FanPost of the Week

I'm a sucker for point guard comparisons.  So this week's (back like it never left) FanPost of the Week is prezofdeath's "Ranking the League's Brightest Stars: Top 25 PGs." 

If you're sick of arguing about our point guards, now you can argue about everyone's point guards. The man even embedded pictures to keep you entertained as you work through his list.  Now that is good work.

A couple other solid FanPosts you might check out and weigh in on:

-- A question of identity by CatMan2

-- Nightbluefruit's welcome letter  to his co-worker. [OT]

Speaking of good work, ever since Dave hit the reset button on FanPost behavior everyone seems to have collectively stepped it up. One thing to add to this list of FanPost reminders: use the recommend button.  If you see something you like, something that made you think, something that made you chuckle: recommend it. It bumps those posts to the top and it will help further the discussion. 

Here's prezofdeath celebrating his achievement...

Also,

Not to take over your job Ben, but I’d like to throw out the following posts as equally deserving of the P.O.T. Week* award:

Haha. Good one. Congratulations, prez.

I’m glad to see this award making a comeback. I like seeing the photos of the winners as they read and celebrate the announcement of their honor. That’s the most touching part.

Total Rubbish

Not the fan posts you mentioned, they were great.

I’m objecting to your absurd implication that Dave’s post had anything to do with a stepping it up on FanPost behaviour.

Because of work demands, I had to be away for a while, and obviously things declined. Now that I am back, things are obviously improving.

This site is obviously about ME. Please maintain a proper perspective on these things in future. I understand the uninformed masses making such mistakes in FanPosts, but to make this kind of error on the front page is just too much to ignore. Do not let it happen again.

I was WORKING

I do sing poorly, but not badly enough to be put in jail for it. (That was so bad it even hurt me. Oh, well, I don’t want to delete it. You’re so glad to have me back you’ll even be glad to read my really, really dumb puns.)

There was one really bad thing that happened while I was gone. Yes, my spies are everywhere. I know. I know that YOU suggested that people should impersonate me.

Do you not know what happens to people who impersonate evil supreme rulers? Do you not realize what I would have had to have my henchmen friendly assistants do to those who tried this?

Your post therefore tells us everything we needed to know.

Congrats prezofdeath

I don’t know if any one read this in the fanshot section, but with yesterday being Memorial Day I thought this was an interesting read: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/truehoop/0-32-220/Infantry-Hoops-in-Iraq.html?lpos=spotlight&lid=tab7pos1

If it fills a need, if it fills a rebuilding situation. And my goal is to fill and rebuild and I am not going to be shortsighted.

Well in that case

You’re either blogging in your freezer or you’re a melted pile of water

And thank you for the birthday wishes…although you’re about two weeks early.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
