One Shining Synth Moment
Posted in College Basketball, Geeknology on June 29, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I’m going to post this just because it still makes me happy after all these years. It’s the “One Shining Moment” montage from the 1988 NCAA tournament.
Of course, I love seeing the Kansas footage, my favorites being the Manning dunk and the Milt Newton scoop layup around the 1:50 mark. [...]
The A-plus #1 photo from last night’s NBA Draft
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged NBA Basketball on June 29, 2007 | 3 Comments »
My gut reaction is to not like Joakim Noah very much. I think he pulled a few whiner maneuvers during his college career, and nobody likes a whiner. Especially a two-time national championship whiner.
But for this? For standing next to David Stern with the cheesy smile, ugly bowtie, poodle hair, and peace [...]
Did You Know that Basketball is Jazz?
Posted in Best Of, tagged Music, NBA Basketball on June 28, 2007 | 23 Comments »
Check this out:
The man on the left is my favorite musician of all time, John Coltrane. The man on the right is Kevin Durant, who is about to find out which city in the Pacific Northwest he will set on fire for the next few years.
The thing that has always appealed to me about Coltrane [...]

If you’ve ever wanted to know what a bunch of no-talent assclowns would do if they were GM’s, all you have to do is read just about any blog around. But if you want to know what no-talent assclowns would do, and then watch Awful Announcing make fun of their “acumen”, then you really [...]
Kevin Pritchard’s Long and Winding Road
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged NBA Basketball on June 27, 2007 | 12 Comments »
I’ve been hearing Portland GM Kevin Pritchard’s name bandied about for some time now, thanks to his immense good fortune in having to decide between Greg Oden and Kevin Durant come Thursday of this week. It feels very, very strange to me to hear his name so often, because for the last 15 years or [...]
Meet Delmon Young
Posted in Baseball, Smells Like Pujols on June 27, 2007 | 6 Comments »
OK, we’re here today to meet Delmon Young. Here you go:
Allrighty, we’re done here, thanks!
I’m kidding, of course. But Delmon is damn lucky that his career has blossomed in Tampa Bay, because otherwise, this would be the ONLY thing baseball fans would remember about him. As it is, [...]
100 Most “Influential”: Chris Gatling
Posted in Blogrollin' on June 26, 2007 | 3 Comments »
OK, in my defense, Ted did say “most influential”, not “most effective” or “most memorable”. So my guest post on A Price Above Bip Roberts is about Chris Gatling, who was definitely influential in his ability to “make the salaries match” in big trades, and act as a “deadbeat dad” when it came time [...]
What We Learned: 38 is Too Young

What We Learned is a weekly column written by Ted Bauer of A Price Above Bip Roberts. In it, he catches us up on the big stories of the weekend, and says bad words that make me laugh.
What We Learned:
Even The Wildman Perishes Someday
R.I.P. , Rod Beck.
The White Sox are not very good
Think back [...]

A do-it-yourself interview with me is up at Bloginterviewer.com. It’s not as in-depth as the Pyle of List masterpiece, but it’s nice anyway.
