Who’s this Richard Herr Anyway? Well, from what I gather, he’s one of them basketball coaches. You know, the kind that yells at the girls on the court, tells ’em to run faster, shoot better. Probably got one of them whistles too, blowin’ it all the time, makin’ a racket. He coaches girls, that’s…

Alright, so you wanna know ’bout them regency boxing photos, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t like them fancy fights you see on TV now. Back then, it was rough and tumble, real bare-knuckle stuff. I heard tell of a fella, they called him “Gentleman” John Jackson. Can ya believe that? A fighter bein’ a gentleman? Anyways, he was a big deal, one of the best they say. His daddy was a builder, but this John, he took to fightin’ like a duck to water. Only lost one fight…

Alright, so you wanna know about this USA versus New Zealand rugby match, huh? Let me tell ya, it’s like watching a bunch of farm boys try to wrangle a herd of wild bulls, except the bulls are all muscle and know how to play a real rough game. I heard tell that New Zealand, them fellas they call the All Blacks, they’re somethin’ else. They say those guys got rugby in their blood, like we got corn in our fields. They got players everywhere, just swarmin’ like bees around…

Well, let me tell ya, when it comes to those Springboks rugby jerseys, people get all excited like it’s a big ol’ feast day or somethin’. Y’know, they’ve been wearin’ those green and gold jerseys for a long time now, and folks, they’re proud of ‘em, real proud. But it ain’t just the colors, it’s the story behind it all.

Alright, let me tell you about this thing, this… Pendulum, yeah, that’s it. Pendulum The Complete Works Limited Edition Box Set. Sounds fancy, don’t it? My grandson, he’s always yappin’ about this music stuff. Says it’s a big deal, this box set thing. So, what is it then? Well, from what I gather, it’s got all their music. All of it!

Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this Lisa Katolin. I heard tell she married that football fella, Roman Gabriel. Roman Gabriel, yeah, that’s the name. Big fella, played quarterback for the Rams, I think. Folks ’round here used to watch him on that there TV. Always throwin’ that ball, runnin’ around. Seems like a good enough fella, though I never met him myself. Now, Lisa, she was a pretty young thing, I reckon. They got hitched, must’ve been a big to-do. The paper said they moved to Sunnymead after…

I ain’t no expert, but I seen ‘em usin’ these things, and I can tell ya a little bit about what I know. First off, they got these smooth rollers. Smooth rollers, they’re like, well, smooth. Like a big ol’ rolling pin, but bigger, and heavier, ya know? They use these after they poke holes in the ground, what they call “air-ee-fy-in’”. Yeah,…

Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about this here… uh… Archibald Hoban football, or whatever they call it. Sounds fancy, huh? Don’t know much about fancy, but I know a thing or two about football. My grandson, little Mikey, he plays sometimes. Runs around like a chicken with its head cut off, but he has fun. So, this Hoban team, they’re pretty good, I guess. Folks keep talkin’ about ’em. Heard they won some kinda championship, a big deal, they say. Division Two, was it? Sounds important. They got a…

Alright, let’s talk about this basketball stuff, the kinda things them coaches and smarty-pants folks look at. They call it “KPIs,” sounds fancy, but it’s just a way to see who’s doin’ good and who needs to hustle more. Like, you can’t just say “win the game,” that ain’t enough. You gotta look at the little things. Points per game, that’s a big one. How many points a fella scores each game, on average. More points, usually means you’re good at puttin’ the ball in the hoop, simple as that….
