Time to fire some shots across the bows, and let's get things heated, like Gerztoff in a horse stable...
I'll take the easy route and go afte equally obvious targets, now that Philadelphia is Vicktimizing the NiFfLe.
Isiah Thomas for all his dancing in circles with a tightly clutched ball in '81 and whenever Bill Lamebeer-brain rode him to an NBA title or two (seriously get a new victory dance) is the greatest con-man in NBA history. Why this dude still gets jobs as a decision maker is beyond me.
I couldn't figure out why Elgin Baylor or whatever-washed-up-too-tight-short-wearing- only-got-grainey-Zapruder-films-of-NBA-"legend"-that-g.m'd-the-Clippers kept his job for 20 years until I read the Clippers never wanted to win they were actually ran as a business designed to show profit (and somehow they did with a horsepiddle product), but I can't for the life figure out what sort of black-ops behind the scenes NY Knick plan justified hiring and not firing the world's worst sports manager. You think Isiah is holding equally grainy footage of him riding Magic's Johnson and is blackmailing the league?
Worst GM ever? Case in point:
Top 10 worst free agent signings of the decade:
You'll notice 1 through 3 are all Isiah Thomas signings, and terrible not just for the crap player but for a ton of other not thought out factors.
Add in the drafting of the Gamecock Fugees extra that was supposed to be the second coming of Dennis Rodman (if as a drunk they were right), having 12 roster spots filled by undersized point guards, and a personal life that is more Mike Tyson than the epitome of silky smooth good guy we once thought he was.
There was a time when Ike defended Bob Knight, and it was this glowing endorsement, Knight's credibility was at an all time low and Ike stood up for the former coach. It meant something.
These days, that bungled front office career has left Thomas coaching basically a NAIA team(what is it central florida state?) and things are so bad, Bob Knight would probably rather Luke "Program" Recker speak up for him than the smiling fraud. I did have "Car" Recker, but that was too low, and program works just take a look at Indiana, Arizona, after Luke left them, only Iowa seems half-way normal though piss-terrible.
Let's see W.O.K. check, check, check. Hank check. Shoats check.
Hmmmmm... who am I forgeting...
Football season is upon us, almost, and now we have the guy doing the Owner's verison of the reverse Midas touch of Isaih Thomas; Danny-Boy "Can't Get Off The" Schneid-er bringing another overpaid mediocre product to the DC market. He came in with the eager promise of another Jerry Jones, a guy who was going to turn the league on it's ear, a man willing to out Jerry Jones, Jerry Jones. Kind of like what Jerry Jones did to Al Davis, who once upon a time built a pretty decent legacy in Oakland then he lost the plot. What has Danny done? He just skipped all the years of success and got right into the Al Davis career portion of being a senile destory the team from the top boss.
Nobody needs a history lesson, but let's review just a couple of small items, everything the Jack was supposed to be is everything the new behomoth in Dallas is, in fact, for all the Redskins bluster their stadium was basically out of date within 3 years. I admit it's big, but like Schneide-r's ego it's little else.
What else... signing terrible overhyped over the hill players for too much. Firing coaches just as they finally get it going and sabotoging them with free agent cancer tumors. You know, throwing money at problems instead of common sense. Umm... summed up by Jeff George.
Anyway, I look forward to another year of averageness from the Deadskins. At least the cowboys rebuild even if they have to go to the bottom of the barrel to do a complete start over, Schneide-r like Forestor as a five year old just throws silly putty at a pile of legos and hopes a house will emerge.
So, we know one thing for sure the Redskins, the Dread(ful)skins, the Foreskins, will be blase like Ray Allen at best. The only thing that is interesting or noteworthy about that team is Chris Cooley being a vicodin short of pulling a Stephan Marbury on the world wide web (yeah, Isiah signed that guy too).
Don't tout their potential... every team from the old NFC East has been to the Superbowl more recently than the Redskins. That includes the Cardinals. Even Al Davis has been more recently than Danny Boy. So too, the Titans, the Flukeins, the Rams, the Seahawks, the friggin' Panthers, the Bucs? All told 20 NFL teams have been to the Superbowl more recently than the Skins. Skins fans should thank goodness the Saints, Browns and Jets organizations exist because the way Schneide-r's regime is going the wheels haven't just fallen off the bus, no, the Skins are a burnt out bus on the side of a highway in a third world country during a soccer riot. They might never get back to the superbowl. Obama needs to clean house locally and send a Death Panel to JKC stat.
Alright, that's most of you. I'll finish off the lot some other time. You're welcome, you all have been saturated as Mr. Juicy, got "Juicey Wit It" enjoy my theme song below. NSFW (Not Safe For Work) Video at least with the volume on loud. (BTW, Look for cameo by Jaime Patenude at the 1:20 mark and throughout the video, Ro-ro dancing in yellow, and if you look quickly Frank 3rd Degree Burns in a Richard Nixon mask).
