeting starts tomorrow in an undisclosed location in the Deep South. This AM we are emptying our files, folders, creatives, thoughts, and tidbits to provide ten very random nuggets. We’ll likely be dark until Friday when Abby gives us the weekend’s winners. Business meetings aside, beaches, booze, and ball games …
Faithful reader number one, after reviewing Abby’s picks last Saturday night, suggested that Abby take a bow. Bow? Wow! Faithful reader number two suggested that a steak was in order over the normal chow. Wow. As Judge Smails famously told his grandson, Spaulding in Caddyshack, “you’ll get nothing and like it.” Three weeks does not …
Unless you live under a rock you know that 10-15k Haitian migrants have been living under a bridge on the border in Del Rio, TX for about 10 days and counting. What you may not know is that in mid-sentence of answering a question yesterday (presumably about Ireland), UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was …
Three quick weeks in we’ve hit the quarter pole in a twelve-game schedule. What do we make of the action thus far? It’s interesting as always, but conference play starts this week and we’ll be a lot smarter because of it soon. Get your nuggets below. ESPN ran this Sunday AM headline, “Bama Looks Beatable!” …
