Here's what G:TB World missed while I was soaking up some history and riding some rollercoasters in Williamsburg the past few days.
Hong Kong financier 'Jeremy' (last name withheld, likely because he doesn't want to wind up dead) wowed 'em at a recent Rugby Sevens event. His impersonation of North Korean despot Kim Jong-un played to killer reviews. "I made out with 40 girls", said Jeremy, which seems reason enough to don a dictator's mufti. The imposter's costume was augmented by a retinue of friends who dressed as North Korean generals, and a black guy who went as Dennis Rodman. We've placed calls to FOG:TB Johnny G to see if we can attempt something like this next year. Although we might have better luck impersonating the Muppets.Shaka Smart took his time before deciding to leave VCU after six highly successful seasons. Family considerations, his connections to the city of Richmond, and loyalty to his players were all part of that process, but our sources indicate that the thing that nearly kept the 37 year-old coach at VCU was an offer from Pure Pleasure Club, a Richmond gentleman's establishment.
I'm sure you saw Steph Curry do this to Chris Paul:
And the internet went nuts:
Worlds collided on Wednesday, when the brilliant Men in Blazers podcast dropped a Gheorghe Muresan mention. It was only a matter of time before these two great tastes went all peanut butter and chocolate pie.
Finally, the best thing that happened while I was away happened to one of our own. Most of you already know this, because me and the Teej are lousy secret-keepers, but the NBA Players Association made it official on Wednesday, naming Tara Greco the union's media relations chief. Greco, a former Wal-Mart and Deloitte communications executive, is perhaps better known in internet circles as a FOGT:B and the driving force behind LeBron James' most compelling interview.

You forgot to mention that Chris Paul followed up his embarrassing defensive blunder by dropping 41 pts, 17 assists and yet another nut slap the following evening in Portland.
'forgot' to mention it, because i was in a sports-free cocoon for two days and didn't know it. but paul was also pretty funny after the curry play. shit happens. he handled it well.
do you REALLY need to pick on my new boss CP3 like that??
steph did it. talk to him.
maybe shlara's new heat will have here hob knobbing in joe-ga next week?
Paul was brilliant against Portland. And he's right about getting crossed up. If you play long enough at a high level it's bound to happen. It's a bit embarrassing but not really that big a deal.
yep. but steph's move was otherworldly.
was a little bit surprised not to see g:tb mentioned in the official nbpa release on shlara's new role. i assume that will be rectified at some point.
Hearty congrats to Gheorghe's favorite female follower. That is awesome and they made a smart selection.
On a less bright note, this guy thought it would be a good idea to stay over in NoVa last night. And drive home today. On a holiday weekend. From the DC area. On I-95. I left Tysons at 11 and stopped for lunch briefly on the way. I'm not yet to Stafford. Un. Real.
Today has been remarkably frustrating professionally, personally, refrigerationally, you name it. I will drink deeply from my new bottle of Woodford reserve when zkids go to bed.
To make worlds collide more, the Gheorghe reference made by Men in Blazers was in regards to the "Who's the Man" video the Bullets did. Was that during Shlara's time there?
And Zman, my arm can easily be twisted for a bevy or three at the Aunt tonight.
During the Shlara AND KQ heydey, I do believe.
the bikinis are out in full force today. some bad. some gooood.
The Aunt is a sound call.
As are bikinis.
While today blows and is a bad Good Friday, I should add that I had a series of mini – summits with some fine fellows. Rob, Marls, Marston, Gus, even Mrs. Marls got in on the action. Great times as always, thanks for hanging.
nice to see that tr doesn't read g:tb:

zson just announced that zdaughter is a liability. No idea where he gets this stuff.
So Tiger is going to play at Augusta...This won't be a media crapstorm.
"even mrs. marls got in on the action" is such a clarence thing to say.
Even if Clarence didn't say that?
Just got home. That's a long damn trip. Be safe out there, friends.
I'm sure it won't be bad returning from OBX on Sunday.
HBO is killing it with their most recent docs. The Jinx and Going Clear are both tremendous.
Happy Birthday Teej!!
getting ready to head out to celebrate the birth of the baby teejus with beer and donuts. someone post a final four peep open thread.
more winter for spring break! we made it up to the vermont house and there's three feet of snow, good for sledding, snowboarding, snow-shoeing, and beer drinking (new switchback-- roasted red ale and i built a big beer chilling snow-pile on the porch) but maybe bad for my marriage . . . catherine demands a warm vacation next year.
