Podcasts about marvin bad news barnes

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about news, the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that Rhode Island native, Marvin “Bad News” Barnes, was an all-american basketball player and played professionally in both the ABA and NBA? In 1973, Barnes was the first player to score ten times on ten field goal attempts which wouldn't be beaten until 1986. He was rookie of the year in the ABA playing for the Spirits of St. Louis. Barnes was known for his colorful personality. Barnes once refused to board a plan from Louisville Kentucky to St. Louis because the short flight was scheduled to arrive before its departure time as it switched time zones. He famously said “I ain't getting in no damn time machine.” and rented a car instead. Now, we turn our feature story…. A new question-and-answer document is available for those hoping to learn about plans to remove the Potter Hill Mill dam that spans the Pawcatuck River and once provided power for the now-defunct textile facility. The 21-page informational piece was developed by the project team and provided to the town councils in Westerly and Hopkinton and is also posted on Westerly's municipal website. The document attempts to answer questions about the project that have been submitted to the project team through Westerly's website. Tim Mooney, spokesman for the Nature Conservancy said: "At the public meetings, the project team encouraged folks to submit their questions to the town of Westerly's website. And we got a lot of great questions. The Q&A document gives the project team a way to answer the community's questions and provide an update on the status of the project at the same time." The private, non-profit Nature Conservancy is working on the project along with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed Association, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the state Department of Environmental Management, the Southern Rhode Island Conservation District and the town of Westerly. Removal of the dam has emerged as the project team's preferred option for accomplishing the project's main goals: improving fish passage in the river and reducing flood risks. Repairing the dam has been ruled out because of maintenance that would have to be performed once the repairs were made. The dam and mill property were both petitioned into receivership by the town of Westerly after property owner Edward Carapezza and his Renewable Resources Inc. failed in efforts to redevelop it. Prior owners also allowed the mill property to languish. The dam is the last barrier to fish passage on the river. Many members of the project team have worked together for years to remove other dams and obstacles in the river.

Born  in Hartford, he was a lifelong Whalers fan. In his youth, he demonstrated early signs of culinary acumen by referring to chicken wings as chicken-on-the-cob. Justin was forevermore drowned out by the arrival of his siblings. Raised in West Hartford, Justin was a '92 graduate of Conard High School, where with a group of masterful misfits he forged unbreakable bonds, whose antics tried the patience of parents and brake calipers. A self-taught musician, he won the talent show and was a featured member of his Dads garage band, Duke and the Esoterics. He spent his summers in Quonochontaug, RI, getting into good trouble with lasting friends, and where he would eventually call home despite detesting sand. He attended Johnson and Wales in Providence, RI as he honed his technique and creativity at various established restaurants before working up the line at W.B. Codys in Westerly. After 15 years of succulent BBQ and a cast of treasured Codys characters, including his best friend Chad, Justin enjoyed his remaining years at the Breachway Grill in Charlestown. A gifted Executive Chef, Justin was known for his tireless dedication, diligence, and intrepidness. Over the years, he refined his signature dishes of Chicken Scarpello, Fish Tacos, Sweet Chili Pasta, and Braised Short Ribs, while constantly pushing himself and the limits of expletives, on one occasion perfecting a tricky flan recipe for a Breachway Wine Night Dinner. A compassionate mentor and peer, he was quick with a knowing smirk to a harried colleague. He is predeceased by his best dog pal, Cody and is survived by countless friends far and near, extended family including loving Aunts, Uncles and cousins, his parents, three siblings, his adoring out-laws that thought of Justin as their own, nieces, nephew and Godson, and his cat, Papi. Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate Justin's life. That's it for today, we'll be back next time with more!

Dans la Chronique de Motor City du jour, retour en arrière direction les années 70 pour parler de Marvin Barnes, basketteur talentueux mais fantasque qui a finit par voir sa carrière gâchée par la cocaïne et par un mode de vie plus proche des gangster de l'époque que d'un joueur NBA. Pourtant l'histoire n'a rien de surprenante, Marvin Barnes se faisant appeler Bad News depuis la fac. Dés le début de sa carrière, Marvin Barnes a toujours marché sur un fil. D'un coté, le succès avec Providence (premier Final Four de l'histoire de la fac), de l'autre un comportement inadapté (tabassage de son coéquipier à coup de démonte-pneu). Cette ambivalence poursuivra Marvin Barnes toute sa vie mais ne l’empêchera pas de se faire drafter en NBA. Et pourtant Barnes ne mettra pas tout de suite les pieds dans la Ligue, préférant signer en ABA, la ligue concurrente, réputée plus cool, plus flashy et aussi plus permissive... En ABA dans les années 70, la drogue circule facilement et nombre de joueurs tombent dans la cocaïne, ce qui arrivera à Marvin Barnes. Pour autant, les premières saisons avec les Spirits of Saint-Louis, Barnes fait illusion et se montre même plus fort que son idole Julius Erving, alors MVP de l'ABA. Parler de l'histoire de Marvin "Bad News" Barnes nous permettra aussi de parler de cette ABA tellement intéressante. C'est lors de la dissolution de l'ABA en 1976 et sa fusion avec la NBA que l'histoire de Marvin Barnes rencontre celle des Detroit Pistons. Lors de la draft de dispersion, les Pistons hésitent entre Marvin Barnes et Moses Malone : ils feront malheureusement le mauvais choix et hériteront de Marvin Barnes, qui n'a plus rien du joueur qu'il était auparavant. A partir du moment où Bad News mettra les pieds à Detroit, ça sera la fin pour lui. Dans cette Chronique, vous découvrirez donc la longue descente aux enfers qu'a ensuite connu Marvin Barnes. La drogue est devenu omniprésente dans sa vie au fil des années, jusqu'à faire de lui un sans-abri, passant de peine de prison à cures de désintoxication. Marvin Barnes aurait pu devenir l'un des meilleurs joueurs de la NBA mais a finit par devenir un nom oublié quasiment de tous.

