Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 08, 2024

Jim Brown in a cameo role.

“And you might want to try running back there.”

Dig deep to accept failure.

The Milford media must have unlimited budgets: reporter at DOWE golf; camera guy tethered to Rod wherever he goes.

Caitlin and Angel, show these guys how its done.

Click dem heels!

Rod has changed jerseys. He was wearing hire and now he’s sporting the Milford jersey. It’s probably not a good sign they took his B league tryout jersey from him.

Speedco is competing with Swifty Mart for Rod’s labor services. Jimmy Jarboe will pay $0.15 more per hour.

Rod has a lot of nerve, stealing a Milford jersey to attend this tryout. Especially someone who already spent time in Juvie.

So Rod flat out admits he’s dogging it. I also don’t think it impresses the decision makers to be running around in high school attire. Especially since it appears the other players might be in their 40s. And speaking of appearing, it appears that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.

I think Rod just admitted to half-a$$ing it on the court. Not a good first impression.

You’re not in Milford anymore, but I feel like you’re within an hour’s bus ride.

P 4 (Rod): “…hey man!…you act like I didn’t prepare for this and did nothing but play baseball all spring…wait!…never mind…”

P 1: Cappy prefers to use a vintage VHS “movie camera”

P2.5: No, sir. I forgot my Red Ball Jets.

P-3: B League Loofa Drill?

hey old timing headband man werent you on espn as one of those guys who lost all his money

if gil is still watching this they must have real good food at the concessions

P-1: What kind of Gym has wall padding that only reaches a kid’s knee caps?

I hope that the medivac chopper is ready.

P 1.5 (headband guy): “…ok…just checking, because the way that you’re playing, I thought it was ‘suk-wad’…”

In all reality, the Washington Generals are having a try out camp in Milford next week. Be there !
