The Pi Brew
We’re back from another long, glorious weekend. The July 4th celebrations were everywhere you looked. The NBA Finals are about to kick off this week with the Milwaukee Bucks taking on the Phoenix Suns. Yes – I know that’s crazy and the stars should’ve been aligned for the Sixers to get to the Finals. But, life happens and here we are. Also, in a rather sickening turn of events – Bill Cosby had his conviction overturned due to a technicality and thus proving yet again, that when you’re rich – the odds are in your favor to get away with virtually anything. We have a lot to cover this week, so let’s get to it. It’s Brew time.

The Hawks losing the series to the Giannis-less Bucks makes one thing clear: The Lord God Jehovah has a particular disdain for the 76ers.

I fully support survivors of sexual assault coming forward. My post was in no way intended to be insensitive to their truth. Personally, I know from friends and family that such abuse has lifelong residual effects. My heartfelt wish is for healing.
