The idea for the KY police radio drops it worked well today.

So Terry likes Goff's musical choices. I wanna see Terry over at Gason's pad bumping the tunes.

Jason's "Dan Mahhhneil" mentions are getting a tad too obsessivey.

Just keeping him relevant...

i just want to know, did rose hurt his groin in game or what seems much more likely- outside of work?

i still remember that play where they said he injured it... he landed just a little weird but nothing crazy... and he finished the game

is it even possible for an injury like that, that doesnt take you out of a game, and have it be serious enough to miss 2 months?

Does it matter? The Bulls aren't even going to make the playoffs.

I feel like NBA fandom in general is kinda weird. It's not the advertising/gambling/fantasy monolith that is the NFL, it doesn't occupy the place in our hearts for generations upon generations that baseball does, and it doesn't inspire the level of cultish fanaticism that the NHL does. What you're left with, then, is this vast middle ground of sports content that, like that old board game Othello, takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master. Most people in (and beyond) NBA cities enjoy watching NBA games, and most people hope that their local team defeats the opposing team on a night they're watching, but the percentage of people who really get basketball on the level that it needs to be gotten seems awfully low relative to baseball and football, where the casual fanbases are huge and in turn so too are the diehards, or hockey, where not many people like it but those who do are almost always diehards.

Chicago's NBA fandom is insufficient. So is virtually everybody else's. Dan talks at length from afar about how Knicks fans are so good at Getting It, but dollars to donuts there's a contingent of Knicks fans who feel that MSG has been sanitized and ruined by too much corporate presence. Of course there are "just Jordan fans" because the Bulls before and after Jordan mostly sucked.

I was glad to hear JGoff call them out a little bit for making fun of Brittney Griner so much. I'm all for being as offensive as possible in general, but the tone they had taken on her was kinda icky.

Of all the sports talk on this board, I would venture that the NBA Basketball talk is the most intelligent. All of us "get it" (except Nas).

Rank of smarts on sports for CSFMB
1. NBA
2. NHL
3. MLB
4. Soccer
5. NFL (way too much meatballness for any sort of intelligent conversations to be had).

That sounds about right. I would also note that we're just as much an outlier among sports fans as Dan and Terry are, in one sense or another.
