I was being semi-ironical, to the extent that Garnett was in the past a master of decorum. You think San Antonio again? Who else in the West? Toonces - you’re right.

You think San Antonio again? Who else in the West?

You'd rather he lie? And he hasn't been handed a championship. He might have been handed a championship appearance. Beyond that...

On a Garnett side note, he's pretty much been bashing Taylor and McHale every chance he gets. Which I don't get, since Taylor and McHale basically hand-delivered him a championship. The poll should've been: Steeler's beat Patriots. Nick Punto traded to Red Sox. Celtics lose in four to Portland. Does ESPN still exist?

The Patriots are forced to use Rich Kotite and Matt Cassel or whoever as their head coach and starting QB, and they lose to Minnesota 49-3. I would be okay with that.
