The Team's Gonna Break

This is my Big concern.

We have been Sooo Good.

Please don't stop. I don't think we will but a lil' Dylan Blues til' "Draft Day".

 

. The Team's Gonna Break



Baby, If it keep on tradin', the team gonna break
If it keep on tradin', the team gonna break
Everybody saying Draft Day only Stern could make

 

Well, I worked on the Line Up, Mama, both night and day
I worked on the Line Up, Mama, both night and day
I got to the Starters and I threw the Uniforms away

 
I paid my time and now I'm good as new,
I paid my time and now I'm as good as new.
They can't take me back unless I want 'em to


If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
Some of these people gonna strip you of all they can take

 

 

I can't stop here I ain't ready to unload
I can't stop here I ain't ready to unload
Riches and salvation can be waiting behind the next bend in the road

I picked you up from the lottery and this is the thanks I get
I picked you up from the lottery and this is the thanks I get
You say you want me to quit ya, I told ya, 'No, not just yet.


Well, I look in your eyes, I see nobody other than me
I look in your eyes, I see nobody other than me
I see all that I am and all I hope to be


If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
Some of these people don't know which road to take

 

When I'm with you, I forget I was ever blue
When I'm with you, I forget I was ever blue
Without you there's no meaning in anything I do

Some Teams on the road carryin' everything that they own
Some Teams on the road carryin' everything they own
Some Teams got barely enough skin to cover their bones


Put on your PTB clothes, mama, put on your evening dress
Put on your PTB clothes, mama, put on your evening dress
Few more years of hard work, then there'll be a 1,000 years of happiness


If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
I tried to get you to love me, but I won't repeat that mistake

 

If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
Plenty of cheap stuff out there and still around that you take

I woke up this morning, Barbosa and eggs in my bed
I woke up this morning, Barbosa and eggs in my bed
I ain't got enough room to even raise my head

Come back, baby, say we never more will part
Come back, baby, say we never more will part
Don't be a stranger with no brain or heart


If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
If it keep on Tradin', the Team gonna break
Some people still sleepin', some people are wide awake

Pffffshhhhhhh

I’d trade you for a jar of pickled mango.

Now hear me out, if we send you and the 13th pick to Detroit for some pickled mango, Juan Dixon, Theo Ratliff, and Rasheed Wallace. That would be the perfect combination to get us to a championship this year.

Kobe is allergic to pickled mango. If we camp out Oden and pickled mango in the paint, we can beat the Lakers in the playoffs next year!

Naah (again)

I have this big crush on LMA, but since I’m a grandma all my fantasies revolve around a much much younger fantasy-me.

Why not an older LMA?

He’ll be a really handsome older man, with grey hair and a cane.

In my fantasies, he’s wearing a nice sweater vest and a short sleeved plaid button up, with a pair of sharp khakis and mall walkers. He just gave me a check for $5 dollars for my birthday, and a card that has a dog saying I am the best Birthday Boy in the world.

Why can’t my dreams, be yours?

Because

I like mine a whole lot better than yours. :-)

Are ya sure about that?

I am still breathin’ here, just in case anyone’s wonderin”

2+ Hours for a Penalty Kick Shoot Out? C’mon, “Cut to The Chase”. This coulda been done from “The Get Go” (Luvs me slang terms).

This would allow more ESPN “Air Time” for things like “Outdoor Bowlin”.

If they had played another 30, it never would have ended. Neither team had the energy to score by the end

Yes but...

...this is what I was waitin’ for.

I woulda watched another 90 minutes o’ Extra Time. Hopin’ for Ruben De La Red to enter The Game (after draggin’ a collapsed Team Mate off the Pitch} and SCOOOOORE! the winnin’ goal.

Wonderful

It takes some real dedication to rewrite Dylan, and yr. rewrite also expresses a real worry I have as the team moves forward (I hope KP isn’t getting addicted to the wheeling and dealing). Maybe for a followup you could bend something like “Nettie Moore” (or better yet, “Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee”) into a biting insult of K. Bryant.

I write a nice ripoff of Radar Love by Golden Earring

And Tom calls me old, but does Dylan and he is a genius!! (lol)

BTW if you like Flobe getting dissed, then you should look at my rendition of How The Grinch Stole Christmas where Flobe gets ran over by a parade float!!

Clearing Room For The Blazers Out West

As the playoff picture begins to take shape it becomes clear that the Western Conference is one big game of musical chairs. There are nine viable playoff teams; unfortunately there are only eight playoff spots. For the Blazers to get a spot, one of last year's playoff teams needs to fall off. Someone's going to be caught standing when the music stops. The following are possible scenarios that could derail each team on their quest for playoff glory, helping the Blazers get back to the postseason for the first time since 2003.
