Just barely 2 minutes in, but you’s guys’s voices sound like it’ll be a good show. Leon Powe’s last name is pronounced Poe, like Edgar Allen. Tas rapping made me embarrassed, I don’t know why or for who.
Just a suggestion that may be impossible to implement - how about allowing the listeners to comment without it opening a new page and thus stopping the website player? I know there are ways around this, like right clicking open a new tab and such, but I’m sometimes lazy and forgetful.
No, no, no … POW!
Kidd for TJ, Dixon and Joey :)
For all you Americans reading. A Caesar is a Bloody Mary (I had to use google) and I recommend adding a little lime to change up the drink a little bit.
Leon POW! I almost fell out of my chair, my coworkers gave me a strange look.
I haven’t listened yet, but I’m in Tax Law drooling over the Caesars. So, just to clear things up, a Caesar is similar, but not the same as a Blood Mary. A Caesar uses Clamato juice instead of Tomato juice.
The worst part about getting Bowened during the game was that I couldn’t get boned after.
Something tells me that the traumatic weekend in Cleveland had to do with someone from the Melas party ending up looking down the barrel of a gun.
Or a cock.
Ahhh MattO I’ve always used Clamato for my Bloody Mary’s, my world is rocked.
Also: Can it really be called the TBJ “store” if there’s only one item? I’d like a link to someplace I can pick up a ball claw or two.
So you guys are having trouble moving the shirts eh? well check this marketing strategy out: why don’t you guys offer to throw in a pair of Starbury’s with as part of the deal. The stuff will sell itself you can’t go wrong!
Moon = Eddie Robinson…Dwight’s got the Dunk Contest on lock.
holy fuck, those look delicious….
They were … even at night!
Upon actually listening to the show, I have realized that all information I previously gave is useless. Apologies.
I now realize that I should do my drinking in Canada.
My girlfriend is going to be pissed about potential clamato stains on the couch.
A motivated Jason Kidd combined with a Kobe or Dirk would be very dangerous in the playoffs.
Any trade with Kidd would most likely need a 3rd party to facilitate it. they are some rumors of a Dallas, Portland, NJ trade, but they are probably just rumors. http://www.northjersey.com/sports/nets/14896561.html
btw, i totally called the Damon ‘moving to a contender’ about two months ago on this site.
For the +21 crowd …

Horseradish can (and should) come into play too
I get a lot of guff for drinking bloodies after 4 p.m.
yes, that’s right- guff!
It all depends on when you actually wake up.
I drink them only after noon…that’s right, screw you JD!!
Bloody Mary: The official drink of American TBJ fans
@ J.E. you could also consider it a recipe for the 19+ crowd…
No love for Parker’s Peterson DeJa Vu mild heart attack moment last night? That’s right, it’s because they didn’t win because Mitchell doesn’t know how to coach a team to victory.
Anyway, in honour of TheBasketballJones, The dope boys of the year, Caesar’s on the house (we in the house!)
i cant wait to dip into the caesar’s tonight
i also hear this bmatthews character is a knicks fan. tied with 5 mins left and they somehow manage to lose by 11, giving me a parlay hit. thank god for the knicks
JE: that recipe sounds more disgusting than going down on Rosie O’Donnell after a Pilates class. I think it probably smells and looks the same too.
Seriously, how many people do you know who drink tomato juice? I asked 6 people this morning and only one drinks it and she cant remember the last time she swallowed the stuff.
For a summer day, nothing beats a cold sangria.
The great thing about it is you can use the cheapest wine and booze you have since the fruits, ice and sugar would make the difference. Its the ‘everything but the kitchen sink’ recipe that you cant go wrong with.
Of course, men drink booze straight up.
No froofroo veggies or fruits. No umbrellas or sugary/salty rim jobs.
Shot glass + booze: That’s all you need to drink.
Bourbon, real vodka, cognac, grappa, slivovitze. moonshine and most hard booze not named schnapps.
Add water to it and I’ll openly question your manhood. Ice can be accepted under certain circumstances like health problems, death in the family and very few others.
You people are animals, heathens. Any good Bloody Mary, and its Canadian brother, the Caeser, needs a pickle, as well as pickle juice if there’s any left in the jar after a the first round of Bloody Mary’s. Celery looks nice, sure, but the pickle is a bartending secret that chases away hangovers and provides a little nourishment on a rough morning.
