'F--- Sister Jean'

I’m an Xer and a Sixers fan, and I haven’t been this excited in at least a decade.

 

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round
She told me her name was Sister Jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
People always told me be careful of what you do
And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth
Sister Jean is not my lover
She's just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son

 

Or maybe they like basketball? (Without taking any shots at posters I like very much, the popularity of the WWE with adults is a mystery to me.)

 

I think that the current NBA is really fun to watch, and they don't come to it with all the biases about how, "It ain't like it was back when Michael Jordan and Larry Bird were playing and it wasn't all this me-first ball!"

The NBA was ugly basketball for a little bit. But now it's not. But you'll never convince old-timers of that. These kids don't care that it sucked to watch Ben Wallace.

 

I enjoy the NBA in the playoffs. I'm not watching 80 regular games of it. (That's aggregate, not one team.) Are you?

Compared to football and baseball, basketball, as a strategic event, is simply a lesser pleasure for me. Too many possessions that look the same, too many games, too many teams in the playoffs, too long of playoffs, too many 3s, too many times when 1 player decides who wins or loses.

 

Yeah, but Kevin Love made a nice defensive play late in the win last night against the Raptors.

They say Kevin Love sucks at the defense.

 

I have a millennial nephew with whom I have a bet.
Philly playoff berth means I must shave one eyebrow.

FYI my job requires a lot of public speaking and occasional tv spots

When will I learn not to make bets while heavily intoxicated?

 

Next time bet a shaved ass cheek instead of an eyebrow. Way less noticeable.

Or, you know, so I’ve heard.

 

WWE has long been considered somewhat of a male soap opera (now they're emphasizing women too).

A lot look at it like other shows where you follow and analyze the character movements and motives in each show (ex. "Tag Partner X tagged in, but stared at Tag Partner Y for a few seconds before fighting his opponent: this may mean they're getting ready to break up!"). It's like examining why Luke Skywalker is who he is in the Star Wars movies, or why Don Draper can't help himself in Mad Men.

It's a lot different than 30+ years ago (the 'It's still real to me, dammit!' crowd). Now it's everyone knows it's a show, analyzes the character development and appreciates (or not) the physicality of the wrestlers and matches.

 

"Hey McClure - GFY."

Sincerely, Sister Jean.

PS: We're still playing, you freaking redneck. .

 

I heard a clip of her talk after last night's win ... for someone who's 98 she's still fully there and then some.
