Is John John's coach unhappy in his new role?
Was Ross Williams your favorite World Surf League on-air personality last year? The Momentum Generation star was just the right mix thoughtful, surf-smart, genuine and soothing. His mid-heat analysis toed the line between truly interesting and interestingly true.
When he announced that he would be moving from the booth to John John Florence’s side as personal coach it was a sad day but also a happy day. Sad for us, the audience. Happy for Ross who now got to share his insight with one of the most exciting surfers in the world and maybe just maybe usher in second consecutive world title.
But do you think he regrets his decision to leave Ron, Turps, Pete, Pottz n The Razz?
I studied him during the Hurley Pro there leaning on the competitor’s tent railing, staring out to sea. His expression never changed. It was steely. Serious. Sullen.
Someone intelligent messaged me asking, “Why does Ross have resting bitch face?” And I thought, “That’s is exactly what is is. Resting bitch face. Perfect. But why indeed?”
Is it very difficult to coach?
Is it not all that it is cracked up to be?
Does John John yell at Ross behind closed doors much like Trump does at Sessions?
Or is it simply a matter of having left the cast too early?
What if, say, Joey left Friends mid-season five. He would have had to watch five more seasons of Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler and Phoebe having the times of their lives and I guarantee his expression would have transformed into permanently dour as well.
Speaking of, am I right here or no?
Ross: Barton
Rachel: Pottz
Joey: Turpel
Phoebe: Strider
Chandler: Pete
Monica: Ronnie

That caption is brilliant.
Fired from voluntary work. Man that stings.
The most amazing thing about this is that it hasn’t erupted into a bloody turf war with power-crazed mods banning each other/removing privileges etc.
KVF tried to spike my manhattan on Saturday night but I cleverly switched drinks with bitter guy.
there’s still time?
Oh yes there is. Oh yes there is.
i woke up in an alley and my asshole is sore
My neck is just around to argue with Pete. Obviously Ronnie could keep the tussle around live so someone had to do it.
I got a tick on my nuts and now they are swelled up like grapefruits.
Sorry, I have never seen friends but wanted to make a contribution.
Is this true? About the never having seen Friends?
Yes.
When it was on I was travelling the seven seas like Mike C’s dream gap year and forgot to watch TV.
I’ve also never seen Friends. I’ve tried, but never managed more than about 15 seconds before shouting violent abuse and casting about for either the remote or a half-brick.
I’ve never watched a full episode myself.. as well.
Half brick? I remember switching the channel over to it as a kid and the old man went full Elvis on it
I have also worked jobs where I didn’t have to do ANYTHING except show up to get my pay check. Much like George Costanza working on that Penske File, Ross has no raison d’être for getting up each day. Hell of an existence.
The thing that sticks out most in my memory about Ross (Friends’ Ross) is his muppet voice.

I used the cartoon filter.
If that’s all you want to use, probably easier just to go here:

“Smelly Cat” should be the intro and fade out to commercial song in every single WCT tour stop webcas the rest of the year.
I advise against innuendo of anything BG to Gay -the moderators will ban you.
But I HAVE the solution to Ross’s problems with coaching
Ross needs a coach to coach him be a coach
And I have the solution here

Look how happy!
Can you imagine that scene in backstage?
Trestles 2018…
Ricardo whistles to Ross, and he immediately to JJF …
And the training of whistles in the backstage?
Ross:
“F… f… fu… fuuu… fuuuuuuu…”
Ricardo
“No man!!! No man!!! Put these fingers in the mouth!!!”
With all the betting action going on around Surfing I thought it appropriate to frame a market around Why Negatron has disappeared.
1. He got tired of dealing with imbeciles and simply quit — $5:55
2. He got sick of waiting for a % stake in BG and finally stopped working for nothing having been promised a lot (a la Rory) — $1:14 favourite
3. The Inertia saw his value to BG and brought him out in a corporate coup so his quality could not enhance BG. — $558
4. He felt violated when one of his bosses called him a stud and invited to a piano bar for evening drinks — $2:85
5. He felt bad about banning worthy commentators and simply quit — $101
Everyone would lose all their money. It is my great privilege to announce that Negs is back!
The evening at the Piano Bar must have ended really well then!
It was worth all the whiskey sodas that night.
did it end in squirt and poof of spit?
