Sorry, cannot help it. I am sick of the LeBron news but cannot help reading it anyway :-). Kinda like FavreMediaPooloza coming up at the start of NFL season.
I find this interesting though:
After working out for two hours and then icing both his knees and right elbow for another hour,
The guy is 25 and it is the off-season. He works out enough to be in shape, but is not going all out day in day out like in the season. Why does he need to ice his knees? Elbow I can understand, that was injured recently. Is the guy wearing out prematurely?

So who here thinks like me that splitter has already agreed to sign with the spurs and is keeping it a secret until we sign him this thursday.

well, I don’t know. I mean I think realistically, they haven’t started negotiations until recently because he was involved in getting married this past week. I’d think Pop and the team let him have his moment with his (now) wife, and are now starting to get the ball rolling.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Pop took the opportunity to get to know Splitter better just like he did with Timmeh, went to the wedding, brought the newlyweds some good vintage wine and got a conditional verbal agreement right before they left for their honeymoon.
Critiqued the honeymoon love making?

progress report, I’ve begun matching Spurs to NERF guns….
Blair, Hill, Parker, Bonner and Manu are all pretty easy….I have two options for Duncan and I’m really conflicted on both them
I have an idea for Anderson. RJ and Dice have been really tough to match.
I figure I’ll try to match maybe Temple, Hairston and Ian too. I wasn’t thinking I’d do Mason or Bogans, although there is some temptation to use some past Spurs or players from other teams from some amusing pairings. I currently have a list of 12 guns with 2-3 more I could add if needed.

my monitor is a 20", running at 1600×1200, so avatars are small.
the general shape is sorta roughly similar (at least in terms of where the white space is).
i’m red-green colourblind, so the two colours aren’t that dissimilar to me.
those 3 facts mean when i just see your avatar out of the corner of my eye, it looks vaguely like hipuks. obviously when i look at it properly its not, but yeah….when quickly scanning a comment thread i made the mistake a few times. its not quite as bad now.

It was a risky production unlike any mounted prior on the Met stage, the orchestra first imitating the perpetually beating heart of a man walled-in while in pursuit of wine , and then a soprano singing the plaintive aria of a barely alive woman stuffed up a chimney as her ancestral home was destroyed; however, it certainly was Opera Poe.

I keep on reading that aside from Rose, having an “up-and-coming big man” in Joakim Noah is also a selling point for the Bulls in the LeBron sweepstakes. I don’t get it. Sure, I love his hustle and rebounding, and his defense is improving, but offensively? I’m not too sure. His ugly jumper rivals that of his looks, and, while I don’t really get to watch a lot of Bulls games, Aaron Gray probably has more moves in the low post than Noah.
I’m not LeBron, but maybe I’d rather have Brook Lopez as my primary big and not have to share ball-dominating time with D-Rose.

Noah was able to develop some post-up spin moves. I think he improved offensively since his rookie year. That’s not saying much though.

I’m just amazed at some of the shit going on in the NBA right now.
Über contracts, dumbass signings, open courting by players, sabotage, pitiful begging, and a metaphoric act of defecation on the 2011-2012 season.
This off-season was supposed to the culmination of a long-awaited arms race of “great players.”… but I’m not even sure if some of these GMs and team owners could competently compete in a game of grab-ass.
I vote to change the name of the stadium to the “AT&T R.C. Arena” and name the court after Coach Pop.

It’s cyclical. At least, that’s what it’s looking like to me.
Anyone remember what the 1990s were like? Players were signing eight, ten and TWELVE-YEAR contracts in their second or third year; and were getting $85 and $100 mil contracts prorated over those extended years.
Now, the Apostrophes and Joseph Johnsons of the league are getting $100 milli (and more) in just five years or less. Ladies and gentlemen, these are your 2010 versions of Allen Houston and Juwan Howard.

He went from almost 5 PF’s per 48 minutes in the regular season to 2.9 in the playoffs. Hopefully it is equally better refereeing and improved defense.

I’m not particularly rooting for any of these two but I do hope someone scores.

I actually like both teams, but in this game Spain is putting far more pressure on the Germans than vice-versa. Spain has been very close several times, and the breakthrough should come soon.
There you go!

My wife spent her childhood on an Air Force base in Germany, so my side is chosen for me. But I’m still rooting for the traffic cones no matter who wins.

Well, at the very least if this doesn’t go to OT, I’ll have Spain to thank for another 1 or 2 hours of sleep.

It does seem like the Octopus is the real winner here. I hope he gets to pick the final, now that he’s successfully jinxed his home team.

He must have been hanging out with Prince, and having some of his pancakes. I’m surprised they haven’t tried signing him to play PG, I heard the cat can ball.

I recommend reading this exchange carefully, top to bottom, to reap maximum amusement-related benefits. Somehow, for some reason, the conclusion left me with ineffable impressions of Queness. . . .
I have flying monkeys at my disposal, and I'm not afraid to use them.
That is one cool site. I love Simon’s Pie Charts – reminds me of all the times I have done free or cheap photo work for “friends” needing a favor and talking me into it somehow. Not that I am bitter.

There’s also Simon’s guide to shopping at IKEA which is brilliant as well.
This David character is hilarious.
