I feel the need...the need for 'Sheed

NBA malcontent and all-around asshat Rasheed Wallace hit an absurd three last night to send the Pistons and Nuggets to OT...we're talking "69 foot bank shot with no time left on the clock" absurd:

Hust proves that good things happen to good people...

George Karl must've been in a pleasant mood after this game.

T.J. said...

Um, I'm not really seeing how Andre Wadsworth is going to help the Jets...the guy hasn't played in the NFL since 2000.

Geoff said...

Cheese and crackers...Andre Wadsworth? Really? Was Aundray Bruce not taking calls?

Mark said...

Even when he was in the league, he couldn't stay healthy enough to get on the field.

T.J. said...

It's been a week of stellar moves for the Jets...the signing of Marques Tuiasosopo is a real season-changer as well.

Mark said...

Speaking of stellar...

Are you sure it wasn't a 26-footer that totally outtalented the Nugs?

T.J. said...

Pete Gillen jokes get me everytime...

T.J. said...

The fellas at Need 4 Sheed aren't going to like Gheorghe disparaging their boy.

Dennis said...

Watch out boys - the pieces are coming together for a 63-win season...I prefer Smithwicks, Tom.


Cristian Guzman went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer off Detroit's Mike Maroth on Monday.

Guzman is batting .444/.487/.611 in 36 at-bats. One of the best things that could happen for the Nats this year would be for Guzman to play well enough in the first half for the team to be able to dump the final year and a half on his contract. So far, so good.

Whitney said...

Remember when Tuffy Rhodes hit 3 home runs on Opening Day? And hit 8 that entire year? That was actual regular season action. Spring Training stats mean zip.

100 losses is happening. And then some.

Why would the interweb lie to us?

TRUE BLUE COVERAGE
Report: UK Ready To Name Donovan

March 27, 2007 10:04 AM

According to Darrell Bird of CatsPause.com, UK is poised to name Billy Donovan its new basketball coach after Florida's final game in the NCAA Tournament.

According to CatsPause.com, the reported package is a seven year deal worth $3.5 million per year. The report further states there is a $3.5 million loyalty bonus if Donovan completes all seven years.

The deal reportedly was made last Thursday and Friday during a meeting with Donovan's agent here in Lexington.

Bird writes on CatsPause.com, "Numerous attempts to verify a rumor through independent sources have all reached the same conclusion. Kentucky is poised to name Billy Donovan its new basketball coach shortly after Florida's final game in the NCAA tournament."

Mark said...

In the words of Peter King...poppycock.

Geoff said...

I don't give a shit about North Carolina.

Sincerely,

Roy Williams

Geoff-

You forgot this:

I'm addicted to Coke b/c my Mom used to leave me dime bags on the counter each morning growing up.

That's what that Coke commercial is about, right?

Mark said...

Geoff said...

I think so...although a dime bag of coke seems like it could be pretty small...but on the other hand it was a long time ago...inflation and whatnot.

Here is another famous Roy W. clip:

T.J. said...

I don't think we've properly buried the real culprits here - Camby for the lazy ass inbounds pass, and Melo for the lazy ass attempt to grab said inbounds pass.

Geoff said...

Much like Roy, Mark sees his mom as "the reason he keeps so much coke around."

T.J. said...

And has Roy always been so Vermeil-esque, or is this a new thing?

Geoff said...

No, he cries every year when they get eliminated from the tourney...or win the title...or get caught in traffic...

Mark said...

It's like you've known me for years, Geoff.

I just assumed that Roy's mom started him on dime bags of the ganj and worked him up to blow. You know, gateway drug and all. That's how my Mom did it at least.

Geoff said...

Technically I have known you for years. I believe we met in 2001.

T.J. said...

YouTube is the fucking best:

Mark said...

True. So what's that make, 6 years and 20 minutes of conversation.

Geoff said...

Offline conversation? 20 mins seems high. I'd say 11 minutes worth in Ganiesville in '01 and 90 seconds at Jay's Saloon in '06. You coming back to DC anytime soon? We really need to catch up.

Mark said...

You're right, 20 is probably a bit high. I think I'm coming in April for work. I might also come up to snuggle with Greg for a bit this summer. It's been too long.

Geoff said...

Okay, meet me in the Christian Science Reading Room on 16th st., NW in April and we'll talk.

Geoff said...

Or the Christian Laettner Reading Room...also on 16th.

Mark said...

As long as Christians are involved, I'm in.

Geoff said...

Mark...is Hughes 1 you?

T.J. said...

If so, color me impressed...

Mark said...

Sorry, I had to check to make sure. Yes, yes it is.

Geoff said...

Very impressive.

T.J. said...

I have just been informed that G:TB's namesake might very well be returning to my conference this year, and this time, I assure you there will be a handshake and picture with him.

Mark said...

When and what is this conference again? You've got to help me figure out a reason why I need to attend.

T.J. said...

OK, this we'll discuss over some email, so as to make sure we still have jobs when this thing rolls around...

Mark said...

Good call.

rob said...

hellllooo...lo....lo...lo

T.J. said...

Off to Fort Lauderdale for work...and a spring break shark attack.
