The Downbeat - 27 August 2009 - #45 - The Link Dump Edition

by Basketball John on Aug 27, 2009 6:53 AM MDT

1_medium By my calculations, this is Downbeat #45 with 44 done by me and 1 done by moni (thank you). I'm going to start numbering them for the sake of, well, I don't know really. Just seemed like a good idea at the time. I can't believe how easy they're going to be when the season actually starts up and I'm not just re-posting Deron's twitter updates.

Looks like Boozer has finally been traded. I wonder how much salmon we got back for him?

8_medium Someone needs to ask Deron if he's done more this off-season than he did last year for the Olympics. He'll be in Champaign today doing another golf tourney fund raiser as well as a dinner and auction.

Weird. Who knew there was another Mark Eaton that was also a public speaker?

I kissed a KOOF and I liked it. Man, I would have loved to have had a video of that.

i think the formula is something like this

danielle + kyle – love – cute : shums + THE KOOF

1. agreed — even ME, a guy who usually goes nuts posting in the off season (last year I think I had more posts in aug-oct then the rest of the season combined), is mailing it in this off-season

2. yeah, also got my hopes up too . . . grrr

8. also he’s blocking all the wrong people on twitter too !

4. very strange . . . does that other eaton also have a restaurant too?

5. I think America, brought up on puritan values, needs to grow up a bit. people of other cultures are less hung up about showing affection — even with the same gender — and still are hetero. why not here? (and un-ironically?)

Re #2

Boozer can’t be traded until I get up a counter to my “Lose The Booze” post (hopefully tonight/tomorrow). Sorry… just saying.

Impressive Streak

1. J. Rome’s “Rex Streak” has nothing on you BBJ.
2. This is the second time I’ve viewed this today. I wanted to believe it so badly that for a split second, I almost forgot that he was only traded to Juneau.
3. So, 8>3 on the court. What about off the court? I think the debate is just as interesting. Can you think of two better, more marketable guys? Seriously, I REALLY like Deron (not in the DanielleLovesKK way, although who knows … if he brings us a title …). What a great ambassador for the Jazz, nay, the state of Utah.
4. No comment. Seriously, just don’t know what to say.
5. The link to SLC Weekly didn’t work for me, and I prefer not to imagine what KK2 and BBJ locking lips looks like, not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Okay, the KK kissing link worked

I’m very relieved

remember (if you're old enough)

those bird/jordan mcdonald’s HORSE commercials? new ones starring dwill and cp3 would rock. and then you could get an up-and-coming pg (not rose because we hate him + we need someone with more personality) tagging along in the background a la chuck going “can i play?”

or maybe dwill and kk can just make their own ones.

Wait a minute...

- He’s encouraging kids to stay in school? Wasn’t Booz the first player in who knows how long to bail on playing all 4 years at Duke in order to enter the draft early? Uggh. Douche chills everywhere!
