I agree with Mr. Ripley�Bob, these perspective pieces ARE awesome (this one reminds me of something from your Bugged Soup transcripts, and b’ that “I am Puerto Rican�an open” poem was like sancocho for the soul for this nuyorican when I read it as a teenager).

I was a freshman in college about to take my first journalism class in 2000 when Bob Knight’s career ended at IU.
All Intro-writing courses were full and myself and a dozen other freshmen were placed in an advanced sports writing class. Coach Knights firing was our first mock assignment.

I still remember comparing the leads on the different New York papers trying to figure out how to write a full news story for the first time. The headlines read like “You’re poached coach”& “Finally a bully gets what he deserves,” and it was hard then and its hard now to deal with the irony of how one can try teaching respect and manners to young men by not showing them their due.

Anyway that�s my closest association
�thanks for sharing your story, I really enjoyed reading it.

P.S. Yes, “Vault” on 134th did have your hiking pack and my size! – Plus I mentioned that I came there on your suggestion and they showed extra love on the price saying “cause you�re a friend of Bob’s.” Thank You.

Teddy Nitro sill has it I see…

I’ve been meaning to do a post on Clae for a while. The quality on their shoes are just amazing. The brand has me more excited about casual shoes than anytime in recent memory. Bob, had I known your man had started it up, I would’ve hit you up earlier about ‘em.

Yo those Clae’s are on FIRE. Does anyone know if they come with those red laces? On the site they have them in the matching umber. I wish they weren’t so got-damned expensive. Bobbito you’re a genius with this “Feet on the Street” thing. I wanna start my own!
