You are the most dedicated Adrian Dantley beat writer of all time, Dave McKenna.

Butler pretty damn well shut Harden down in the second half tonight. The entire Bulls defense came on strong in the fourth quarter, but Butler was mainly responsible in making Harden miss his final nine shots of the game. That and Kirk Hinrich, who has a crazy awesome old man game.

It's always sad when a team's only Pro-Bowler is its right guard.

I partly agree. I guess I just get too annoyed by using catchphrases to comprise half of what is said during a broadcast. I like that he brings more excitement than the aging Red Kerr was able to (although Kerr will always be my favorite sports homer).

In Chicago we have Hawk Harrelson and Stacey King. At first, King was this cool talking guy with clever phrases and nicknames. That was like eight years ago now, and it's gotten much worse. Any time Derrick Rose does anything positive, viewers are blessed with a "OH STOP IT!"

I don't get the joke

Everything you've said is true, as is the same with the OP, which is why this Bears team is hilariously inept.

Scandrick was actually doing the child a favor by teaching him that you don't always win your battles.

This is a common reference in relation to WAR, as in "four wins above replacement." Most good pitchers are considered four-win pitchers, while aces like Felix, Sale, Kershaw, etc. are considered five-win pitchers or even better.

To be more clear, I loved White Buffalo's LPs and early albums and do not know much of his newer stuff other than his SOA songs. I just haven't gotten around to it at this point, but now he is actually really popular so it must still be pretty good.

I hated the music from SOA, but before the show even became what it is I was a fan of the White Buffalo, so I just pretended that the songs he collaborated on were good...they were not.

Not Bill Walton?

I see 11 Bethune players, but only 10 A& M players.

You see 11 Florida A&M players?

It will end badly if you count not winning the NBA title bad.

Holy shit. That movie made a worldwide profit of $200 million? Damn religion.

Reader John must not realize that Cincinnati has the worst rushing defense of all four teams he had listed.
