I cursed at the Raptors radio guy last night...I'm sure I was on the air in Canada. Bobs should've won. WE LET EM OFF THE HOOK!

Apparently, Dickau was less concerned about the point spread than he was about getting home quickly to see his wife. (scroll down) Can you blame him?

@Gourmet Spud: So are you trying to tell us that with diminished minutes come diminished stats? Nonsense.

@youstayclassy: ok, ok... how about "That Grinning Cracker Bastard With The Bad Haircut"--is that any better? No?

You'd think a former Zag would at least remember how to run up the score and pad his team's offensive stats. But not last night, apparently.

@Johnny LaRue:

You're going to have be more specific with your insults.

'Grinning Cracker Bastard' actually applies to 90% of Gonzaga basketball players.

On the subject of superdicks, I'd like to thank Dan Dickau for his repeated half-ass mosey-the-ball-upcourt-slowly-when we're-down-by-nine in the last ninety seconds of the Clippers game.

Yes, of course I had the over on the game, including a ten point teaser that I STILL lost by a point because of that grinning cracker bastard.

That "God Hates the Pacers" link just ruined my day. I don't know why I even bothered to read it.

Grant Hill's "hidden groin problem" is just codespeak for vaginal cramps.

Can I get a ruling on the levels of superdickery displayed by Ron Artest and Mike Tyson?

Odd that there are two Tobias's who that joke could have applied equally too.

I'm waiting for the Knicks to come out and say they fired Isiah, just to laugh at the celebrating fans and drop the big April Fools on them.

Yeah, it's amazing how Jose's production has dropped off since he's had to give up a ton of playing time and (voluntarily) his starting spot to T.J. Ford. It's almost as if there is some kind of correlation...

I'm guessing they're going to be very motivated

To choke up a thirty-point lead? Forty? The sky's the limit!

And, frankly, what are you doing wearing a dress, dude?
Technically, its a "corproate muu muu". And I'd thank you not to bring it up again.

Tobias Beecher can think of several other ways to get beaten back door.

The hidden groin trick won the game for the Cubs in the gay porno version of Rookie of the Year. Title? Oh, you know it's Nookie of the Queer. You know this.

I guess Grant Hill has already injured all of his real body parts so now he has to move on to the hidden ones
