DownToBuck’s ghetto fast-food lifehack of the day: go to McDonalds and order a McDouble (or two, one really isn’t enough) with no ketchup, then ask for Big Mac sauce on the side. Bam! Ghetto Big Mac on the cheap. It tastes about the same, you don’t pay the huge markup for the middle bun, and the drive-thru workers know that you’re a total froog (that’s slang for a frugal person, in case you didn’t know, which you didn’t, because I just made it up).
I was reminded of this trick by Alan Williams’ supposed nickname “Big Sauce”. I’d never heard that moniker before, but it seems to be legit, so I’ll roll with it. Anything to prevent that Suns commentator from referring to him as “Big Al”. No. Hell no. Big Al is Al Jefferson. That’s how it is, and always has been. And even if they both got to use the nickname, Jefferson gets precedence when they matchup against each other because he has seniority.
Nicknames aside, Big Sauce got a career high tonight in the absence of Tyson Chandler, who is old. Some of his baskets were a little funky, but that’s what you get with him. Undersized power forwards have to do what they can do get the ball in the hole.
