In all reality , Mr Fleming is also know as Wizzo the Ventriloquist notice all the places on his body he can throw his voice from. Tomorrow he talks out of his ass to Hadley .
Just a little tip, Mr. Fleming. “Let’s keep that part to ourselves” is usually best not spoken aloud in front of a lawyer.
So does Hadley figure out this is all a scam, and do the right thing, and deny Tiki from playing for Milford? That would be honorable, right, and a little surprising. So it probably won’t happen.
Joe Bolek should be producing a documentary exposé on recruitment of student athletes in The Valley. Today, Leonard resembles the character we first met 2 weeks ago, instead of that little buzzcut kid from yesterday with his leg hiked to deliver a silent but deadly. Whatever happened to Gil’s old friend Randy Fulcher of Fulcher Insurance? Randy was around 25 years ago or so.
I’m working a scholarship scam with Gil you fool! I don’t know that gang sign you’re throwing, so get outta my house! We’re talking Stanford, USC, Notre Dame. Not some Wake Forest jive, like we worked for that no-driving Tru. Fool ended up in Hawaii. Did you know Tiki excelled at water polo, and speaks 4 languages? I got a text from LaVar ball!
Even we have no idea what’s happening here. Didn’t Gil agree to keep Tiki on the team only because he was being bullied at New Thayer? With the bullies graduated [?!], it would be fair for Gil to send him back. Also, Leonard has just given up the game to HvB. (Anyway Tiki is no Tru. He’s always tardy, having to ferry his slow sister in his beater to school in New Thayer, and his lateness to school, practices, and games is surpassed only by his late hits on passers.) And why is the school board taking a hard line? If Tiki could help the team, shouldn’t the sports-first school board be backing him? Where is Wildcat Maris? No Milford address, no problem! Also, shouldn’t JaQuan be recruiting a third superstar—depending on when this is supposed to be happening—or maybe talking some productive veteran into signing a minimum-salary contract? Also, couldn’t Quan solve the problem just by buying Tiki a house in Milford? How much could it set him back?
I have figured it out. That’s not a mole on her face. It’s a tick. She pulls it off but the stubborn little varmint figures out how to get back each time.
P 1.5: “well, we need someone around here to mow the lawn, do laundry, take out the trash, wash and vacuum the floors, clean the toilets, clean up after the dog, and wash dishes….why do you ask?”
Hmm, how did Tiki help him when he got called up to varsity? Was it something illegal, which would balance out the favor they’re doing him now? And speaking of favors, do me a favor and visit today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

I’m just here because I’ve never heard of telephones. I like to visit people and use their names over and over.

P1, Because no other defensive back in The Valley wants to play for Gil.
P2, The alternative was moving in with the Thorp’s and you know what happens to kids in that house.
P3, Do they really need him that bad to finish second in The Valley? Again.

I’m trying to make sure I understand the social justice logic here.
School choice is bad … unless it’s reserved for really good athletes. Have I got that right?

I can’t wait to see how Leonard Fleming performs this season. I am guessing all-state because of Tiki’s help.
