Miller comes out and says what everyone knows, superstars get favorable calls. Here's my question: Is it good for the game to give superstars the calls? Seriously, if Michael Jordan hadn't gotten all those calls, wouldn't he still have six championships? I suspect Stern has made a conscious decision -- calling the games fair makes the hardcore fans happy, pumping up the stats of superstars (Gilbert being the notable exception) makes the bandwagon fans happy. Guess which fans he's going after?
Help us, Obi-wan Leonsis. You're our only hope.

Speaking of Jordan, I notice the Bobcats are on a win streak and they just beat the Magic.

Charlotte plays sick defense. They could be tough in the playoffs.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

Dream big!

A New Jersey woman, who now tips the scales at 604 pounds, said it’d be a "fantasy" to gobble her way to fame and someday weigh 1,000 pounds.

<snip>

It’s such a hefty task, that Simpson would have to consume Jets coach Rex Ryan — 350 pounds before his stomach-staple surgery this past weekend — just to get close.

I guess that's better than going on a shooting spree to get famous. She can be on The Biggest Gainer.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I realized it was a loop. It lasts forever, it keeps on giving. Sublime.

Guys, is there any interest in going to Vegas June 23-25? I'm going to be there and would hate to be the only Wizards fan from Real GM representing. All the details are on the General Off-Topic board.

Is that for the Summer League? Or just a regular Vegas trip?

DelaneyRudd, I believe is a mod on the Jazz board and he's the one that is getting it all together. The plan is to watch the draft in one of the convention rooms, and all that good stuff. This is basically going to be one of those trips where posters from RealGM will meet each other.

I would have surely done this but I have no money to spare on leisure trips. Sucks... sounds like a great idea.

Oh, it's in June. I thought you said July, which is why I thought about Summer League. Either way, the software project I'm working on at work deploys that week and I gotta be there. Maybe next year.

I coulda sworn I posted that the Pollins and Ted should just
say $550M and call it a day. But I can't find the post.

I would have done the job for cheap, like lifetime seats maybe.

A lot of what we call 'thought' is just mental activity
