George Bush to Iraqi reporter:  "Who throws a shoe?  Honestly, you fight like a woman!  Yeah, baby!"  

I was impressed with what I saw from Jerryd Bayless last night, especially for a guy who can't even crack the Portland rotation.  Blake and Rodriguez better stay healthy -- if either one ever gets hurt and gives Bayless a spot in the rotation, they'll never get him out again.

[quote user="dj_doc"] They use "acceptance of Creationism/rejection of evolution" as a litmus test for nominees (In the primaries, they had the Republican candidates go in a circle and each one said that they supported Creation, and not evolution. Everyone was afraid to say anything bad about Creationism... Are you KIDDING ...

On Chad Ford's ESPN.com chat, he said he thinks one of the West Conference playoff teams will sign Miles purposely to keep Portland from signing a top free agent and becoming a bigger competitor.  San Antonio and New Orleans are a couple of teams that might fill this bill, and also have a use for Miles as a player.  New Orleans' ...

The Celtics beat the Cavaliers by two tonight in Providence.  The Big Three didn't play after the 1st quarter, and LeBron didn't play after halftime.  The Celtics scrubs made a comeback in the fourth quarter with swarming defense that the Cavs' third string couldn't overcome.  The Celtics got 25 from Tony Allen, who ...

[quote user="Yeast"] Of course, the other side of the coin is the massive disadvantage Obama is at simply because he is black.  I saw an AP/Yahoo poll where 8% of white voters would simply not vote for a black candidate.  And, these are just the voters who are creepy enough to actually admit that to a pollster - I'm sure ...

The Celtics opened the exhibition season tonight by losing 98-92 to Philly at UMass.  The Celtics were up 14 in the middle of the third quarter, and the starters apparently thought the game was over and started throwing nonchalant passes, mostly to the Sixers.  In the fourth, no one on the second unit could create any offense.  ...
