    my dad, in about 3 inches of my mom's shit water, had to chop of a large ball of compressed excrement of my mom's lodged directly in the exit hole of the toilet.

    Drew, could you ask the anonymous contributor if he'd mind if I include that in my wedding vows? If that's not love, I don't know what is. #jamboroo

    Now I've got two back surgeries to my name, and I look like an asshole when I walk.


    So without football you wouldn't have had the back surgeries? #jamboroo

    Easterbrook says Crabtree ruined the 49ers with "waves of negativity"

    Weird, because Doolittle was made classic by a "Wave of Mutilation". #jamboroo

    Alright, I'm headed out. Thanks again for having me on. Great questions - only wish I had better answers. And, one final plug, the book is available everywhere or at [www.amazon.com] #bookexcerpts

    Alright, a final question about my Wizards. Does it make any sense that a team known for its atrocious defense went and hired Flip Saunders as their head coach? Did they simply think he was the best available coach, or are they consciously following "the best defense is a good offense" mantra from Phoenix? And if so, wouldn't that be epically stupid, since there is only one Steve Nash? #bookexcerpts

    I posed this question to Stephon Marbury during his UStream meltdown over the summer, but I was dissatisfied with his answer; Who is the toughest (i.e. could beat up everyone else) in the National Basketball Association? #bookexcerpts

    @Tony Reali's Winning Smile: What did Marbury say? I don't claim to know the answer to this one, but I've certainly heard a lot of stories about Stackhouse being a badass. And I have to imagine Artest would be formidable. #bookexcerpts

    @roland_t_flakfizer: Scouts would say he moves well without the ball, hustles his ass off (is that a technical term?), finishes well at the rim, can hit the open J and plays good D. He's that guy you always want on your team #bookexcerpts

    @DennyCrane: Well, I'd have to list about 20 across all sports. So instead I'll say that when it comes to long-form feature writing - which is my preferred style - the guys I really admire right now are Scott Price, Chris Jones, Wright Thompson, Jeff MacGregor and Gary Smith. #bookexcerpts

    Chris, is there any player in the NBA that stands out for clearly not deserving a roster spot, and could be replaced with a more effective d-leaguer, euro player or other?

    Conversely, is there a guy out there who stands out for not getting nearly the playing time or opportunity his game merits?

    Or does the water find it's own, correct level? #bookexcerpts

    @David Hume: From a pure talent level, sure there are guys like that. But the NBA game is so often about personalities that often a 12th man's ability in the locker room is more important than his play (because really, how much is he going to play?). So yeah, there are guys out there more skilled than someone like Adonal Foyle or Speedy Claxton, but those two guys bring a lot to the locker room (and, in Foyle's case, to media relations, as he's one of the better human beings in the league and wonderful company) #bookexcerpts

    Who of the 2010 FA class do you think is a logical fit to go to the Mavs next season (assuming Dirk also stays)? Fans are pushing for Chris Bosh (because he's local), but I think Joe Johnson or even Wade would be great. Thoughts?

    @DirkToberFest: If I'm the Mavs and I get any one of those three, I'm quite happy. As for fit with the team, I think Dirk's lack of ego is the key; as he's shown, he can assimilate to all manner of systems, from run-and-gun to defensive-minded to Dirk-as-post-player. So he'll be fine with all three. Get Wade and that's quite a team #bookexcerpts
