    Anybody say "The Mayor" Fred Hoiberg yet? I always thought that one was outstanding.

    he has his schtick and he does it... but at least it's his

    i find him amusing


    do you really hate him or do you enjoy hating him?

    It was prolly seeing that vid of him throwing that huge condescending tantrum that pushed me towards disliking him, but at some point I just started gettin annoyed by him.

    hmmmm... good point

    but i'm sure many TV people are pricks in real life ;)

    Ole,

    Ole,
    Ole...

    That well known song/chant was first used by Manchester United fans for their player, Ole Gunnar Solskjær. I looked him up on Wikipedia only to find that he actually had a nick-name (and an amazing career to go with it):


    the baby-faced-assassin

    "Ole Gunnar Solskjær (born 26 February 1973 in Kristiansund, Møre og Romsdal) is a Norwegian football manager and former footballer who spent most of his career playing for Manchester United. In January 2011, he became the manager of his former club Molde. Often dubbed "the baby-faced assassin", he played 366 times for the Red Devils and scored 126 goals during a very successful period for the club. He was recognised as a "super sub" for his knack of coming off the bench to score late goals. Solskjær's defining moment in football came in injury time of the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final where he scored the winning last-minute goal against Bayern Munich, completing a remarkable comeback and winning The Treble for United."

    hot sauce is hitting a three ;) king gave deng some hot sauce last night. pip tried to give kyle some hot sauce on a two point shot and king was all over pip for that. :lol: it's a shame the national guys are taking all the rest of the games. no more local broadcasts until next season

    that is a shame...i love king, but funk is losing it i think- called mcroberts hansboro and vice versa several times this series...

    what will be a bigger shame is when king moves on to espn or tnt...pip is decent but there is no comparison

    pip is still new. he's more serious than king. i'd like to hear pip do an entire game as the only color guy once.

    i didn't notice the mc hans switch, but did notice him calling brewer deng and saying so and so checked in for somebody, than that somebody was still on the floor. getting names wrong drives me nuts. local guys should never screw up the local players.

    I only read the first two thirds of the page before deciding to reply. Serves me right for being too lazy to read the other three posts.
