Did I mention when he flew to the rim for the slam, and decided instead to shot the reverse. As I type another boomshakala layup. This one was actually a good move.<br /><br />If he makes me sign on and write more, I'm gonna be pissed.The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-3314245683985170852008-07-15T07:28:00.000-07:002008-07-15T08:11:40.347-07:00The Blatchmanian Devil<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zEvvYAt6Sxs/SHy7AYI_8wI/AAAAAAAAAXg/ggd9E7OqFhI/s1600-h/blatchmanian.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223255282997523202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zEvvYAt6Sxs/SHy7AYI_8wI/AAAAAAAAAXg/ggd9E7OqFhI/s320/blatchmanian.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_zEvvYAt6Sxs/SHy6zOxtmdI/AAAAAAAAAXY/9Asv8-RcG1o/s1600-h/blatchmanian.jpg"></a></div><br /><p>Yesterday, in Las Vegas, there was another Blatchmanian Devil sighting. This photo was taken at the Summer League game between the Washington Wizards and the Portland Trailblazers at the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0646351/">Alex Mack</a> center.</p><p>The creature was seen taking the basketball and spinning around and around towards the basket, limbs flying everywhere, picking up foul after foul and travel after travel. If it was NFL Blitz, he would automatically fumble the ball.</p><p>If you see him, do not be afraid. Any slight nick, scratch, or bump, will put him on the floor, and he will begin whining. Sometimes you may even see a tear in his eye. Just give him a soft elbow to the chest and he will go from a 7 foot beast to a tiny child. This should stun him for up to 10 minutes.</p><p>This web site will keep a look out for more photos of this spin crazy creature...</p>The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-27736336657933161762008-07-15T07:12:00.000-07:002008-07-15T07:13:29.238-07:00Favre<embed id="mediumFlashEmbedded" name="undefined" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="http://foxnews1.a.mms.mavenapps.net/mms/rt/1/site/foxnews1-foxnews-pub01-live/current/videolandingpage/fncLargePlayer/client/embedded/embedded.swf" width="305" height="275" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#000000" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" quality="high" play="false" scale="noscale" menu="false" salign="LT" scriptaccess="always" wmode="false" flashvars="playerId=videolandingpage&amp;referralObject=2314390&amp;referralPlaylistId=playlist"></embed>The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-87923542154109163842008-07-03T19:26:00.000-07:002008-07-03T19:27:54.870-07:00GILBERT IS BACKArenas just re-signed with the Wiz<br /><br />He's no John Olsen from DC United, but he is Gilbert and he is back!<br /><br />Am I back?<br /><br />....i dunnoThe White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-56519563635958450512008-05-02T09:54:00.001-07:002008-05-02T09:58:03.590-07:00Songaila SuspendedDaruis Songaila has been suspended for game 6 of the Wizards vs Cavs series. <br /><br />Sometimes it looks like he did it on purpose, sometimes it looks like an accident.

If you knew the system, you could get dropped off a block before your destination to save some flow. If you didn't know the system, or looked like a tourist, or were leaving Adams Morgan drunk at 3am, cab drivers would just make up random prices to charge. (if you could even get in a cab)<br /><br />The cab drivers do not like this change, and <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/25/AR2008042501915.html?nav=rss_email/components">they appealed</a> and complained and some will probably refuse to do it. (ooooh they could <a href="http://www.nbc4.com/traffic/15953775/detail.html">get a ticket</a> if caught) There will even be "taxi police" to inspect cabs &amp; meters.<br /><br />Eventually we will forget about the old ways, if we even knew them in the first place. Just remember that when you take a cab to Georgetown after the Wizards beat the Cavs on Friday, you will be paying by the 1/6 mile.The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-18590877193424466032008-04-30T17:52:00.000-07:002008-04-30T17:58:27.048-07:00Hawks or Celtics<span style="font-weight: bold;">If you are a Wizards fan, who do you root for?</span><br /><br />If the Celtics win and the Wizards win, you have a tough matchup.<br /><br />If the Hawks win and the Cavs win, the hated Cavs get an easy pass.<br /><br />If the Celtics win and the Cavs win, the hated Cavs will get swept.<br /><br />If the Hawks win and the Wizards win...I like the sound of that<br /><br />Do you go for the underdog?

