Mr. S£im Citrus

You have my attention.

So what? They have more wins than Golden State and Washington combined, and ESPN doesn't seem to think that those guys are worse than Sacramento...

Is the strike going to have any impact on the slap countdown, or can we presume that episode has already been written?

Power rankings are such bullshit; there's no way that we're only the fourth-worst team in the league. I would gladly take any of the three teams "ranked" below us instead of what we've got; at least they all have an upside...

I'd totally pay to see that.

Artest comes back against Minnesota.

That must be why Ted is so nervous...

Okay, you got me; it actually amuses me on e levels. I rounded down.

That amuses me on two levels.

The fuck? Am I being whoosed here? That wasn't even the greatest team in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Stats have been slightly modified; also, if there's anyone who's never heard WC's ring music, and was always curious as to what it sounds like, there's a Youtube link in my stats now to the song, an idea which I have shamelessly stolen from Card.

November 22nd. IIRC, Thanksgiving is traditionally the fourth Thursday in November.

It's times like this that I wish I had a daughter instead of a son. Gameplan seems like a father/daughter-type movie; my son certainly doesn't want to see it...

[Celticfan] In Jesus name we pray, amen. [/Celticfan]

I'm not sure whether I'll be available to write for that show; I'll let you know later.

Another title shot disappointment... And yeah, Johnny actually had a valid excuse for a change, but it still stings; this is, I think, the third time in our last five title shots that we ended up no-showing.

Seattle and Minnesota at home; probably our last chance for a win in a while...

Do you have to win the match for it to be considered memorable? Because that 30-minute Iron Man that Rude had with Steamboat was pretty good.

As a huge mark for the Ventura/Monsoon announcing team, this may be my favorite match ever for commentary. "Boy, I'm glad I'm retired!" "Me too, Gorilla!" "You retired now?" "Definitely; I'd have stuntmen doing that for me!" "You know what, Gorilla? I'm never gonna take a bet on any odds you give... because here's the Conquistadors, right here in the finals... and I heard you made some horrible football bets today, too!" They named the teams in '89, too.

Yeah, sorry; I was awaiting clarification on QMM's status.

Uhm... I think the person we need to ask is Tom... :: makes Puss (from Shrek) face at Taamo :: :: looks more like Puss as Donkey trying to make Puss face ::

By my totally biased, completely subjective criteria, I consider any high-schooler taken after 2000 a bust except for the following: Lebron James Dwight Howard Tyson Chandler Eddy Curry Al Jefferson Josh Smith Monta Ellis Amare Stoudimire JR Smith Deshawn Stevenson And, while the following may be busts, too, I'm willing to give these guys a pass because they haven't met my own personal "Rule of Three (years)" criteria: Martell Webster Andrew Bynum Gerald Green CJ Miles Andray Blatche Amir Johnson Kwame Brown and Darius Miles I declare to be busts by virtue of draft status. Darius Miles has, to this point in his career, the eighth-worst scoring average of any Top-3 pick since the inception of the lottery... And two of the guys that have lower scoring averages (Chandler, Milicic) are at least in the Top-15 in at least one other category... And Kwame? I'll be very interested in hearing your argument for why he isn't a bust... we're talking about a guy who, to this point in his career, is easily one of the worst Number-One picks of all time, at least statistically speaking. Hell, he's the worst number-one pick since LaRue Martin (even worse than Kandi and Pervis, statistically). By exactly what standard is he not a bust?

You clearly have a very different criteria for a bust than I do.
