But I'd love to hear what "they" think is up, when you see the owner of a professional sports team (In the Nations Capital) open up a blog for discussion/replies, and only get (apparently) 2 or 3 per post.. They either receive hundreds of replies, with only 3 being "repeatable", or they only have 3 fans.. Which is it?? How great would it be to hear a reporter ask that question at one of Ted's pressers?? :lol:

Modified your post and placed it on Ted's blog. We'll see if/when Ted posts that one!

Hold on. Maybe I am Ted.

That piece was very similar to the post I did here. Same day even. Only mine was at 8am so no way that Teds Take was by by then.

But he took the numbers and focused on Nene while mine was focused on how Wall gives them what they are missing. Even if he returns as just what he was before.

Just checked. I can see the post (and it's status is still 'awaiting moderator approval'). I suspect no one else can view the post. Weird.

That's how all my replies have been, too. I can see it, with the "awaiting mod" message, then after a few days it finally disappears.. "Ted's Take: It a BUST" :lol:

If you Wizards fans wouldn't mind, how about venturing over to the Bucks board and weighing in on this thread?

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1224592&start=45#p34230835

Our owner seems to have a lot in common with Abe. Both upstanding guys who ran an NBA team into the ground in their later years, most likely because they didn't understand the modern NBA at all. So while they slept, smart franchises positioned themselves for much greater success. Our owner, Herb Kohl is 77. I think Abe was 88 when he passed away. We seem to be on the same track here unfortunately. John Hammond will apparently be retained for a sixth year and beyond despite his poor track record (ala Ernie G. )

BTW, it's Ted's birthday today. Same as Elvis and David Bowie.

According to Kelly Dwyer, who writes for Yahoo! -- it's a Leonsis creation.

It's almost as ridiculous as the Apple ad campaign comparing Steve Jobs to Ghandi and MLK

Good lord, what kind of people does Leonsis have around him to green light something like this?

Return to Washington Wizards