How do you play this game? Simple. If you can drink a 6 pack before the confetti comes streaming down from the rafters in Cleveland, you lose. So how do you win? You don't. Washington never wins, so you never win.<br /><br />Just when I figured being 26 and living in the parents basement couldn't get any worse. I have to watch this damn game. Tonights 6pm start and impending doom have forced me to stop at the local supermarket for a Philadelphia 7-6 pack of brews. Arenas is out for the "year". Who cares. Its still 15 minutes to tip and I'm on brew #2. <br /><br />Instead of going down full of hope and with heart, I plan to also "shut it down" for the season and finish the year in a depressing drunken stupor that may end with me sobbing as I fall asleep. At this point, I feel like the $16 I save if the Wizards don't win is worth more to me than the chance to watch the Wizards get eliminated at home where I have to commute to the game. Gas prices are too high.<br /><br />I should have sold my collection of Arenas jerseys months ago. Now, when he is on a new team next year (injured) these jerseys will be worthless. They will have to go in the box in the basement with my Alonzo Mourning Dream Team II jersey, my Grant Hill jersey, and my Jamal Magloire Hornets jersey. <br /><br />Note:The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-44175460502335990542008-04-30T08:04:00.001-07:002008-04-30T08:46:32.431-07:00Deshawn's Statement<em>At least he didn't dress like Bin Laden...</em><br /><br />I kinda understand why DeShawn Stevenson would wear a <a href="http://misterirrelevant.com/index.php/2008/04/30/deshawn-is-a-big-animal-rights-guy/">Michael Vick jersey</a>. He is not condoning dog fighting. He is not showing love for Mike Vick. He is making a statement. It's satire. Or irony. Or something.<br /><br />DeShawn is comparing how everyone hates him, to how everyone hates Mike Vick. He is such a "terrible" guy, just like Vick. Its him against the world. Just like Vick. He is all alone, Nobody loves him, its true...At least not like I do...Just like Vick, he was the face of the franchi...oh wait.<br /><br />The problem with his idea is that Mike Vick was FAIRLY hated, while DeShawn thinks he is UNFAIRLY hated. And when someone is fairly hated, it means they have done something terrible, awful, etc, and you probably don't want to put yourself anywhere close to them.<br /><br />Here is an example<br /><br />Fairly Hated<br />--Hitler<br />--Stalin<br />--The Devil<br />--Sox/Yanks<br />--Pink Shirts<br />--Michael Vick<br /><br />Unfairly Hated<br />--People of other races, religions, etc<br />--Yoko Ono?<br />--The Spurs (no they really should be up top)<br />--The thong song<br />--White Socks with Black Shoes<br />--DeShawn Stevenson (according to him)<br /><br />This tells me that if DeShawn had a choice of Dressing up with devil horns, a toothbrush mustache, wearing a pink Yankees jersey, screaming Heil! OR carrying around a yoko ono album, wearing dress shoes w/ white socks, and a Spurs jersey, screaming "equal rights", He would choose the first.The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-67328205114420280542008-04-30T06:54:00.001-07:002008-05-02T07:36:49.586-07:00The Eddie Jordan Offense<em>I discovered a document labeled WIZARDS OFFENSIVE PLAYBOOK. Uh my scanner broke, yeah that's the ticket, so I just typed it out...</em><br /><ul><li>Have 2 guys bring the ball up the court. Have them make at least 3 passes before crossing the timeline. Make sure at least one of these passes is either close to a back court violation, or just an overall sloppy pass.<br /></li><li>Run a 3 man weave type drill, looking for some back door cuts and kill most of the shot clock. It worked in High school and for a non-powerhouse basketball college (Princeton). Im sure the Wizards are as smart as Princeton players.<br /></li><li>Call a play for a specific player. If that player is not open, hold the ball until he gets open. Only look at that player, do not even think about passing it to someone else. After holding the ball for 10 seconds, just force the pass. After all, we have to run the play.<br /></li><li>If the other team is on a run, dribble the ball up court and fire up a 3 pointer. Its the only way to come back.<br /></li><li>If there are over 24 seconds left in the quarter, we will NOT go for a 2 for 1 situation. Give the ball to a player at the top of the key, have him wait until the shot clock gets to 4, and try to make something happen in the isolation. Do NOT run any kind of real play. This will leave the other team only 5 or more seconds left to score. That's impossible in the NBA..<em>.(if that is the best way to score in clutch, why not just do that every time...)</em><br /></li><li>If you are on a fast break, do not make a normal bounce pass. Use one hand and look the opposite direction. Try to get it through as many defenders as possible.<br /></li><li>Big men, you are just tall guards. Shoot reverse layups, bring the ball down court on the fast break, try to make some nice one on one street ball moves.<br /></li><li>IMPORTANT: If you get a steal, you must make something happen. Do NOT slow down the ball no matter what.

