Forgive me folks, this is barely food related, and I doubt any of the frequent visitors to this site will care a lick about this post, but…
I swore off the NBA after the Suns clearly demonstrated that the NBA was not only fixed, but fixed by idiots. Yet, here I am, on my day off, waiting for the NBA draft to start. I’m about to lose a $5 bet with a dear friend, but she doesn’t read this, so perhaps I can save my scant dollars until she presses the issue.
Oden. I should be excited, but I’m not. why? First of all, I’m a Suns Fan. I want KG and Nash with the Brazilian Vapor. Everyone else on the Suns is expendable.
Honestly, I can’t believe I’m watching this draft. I’ve never cared about sports this much. Oh, it’s because the MLS game on ESPN2 is on rain delay. I forgot.
the draft has also demonstrated to me the sheer volume of bored, athletically untalented people haunting the interwebs (like me). Here’s a nice reaction from the blogosphere from the Draft (truehoop):
“6 Milwaukee Brian yaysports.com
Prediction: The Bucks should take Yi Jianlian, a player whom I have never consciously nor specifically watched, and cannot be even sure exists, and who will not go to MIL, and not only that, but I heard that he writes run-on sentences that go on and on without ever saying anything, and after people read them they think “why did I let this jerk into my ESPN DOT COM thing that I’m doing when I know he’s an idiot,” and then they also think during the end of the run-on sentence, “I’ll bet he is already starting work on his sentence for the #10 pick for the Kings, who also have a website that says DOT COM and I’ll bet he was the guy who was smart enough to register dotcom DOT COM while not having any idea what to do with it.
Reaction: Who is this tall Spanish person?”
p.s, he’s speaking of this dude:
They’re saying Randolph, Dickau and Jones for Channing Frye and Stevie Franchise. Oh fuck me, Pritchard just lost his street cred with me. Stevie Franchise? gotta be kidding me. At least we didn’t get Stephon “$15 shoes” Marbury, whose younger cousin already burned the Blazers for a lottery pick (unintended pun).
They bought the Suns’ pick to get Freddy Rodriguez. I’m now officially torn. The suns are sitting on their hands to the benefit of Portland, and the detriment of my true team.
so confused. also aided by whiskey. you think I was surviving this thing dry? silly fool.
update: Phoeniz just got Alondo Tucker–Marion’s as good as gone. Can we start the I <3 KG party in the Valley of the Sun now? Please? PLLLEEEEEAAASSSSEE Stevie Steve Kerr, don’t let me down. you tipped me so well back in the day. (for food people, for food! dirty minds…)
update 2 It’s official STEVEN A. SMITH IS A GIANT GAPING ASSHOLE
update 3 Don’t worry, Josh McRoberts is going to Greece to play with Trajan Langon. stay calm. Also, the Blazers bought the rights to some weak-ass Finn who was the last pick in the 1st round.
update 4 Steven A. Smith (the giant gaping asshole mentioned above) just told all of PDX that we have no excuse not to support the Blazers. Should we be scared?
I’ll update this if anything else worth mentioning happens, but if not, it’s obvious I’ve been going to a lot of sporting events (holler ‘atcha boy if you’re goin to a Timbers game!), betwixt long shifts in a production kitchen that shall, for reasons that should be obvious, remain nameless. buy me a drink and I’ll spin yarns of catering jobs awry and unliekly kitchen injuries. I’ve been eating out a bit, with a few write-ups on the way.
Thank you.