We mourn the unexpected passing of longtime Boston-area sportswriter & Marvin "Bad News" Barnes biographer Mike Carey ("Bad News": The Turbulent Life of Marvin Barnes, Pro Basketball's Original Renegade) - with our previous Episode 137 interview from November 3, 2019.

Marvin “Bad News” Barnes was considered a future Hall of Fame basketball player before he even graduated from college.  A standout at Providence (averaging 20.7 points and 17.9 rebounds a game, and leading the Friars to the NCAA Final Four in 1973), Barnes was a consensus 1974 All-American with the world at his fingertips. Although Barnes enjoyed two flamboyantly successful years in the American Basketball Association with the colorful Spirits of St. Louis – where he won 1974-75 Rookie of the Year honors, as well as All-Star accolades both seasons – his career quickly fizzled in the post-merger NBA, where he wore out his welcome with the Detroit Pistons, Buffalo Braves, Boston Celtics, and San Diego Clippers in just four years.  By 1980, Barnes’ unpredictable idiosyncrasies – fueled by chronic drug and alcohol abuse – had turned a can’t-miss pro basketball superstar into a prematurely past-his-prime has-been. Longtime Boston sportswriter Mike Carey ("Bad News": The Turbulent Life of Marvin Barnes, Pro Basketball's Original Renegade) joins this week’s show to delve into the tragic story of a supremely gifted athlete whose self-destructive nature took him from sure-fire basketball greatness to a life of homeless panhandling, drug dealing and pimping on the mean streets of East San Diego, and five years in prison. Even with seemingly limitless chances to turn things around, Barnes was repeatedly undone by predictable slides back into addiction and reckless behavior – ultimately succumbing to acute cocaine and heroin intoxication in 2014 at age 62.  The story of Marvin Barnes is one of squandered talent, met by tragically unconquerable inner demons.

The Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast continues its series on 50-point games continues with a look at the post-merger era, where no dominant stars emerged and 50-point games became increasingly rare. On this episode, hosts Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch discuss the changing of the guard as the ABA merged with the NBA bringing down the total number of professional basketball games and, by doing so, reducing the number of 50-point games immediately. We also delve into the league’s slowing pace, the last year of double-digit 50-point games until the late 80s, a check-in on stats as they related to 2019 and all-time in 50-point games, the lack of dominant stars in the era and much more. We also take a few minutes to talk about one of the greatest duals in NBA history as David Thompson and George Gervin battled for the NBA scoring title on a single night resulting in both players putting up all-time great scoring totals (with some all-time great stories as well!) Additional players discussed include Marvin “Bad News” Barnes, Gail Goodrich, Phil Smith, Pete Maravich, Adrian Dantley, Calvin Murphy, John Williamson, Truck Robinson, John Drew, Mike Newlin, Freeman Williams, Larry Kenon, Billy Knight, Bernard King, Moses Malone, Ray Williams, Kelly Tripucka, Joe Barry Carroll, Larry Bird, Kiki Vandeweghe, Kevin McHale and Alex English.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Emmy Award-winning TV producer and ESPN 30 For 30 sports documentarian Dan Forer (Free Spirits; Mike and the Mad Dog) joins Tim Hanlon to discuss the curious two-year odyssey of the American Basketball Association’s colorful Spirits of St. Louis franchise, whose impact still continues to haunt the modern-day NBA, forty years after the team’s demise.  Forer describes the importance of mercurial star forward Marvin “Bad News” Barnes to both the club’s success and the making of the documentary; why Spirits brother-owners Dan and Ozzie Silna declined to participate in the making of the film; how a baby-faced kid out of Syracuse named Bob Costas got his first professional sportscasting gig; and how three of the team’s most talented players effectively lost their careers to the evils of drug addiction. 

NBA great Rod Thorn joins Adrian Wojnarowski on The Vertical podcast for a wide-open and engaging visit on his 50 years in pro basketball. Thorn tells an array of stories from his days as a tortured All-American in Jerry West's shadow at West Virginia, to the barnstorming days of the NBA, to competing with Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell. Thorn tells of the genius of Julius "Dr. Jr" Erving in his days as a coach with the ABA's Nets, the demons of Marvin "Bad News" Barnes with the St. Louis Spirits and what made Spirits' radio voice Bob Costas so irritating in two-on-two pick up basketball games. Thorn talks about drafting Michael Jordan in Chicago, trading for Jason Kidd in New Jersey and why he fired Byron Scott after back-to-back NBA Finals appearances. The stories keep coming from Thorn on a terrific edition of The Vertical Podcast with Woj.
