TOPIC 1: WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION OF VINNY DEL NEGRO?
He’s already the best Bull. He knows how to play defense.
Love the hair, hate the hire.
I always knew Charles would be in charge again.
He reminded me of Doogie Howser’s best friend.
I like that he wants to take things one day at a time. You don’t hear many coaches talk like that.
TOPIC 2: THIEVES STOLE the N.Y. GIANTs’ SUPER BOWL RINGS. WHO WOULD BUY THEM?
Tom Brady likes anything that’s hot. I bet he pinched them.
Bill Belichick.
A mostly hairless naked little man who keeps yelling “Precious!”
People with very large fingers.
The waiting list among Minnesota Vikings fans is 100,000 names long. Ooooh. Burn.
TOPIC 3: PLAN A TRIBUTE IN HONOR OF THE WOLVES’ CHAMPIONSHIP.
A nice seafood dinner is the only way to celebrate beating Penguins.
Stick a few sparklers in construction barrels on Mannheim Road and be done with it.
I’ll draw a flea bath for Skates the mascot.
We can have a ticker tape parade down Wolfram Avenue.
I propose a ceremonial switching of the Wolves with the Blackhawks in Grant Park.
TOPIC 4: DO YOU BELIEVE NBA PLAYOFF GAMES HAVE BEEN RIGGED? WHY OR WHY NOT?
Probably. The Chads at the games never get punched right.
Yes. Why? I can’t say.
Look at all the big “comebacks” this postseason. Not only are they rigged, they’re choreographed.
I don’t need Tim Donaghy to tell me NBA games have been rigged.
Yes. An entire nation was robbed of watching the Wizards and Soulja Boy play for a title.
TOPIC 5: TIGER WOODS PLAYING WITH AN INJURY IS LIKE …
… Kobe playing in the finals. Both are disjointed and don’t deserve flexibility.
… the rest of the field playing healthy.
… Leo building his dolls of the ’80s collection without Strawberry Shortcake.
… m wrtng wtht sng ny vwls.
… Da Vinci painting with one hand.
