But the bounce passes Carvers, they would be epic.
My oldest son had a friend whose mom got kicked out of a 7th grade “B” team basketball game. He had a resigned indifference to the situation. Son asked if he was doing ok when guys were giving him a hard time about it and he just shrugged and said, “Remember Mom during T-ball? At some point, you just expect it.”

Having attended games with the McCafferys in the stands, I have some sympathy for their children. I guess they either learn the behavior and embrace it themselves or resolve to be better than that. Pretty obvious which path Connor has chosen.

I doubt it but imagine if those two had children playing basketball? There is no amount of money worth being a ref for those games. It would be a barrage of whining, cursing, and screaming from both the parents and grandparents.
Basically the next generation of Fran and Marge. I am all about having villains to wish ill will upon, so I hope this is true and I hope they have 8 kids that all want to play basketball for Iowa.

Agree with this. As the first born he is probably the favorite and has received preferential treatment his whole life from Mom and Dad. Has probably not had to deal with a lot of adversity or discipline. It sucks and you never want to believe parents have favorites, but it does happen.

The charge is accurate imo but no mention of what led to the 'argument'.


We don't want to live in a society where people are punching each other in the face. 45 days seems stiff but you do the crime you do the time.

And it was a sucker punch. I bet if Jordan would've gotten punched by the person he was actually arguing with, this whole thing wouldn't have escalated to this.
