    In reply to Which Former NBA Star Had An Affair With Some Guy Malcolm Gladwell Met At A Party?
    Being in the NBA (and more broadly, American professional sports in general) is at this moment in history almost the polar opposite of being a physicist in sub-Saharan Africa.

    Being in the NBA is the polar opposite of being Denise Richards in a mid-90s Bond movie?

    I don't know what the fuck just happened, but after reading Moe's posts back-to-back, the movie Primer suddenly makes perfect sense to me. And I haven't even seen Primer.

    I have a feeling that Nolan Ryan never saw any of Bullock's chick flicks...but he loved the shit out of "Demolition Man."

    Craggs also squeezed in a reference to Lester Bangs, so he gets a B in my book.

    I will say, the discussion in general seems like the perfect situation for a Marshall McLuhan reference. Work on it Tommy.

    I guess some public shtick established elsewhere was supposed to make me see how Celtic-abnegating he'd been here.

    To be fair, Oliver Cromwell did it way better than Simmons did.

    Bill Simmons's sexism drives me nuts, too- glad to know I'm not the only one.

    For the amount of porn and sports the guy must watch, his wife has got to be a real sweetheart.

    @Juancho:

    "If Bill ever follows Tiger's skank-chasing footsteps, I am going to beat him to death with his 2.8-pound book, while also having sex with cabana boys and masseurs. There will be no mystery about what happened. That's my Great Call of the Week."

    That was written by the Sports Gal in simmons last mailbag. As you can see her "sweetheart" title tends to come and go depending on the topic they are discussing.

    I heard that Bethlehem Shoals and Jonathan Lethem are going to get married. What a crazy married name that would be!

    Jonathan Shoals is ridiculous!

    @MarkKelsosMigraine: that's my favorite cautionary anecdote about 70s filmmaking- Scorsese being rushed to the hospital, basically bleeding out of every orifice...finally figuring out that he was doing too much coke.

    @Juancho: How about him and Robbie moving to Hawaii, painting the windows black, going on the most epic bender in Rock/movie history, and emerging alive and with The Last Waltz completely edited. That's true brilliance.
