The Onion at its best!

TEMPE, AZ—Claiming he was initially excited at the prospect of playing for a legitimate championship contender, new Phoenix Suns center Shaquille O'Neal admitted Monday that, upon reading about the phenomenon of massive stellar explosions popularly known as supernovas, he is now terrified of the entire organization.

"I have emerged from my astronomical studies a much more educated man, a learned man, and yes—a frightened man. I am now a sage of the supernova," O'Neal said during a combination press conference and PowerPoint presentation at an Arizona State University lecture hall. "If I would have known being a Sun meant being a part of a system where gravity could collapse, causing my radiant celestial body to explode in an event 10 times brighter than an ordinary Phoenix Sun—or worse, dematerialize into a neutron star or possibly a black hole—I would have never agreed to the trade."

Wow. The man has got a pair of brass ones.

Linky Link

"Belichick has said that he misinterpreted the league’s bylaws, telling Goodell that he thought it was permissible to use electronic equipment as long as the information was not used in the same game. That explanation has been greeted with disbelief by some peers and league officials."

Belichick's reply: "I got your disbelief right here."

Fake trade



The fact he gets traded for Kobayashi the Tsunami is easily the best part of it all.

So I was at least 1/2 correct.

We waited until the 2nd half to roll over

I think the news that Miami beat Duke just puts a nice touch on this season.
Go pack!
NIT?
NIT?
NIT?

Since no one will step up to the plate...

I will admit it: We stink.

Not like in a UVa, Miami kind of truly horrible-ness.
More of the soul crushing, just barely good enough to keep your hopes up, yet always destined to disappoint.

I'll Put Odds on State Making it Over UF at this Point

Hey Gators! Way to lose to the #200 RPI team in the country who had a total of one conference win and just fired their coach. Freshmen or not, you don't lose to an 8-14 team.

Bye Bye Big Dance boys!

On the bright side maybe I'll see what the outdoors look like in late March.

That fuzzy feeling was most likely herpes

Dont tell the fiancee' about our weekend in Haiti.

BTW, almost as a replay from several years ago, Pack vs. Texas in the NCAA maybe Sweet 16, I naively thought "There is no way in Hell they can keep shooting this hot!"

Wrong.

I'm Getting that Fuzzy Feeling

It happens halfway through every basketball/football season in the ACC. I get that warm, fuzzy feeling becase, evne though we're 6th in the ACC, we control our own destiny in a series of winnable games and would end up 2nd in the ACC. Who is ahead of us? Duke(8-0), UNC (6-3), Maryland (5-3), Clemson (4-3), and Virginia Tech (5-4). Who are our next four games against? Maryland, BC, Clemson, and UNC. If we win them all and UNC loses one more, then we're second in the ACC at 8-4.

That warm, fuzzy feeeling inevitably turns to disgust when we're 7-9 and I wonder how we got there.

Then the warm, fuzzy feeling returns when we're in the ACC finals. Then we lose to Duke or UNC and play in the NIT.

What. The. Fuck.

Shaq for Shawn Marion and a bag of Baked Lays? Shaq's still in the league? He can't run, can he? The Suns still run, don't they? What kind of fucking doofus decides this is the trade that's going to get you to the Finals? Goddamnit.

HFS. Bob Knight has quit at TT.

Wow.

Biggest question: Will Sweet Dee's dad redo his "Shrine to Bob" /slash/ bathroom ?

the only lead that matters is the one in the last 0.2 seconds, eh?

not pretty, but I'll take it!

My Super Duper parlay

1) Giants beat the spread (+12)
2) Under (54)
3) >2 interceptions
4) <2 fumbles
5) <4 sacks
6) Most points in the 1st half
7) Pats snap last from scrimmage
8) First score is anything but a TD from scrimmage or fieldgoal
9) NCSU Covers (-3)
10) UNC covers (-12)

800 to 1 odds.
Wish me luck

I also have $20 for the Sidekick , Pats cover (-12)
