1_medium For the record, I did not get a colonoscopy yesterday. Just in case there was any question. Man, I've got nothing today.

2_medium Speaking of someone that probably has had a colonoscopy... Here's my favorite quote from Bill Walton (who is retiring from broadcasting) on John Stockton,

John Stockton is one of the true marvels, not just of basketball, or in America, but in the history of Western civilization!

8_medium From @lockedonsports yesterday, we learned that Wesley Matthews will start tonight against the Raptors with AK coming off the bench.

This will be a good move. I like AK on the second team since he can play multiple positions and really, he's been our second best player this season. Booze is creeping up there, but I've liked AK's all around game.

4_medium The flash in the night sky you might have seen last night in Utah was the KOOF re-entering the earth's atmosphere. He told me he would like to apologize for causing a disturbance. He was off verifying the water on the moon claim last night. He had to wait until there was a new moon so that he wouldn't be visible in North America.

For the moon people, the tale of the great white 41 has just started.

I told you I have nothing.

5_medium The week of polls continue here at SLC Dunk. What would you be willing to give up if it guaranteed a Jazz championship? What if we could win it this year, but it meant that Deron had to be traded in the off-season? Would you do it? What would you give up? It could be anything. Let me know and I'll run these tomorrow.

Colonoscopies

Thinking about them in general is a horrible thing.
Thinking about them happening to Bill Walton makes me smile and wonder—does he get charged a flat rate or by the hour—gotta be a long procedure.
Finally, although they must be paid well, proctologist (endoscopist?) has to be the worst job ever!
Moon River!

Do We Still Have a Basketball Team?

And, if we do, how come they never play basketball games? It seems like they haven’t played in weeks.

headline news!

Sitting in Wingers enjoying all-you-can-eat wings.
FYI— I just watched Greece beat the Ukraine 1-0 in soccer to qualify for the world cup.
Incidentally the Koof scored the winning goal.

I bring this up only so you can keep an eye on the Fes/Koof dual over the next few days. Given the irrational fan behavior from Euro soccer fans, I hope Fes doesn’t stick a shiv in the Koof. (Of course, it goes without saying that the Koof woild likely thank Fes, pull the Shiv out, and proceed to use it as a toothpick).
