Introducing: The Shit List
By ticktock6 on January 6, 2008
Who’s on the list this week?
1. Governor Blanco. Why sign that new $#*tty lease? The Hornets were locked in, and now they have an out. Several outs. Whoever looked at that lease and said, “This here is a great idea” obviously did not go to law school or understand the concept of negotiations. There is a word for what the City of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana will look like if they lose a pro sports team. And that word is “bush league.”
2. Cox Cable & Charter Communications. Getting people on the Northshore to see the games is huge.
3. ESPN. We don’t get no love from ESPN.
4. Kobe Bryant. Some cheese with that whine?
5. The hordes of losers who came to the game to see Kobe instead of CP3 on Wednesday, blocking us out of our usual parking spot and making us late.
6. The Times Picayune. Deserves a spot for last Sunday’s paper alone. OK, the BCS was a legitimate sporting event. But the Saints retrospective (complete with color photos) and the freakin’ Crescent City Classic spread could have given up A LITTLE space to the Hornets’ huge road win over the BEST TEAM IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE. CP3 and Tyson’s monster game at Golden State the previous night? Ended late and got barely a boxscore.
7. NBA.com. Don’t order a jersey from their store. It will take at least 2 weeks.
8. The NOPD. We sat at the light at the top of Poydras for four entire minutes last night. I was looking at the clock. You know, some vehicles would like to actually get to the games.