The game will be played at 6pm.<br /><br />That is the worst time slot ever. It is not a rerun of Everybody Loves Raymond, it is the NBA Playoffs. Many people are still at work or driving home from it. If my car breaks down today after work, I will potentially miss the entire first half. <br /><br />Would this game be at 6pm if it was a home game in Washington DC? Crowds don't usually filter into the V-Center until after the game starts, at that is when start time is 7pm. I would expect the arena would be fairly quiet at 6 and not a playoff atmosphere. <strong>Hurting a teams home court advantage for TV purposes?</strong> I would be so upset if the Wiz were at home. I'd demand my $16 back! How do the people in Cleveland feel about this, or do they have no problem?<br /><br /><em><a href="http://deadspin.com/385169/today-in-nsfw-theater-the-lee-elia-rant-is-25-years-old">Eighty-five percent</a> of the $%#@! world is working. The other fifteen (Clevlanders?) come out here. A $%^&amp;ing playground for the %&amp;*#suckers.</em><br /><br />The only positive I see is that starting to drink at 6pm is great because it means I will fall asleep (pass out) an extra hour or 2 earlier than if the game was at a normal time. This means I may even arrive on time to work the next day.<br /><br />There isn't even a west coast game tonight. There are 2 games. Washington &amp; Boston. Why not just overlap like you have done every single night so far. (anyone have NBA TV?) People can miss the first 10 minutes of the Celtics game to watch the Wizards get eliminated.<br /><br />Ug...see you next year...The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-65694683997731312652008-04-29T18:55:00.000-07:002008-04-29T18:59:26.957-07:00GTA IV Broke My PS3Ignore this post, unless your PS3 also broke from Grand Theft Auto 4...<br /><br />I played Grand Theft Auto IV 4 for about 3 hours and in the middle of a mission the PS3 just shut off. I turned it off and on in the back. It went on for about a second, then turned off again. Now it won't even power up. WTF!<br /><br />It was plugged into a surge protector, and none of the other devices lost power. It was in a well ventalated open area. I didn't touch anything.<br /><br />Internet says it may have overheated, and should work in the morning. I think it is fried.<br /><br />I put it here on this blog because the number 1 way people find this in google is by typing in McLovin. I don't know how that is, but its true. So I'm hoping this will get in google under the title I gave it, and someone can help.The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-20920976295284681072008-04-28T13:31:00.000-07:002008-04-28T13:33:02.668-07:00Some Songs<ul><li><a href="http://realtalkny.rawkus.com/2008/04/topic/artists/jay-z/jay-z-blow-the-whistle-deshawn-stevenson-diss/">Jay Z Dissin D-Shawn</a></li><li><a href="http://www.zshare.net/audio/11202282f72613f0/">Some Dude Dissin Lebron</a></li></ul>The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-25902879065241137042008-04-28T09:39:00.001-07:002008-04-28T10:01:34.229-07:00Fool Me Once, Shame On Me. Fool Me 9 Times, Fire The Coach?Let me start with a question. Does Lebron James land before he passes the ball? He jumps, hangs for a while and seems to land &amp; pass at the same time. Anyways...<br /><br />Im currently eating my free large 1 topping pizza that Gheorge Muresaun helped me get by slamming down the pizza dunk, so I'm feeling pretty upbeat. But I think the game pretty much can be summed up by this:<br /><ul><li>Don't chant "Overrated" when Lebron James has over 30 points and your team is losing by 8 points. Are you f'ing kidding me...<br /></li><li>Lebron shoots. Wizards turn and watch in awe. Lebron misses. Oh crap I should have boxed out instead of looking at the ball. Cavs rebound. <br /></li><li>Lebron drives, Lebron hits Delonte West or Gibson, no one is covering them, they hit a 3. Those two guys hit 9 Three pointers. At what point does Eddie Jordan tell his guys not to leave these shooters open. Was it after 1? No. Was it after 4? No. Was it after 8. I FREAKING WISH! Screw Rotating. Just don't leave your man. <br /></li><li>Gilbert Arenas just runs wherever he wants on D. He leaves his man, he doubles when he doesn't have to, and he forces his teamates to make impossible rotations. If he is in the game, it should be an Offense/Defense substitution scheme. Uh remember the Bucks game?