So Sunday I'm watching yet another Nats stinker (which they actually won thanks to Adam Dunn) and just as I'm about to turn during the 7th inning stretch I catch who's going to sing God Bless America. Let me just say that even I found this extremely cute.
Way to excite the masses, TJ.
ReplyDeleteTJ's manliness quotient actually went down with that post.
ReplyDeleteDoes my love of decorative soaps and the Golden Girls work for or against me?
ReplyDeletePlease rank the Golden Girls as to how attractive you find them, and then we will judge.
ReplyDeleteFor rankings purposes, do you mean "now" or "1988"?
ReplyDeleteAll Sophia Petrillo, all the time...
ReplyDeleteCross her off then.
ReplyDeleteConventional wisdom puts Bea "Is For Bag" Arthur last, if only because all most folks think of when they hear her name is Jeffrey Ross's joke. Then again, that joke is all he's known for in some circles. But I think anyone who puts Estelle "I'd Rather Do J.Paul" Getty (in the old lady makeup) anywhere but last is falling prey to that influence. Old bat.
ReplyDeleteIt's really a two-horse race, and "Motley" Rue McLanahan has most of the votes. Betty "Turns" White "When I Get Naked" finishes second, with the other two getting mostly the masochistic vote.
Rue McClanahan wins in a landslide. She was the youngest and dirty. Conversation over.
ReplyDeleteLook at that beautiful Orlando skyline...or something.
ReplyDeleteRemind me - Did the Warriors just give up on Pietrus? Or was he a FA and the Magic threw boatloads of cash at him?
ReplyDeleteA little of both. They kind of gave up on him (Don Nelson had completely given up on him) and didn't attempt to re-sign him last summer. The Magic signed for 4 years and about $24 miliion.
ReplyDeleteI'd say that was money well spent, if just for this series alone.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Pietrus never played this well or this consistently in the regular season. Never.
ReplyDeletebig gulps, huh?
ReplyDelete"How you beating the heat Ollie?"
ReplyDelete"SWIMMIN HOLE"
OK, back to the hoops...
Definitely. He was pretty good against Boston too.
ReplyDeleteI've killed him because he made dumb plays on both ends and just seemed like a great athlete who didn't really know how to play.
Suddenly, he's hitting those quick trigger 3s that, still, make me cringe and he's not constantly gambling on D and, by god, he's a damn fine role player. As well as a much needed dose of hyper-athleticism in the Orlando lineup.
Daniel Gibson making shots could prove problematic. He honestly scares me more than Mo Williams. I just feel like the stage (and the role) might be a little too big for Williams. For at least the first year.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm the Magic I'm just finding it hard to get scared of a guy named Boobie.
ReplyDeleteRob, given the abysmal shortstop play in recent years for your beloved Sox, do you ever regret the Beckett/Ramirez deal?
ReplyDeleteSkip to my Lou en fuego
ReplyDeletehard to regret the 2007 championship and beckett's dominant postseason. (not to mention lowell's contributions.) ramirez is a stud and i'd love to have him, but no, i don't regret the trade.
ReplyDeleteI forgot Lowell was in that deal. Anibel Sanchez go to Marlins too with Hanley?
ReplyDeleteAs you are well aware, I hate Beckett.
Do the Magic plan on defending any drives to the basket this half?
ReplyDeletebeckett has pieces of aj burnett in his stool. and yes, anibal was part of that trade: 4 sox prospects for beckett, lowell and willie mota.
ReplyDeleteRafer now actually making And1 shots...
ReplyDeleteSo let me get this straight...What Howard just did merits a tech but when Mo Williams pegged with the ball from 30 feet away it was cool?
ReplyDeletethat was some bullshit right there
ReplyDeletemike brown realizes he's allowed to tell his players what to do, right?
ReplyDeletePietrus, Alston and Lee...oh my.
ReplyDeleteNot to sound like Doug Collins too much, but Delonte West is phenomenal in the post.
ReplyDeleteWell look at that...a foul on LeBron.
ReplyDeleteGet the ball to The Ottoman...
ReplyDeleteCan somebody please fucking explain to me why Mickael Pietrus and Rafer Alston have shot 3 of the Magic's last 4 shots?
ReplyDeletewow!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...4.1 left is an eternity.
ReplyDeleteRashard Lewis has shut me up repeatedly this postseason, and I couldn't be happier about it. But, if you're LeBron here, don't you just go barreling to the hole? I mean you're getting the call.
ReplyDeleteTeej, I was just thinking the same thing. 4.1, too long.
ReplyDeleteOh my god.
ReplyDeleteThanks LeBron.
ReplyDeleteKarma says he misses this.
ReplyDeleteThat is some fraudulent motherfucking shit.
ReplyDeleteDavid Stern has a remote control that controls that rim. You know this.
ReplyDeleteUnreal. OK, Hedo, get it done...
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck was that scrum?
ReplyDeleteFoul?
ReplyDeleteNot a foul at all. Plus, that play is a one in a million shot. You can get off a decent catch and shoot in 0.5.
ReplyDeleteAnd that one time was used up by the Dwight and the Magic last year against the Spurs.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I will say this though, Dwight gets very little respect from the refs, even on the defensive end.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe it just feels that way because the refs blow LeBron.
ReplyDeleteIt is insane how easily Howard backs down Cleveland's bigs. The only thing they have to do is keep him from getting 2 feet away from the basket, but they can't do it, fronting him or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteJust fucking foul him. Jesus.
ReplyDeleteMy boy Mickael bringing it tonite.
ReplyDeleteLeBron...awful decision buddy.

ReplyDeleteCould he actually be fatigued?
ReplyDeletePossible. I don't think he's played as great as he's getting credit for in this series overall.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ben Wallace for actually fouling him.
ReplyDeleteWow. In my eye.
ReplyDeleteIt's the still the preferable strategy. Every fucking time.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha suck it LeBron.
ReplyDeleteThat was sweet. I'm not convinced LeBron doesn't steal this tip though.
ReplyDeleteUm...
ReplyDeleteMark, you can breathe now.
ReplyDeleteEscape is the definitely the right word there, Marv. I thought that shot was good, pretty much the whole way.
ReplyDeleteThat was entirely more stressful than it should have been.
