Comments on Basketball Court Day 3: Nick Collison Likes Pizza

Haven't they left yet?

You wasted your own day, Feit.

I'm so glad you recognize that the level of love for the Sonics in Seattle is total irrelevant to the actual question at hand. Now maybe the Stranger can stop printing that tiresome sonics fan who drones on about how much he loves the Sonics. What's his name? Sherman, Sherman somebody.

+1 on the first sentence @3. Thereafter.....not so much. Alexie's columns are great and sooo long to read that I almost feel sorry for David Wright having to slog through 400 droning words on a link one time per week.

SOS! Bite me non-sports fans.

And soccer is not a major sport in this country nor do we need another hockey team south of the border.

Thank you, @4. It never ceases to amaze me how shallow people can be, confusing near-term suckitude with a long-term franchise, and confusing an interest in sports with general meathead-ness.

Though I wouldn't mind an NHL team. Shit, I'd be happy if the T-Birds hadn't moved to Kent.

@1, people are asking the same thing about you.

"maudlin presentation?" What the fuck is "maudlin?" Isn't that word more than a bit archaic? I looked it up in a couple dictionaries and they had different definitions. Using that word to me suggests that you are suicidally-depressed.

Au contraire - maudlin is a fine word to describe the typical emotion(s) that cause(s) the critical faculties of millions of otherwise rational sports fans to shut down when it comes to objectively analyzing the use of huge sums of public funds to subsidize extravagant new palaces to host their favorite game(s).

(and that textbook run-on sentence may be a personal best for # of words without a comma or other break)

Sherman's a great writer.

Sometimes great writers choose sucky teams to get obsessed over.

It happens.

At first I wondered why the judge would let Bennett lie in court about his emails. But I guess this is just handing him a shovel to dig his own grave with, isn't it?
