See, you already know what it feels like to bang that guy out, so you can be friends. If you haven't either done it or both decided not to do it, there's still some chance that you're going to have too many Bud Ices and have some slap and tickle. Then, you're not friends; one of you is a prospect.

I thought it just reinforced that you were a ho.

You have now subjected the board to 350 more days of cross-posts from ESPN, CNN, MSNBC, etc. attempting to prove your nomination premature. Thanks!

Friendship

The SFC had a best woman at our wedding. She wore a bridesmaid dress, but if I had to do it over again, I'd just have her wear a little black dress. And not just because of how her bridesmaid dress turned out*; I think it might have been nice for her to have more difference from the bridesmaids than just the ribbon on her bouquet.

tm

*Gwinky, you'll appreciate this. The dresses were made, not bought. When she was talking to her seamstress, she just told her her off-the-rack clothing size, instead of giving her her actual measurements. BAD mistake. They spent the day before the wedding frantically re-making the dress with close-to-zero seam allowances, and it still was a bit tight.

In other coaching news, the Monsters of the Midway just hired a guy named Lovie (Rams defensive coordinator Lovie Smith) as their head coach...



Better than ex-coach Gilligan, I suppose...

Yeah! "What she said."

Yes, my sarcasm alert is fully functional. But hey, my drivel caused Leagl to gag and TM to yell at Atticus instead of me for a change, so I consider today a victory.

So will Marbury ask him if he ever played the game?

If this is something you do in your male/male platonic friendships, I'm thinking you have some issues you haven't fully come to terms with yet.

place holder/teacher while they build a team. Zeke sees himself being the one pulling Marbury out in the last minute, game iced by brillant coaching, and to thundering applause in the Championship game 2006, maybe 07.

That, or he's one of Sebby's frat brothers. Not the cat with the bottle trick; he would have told us if that were the case. I'm guessing he's stuck-in-the-zipper cat.

As a follower of the game, not that I really have an NBA rooting interest or anything, I personally have seen nothing from Isiah off the court that leads me to believe that he knows much about coaching or building a championship-caliber NBA franchise.

I know the situation with the Knicks has been bad for a number of years, but if people think Isiah's the savior of the team, I've got news for them. I just don't see it happening.

I would agree. Except, every general manager who has yet to win a championship is in the same exact position. What makes you so dead set on thinking he will be unsuccessful?
