Clubhouse

by Michael Bradburn Feb 19, 11:53 PM Rich Schultz / Getty Images Sport / Getty New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone tries not to let criticism of his "new-school" ways bother him too much because, in his mind, he's using advanced statistical analysis in tandem with his experience as an infielder over a 12-year MLB career."You are missing the boat if you are not all-in on all of it and understanding the importance of all of it," the skipper told Joel Sherman of the New York Post. "I try to bring that down (to the clubhouse) all the time.""One thing rubbed me wrong … (is that) they called me a 'data applicator,'" Boone continued. "Like I am not a baseball guy and just some 'data applicator.' I have been in this game all my life, bro. I am as baseball through-and-through as anyone. Just because I have been open-minded and grown in the game doesn’t mean I am any more old-school or new-school than I have ever been.  » Read More

XXL.com Wack 100 was recently on the Clubhouse app in the 100 ENT room when he was asked about his relationship with Kanye West. During that discussion, Wack revealed that Kanye West’s wealth has grown from $6.6 billion to $9.6 billion and dubbed him the man of opportunity. Kanye is Kanye. He got a million employees and a host of friends, so whatever your lane is with him, he gets into my car, and we leave. We take business meetings. I take him home and pick him up. So the trust factor is definitely there; he calls me about business. We go over business plans, I help him through situations, so we are alright, straight, and you can always grow with him. So if it’s some new s*** you put it on the table in front of him, and it makes sense, then that is just something else that you are doing with him. So I had to give Kanye a name; his name would be the man of opportunity,” said Wack 100.  » Read More

And that’s all he will be until his legs are healed enough from a harrowing car crash a year ago about 20 miles away from Riviera.  » Read More