<br /></li><li>What the Hell Is Damon Jones doing. Was he inactive. He didn't warm up with the team, and during huddles he just stood at half court staring at the Wizards bench. Just stood with his arms crossed looking like Puff Daddy. <br /></li><li>Lebron is a bad free throw shooter. Foul him. If Ben Wallace ever touches the ball. Foul him.<br /></li><li>Make Wallace, Ilgauskus, Joe Smith take long jumpers. I bet they miss more than they make. Every time the Wizards run out and overplay them, allowing them to dribble closer to the basket, usually resulting in a foul on the Wiz or a better shooter getting a look instead of a missed 19 foot jumper.<br /></li><li>If you are down 6 with any amount of time over 2 minutes left, DO NOT LAUNCH 3's.<br /></li><li>If you steal the ball or get a rebound. DONT THROW IT OUT OF BOUNDS. WTF!</li></ul>The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-62152043654857856312008-04-26T04:49:00.000-07:002008-04-26T07:27:35.523-07:00That Is So Hurting. Money Hurting!I never listen to the Sports Junkies. I'm not money. I'm not even hurting. (although I am hurting for money) But last night I went to the Spring Break party 2k8 hosted by WJFK. After all when the bill for the event lists "bikini contest" and "lesb kissing contest" I'm pretty much there.<br /><br />The evening started out as usual. We didn't feel like waiting 7 minutes for our friend so we drove without him, making him drive a separate car 7 minutes later. We arrived at the State Theater (hosting the event) 2 1/2 hours early where the line had already started to form. Instead of waiting in line for an hour and a half hoping the doors would open early, we went over to a local pub to get "lagered".<br /><br />After a few (4) colas (chugged beers), we decided to try our chances in the line, which to my disappointment was really long, and winding around the corner. I hadn't seen this many bald men since I went to that Buddhist temple. As I waited in line, loyal listeners talked about how the line was "hurting" and "a show". I felt left out. I questioned my reasoning for waiting in line. I kept saying to myself over and over in my head "bikini contest...lesb kissing contest...bikini contest..."<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"What are you waiting in line for? What famous person is inside? Is this Idol tryouts? Is there a roller coaster in there? Is Chyna giving autographs?"</span><br /><br />After a good half hour in line, we were finally in the door (and noticed that there wasn't even a line anymore). Obviously we were thirsty and needed some quick suds to rejuvenate our spirits. So we waited in line another 30 minutes for 2 Bud Lights each. (It is like that ride at Disney where you wait in line, and when you get to the front of the line , you realize that the ride is a line...or the Reef in Adam's Morgan)<br /><br />Using my patented "beer at all times" method, we drank our 2 beers while waiting in line to buy 2 more beers. Repeat. Soon enough we were feeling it like Blink 182.<br /><br />I was still kinda upset I was wasting my time at this event. After all, I hadn't seen this much sausage since I worked at IHOP. (bikini contest...lesbian kissing contest...) But finally it was the moment I was waiting for. The cover band stopped playing songs from Rock Band and the contests were about to begin. I stared on stage waiting for the first hot girl to come frolicking out. The tension was building. The blood was flowing (somewhere). And then...3 dudes in speedos with poor grooming habits come out. Needless to say I was upset.<br /><br />I let my friend hear it for 30 straight minutes. I called him every name in the book. "If I wanted to wait in line and see junk in banana hammocks, I would have went to Zumanity."