John Rillie never shot in the pre-game shoot around. (not the warm up but the shoot around earlier). No point wasting them he used to say.

I played with Rillie and he did shoot in pre games.

I understand the ritual of retiring a top or number of a champion player, but I never really agreed with it, why can't we cellebrate our champions and honour them by giving a future potential champion player the same number?

Seems like retirement of a number is a sad moment and not seeing that number playing ever again is also a bit sad IMO!

Maybe retirement for 5 or 10 years tops, then reactivate the number again for a worthy player...

"have a small 3 door car..."

I'd read that much and wondered if you pooed in it.

3 Door Car-- at least you would have an hour to clean it.
What about the "nervous piss" or 6?

I only have an in-game ritual where I subtly touch my cock on each possession.
