By on May 20, 2008

I don’t think I’m going to watch it anymore.

Like, ever.

Or, this week.

    You know what I Fucking (capital F) hate? When the press puts stupid headlines like ‘Hornets sting’ this or ‘Hornets get stung’ that. It’s so cliché and utterly unimaginative, and I hate having to put up with that idiocracy and laziness from the media.

    Just something pent up for years now and finally I have an audience. <3

    You know, I JUST googled ‘Chris Paul’ to see if there were any good articles up yet, and was thinking the exact same thing. It’s so lame.

    Whatever. We know you were using Google Images, ticktock.

    CP3 is a hottie. (More seriously, I wanted postgame quotes…)

    Oh come on… What’s with the editing of comments? Totally not fair. Only thing left on ‘Hype is a sarcasm button. mW would wear that down as if it were nothing.

    Speaking of postgame comments, did you notice how CP was ‘unsatisfied’ with the season? Geez, the guy is just hellbent on winning. Glad he’s on OUR team (again, special thanks to Milwaukee, Atlanta, and Utah for passing on CP!).

    Who, me? Or mW? mW is angry. He has taken his angry ass to bed. It is probably a good thing.

    That press conference only made me love CP more. If that was possible.

    A) I could’ve sworn you edited your comments.
    B) mW would be the king of the sarcasm button.
    C) I don’t know how you kids stay up so late either, but I’m inclined to take my dumb ass to bed. You got me hooked on looking at rather paltry statistics with your mention of the Sabres and CP. Now I’m all over the place looking at Stanley Cup results, Oscar Robertson statistics, and other irrelevant data to my life.

    haha. You’re right. I just added that I was looking for postgame quotes. I would of course not have done that if there was a sarcasm button in the first place.

    I have no brain. I’m going to bed. I’m NOT going to work. Too much to drink and too much angst. P.S. the Sabres did NOT make the playoffs this year, after being the Celtics of the NHL last season. But I doubt the Hornets are apt to trade the two best players on their roster, thus allowing them to avoid such problems… I digress.

    I’m still angry. I’m a changed man. I can’t even face the media at large or the aforementioned lame headlines. And if I have to listen to some schmuck say one more time how the Hornets lacked playoff experience and the Spurs are “the champs” my head will explode.

    Today’s headline: “BUZZKILL”

    You forgot that one, Mark. Which we’ve only seen after, like, every other loss of the season.

    I’m probably done watching NBA this season, but I’m really rooting for a Lakers/Celtics Finals for the good / popularity of the League. I’m sure L.A. will get there, but I have trouble seeing the Celtics beating the Pistons.

    Did you guys see our “Gone Fishin” picture? I thought it was great. Brad Pitt and Ray Nagin were on the boat, and they had DX catching a huge tuna-looking fish (I don’t know fish).

    *hands Kal the bottle*
    Don’t bogart the bottle, my friend. We got a lot of drunk to get out of it.

    I get that the gold shirts were out of stock – but I think we should have used Pnurple.
