» Keith Thurman Comes Into His Own, Yaqui Lopez, Sanctioning Bodies, Ray Liotta, My Pal Al, & The Chutzpah Award Posthumously Goes to Debbie Edwards
Oy Vay are you going to hear it today… Hello RSR readers. I have been
gone for a little while for some much needed R/R with my beloved bagel
breaker Sadie. My batteries are recharged and expect lots more from me
in the upcoming weeks. Bradley, get your Publisher/Editing hat out, I am
going to be putting you to work over there in Oklahoma boychick. Let’s
get right into it…
Keith Thurman… I was not sold on this young
man, but knew he was skilled. Well, this past Saturday, what a war he
staged with tough Shawn Porter. I had him winning the fight, but very
close. I would love a rematch and also, agree, Danny Garcia needs to
fight him.
Yaqui Lopez… Was he ever in a bad fight? My collection has many of his wars and I can watch them anytime.
Sanctioning Bodies… Bradley, I am taking a word out of your lexicon… FUGGEDABOUTIT! They are all crap today.
Ray Liotta… Love this guy and wish he did more movies. Here are my top five movies by him.
5. Blow
4. Something Wild
3. Dominick and Eugene
2. Field of Dreams
1. Goodfellas
My Pal Al (“Bad” Brad’s Father)… This
Saturday, July 2nd, marks the 18th anniversary Al left us and there is
not a day I don’t think of him. Bradley has done a wonderful job of
keeping his memory alive. I don’t want this to be a somber part of my
column because Al left his mark on this world and in the final analysis,
that is worth more than any amount of money.
Al story… In 1977, a funny hockey movie came out named Slapshot
starring Paul Newman. Well, Al loved movies and we went many times. This
time, he also took Bradley with us. The movie was rated R. If there
were nude scenes, Al would always cup his hands over Bradley’s eyes
which was always funny even back then to see. As we were standing at the
concession stand, the manager came over to Al and was a Holy Roller. He
said, “Sir do you realize there are curse words in this movie?” Without
missing a beat, Al replied, “Pal, let me tell you something, there is
not a Fucking word in this movie I’ve not called him already (Bradley)…
Holy Roller steamed off and once again, Al gave me one of the funniest
memories that to this day, I remember. I miss and love you Al. I’ll be
talking to Bradley this Saturday, as we always do on your anniversary
and trading more stories with him. Sleep well champ until we meet again.
I can’t wait…
The Chutzpah Award… The Chutzpah Award goes
to Debbie Edwards. Why I didn’t give it to you before sweetheart I
don’t know. I watch all of The “Bad” Brad Berkwitt Shows on the RSR
YouTube Channel and the banter between you and Bradley has Sadie and I
crying. The love and
loyalty you have for our beloved Bradley, is greatly appreciated and
his father would have loved you to pieces. Bradley told me “Quick”
Tillis’ wife Vanessa, nicknamed you guys “Burns and Allen”. She was spot
on. Keep up the great work and see you soon on your trip to Florida
with Bradley. Hugs and Kisses…
