Re Gil @ the Reston Y

I have an inside informer who has said he'll call me
when he sees him

My daughter, who has now forgiven Gil for his foolishness,
will be thrilled if she ever does get to meet him.

A PI huh? Did he look like Gil? Could this be a case of Clark Kent and Superman?

OR the neighbor kid work the card swipe station. either or...

I think this blurb from the ESPN power rankings today pretty much sums up how pathetic our point guard play is right now: Just depressing.

"It's been that kind of season in the nation's capital: Gilbert Arenas has played in a mere 32 of 59 games, last suited up for the Wiz on Jan. 5 ... and still leads this not-so-pass-happy squad in total assists with 230."

re NBA franchise evaluations

are these 2 teams/situations analogous at all? I don't know, just askin'.

the Wiz include the Phone Booth which Ted needs badly. Also DC has
to be a bigger market than Charlotte.

that said, if the earlier numbers of $500-600M (for the Wiz), were accurate, I'm
guessing the CHA figure CAN'T include an arena too.

WSE also includes the cash cow of the local ticketmaster franchise.

I guess DeShawn voted for the Cavs. Not a bad sign that the Wizards did not make the list. That may be a sign that most players think the Wizards are heading in the right direction.

Or maybe it's just that we're so irrelevant, guys forgot we even exist.

I guess they might agree with Barkley that the Wizards should not be considered part of the NBA.

good point -

not to cast aspersions (sp?) on the Pollins but I always felt like the
ticketmaster biz was such a racket that it was probably mob run.

I had forgotten that WSE owns that biz.

The voting (including 1 vote each for the Cavs and the Pacers) adds up to 84%; unless they have "don't know" and/or "undecided" categories totaling 16%, they're leaving teams off. In the original article, they mention that the Hawks got two votes.

The press might not care enough to mention the Wizards, but the players that have to face us know better. You can be sure we got some votes.

Here.

There's 20 five-second films, and it still clocks in at well over three minutes. The studio should have stepped in.

Totally funny.
