Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Junk Drawer-3/13 Dheepan's Artistic Exploits Ed.

First off as Timbo has been covering, the Suns lost wooo! Also J.Rich is just dumb for trying to pull off a 360 dunk in the middle of a clutch situation. I don't care how good you are with the game as close as it was it was no time to try such a showy manuever. That being said wow Lebron...3rd straight triple double. I've been saying that he is better than Kobe this season, and these types of performances show why.

 

Oh and the artistic exploits tag line, I'm doing a painting of Brandon Roy!

What if the economy made pot legal? If pot is legal, would it be like alcohol and you would be allowed to do it as long as you were not under the influence at work?

by Dragline on Mar 13, 2009 9:35 AM PDT reply actions  

I don't smoke nuthin'

BUT, legalize it and tax the crap out of it and gimme the money, is what I say!

No no for driving, heavy machinery, same crap as booze. But for most brainless jobs people GOTTA be high to do them, and you can, like, work at a restaurant or a bookstore or an elementary school while high on The Weed… you can’t do that stuff while drunk without being obviously drunk, though.

Oregon, California, billions upon billions of revenue just sitting there waiting to be taxed and everyone can be happy.

Down here it seems pretty easy to “legally” obtain and smoke pot, so why not stop pussyfootin’ around and legalize it and tax it and, as I said before, gimme the money.

REQUIRED watching for the day: Jon Stewart vs. Jim Cramer!

http://www.thedailyshow.com/index.jhtml

Some swear words flying, but overall Jon gives his best performance since roasting the Crossfire guys. Must watch TV. Especially watch part 2 of his interview with Cramer. Awesome. How come about the only guy in the national consistently holding people in the news media accountable to do their [expletive] jobs and thinking quick enough on his feet to call out their phrases is working for a comedy cable channel?

as to why they are the only ones….look who owns the others….

by Corvid on Mar 13, 2009 10:31 AM PDT up reply actions  

I loved his comeback when Cramer tried to protect himself by using the "there was a market for this" excuse :)

I also liked that he admitted Cramer should not be the face of this criticism, but hey someone has to and the truly accountable guys won’t come on his show and many money advisers didn’t do their job either confusing access and talking about it with reporting and investigating what is really going on.

by Norsktroll on Mar 13, 2009 10:39 AM PDT up reply actions  

That was a beat down.

I wonder if others on that channel are glad the Daily Show didn’t call them or happy they refused the invitation.

by Dragline on Mar 13, 2009 1:44 PM PDT up reply actions  

I respect that Cramer actually came on

and took his lumps.

The media has gone so far downhill… it is incredibly sad that the best reporting is done by a comedy channel.

“Wound”.

Those are gross words when used in that context but since she hates it so much it is funny to say.

Awe man

When I first got to my ship I had to live in First Division with lots of black people. My first day on the ship, this one dude named Threadgill came up to me with a knife and said, “Let me cut you cuz.” I said, “No thanks.” An then another guy said, “Threadgill, leave the new guy alone.” As Threadgill walked off, he said, “I stab the wound cuz, I stab the wound!”

100% True story. I swear on my tominhawaii screen name. Threadgill loved to play big booty porn in the 1st Division berthing TV and VCR at night. That’s true too.

The Basketball Jones was funny today. They did a voice over of the Kobe/Ron video.

Do you ever want to send them silly ideas for their Book Off, Pay Off" bet? I want to suggest drinking a gallon of milk, kissing a transsexual hooker, doing heroin, rub hot sauce on their brown eye… The list goes on forever, I just know they won’t ever do it. I recommended wearing a Speedo for the show and they said I wasn’t their friend. Maybe I should write a FanShot and see if I can get someone in trouble.

I think they're just talking about her vagina though

So it’s not as dirty as you think.

I don’t know why people are surprised she got preggers. If I was around Sheldon Williams, I’d be so captivated by his devestatingly handsome looks that I’d get pregnant our of sheer man-jealousy. The more I bald the more forehead I got, and that’s all Sheldon has on me as far as I can tell… and I’m catching up.

When I’m rich, I’ll pay a WNBA starlette to allow me to impregnate her (doesn’t have to be the old fashioned way so it isn’t cheating on the Misses), and raise the kid as my own. It’ll match the other kids looks, except much lankier. It’ll be our little secret and I’ll get to be proud of my NBA kid.

The best thing about Sheldon

Besides that resemblance, is that we can always use him against AK1984 when AK says something we don’t like— he predicted not only that Sheldon would be good (which is a stretch by itself), he predicted he’d be a BEAST.

Of course, AK1984 admits this freely, but it’s always to have such a blundered prediction in your back pocket to unleash on him when he least expects it.

I don’t watch much NCAA at all, so whenever I see a “name brand” college player be ranked so highly that I just don’t see why he’s considered to be a good pro prospect, I always second guess myself because I don’t watch them enough. I think I got good instincts now because I’m almost always right— Sheldon just didn’t look like a good player, ala Ammo and Reddick or Corey Brewer. They’er just name brand players playing for famous colleges (Gonzaga counts) and I think GMs often take those players where they take them because everyone says they should be taken there.

And for the Hawks to PROMISE Sheldon that they’d draft him at #5, after already having a million forwards even then… why did they do that? Even if they expected him to be the perfect role playing PF, why at #5, and a guarantee? There’s something to be said for a team drafting for need and getting a perfect role player type if that is what they need (the Blazers will be looking for that more than a high potential high risk type from now on), but that high in the lottery on a still bad team… it made no sense at the time, and especially no sense now.

I think their GM got paid off by Sheldon’s agent, just like everyone thinks John Nash got a cut of Telfair’s Adidas money.

He didn’t even pass the name test. Sheldons make good accountants, not good NBAers. That’s just scientific fact.

Is Sheldon Shelden's brother? Then there still might be hope for that player the Kings employ

If we go by name, the more telling sign is his middle name “DeMar”. All NBA players named variations of DeMar have been bad so far as far as I can remember. Especially DerMarr Johnson, picked at #6 in the awful 2000 draft. DeMar DeRozan hopes to reverse that trend, but after looking tremendous in high school it doesn’t look promising in college.

by Norsktroll on Mar 14, 2009 6:16 AM PDT up reply actions  

Wolves. He is on the Wolves now. That can't be good

Shelden Williams, Bobby Brown for Rashad McCants, Calvin Booth. I wonder who mad Wolves fans are about drafting Shaddy over Danny Granger, and now ending up with an ever worser version :)

Do any of you folks work in a "secure" building?

I’ve signed in and walked into my building at least a half dozen times and the security guard didn’t see me. A few times they have been sleeping, but mostly they are distracted and I just stroll in behind them. I wonder if it is like that at other places.

by Dragline on Mar 14, 2009 4:28 AM PDT reply actions  

I used to

When I worked in the cellphone industry, they had detectors and scanners to prevent theft, so naturally the guards were pretty alert. Even in non-factory buildings. I remember one guy who knew me perfectly well, but always gave you trouble when you forgot your ID card.

We have one guy who is always on his laptop playing games or watching movies

I’ve signed in and walked past him at least 4 times without him noticing me.
