    For the longest time, I just assumed that this “foster family” was connected to Wingfield in some way and was a family friend kind of situation. But no. That was not the case. He had NEVER met them before he moved in. And he passes all of his classes after being placed in that situation by Huggins.

    I wonder what Dumbtonio is doing now. I wonder if Huggy considered having him write a speech for his HOF induction. Or maybe just asked him to “say a few words”
    Per Wikipedia: WOW:
    “ The Blazersedge "Dontonio Wingcast" podcast is named after Wingfield.[4] During college and afterwards, Wingfield encountered various personal and legal troubles, including being convicted for assaulting two suburban Cincinnati police officers. He later sustained severe injuries in an automobile accident.[5] Heading to Washington for a workout with the Wizards the very next day, Wingfield was driving on a wet road near Albany in November 1998 when he skidded to avoid a deer. He broke both ankles and five bones in his back due to the car being flipped and tumbled. Wingfield spent three months in the hospital[2] and then a year to progress from cane to walker, limping under his own power again.[1]

    Wingfield has a prosthesis on his left leg, which was amputated below the knee in 2010 due to complications of diabetes. He wrote a book called “Chasing Success, Finding Purpose," which is available on Amazon.[2]

    After recovering from the auto accident, Wingfield got his culinary arts degree from Cincinnati and returned to Albany, where he began working with youth organizations, such as coaching an AAU basketball team, the Albany Hawks. Most recently, Wingfield has been active in an organization called Save Our Sons (SOS). That program focuses on providing alternatives to gangs and crime for young Albany males.[6]

    Wingfield has nine children and says he's a part of all of their lives. The two eldest, Ashley and Bre, grew up in Albany. Three were raised in Cincinnati – DJ was a three-time All-Ohio high school basketball player played basketball at Ohio University.,[7] Donovan Wingfield who studied music and was a volleyball player at Tuskegee University; and Autumn ‘’Butterfly’’ Mason whom Wingfield didn't meet until 2009, when she was thirteen. Another daughter London grew up in Texas and California and Wingfield met her when she was seven. Wingfield began coaching son Dequan at age 9 in 2004. In 2008, daughter Jay began playing. Wingfield coached their AAU teams, and that brought him to Henderson Gym, where he began his youth program. Wingfield's youngest child, Donjuwan, a student at Douglass High in Atlanta, has stayed with Wingfield in the summers since age 7 and has participated in Wingfield's camps.”

    Well, I now have a pretty good idea what he has been up to. He should invite Nick Cannon to his podcast and play a game to see who knows their kids birthdays

    It won’t happen, but I’d like there to be dead silence when he’s introduced. He’s expecting a chorus off boos, so silence would catch him and the players completely off guard.

    Golf is a relatively simple game, played by reasonably intelligent people, stupidly.

    The boos were like old times - had a mini Crosstown feel tonight.

    Huggins skipped the handshake line with the players after shaking Millers hand.

    Fuck him! Now we know where Mick learned it!

    8-11. Suck it Bob!
