The Sports Guy is reporting that Marquis Jets founder and
NBA theme-song-writing mogul Jesse Jaymes is a strong candidate to be the next
owner of the Atlanta Hawks. His wife started Spanx. They aren't slackers.
While I'm excited at the prospect of a "Spanx
give-away" night at a Hawks game next season (that should help improve
attendance at Phillips Arena, right?)...I'm a little worried about the safety
of our beloved "You the Man" theme song.
Half of the Gheorghies are lawyers, right? One of you needs
to look into the copyright status of the Bullets theme song.
We can't have Jesse co-opt it for his new team.
Or sample it.
And/or, we need Ernie to keep this in mind with any ATL
negotiations.
Can we get a "no trade clause" for a song??
i guarantee that i have the best anecdote about "spanx."

Well hello there, Kaylee Hartung.
ReplyDeleteSteve Kroft - dirty dog!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be eating your pudding.
ReplyDeletewhen ya think you're finished with your urinal stop, after a few taps, you return your manhood prematurely only to discover you were in fact not finished, not even close, and you're pants are not dark enough in color or sheen enough in fabric to disguise the mishap, and you have to walk back into your office with two office mates whose spaces are situated so that when that door opens, they are looking right atchya....that happened to a friend of mine once. what a plonker.
ReplyDeleteAnd to that one facebook "friend" who lives in Chicago....yeah, I know. You live in Chicago. And it's effing cold. And windy. And cold. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteSays the dude from Florida who, along with the tattooed warrior, is gracious to give us Florida weather updates at every chance.
ReplyDeleteWeatherbot
cold here today....and tonight/tomorrow low is in the high 20's! brrrrrr. after that though, back to normal in the 50's/60's. get some.
ReplyDeleteThe Bills interviewed Mike Shanahan AND Kyle Shanahan? And if they hire Mike then Kyle would be the OC? Does that make any sense?
ReplyDeleteNo.....Bills
ReplyDeleteTattooed Warrior? Is that my name now or were you talking about someone else, Rob?
ReplyDeleteIt's a little too close to Jean Claude Van Damme's nickname in Kickboxer.
ReplyDeleteDanimal - in the situation you describe, your friend should splash additional water on his pants when washing his hands. The appearance of a faulty faucet is better than the alternative. It worked for one of my friends once.
Brian Schottenheimer is the new UGA OC. I'm sure it was his choice to leave the NFL and the Rams weren't going to can him.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I realized today?
ReplyDeleteThe ability to write a clear, succinct and comprehensive work memo is an actual skill.
I assumed everyone can do this.
They cannot.
Maybe 10% of people can do that, Shlara. Far too many fall victim to burying the lead. You have to put the conclusion/recommendation at the beginning and then reverse engineer, assuming most of your audience will only read the first paragraph anyway.
ReplyDeleteI think your stat may be accurate Mayhugh.
ReplyDeleteAnd I also realized today that I have no patience when I have to work with someone who cannot write a memo.
It's not rocket science.
Almost no one I work with can write a cogent sentence.
ReplyDeleteCan people at NASA write a memo?
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a question for Robodell?
ReplyDeletewhy is mark accusing me of talking about him? all i'm trying to do is not freeze to fucking death here in siberia.
ReplyDeleteI work with a guy from Canada and he thinks Americans are cold weather wimps. I don't know if he can write a memo though.
ReplyDeleteFor the record it's 10 degrees here and I'm very much a wimp about it.
ReplyDeleteJust finished season one of The Wire. As good as advertised.
