Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. - Jack Handey (SNL)

You know, I could almost forgive the OKC team for buying the Sonics under false pretences and stealing a team that was still beloved in Seattle. But coming up with a yawn inspiring name, boring color scheme, and downright pathetic logo is simply unforgivable. Boooo!

Monta Ellis, didn't you learn anything from Jay Williams and Vladimir "Snowflake" Radmanovic?
I love the summer, there's so much to do and the weather is so nice. The Fall always seems so depressing. So that's why the powers that be bring us presents to cheer us up. Like Thanksgiving, football, new TV shows, fantasy football, postseason baseball, and of course preseason NBA! Media day is Sept. 29! Mark your calendars.

I like to read the first couple of sentences and then guess the author. I don’t ever remember guessing wrong.

I had Weinman (sp?) on this one.

But you got me!

…looks like a nice bit of ‘misdirection’ by Jeff on that one, Woodstock ;)

Hmmm…oddly enough, I’m not really sure I’ve said all that much about them (this is the peril of saying too much in general…you end up forgetting what you’ve said; time for a look-see through the archives)…but hey, I’m honored to be confused with the head honcho ’round here :D
