Do I Need A Draft Suit?

OK, its official Internet peeps: I’m going to the NBA Draft.

Yeah, I’m not quite sure how, but I’ve somehow — probably mistakenly* — been invited by the fine folks at AOL Sports to fly down to New York to help “cover” the NBA Draft.

Now before you go gettin’ all pissy — I know, I know — why in the world (wide web) would AOL Sports ever decide to take me? Um, I’ve got no idea. I mean, let’s break it down for a second: I know very little about college ball, I don’t update this site nearly as often as I should, and well, let’s be honest, me righting be not so good. Oh, all that, and I’m Canadian! Gasp!

But whatever, I’m going and it’s going to be awesome. The plan is that I’m going to try and live-blog the whole adventure, from door-to-MSG-to-door. I’ve got an iBook, a Mini-DVD camcorder, a digital camera, and an umbrella in case of rain/Reddick. I’m all set.

So, tomorrow morning… you, me, and an 8 a.m. United Airlines flight. Whatta say?

* $10 says some new, AOL intern accidentally typed J.E. Skeets instead of J.A. Adande.

Born Inside The Winter Wind…

First off, no, I’m not dead. The TBJ servers were tired yesterday so I told them to take the day off. They went to the beach, sipped margaritas, watched some soccer; made the most of it I’d say. They feel good now.

Second, I’ve been layin’ low for the last little while because I’ve been preparing for something like Saer Sene’s wingspan. Yes, big. Now I don’t want to give away to much information — you know, in case this chance completely blows up in my face — but let’s just say, if this thing happens, it’ll be at least half as cool as the Who Shot Mamba? movie project.

In fact, if I had to use another movie to describe this “big news” of mine, I’m pretty sure I’d go with Jim Varney’s 1987 classic, Ernest Goes To Camp. Yeah, goose bumps, people. Goose. Bumps.

All right, that’s all you get for now. Stay tuned Internet peers.

[Note: I’d probably substitute ‘Skeets’ for ‘Ernest’ and ‘the NBA Draft’ for ‘Camp’. But hey, that’s just me…]

Raptors Win Draft Lottery!

But hold on a sec — it is technically impossible for us to pick Araujo again, right?

Right?
