Connaughton
- Thread starter Jb777
- Start date
Subbed in for Antetokounmpo three-and-a-half minutes into the game.
Looked like "The Freak" needed a breather.
However, Connaughton did not attempt a shot in the first quarter.

JK, do you remember Ed Connaughton, who used to host the horse racing results show on Channel 26 in Chicago?
Of course.
I grew up watching Ed's show.
A good friend of mine once appeared on the program.
Weird time for the program, if memory serves.
A 20-minute show from 4:40 to 5:00.

JK, who was the good friend?
Also Mr. Ed seemed to me like a big drinker. it appeared at times like Ed was hungover from the night before. Ed was not the kind of polished person you normally saw on a television program. He stumbled around alot with his words on the air. he was great to watch. JK, do you know was Ed a big drinker?
Ed was a recovering alcoholic, if memory serves.
Why else would he end the show by saying, "Take it from someone who learned the hard way, make the last one for the road...a coffee."
Ed Connaughton passed away on Christmas Day 2001.
And, oh yes, my good friend who appeared on Ed's show several times was Jeff Gillespie, who worked in the program department with John Tinsley and served as back-up track announcer to the great Gil Levine.
Jeff lives in Las Vegas now and serves as Director of Racing at Las Vegas Dissemination Company.

Wow, those are two names i haven't heard in a long time. Tinsley was the long time chart maker at the Chicago area harness tracks in the 70's, 80's, and 90's.
Gillespie moved to Vegas either late 80's or very early 90's. i know Jeff was doing either the mock call of the races in Vegas and, or the race results that use to get broadcast into the racebooks back then.

Ed definitely looked like he had many nights of heavy drinking.

this is very good insight.
the only buck who can challenge ayton is the greek and if he is shooting free throws these are free rebounds.
freak does not shoot free throws well on the road. he missed 5 in game one and 7 in game 2. say half of those misses were second shots or and ones that's six free and easy rebounds for ayton.
I like the thinking behind this prop bet.
