Remember the days when we wondered whether he would average a triple-double for a season? Long gone. Honestly, I liked watching him more as a rookie. This is right up there with Lindsay Lohan losing her boobs in my book -- it's a borderline national tragedy. I can't talk about this anymore, I'm getting up.
No, you are not.

And I don't know. I watch a fair amount of Cavaliers games, and I haven't noticed an appreciable difference in his game, other than he has really improved his outside shot, and his defense is getting better. I haven't followed the numbers, and this may sound a bit counter-intuitive, but he might be putting up more shots because the team around him is better, and he's getting more looks/fewer guys collapsing in on him as a result. Like I said, I'm haven't followed his numbers, but I bet his shooting percentage is probably up significantly from the last couple of years.

It wouldn't be so bad if you had some mountains or something to ski on. Instead, all you have are decrepit rust-belt relics...

I love this part:

"I even married this clueless girl from Connecticut—loves shopping and everything—and we have two ironic kids. I swear, they look like something out of a creepy 1950s Dick And Jane reader—I even have these hilarious silver-framed pictures of them in my cheesy corner office. But still, the humor is lost on everybody but me."

PLF has been gone for a week, and suddenly new posters? Maybe his plan was flawed? Maybe he was the problem, not the solution?

Apropos of nothing, until I came across the movie on cable earlier this week, I did not realize that Pedro Cerrano was played by President David Palmer, the Allstate shill guy.

Welcome.
