are they working their way backwards to Jim Lynham? Is this Ouroboros?

Gar Heard is fine-tuning his resume.

Needed to get rid of these.

I heart Antawn more than ever after watching him execute his role in "operation Cavotage" so perfectly.

I'd bet good money that he also cheers for Dallas and NY Yankees. I once broke up with a girl because she was a big Dallas fan.

I don't mind so much when they actually come from Texas or NYC, or went to Duke, etc. I also don't mind so much if they're true fans of the game appreciating the superior execution of a top team. But I really can't stand people that latch on to winners they have no connection to, just to dip their toe into the penumbra of a glory that is not theirs. Drink cadgers. Nothing but.

How old is too old to have a kid in a stroller? This morning, I saw a child in a stroller, and by child I mean he looked to be 9 years old. His feet were dragging on the pavement, and I'm pretty sure he had a cigarette in his mouth. Or it could have been a lollipop. Not sure. I didn't have my glasses on.

Was it Earl Boykins?

That reminds me of old Warner Brothers cartoons where dwarfs with 5 O'Clock shadows and cigars hanging out of their mouths would dress up like babies to pull off jobs or hide from the law (an idea reprised in a Wayans brothers movie).

I have a very good friend, native NYer, loves the Yankees. He's not a bad
person, it's just where he lives.

Don't know anyone that I can think of from DAL. But, sorry Cramer, if you're not
from there....I rooted for Duke when Grant Hill was there.

Anybody else see Onyewu ASKED to play a year for free with AC Milan after he spent last year injured and unable to play? Talk about something you don't see every day.

Sounds just eccentric enough for Gil to do it next. Right, Gil???

So the Cavaliers, Warriors and Jazz are all getting new uniforms next season.

Why is it that the team that actually NEEDS new uniforms never gets them?

We need a new name before we need uniforms.

Well, the Cavs are about to lose LeBron so new unis would simulateously be part of their pitch to keep him and also a reason to keep their fans interested should he leave. And GSW is for sale, so new unis would be part of the new ownership's marketing campaign to make thier money back.

Not sure about Utah, though. I actually like what they currently wear.

Damn! Beyonce and her back-up singers were at the 18th St. Lounge last night. The back-up singers got-up and and did some impromtu singing, it was EPIC!
