Mike Repole Piece

[Beasts of the East]

I was very friendly with one of the legendary Holy Cross high school coaches, now deceased.

One day I was chatting with him and he told me, "I was on lunch room duty one day and passed a table where a table of kids were dropping F bombs and other profanities loudly, unaware of their surroundings. So he strolls up to them, and said to them 'You guys are a bunch of jerks, do you realize that?' They replied, 'What, coach? What did we do, why are you calling us jerks?'. So the coach replied, 'You see, I'm not offended by that language. If we were in a bar together, I'd be using it too. But you guys are idiots because you have no respect for where you are. You use foul language here, with your girlfriends, or at home eith your parents. You're idiots."

Apparently Repole, with his wife and young daughter on the podium with him, was not at the Holy Cross lunch table long ago, or if he was, was just another thing he didn't learn in school.

Hardly matters. He could flipoff Shanley but for $8 million per year of NIL he can say whatever he wants.

Could kill myself for not betting Mindframe who I loved, but price wasn't that great. A helluva race though.

I couldn’t watch the race live because I was in Washington, D.C. with my son and found out you can’t use any betting Apps for horse racing there. When we drove back to Maryland I watched the replay. Great race. The rest or the year should be interesting for Fierceness and Mindframe but if everyone stays healthy I think the Breeders Cup Classic winner is more likely to be Sovereignty or Journalism.