<br /><br />As I hollered and fussed something was happening. A crowd started to gather behind me. I raised my voice hoping for the crowd to agree, I noticed that they were not paying attention to me. They were looking on stage. At contestant number 1. MONEY!<br /><br />First was the Lesb Kissing contest which was weak. The girls didn't even kiss. The ones that did were downright nasty. (Muggsy Bogues...1's) HURTING! One contestant wasn't wearing underwear, and this fact was made obvious when she bent over. We have a winner!<br /><br />Next was the Bikini Contest. " " yeah I was pretty much speechless. It was MONEY! When a winner was crowned and the 300 "soldiers" stopped "standing in attention" (I hadn't seen this many erections since I watched that video in Architecture class), beads &amp; shirts were thrust upon the crowd.<br /><br />I used my skills gained from the Verizon T-Shirt Launch (where i pulled in quite a few shirts this year) and started reaching for the stars (if I'd miss I'd still be with the moon...no that's not right) I pulled in about 5 shirts and was quite proud. Yeah I was selfish (no thanks I'm allergic). But I had 8-9 excuses ($50). I had drank enough beer to fill a dump truck...or at least to fill a me.<br /><br />As the evening died down, our buddy's desire to "go steady" with some chicks got stronger. We watched as he used the line I fed him. "Did you pray today? Because I don't want you to have to get on your knees twice in one day" It was not working. Later..."Wait is he making out with a chi....ohhhhh no is that her boyfriend...what the...."<br /><br />So as we got into the cab we didn't call, I thought about the evenings events. I felt like I actually had a pretty good time. I had 5 new shirts that I could wear to the white out. Plus I saw some cans. MONEY!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Note to employer: I did not attend this event. I made it up. Its fiction. Or non-fiction. Whichever means its false.</span>The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-86865233345633219672008-04-25T12:55:00.000-07:002008-05-02T07:36:49.589-07:00Great Call Ref You Suck!<em>Here are some thoughts from the Upper Deck. I don't know about you, but this is how I feel. If you are a Cavs fan just flip it.</em><br /><br />Ref calls a foul on the Wizards: "Let them play ref! This Isn't The WNBA!"<br />Ref calls a foul on the Cavs: "Great Call Ref, He's been doing it all night!"<br /><br />Ref misses a call on the Wizards: "Good No-Call Ref"<br />Ref misses a call on the Cavs: "You suck ref! He can't do that! I'll eat your children!"<br /><br />Haywood puts Lebron on the floor: "He barely touched him!"<br />Lebron puts Haywood on the floor: "Throw him out of the game! He's a dirty player!"<br /><br />Blatch fouls Wallace on the layup: "Clean block Ref!"<br />Wallace fouls Blatch on the layup: "Flagrant! Get that guy out of there!"<br /><br />Butler drives to the basket: "Foul...Foul... FOUL!!!!!!!"<br />West drives to the basket: "Travel...Travel...TRAVEL!!!!!!!"<br /><br />Daniels guarded tight by Gibson: "Handcheck!"<br />Gibson guarded tight by Daniels: "Push Off!"<br /><br />Jamison misses a jumper: "Foul!"<br />Varejo misses a jumper: "No Foul!"<br /><br />Arenas clearly hits a shot before the buzzer: "Dagger!"<br />Lebron clearly hits a shot before the buzzer: "NO BASKET!"<br /><br />Haywood &amp; Jones are tied up for 3 seconds: "Jump Ball!"<br />Ilgauskus &amp; Mason are tied up for 3 seconds: "Time Out!"<br /><br />Stevenson steps on the baseline: "What are you blind!"<br />Wally steps on the baseline: "Great vision ref!"<br /><br />Jamison argues with the ref: "Let him vent ref!"<br />Wallace argues with the ref: "T Him Up!!!!"<br /><br />Butler gets bowled over: "CHARGE!"<br />West gets bowled over: "BLOCK!"<br /><br />Arenas gets a block call under the basket: "He was outside the circle!"<br />Lebron gets a charge call under the basket: "He was inside the circle!"<br /><br />Any foul on the Wiz: "He didn't touch him!"