I got a great idea for a post. Various NBA players listed and we gotta guess their new team. Damn these guys change so much I can’t keep up.

You been watching “Who He Play For?” Last night’s version was hilarious.

(Spoiler)

Ernie hitting Shaq with the chair had me laughing so much, I think I woke the neighbors.

But this was still a very solid installment of 30 for 30. I knew about the Meredith story, but never from the football angle.

Seeing politicians look like utter fools for opposing integration makes me think someday we will see the same type of thing concerning the drug war – something every politician seems to think is absolutely necessary, but most of the citizens I talk to think is nuts. We can only hope.

I’m not a horror guy, but Cabin in the Woods and Mothman Prophecies are solid. Blair Witch is a good call. It gets unfairly ripped because it’s premise has been xeroxed into formula, but that was a legitimately creepy, unsettling film to see in a theater.

There have been only two movies I’ve seen in the last twenty years that gave me nightmares for two weeks after I saw them: Blair Witch and Mothman. Both of them still creep me the fuck out.

As for Mississippi, it’s hard for modern audiences to get their minds around what race relations were like in the 1950s and 1960s. How ugly things really were. Mississippi might as well have been South Africa in those years.

No NBA Opening Night post?

Detroit Pistons:

Going to miss the playoffs again, however team should exceed the 31.5 wins predicted by those that make a living doing so. Finished 21-21 last season. Monroe is quietly turning into a stud. Knight is going to be a pretty good PG in the NBA. If Drummond can learn and develop this year, there’s no reason the team can’t be a 7 or 8 seed next season. Villanueva sucks ass, but his contract expires in a couple of years. Look for the team to move Prince before the trade deadline. For both of you wondering where Corey Maggette is, he’s playing in Michigan this season. By “this season” I mean only this season. A shitload of cap room will be available in the next couple of years to those players wanting to spend their winters in a state that has beautiful summers. We have a new owner. By Detroit standards, he looks like a giant douche bag, and his business practices make Mitt Romney look like a nun.

Nope. Pool Cleaner is our new heel. I hope he lasts through the election. A little spice, but not too much.

I also hate Halloween. I’m old and it only became a big deal after I was twelve, but not until I was 30, when slutty halloween costumes became a thing. Fuck that.

/Jealous.

Cano led all AL 2B in Defensive WAR.

shhhh..dont disrupt my yankee hate with facts.

Just my opinion but I think the NBA is a great product these days. And I grew up in an NHL town (Buffalo) that ignores the NBA by and large. A lot of interesting teams and players in their prime. Yeah half the league is horrible but those teams are never on TV anyways.
