Kenny Smith had 8 less wins than Pam Anderson. Shouldn't he be forced to commit seppuku?

Paper Cut, I'm thinking he gets another book's worth of material out of this one. Working title: "Now You Can Die of Boredom: How ESPN's Sports Guy Found His Special Purpose, Playing Fantasy Hoops Against the Likes of Star Jones, Pam's Boobies, and George Brett's Cousin

I mean, Charles Barkley probably knows even less about fantasy sports than the Jet does, but I would give anything to listen to him go to town on Smith over this one. 1-21? Seriously? From the only guy on the panel who actually PLAYED basketball? Ouch. Also, I have to voice some disappointment that Cedric the Entertainer is just listed as "Cedric," since this clearly indicates that "the Entertainer" is not his last name. I was always hoping that his directory info would read "the Entertainer, Cedric." "Welcome back to the Four Seasons, Mr. the Entertainer. How long will you be staying with us this time?"

I won't bag on Bill Simmons, Diana Taurasi, or even Kenny Smith. But calling Star Jones a celebrity...boy, that's pushing it. (Fitting that Family Guy last night was a rerun where they had the women from The View sitting around, literally clucking, with Star laying an egg.)

So what are we looking at here? Five, six thousand word column on this.

Kids, I worked with Matthew Modine on his last project. To assume that he spent less time on the waver wire than Simmons would be incorrect. The man really likes his basketball.
