Rugby for fairies LIV at Miami

Bokolis split the conference championships- the Packers were run over, a bad bet, and the Chiefs blasted their way out of adversity.  This leaves it at 5-5 for the playoffs, with it coming down to the final game.

Chiefs (-1.5) over 49ers - Bokolis is taking somewhat of a chance posting the evening before the match.  I am leaving myself open to the dead-hooker story.  In reality, I was in at -1 a long time ago, so any dead hookers will have to say missing until Monday.

Lay people are all over the Chiefs, while players seem to be favoring the 49ers.  Anyone taking the 49ers has to be putting tremendous stock in their defense and running game.  They might also be banking on Andy Reid mucking up the playcalling like he used to, on Kyle Shanahan winning that battle.

Bokolis will be banking on that 49ers running game not being nearly as good as you think it is, on the Chiefs daring Jimmy G to beat them, and, even if everything goes wrong, on Mahomes and that offense being able to blast their way out of it.  I see this as the Chiefs having a 75% chance of winning, which should translate to more than a two-point victory- more like two touchdowns.

When I cook beef...

When Bokolis found out about Kobe Bryant's number being up- via a Yo! Did you hear what happened to Kobe? text from one of my homeboys- my response was that I feel about how Tony felt about Omar- an eerie parallel, don't you think?

All Bokolis saw was a link to the TMZ story, which, at that point, was four minutes old.  Of course, I don't believe in push notifications; my friends take care of that shit for me.  While keying in k-o-b-e, I didn't consider or speculate what it could be.

Bokolis didn't click through to the story.  I presumed he was on there with his secretary/mistress 'on business' and that it was a case of statistics catching up with him.

See, Bokolis has never thought much of Kobe.  Leaving aside his forcing a trade before he had ever played a game, I had him lined up as a cocky fuck needing to get the shit slapped out of him, and the only reason that wasn't happening is because Shaq was around.  While I'm not knocking his hustle, I can't have respect for someone who can't clear his own orbit, yet portraying the big willy.  I had even less respect when he later effectively whacked the guy under whose flag he flew (pun unintentional).  I guess Shaq could've kept himself in better shape.

Bokolis' opinion was crystallized when Kobe bought and/or was bailed out of a murky rape situation, where some bird went to the room not realizing what happens when you go to the room, and, this time, Kobe wound up having to take the pussy (and/or ass, apparently).  Moreover, I was already pretty well detached from the NBA.

So, while Kobe might have spent the rest of his days- when he wasn't yelling puši kurac in between free throws- rehabbing his image, I'd never have known.  If he turned into a genuinely good person, it's news to me.  In fact, Bokolis considered his later self-applying the nickname black mamba was his way of trolling for having gotten away with it.

So, right after the whoa!, and saying that I felt about how Tony felt about Omar, Bokolis keyed out, the black mamba is in the black land.  I somehow refrained from keying in Kobe cooked.

Of course, soon enough, the news comes out that one of his daughters was on board*.  Well, fuck, that changes things.  Then it was five people.  Damn, the devil him him hard.  Then it was nine people.  Jesus, this is a fucking mess.

*   Aside- it may have said that in the TMZ article, but Bokolis didn't open it, and was not aware until it was more widely reported.

You can look up the details of the doomed flight.  Whether you believe that the pilot was trying to please his boss, or that Kobe demanded to plow ahead is up to you.  Bokolis does not have that answer.  I do know that this guy was taking a chopper to a girls basketball game because he couldn't be bothered with sitting in LA traffic.

You may also see him as #girldad, as if trending hashtags count in the final judgement.  Bokolis would hate to think that this was karma catching up to him (or the devil coming to collect) but, if I were his accuser/victim, I would definitely be thinking that.

The sadness comes from realizing that there are grieving people left behind, and is for the people roped in with this muthafucka.  The tributes are heinous.  It is sad how we try to make kings or deities out of people.  When you're gone, goodbye, so long, farewell.  False idols, muthafuckas, false idols...this guy was just another cunt.

Suave, homes, ya dun well.
