This could help to ease the rage against ESPN. Well, not likely, but you cannot ignore Chris Paul. The following is an exerpt from ESPN's latest Weekend Dime by Marc Stein: "You can argue that I've slighted him again by not leading off our weekly West review with Chris Paul, but who knows? Maybe that's a good thing for the Hornets and their fans. Maybe that's one of the factors fueling their priceless point guard. Here's what we know for sure: Paul is simply refusing to allow know-it-alls like me to get away with suggestions that the MVP race is strictly a Kobe-versus-LeBron sprint. The Hornets entered the weekend with a 7-3 record in March, even though David West missed five of those games. And here's what Paul thinks of our recent column that ranked New Orleans' schedule over the final 20-ish games of the season as the hardest schedule for any of the West's top nine teams: Paul is averaging 25.3 points, 13.2 assists and 2.8 steals this month while shooting (no misprint) 59.9 percent from the floor and 48.4 percent on 3-pointers. Not sick enough for you? Paul awoke Friday having already recorded nine games this season with at least 20 points and 15 assists. The rest of this league has accounted for eight such games. Combined. And now he's even filling up a building the skeptics said couldn't be filled, which certainly can't hurt Paul's MVP argument. The Celtics' arrival Saturday -- and let me repeat, as an aside, that Kevin Garnett still has to figure in high in the balloting given how ruthless Boston continues to be -- will mark the Hornets' eighth sellout in their past 13 games. It makes sense, then, that the Hornets have launched their own Web site -- CP3MVP.com -- to help keep their guy's name at the forefront of the MVP discourse." End Quote Those stats are other-worldly. Are you kidding me, more 20pt/15asst games then the rest of the Association combined?!?! I'm starting to think Chris Paul is from Krypton, or perhaps he was a victim of some nuclear meltdown or something. Get a load of this, ticktock. This could help to ease the rage against ESPN.

There's still plenty of room. I'll be making stops in the CBD and Metairie this week. I'll also be making stops on the Northshore and the Westbank soon to pick more of you up. Any questions, ask Mikey, because he's driving me. Sincerely, The Bandwagon Anyone still want to jump on? There’s still plenty of room. I’ll be making stops in the CBD and Metairie this week.

And he says, "It's perfect. This is the place I want to die." And then she tears it all down because he's out of money. This post will go with time as others come in above it. But it's IT. This is the perfect post. This post is why this blog exists. I tip my hat to you ticktock6. And to the Hornets. And to the 18,280. All of whom made it possible. Thank you all.
