Thank you RoughKat, I will have to see that movie.

I, Paul Paulos, am neither the President of the US or anyone else so bound for Hell. No, instead “I am a Cowboy, and on a poor Horse I ride..” and last night someone (you know who you are “Gloria”) snuck into my barn on Grand and Snelling and let my Freedom free…or something like that.

What happened is many of my columns in distant years printed my screenname with the gem. Great, I thought, but last night this G-L-O-R-I-A (an assumed name, but a great song) wrote me, E-me’d, to rag on and on and on (and that operative word “on” fit her so accurately fem state well)…Her “point” was that by mentioning male skaters have slight builds and wear leotards was equivalent to saying they were gay !! I bit my tongue, very unusual for me when dealing with assh.les and pointed out that not only fem skaters, but announcers and male skaters themselves estimate that 50 % or more of all male skaters, are in fact, gay. “Well, my boy is NOT, she said gargling through her tonic” and I could only then offer that he MUST be in that OTHER 50 %.

But, this comes up every Olympics , summer in Gymnastics and during winter in Figure Skating, and if I was a National Commentator with more people covering my back, I’d say at this point that I don’t care who your boy has covering his, but Gloria if you write her again, I’ll put my cracker jack sexual identity team workin hard first on your boy, then you, then your husband. Til then go away. Your lifestyle meets zip to me..

You all can call him what you want. But I think he prefers to be called “Mr. Jefferson”.

Jefferson: “That’s my damn rock”

(Four Phoenix Suns surrounding him under the boards cringe.)

Four Suns: “Of course Mr. Jefferson”.

McHale is better (and prefers) teaching proteges his post moves than making personnel decisions. He’s gone as far as he could with his Dr. Frankenstein shtick in trying to bring his beloved Celtics back to life. He’s found his dream player who comes more ready equipped to be molded in his own image than his previous dream player.

I get the feeling (hope) he’s ready to be more hands off next year’s draft and free agency and be content wearing shorts and showing Mr. Jefferson his library of up and under moves. I mean, he must be sick enough of reading Randball comments to want to do anything else.

[…] OK, so we followed a link on a blog that we follow to check out this clip of Lawrence Tynes on Letterman. That’s when we discovered the worst possible scenario is playing out for the Super Bowl: it isn’t only Peyton Manning who is now annoying us in stupid ads that are shown about twice per commercial break, his little twerp brother Eli is joining him. And Mommy and Daddy Archie too. And it’s not just on TV anymore. […]

“The End”, well done! I love it

Or, for short, he could be called “The End”

Big Al - could be “The Cornerstone”, “The Foundation”, “McHale’s Last Hope”, “End of an Era”

Think of it…

The End of an Era comes in with a thunderous finish!

Commenter Epiphanies of the past few days:

I, Dave MN, am in fact the president of the United States, or Screech Powers (depending on the day)

Minnesnota is Gregg Easterbrook

I think Al Jefferson needs a nickname, and not something impossibly lame and nondescript like AJ, A-Jeff or Big Al.

Is that you Mr. Easterbrook???
