Okay, just for the hell of it, I'm gonna make a post today that vaguely has to do with sports.
Most sports interviews (interviews, not press conferences) are bad. However, every once in a while, there's a one-on-one that imparts a delicious nugget of entertainment. Jim Gray-Pete Rose was interesting. Suzy Kolber-Joe Namath was hilarious. My favorite might be the underappreciated playoff interview between Craig Sager and Kevin Garnett from a couple years ago. Jackson knows what I'm talking about. WE'RE LIKE YOU IN THIS SUIT!!! So why do I bring this up now? Well, as it so happens, and in case you missed it, Sager and Garnett had another little run-in last week that I've been meaning to write about. It was immediately following the Wolves win over the Cavs in the last game before the break. The interview started off just how you would expect any post-game interview to go. But just when Sager was about to send it back upstairs, Garnett interrupted and asked him, "You just had a little girl, right?" A confused Sager replied, "Uh, yeah." At this point, I think to myself, "I guess Craig's wife must have just had a baby. And KG's gonna congratulate him. That's nice." I was only half right. Garnett screams out, "I TOLD YOU YOU CAN'T MAKE BOYS!!" and walked away.
"Man, we don't care what ANYBODY thinks! We're like you in this suit, man, we don't CARE what NOBODY THINKS!"
If had had the good fortune of seeing KG shout at Saigs "I TOLD YOU YOU CAN'T MAKE BOYS," I would have started squealing and humping my pillow like a drunk Verne Troyer.
(TWO VERNE TROYER REFERENCES IN THE LAST THREE DAYS!?! That beats our old record of ... zero. Still, I'm giddy. He can't ride a horse or pee in a toilet, but he will DRINK YOUR ASS UNDER THE TABLE!!!
YEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAHH!!! Oh sorry, that was Howard Dean. My bad.)
Even though I work developing software 50 hours a week, I've actually lost some of my nerdiness along the way. I only posted a 75%, but I know I could have easily put up a 90% three years ago. I'm slipping! I'm so ashamed...
THE eBLOGGY ARCHIVE NOTE: eBloggy died and then came back to life. Now the punctuation is all screwed up on our old bits. Also, the layout and everything is ugly. Don't judge us.
