Former Los Angeles Laker great, James Worthy, was a really horny guy:


"On November 14, 1990, Worthy was arrested in Houston, and charged with two counts of solicitation of prostitution. He was in the city with the Lakers for a game against the Houston Rockets. According to the police, prior to the game, Worthy called a local escort service and requested that two women be sent to meet him in his hotel room. Unbeknownst to Worthy, police had already shut down the escort service, and they instead sent two undercover vice squad officers to the hotel to meet him. A month later, Worthy pleaded no contest to both charges. He was sentenced to one year of probation, fined $1,000 and ordered to perform 40 hours of community service."

The cool thing about basketball?

It's the best of the major sports that you can practice alone.

Just need a ball and a hoop.

Baseball?
Football?
Hockey?

If only there was a sport with a ground hoop or net. And a sliding ball thing or puck.

That would be a interesting basketball like sport that one could also play alone.

We should invent that.

You can also practice volleyball alone, hit the ball off a building and practice your rollers on the roof, then when it rolls off the roof you start again. You can also replace the building with poster Blitty's face, if you're so inclined. My parents used to get pissed at me jumperve blasting the ball against the nice garage doors but fuck them - I was good.

Cause shooting into an empty net happens all the time in a hockey game, right?

So the only way to get better is to have a goalie when you play hockey

And that is that

 

[FairWarning]

What a miracle win for the Hawks last night, Buffalo wins on that by losing also. Chicago played about 8 good minutes the entire game.

 

[Mudcat]

So the line on Sim Bhullar.

0 points
0 assists
0 rebounds
0 blocked shots

Largely because his playing time was

0 seconds

(picture not from last night's game.)

Well, I totally didn't say that.


But if you're playing solo, basketball is the better of the four major sports.


Debate OVER.

I'm taking the field for the tournament by the way. i.e. NOT Kentucky.

Haven't watched 3 and a half seconds of NCAA hoops this year but there it is.

 

[Mudcat]

The battles to get in the NHL playoffs are pretty fascinating. Especially since they are actually relevant.

Like teams vying for an 8th seed in the NBA ---> meaningless. Who cares?

But NHL? Shit happens. Not just because the L.A. Kings are in that mix - although it doesn't hurt - but really any time. Shit can happen.

One of the stupidest sports nicknames to me:

Ted Williams, The Splendid Splinter

Like I get it: alliteration is good - but make some sense.


We are calling the guy a splinter?

 

[MrMonkey]

Hamels needs to be very good today!

 

[tullamore]

Hamels needs to be very good today!

Needs to be traded

 

[MrMonkey]

Needs to be traded

Sad to say but yes, I agree with your prediction! Sad to say but I don't think the Phils have bottomed out yet! Sorry Tully, but hoping 1-0 record by time dinner is ready! GL with your Sox this year!
