MY NAME'S AL HARRINGTON. I GET BUCKETS.

Simmons on Twitter tonight early in the game: "It's too bad Rajon Rondo couldn't make it tonight."

I hate the Celtics, but their PA guy is awesome. "KAYYYYYYYYY. GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE." And he doesn't force kids to watch him jerk it.

Isn't it the worst that we had NBA Playoff open threads last year and not this year?

His entire analysis of these playoffs have been pathetic.

And that's coming from a Binghamton guy! That definitely helps knowing someone from the world's most depressing place saw things work out. Thanks a lot to you and V8. The restaurant I work at told me they'd work me 6 days a week to make ends meet, and I have ins with a couple of blogs dedicated to AE Hoops, so I'll at…

There's also the fact that the +1 has already been said to hurt one's "ranking," so to speak, in this system. So if you give a +1, you are less likely to be featured, which will make some less likely to give credit where it is due for a good joke.

I can say that in my time here I have never seen so many [ESPN.com] quality comments than I have recently. That's obviously a product of how much more popular the site is than it was a few years ago, but without the system that is in place now that filters out a lot of that terrible stuff, what's to say that a giant…

We all want Heat/Thunder, but I'd rather see the Spurs than the Lakers. I hate Kobe more than every dictator who has ever dictated.

Drew's Graduation Speech DUAN:

That matchup sounds so tantalizing, which means that the Spurs will surely fuck it up for all of us.

NBA Playoffs DUAN: No open threads anymore, but that's fine. Is anybody else getting the feeling that the Heat are looking better and better to win the title every day? The East has become a joke with the losses of Rose/Howard. The Pacers have to do better than Danny Granger, and the Celtics somehow are the only other…

What kind of shit is this? DUAN:

Naturally subscribers were perplexed by the mid-game blackout. However, when the screen flashed the message "Send $2,100 to the Executive VP of MLB, Nilesh, to see the rest of the game," the reason should have been clear.

Can't argue with that. He needs to go so this team can really utilize its firepower.

No way Bayern loses a home match. As for you Joey Barton, fuck off. City is going to destroy Newcastle and cruise to the title. It is time for the noisy neighbours to finally live in the mansion. New world order! BLUE WORLD ORDER.

"If you ever meet Skip, you'll wind up loving him."

"Holy Crap, Jeremy Affeldt's Son Is Huge"

Ladies and gentlemen, Trent Dilfer picking his nose during today's coverage of the NFL Draft. Fantastic.

Also a concern of mine: no more public neck snappings according to Craggs earlier today. What is the fucking point anymore? Half the fun was the thrill of hoping the ninjas didn't swoop down on my particularly shitty comments.
