Ground Stops For Free…

9:28 a.m. — Airplane, Seat 23D

Not off to a good start. My flight was suppose to leave at 8:15, but it’s now 9:30 and I’m still stuck sitting on the tarmac in Toronto. Yeah, rumor has it that there are snakes on our plane. No, apparently there ‘s some type of ground stop in NYC and no aircraft are allowed to depart for there. Anyway, the husky, baritoned voice over the P.A. system is telling me it’ll be another 40-to-45 minutes so, we’ll see. I highly doubt it.

Update: 11:25 a.m. — Toronto Pearson Airport, Molson Pub

I knew it! The flight was cancelled and I’ve had to re-book. Earliest flight I could score was a 3:30. Oh the joy of being stuck in an airport all day. F-bomb! Sigh. I better go eat some chicken fingers before I go all Michael Douglas-Falling Down on somebody’s ass. Be back soon…

    your running coverage of the draft seems to be a tad more detailed than your friend mr. simmons.

    This 2-day live-blog just screams of “upside”…

    well it definately seems to have tremendous upside potential. Make sure to note anybody you see who appears “long”

    “F-bomb.” Thank you for not spelling that out. That was considerate. Big Brother is watching. Or at least he may be.

    Regardless, the SBL crew patiently awaits your arrival at the “war room” here in Draft City, although by the time you get here we may need to rendevouz at the 40/40 Club, which Jose Canseco, Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez are lifetime members at.

    Until then, could you just give us a little taste of Skeets… What are you going to ask J.J. Redick if you bump into him on the dancefloor?

    jamie, that’s an easy one…”how is it going to feel to be the only guy left in the green room?”

    Making fun of JJ is always fun, no matter how played out it is. Oh wow, 40/40 club eh, stop by the SLAM office if you can and try to see if Lang’s in.
