Grab Bag Fridays: Take It To The House
(1 Cent): Where's The Love?
It's that time again for reader's response. We only had a couple this week ... I'll give you what I got.
Q: "I know what you mean about the fantasy vs. reality conundrum. But, I like it when other owners in a league are such huge fans of their real-life team that they draft a lot of their favorite team's players (when they shouldn't) and accept trades for crappy players that clearly aren't that good. I loves it all. " -- AX9
HCP: Yes, I love it when people are like that in fantasy leagues, too. For instance, one year in my basketball fantasy league we (J.H. and I) had traded Shaquille O'Neal to some Lakers lover (yes, I am one too ...) for Tim Duncan (debatable MVP), Michael Finley (circa when he was part of the Dallas 'Big Three' with Dirk and Nash and was good), and Zydrunas Ilgauskas (a Top 4 Center). I mean, I love the Lakers, but I know a good trade when I see it. He was happy with Shaq, and I was happy destroying the rest of the league. It's a beautiful thing.
Q: "I have a question. What is with the picture of yourself you put up? It looks like you were frozen in carbonite like in Star Wars, possibly by a big, porky Jabba-type character...if so, how did you escape??? I mean, I can't believe you didn't talk about this already on the blog, seems like a near-death experience would be important enough to talk about!" -- Jamz
HCP: Well, it goes a little something like this ... I had a pic of myself ... I sent it to a friend to make something out of it ... the best one I liked is the one where I look embossed in abalone colored foil.
Besides ... do you think I'd be captured by Jabba? I'm more sly than Han Solo any day. I'm a crafty one ... and you can quote me on that.
(2 Cent): Randomness
-- Ha, they cut Bruce Bowen ... just like I said they should (would) ... I should charge $0.98 a minute to even listen to me, I'm so psychic!
-- What is VH1 going to call the show about the years 2000-2009? 'I Love The 00's?'
-- Should we really complain about gas prices? I mean, milk is almost as much in price and there's a never ending supply of that juice. (The answer is 'yes'?).
Uhm ... I've got nothing left to say for the week ... even that was stretching it. Hopefully this weekend recharges my creative flow ... see ya Monday.
