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

Dave Made SportsCenter

On the 11AM EST edition of ESPN's SportsCenter this morning -- during the show's "BlogBuzz" segment -- the nation was treated to a quip you might recognize from a person you love.

Hilarious.

The terms “Jay Leno” and “joke” only belong together if referring to his success in spite of a lack of talent.

Deckard, David R

I’m somebody now! Millions of people look at ESPN everyday! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity – your name on TV – that makes people. I’m in print! Things are going to start happening to me now.

I get the paper, so I don't care!

He needs to be careful to stay in the non-celebrity celebrity range of celebrity

Can’t get less famous, can’t get more famous… he’s gotta stay in this bubble and then marry a Blazer so we can compete with the Lakers!

Nice work Dave, though out of all the (seriously) brilliant stuff you’ve written about basketeering, it’s funny this is one that gets on national TV.

Hee hee.

by Mortimer on Sep 23, 2009 2:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

Dave's already better than that.

The answer is that a Blazer needs to marry his sister, obviously.

i wish Dave would have said what he was really thinking....

“What more needs to be said? Except that Travis Outlaw better put a ring on Nikki Hilton’s finger or we’re going to have a serious non-celebrity celebrity gap.”

by broyposse on Sep 23, 2009 1:55 PM PDT reply actions  

Maybe now ESPN will cover more games

and we won’t get the shaft by missing our first quarters during TNT’s double headers?

Yeah its gonna suck missing the 1st QTR

By then were gonna be up 20

Wow.

No offense to Dave’s genius or anything, but I guess you can tell we’re at the end of summer when the best basketball news ESPN can come up with involves quoting from the Basketball Blogs.

Thank goodness training camp is almost upon us. I’m ready for the season to start, already!

Eatin’ my morning cereal, I had to smile as the Blazers edge got props. And with a witty jab at the Fakers, no less. Kudos.

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.
