I'm sure he feels that way in the van with the Thunder team, but yeah, to the average reader he seems like the most insanely pretentious bore.

I heard he brings books out to the bars, but I’m not sure if he ever cracks them open. Also this is not a joke.

I do that if I’m by myself. Sometimes I want to read and want an afternoon cocktail.

Maybe they're for the bus/train ride, or if the people he's meeting show up late? Or is he really that pretentious
If you see offensive comments, just let it go into one eye and let it out of the other eye, no tears and not sadness or anger.

Max Palmer graduated from college, as well. Pretty sure Austin Kanfoush got his Bachelors. Two of my favorites! Unfortunately, Uncle Freddy is a gentleman but not a scholar.

-Phil Shao got a degree in lit from Berkeley

I'm still sad Phil never got to take over Thrasher. More intellectualism in skate writing is needed tbh. Carnie is the only one to ever do it properly imo

It's really true. In addition to losing a legendary skater and apparently excellent human being, we lost Phelp's only true heir

Suciu has a BA in literature from Temple but gives interviews like he’s Professor Emeritus at Harvard.
i mean it’s pretty impressive to get a bachelors degree in a language he’s been speaking his entire life at a college that (from experience) graduates a decent amount of people that are functionally illiterate.
i think jenkem did an article about Temple having the most pros per capita though, so i’m a proud alumnus.

Rattray - Physics
Rodney Mullen - Biochemistry??  Definitely at least an undergrad in something
[close]

He was definitely studying biology of some sort, but I am almost certain he dropped out to take over management of World Industries (probably a very lucrative decision)

I believe Rodney comes from a family of Doctors and was on the path to become one as well.

Also, if it counts. Jimmy Carlin is studying to be an elementary school teacher.

Think he transferred and ended up graduating from The New School in NYC which tends to be a bit pretentious. Also just posted that his girlfriend is going to Columbia now which might explain a bit...
