Yeah, that Q knocked him off of his canned responses. No surprise that Tomas remains stashed, Jan won't be needing a buddy on the team if we are successful in moving him.


Did he think that we would just... forget? LIke we forgot about JCN?

I forgot about him. I forgot about that other guy, too. First name starts with "E"? Elvis?

I always assumed EG was Italian - that's an Italian looking mustache - and face. But he was born in Romania and move to the US with his parents when he was 9. And he's Jewish. Who knew?

Ernie is actually Latverian, having briefly interend with the Bureau of Oblique Disclosures And Contractual Largess under the second Victor Von Doom administration.


I hear Ernie will be a major character in "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Malevolent Mustache." The Mustache lets loose a black hole-like force called Baltche that the Four have to stop before it consumes all the Chipotle, strippers, and salary cap space on earth.

Ernie seems like a man who appreciates a good mustache. Part of Vesely's problem getting playing time here is that he looks like the type who can't grow a mustache.

Otto Porter has a classy, Langston Hughes-esque mustache while Anthony Bennett usually goes clean shaven. Just saying.

But if Alex Len shows up in the green room suddenly wearing a mustache, you know who our pick is going to be.

It would be interesting/scary to see EG's stache photoshopped on Len. My guess is if Ernie ran a comb through that thing, all kinds of stuff would fall out.

Ernie's mustache is probably one of the places Stern refers to when he says "I know where the bodies are buried..."