<br />Any foul on the Cavs: "He murdered him!"The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-87329920517206855232008-04-25T07:47:00.000-07:002008-04-25T08:14:38.865-07:00Pizza Shot GuysEvery once and a while, the Wizards have a promotion where a fan comes onto the court to attempt a 3 point basket. If he makes the shot, the whole crowd gets a free pizza. Last season I cashed in on an estimated THREE free pizzas. Plus I got the coupons from my friend, giving me lunch &amp; dinner pizza each time. This was key because I had no money to purchase food.<br /><br />This year ZERO people have made the shot. The people who did attempt it should be ashamed of themselves as I don't recall one shot even going close to getting in. I know you "shouldn't judge a book by its cover" (except harry potter, cuz that cover is sweet), but I can tell as soon as I see the clown they trot out there, that I will not be eating food the next day.<br /><br />There are several varieties of "Pizza Shot Bums" and we have seen them all this year.<br /><br /><strong>Hat Guy:</strong> This guy comes out with a baseball hat on. You know this guy is a bum right away because he is one of 5 fans wearing a baseball hat in the whole arena. Now does this guy remove his hat for his jumper? NO! Why Not? Because he is a bum! I scream "take your hat off" but to no avail. He doesn't even turn his hat backwards. Sure enough, he airs it. And what else could I expect, he can't even see the rim.<br /><br /><strong>Collered Shirt Guy:</strong> This guy comes out to the court wearing his free Papa John's shirt OVER his long sleeve dress shirt. The sleeves are going to affect him, he has the option of wearing a t-shirt, but he chooses to make me want to vomit. He looks like a jackass wearing a t shirt over a collered shirt, but i guess he finds it less embarassing than showing his disgustingly girly body. I scream "take off your damn work shirt" but to no avail. He fires up a weak airball. Soup Kitchen for me tommorow!<br /><br /><strong>Bad Dribble Guy:</strong> This guy comes out wearing the proper attire. Pizza begins to enter my mind. Then he is handed the ball and takes a dribble, usually through the legs to impress the crowd. I don't know if you have ever seen a terrible player try to dribble between his legs but it is disgusting. He almost loses all chance to have babies. He grabs the ball with 2 hands, drops it on the floor, jumps over the ball, and picks it up when it bounces up. He can't even dribble twice. I don't even watch, but the crowd tells me that unintentional bulemia is in my future.<br /><br /><strong>Trash Talk Guy:</strong> This guy comes out like he just won the NBA championship before he even fires up a shot. He waves his hands in the air and attempts to grab the mic from Styles and screams some nonsense about loving Gilbert and being great. This is the guy that airs it the worst. I think it is safe to say that this guy will never see jugs unless he ponies up some dough.<br /><br /><strong>Haircut Guy:</strong> This guy does not have a basketball haircut. Some kind of Curly fro or shaggy hair. I sound like my dad, but I have to scream "Get a Haircut" Yeah, maybe my hair is longer &amp; messier, but I'm not taking the shot. Sure there are several NBA players like Kyle Korver, Ben Wallace, Old Andrew Bogut that have "hippie hair". But they also have mad skills. This guys hair tells me right away that starvation may be the cause of death. OMG he actually hits the backboard. The hair didn't affect his shot, his lack of athletic ability did however.<br /><br />Other Guys Include:<br /><ul><li><strong>Hooded Sweatshirt Guy</strong></li><li><strong>Pink Shirt Guy</strong></li><li><strong>Sunglasses On Head Guy</strong></li><li><strong>Old Man Too Weak To Hit Rim</strong></li></ul>I don't know how these guys get picked to do the shots, but good job Verizon, you are saving Papa John's alot of money...The White Presidenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12928991442952914295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6332235110849924298.post-47182978953894760772008-04-25T07:22:00.001-07:002008-04-25T07:42:26.341-07:00Game 3 Notes<ul><li>Weird guy stands behind the comcast pregame show on his phone telling people to turn on comcast.<br /></li><li>Watched Mike Wise interview Soulja Boy.
