It's Friday and I figured that the majority of the 5-8 people who read this blog were (like me) engaged in some combination of drinking, watching basketball, and boozing it up last night. With that in mind, I decided that I'd put together a post of some articles that I've read and found (at least) mildy interesting throughout the last couple of days. If I'm not planning on doing any work this afternoon (I'm not), the least I can do is pass thegood times on to you. Consider this my gift to your tired/hungover body.
- Chad Ford pissed me off earlier this year when he was proclaiming that Al Horford was being viewed as a lottery pick by most scouts. Can't Ford just stick to finding the next great Euro?
- Of course, NBA scouts are all a bunch of lemmings anyway. How else can you explain this guy lasting until the late second round?
- While I'm on the subject of the NBA, I might as well link to this article about J.R. "Isaiah for the Ladies" Rider. The way things are going for JR these days, you might want to keep an eye out form him at the 2006 World Series of Dice.
- Who would've ever guessed that Kendall Gill's post NBA career would end up being nearly as bizarre as that of Mr. Rider? Certainly not me. Between his classic performance on MTV Cribs a couple years back, his unveiling of the KBC (Kendall's Boys Club) during that episode and his latest career path, it's been a rather strange few years for the former #5 pick in the draft. I hope that George Karl knows the blood is on his hands here.
- As great as the weekend of basketball ahead of us promises to be, there is no denying that this is going to be (far and away) the highlight of my weekend.
- Speaking of highlights, many thought that Xavier Carter was going to be one of the highlights on LSU's 2003 recruting class. It now looks as if his career with the Tigers may be over before it's really ever begun.
-While many Gator fans were heartborken over losing out on Carter, there may have been a full sclae riot had Tim Tebow committed to anyone other than Urban Meyer. Check out the note about Tebow's first day in the weight room at UF near the bottom of this article.
- Dis Vince Young steal a couple of plates of ribs from Jason Whitlock at some point in the past? That's the only logical explanation that I can think of for this?
Finally, I'm going to rent my next car from Avis just to show my appreciation.

I'm still stuck at work today asshole...watching games on espn.com. You and Jerry and you're "working" from home can suck it.
By the way, I want X-Pac to come out of the crowd tonight and pummel Carl Krauser for trying to steal and/or modify the DX "X" chop...
X-Pac is too busy trying to win back China's love to bother with Carl Krauser. I'd bet some Bronx residents would take umbrage with your assumption that X-Pac and DX invented the "X" chop.
By the way, nobody (this side of Alonzo Mourning) mugs more than Krauser.
Jerry couldn't agree with you more on Krauser and the mugging (for the camera, as opposed to the time he mugged an old lady in the Bronx)...and it's Chyna with a "y" by the way.
"the time he mugged an old lady in the Bronx"? I think you might want to be more specific.
I made it up...though he strikes me as a guy who would mug old ladies.
I just figured that he had mugged multiple old ladies and was looking for a little more detail in order to clarify which instance to which you were referring.
I still say the downfall of Isaiah Rider was going by Isaiah instead of JR. He was JR all through college and that seemed to work fine. All of a sudden he changes to Isaiah and everything goes wrong. Its like a Jekyl and Hyde situation.
I'm sure that they kept real close tabs on JR at UNLV. There's certainly no way that the coaches and administration would've turned their collective heads away from JR's various (and likely numerous) misdeeds off the court. No way, not at an institution of higher learning like the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
What do you figure is the dropout rate at UNLV? Weren't they just setting kids up to fail by putting a state universiy there?
It's got to be higher than your average community college and that is certainly saying something. My Dad would've sooner let me go into porn than willingly pay for me to enroll at UNLV.
I've got a pick'em set up on Yahoo. The league ID# is 66506 and the password is nobrevard. $10 per entry
The main problem was that I forgot about Phelps so I moved McInnis up a couple years and put him with Lynch and Donald Williams, which is quite obviously not right. Curse of a foggy memory and lack of fact checking, I am properly chastised. Truth is, after they lost in 2nd round in '95 I guess it was, I've largely written the Stackhouse/Wallace years out of my memory.
Completely understandable. I believe Dean Smith had an operation to do the exact same thing.
Phelps= Worst Jumpshot Ever.
True enough, which makes him all the better inclusion in my comparison of unbelievability, of course you could also use Rodl or Calabria or Salvadori from that '93 team, of course, I loved Dante Calabria, so I would never denigrate him like that.
I always wished I could've witnessed 'Sheed making Salvadori his personal bitch in practice that year. You just know that he was busting Salvadori's ass, all the while alternatley talking shit and complaining b/c he had to come off the bench behind that big italian stiff.
