The Czech Republic

Tony Womack?

I think the ball belongs in Cooperstown, personally.

He's not a dick like Rodriguez, but he's another type of dick, then.

didn't see that one coming. This reminds me of Dusty wanting Grudzielanek over Walker, then Grudz gets hurt, Walker fills in, excels, and gets benched. "He's not gonna get any better if I don't use him!" That does explain Farnsworth, too

I wouldn't know, it hasn't happened to me, I wear mine. But the principle of it is one I'm not sold on.

Like many of America's cultural elite, Bill Walton worships Pan, the Goat God! Oh man. I love The Critic.

Yeah I like libertarianism or classical liberalism, but the Libertarian Party is into stuff like full drug legalization, which I can't endorse with a good conscience. In a perfect world, the Republicans would move back closer to classical liberalism and abandon this neoconservative thing.

Everyone should wear seatbelts because they save your life. But I object to the government forcing you to.

@ Pistons tonight on WGN!

or Bill:

I don't understand why it's so fashionable to be a liberal. What's so hip about high taxes and a big plodding bureaucracy? Probably has something to do with the fact that the conservatives are regressive and traditional rather than progressive and open-minded. Also, last I checked, the Republicans haven't exactly done much in the way of lowering taxes or minimizing this so-called plodding bureaucracy. Whatever. I think one can dress well, see plays, and be educated, while still believing in small government and personal responsibility. They make it seem as if you can't have it both ways. Also, blame the neocons of the party for wasteful spending. You should read Parliament of Whores if y'all haven't yet. P.J. O'Rourke rips apart all the late 80s politicians that cross his path.

LOL!! You think Americans care about the environment?!? LOL!!! You think Democrats care about the environment? LOL!!!! You think Republicans do? No that's the thing. I know they don't give a shit, and they know they don't give a shit. It's the Democrats who pay lip service to the environmentalists and pretend to care but don't really care and only do it to capture another voting bloc.

Looks like we know what matters.

Thank God I wasn't the only one to express outrage over Buddy Rich's omission. Hey next time I'm home, I'm gonna check my basement. I think my dad has copies of the Buddy Rich bus tapes. Oh man. A transcript, it seems.

A-Rod is going to tell Randy Johnson to just keep ignoring Curt, Derek Jeter to start rumors about Schilling's sex life, and then Bernie Williams will egg his house. Oh, I love drama~!

Not to worry! We gave Kyle Farnsworth a contract extension! Oh God. We gave Kyle Farnsworth a contract extension.

Milwaukee wants a team. Milwaukeeans want a team. The NHL wanted Milwaukee to have a team. The only power that got in their way was Bill Wirtz. Then again, I might agree with Dollar Bill that they should just make do with the Blackhawks: the team would get zero attention while the Packers are playing, so that's October, November, December, and traditionally part of January in which the team would get little TV audience, live attendance, and media coverage. I can't fathom a team as significant as the Penguins just folding. I think the tie has to go, however--don't say a shootout compromises the game, having a system in which you can have 35 wins over 82 games and that's considered pretty good compromises the game. No tie, no overtime losses, no shootout wins, no shootout losses...stop adding colums! Jeez. Wins, and losses. There. 5-minute overtime, then a shootout. There. Someone always wins.

As TSM's resident Bill Walton expert....shit, even I don't know what he was going for. He said the Spurs won't need a plane to get to Sacramento (Spurs next game) It was an implied expression. "The victory was such a high" or "They are on cloud 9" take your pick., so he was just playing on that. I am learning the finer points of English.

Maybe he came over from Vancouver? I dunno.

As TSM's resident Bill Walton expert....shit, even I don't know what he was going for. The Sun rises in the west and decends in the east so therefore PHX should win the next game? Who knows. My favorite line is still the decidedly prophetic "this is an intelligent game" right before the shove that started the brawl.

Why are some teams short of 82? And also, yes, teams have struggled in the past with attendance. I posted the article about Carolina's 3,000-seat extravaganzas.

As TSM's resident Bill Walton expert....shit, even I don't know what he was going for.

As did we!

Pistons lost to the BUCKS, so let's not rule anything out as the Bulls make another visit to Auburn Hills.
