Drinking Craig Sager
From TBJ listener, Nick:
Just got my shirt the other day, and it’s sweet. So as promised, here’s how to turn a Jäger-Bomb into a Sager-Bomb. Just add a bit of Pucker to the Red Bull to make it more ostentatious and fruity (like Sager’s wardrobe). I find that one of those small airline bottles is just the right amount. I recommend the red and blue varieties of Pucker for a great color when mixed with Red Bull. Some work better than others, but under no circumstances should you use the green (apple) Pucker. It looks really gross. The blue actually mixes to a very pleasant green color.
Cheers,
Nick
Comments (2)Are You A Homer?
Take off those rose-colored glasses and take a look around. Ya see that? That’s called reality, bub.
A homer is someone who just can’t see what’s really going on. A homer gets really, really high after a win, but forgets about a loss after a cuddly sleep with his/her team blankey. A homer crosses his/her fingers/toes on every free throw.
A homer is convinced Mike Dunleavy can be an All-Star. A homer thought the Trail Blazers had a shot at the postseason before the season started (a homer still thinks the Blazers can sneak in). A homer often uses the saying: “Oh ya, if everything goes right for us, we will surprise some people”. Um, no, you won’t.
Conversely, cheering for your favorite team does not make you a homer. Getting angry at boneheaded players does not make you a homer. Yelling at someone to get the hell out of the way if he/she is in front of the television is kosher. Thinking your team has a shot at trading for LeBron James doesn’t make you a homer, it makes you an idiot.
So, are you a homer?
Comments (15)Britney to Kobe: “I’m A Slave 4 U”
From the Los Angeles Times via MJD in the Haus:
Britney Spears was wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey the other night as a dress (photo) for a Lakers game along with two friends, who were wearing Chris Mihm and Luke Walton jerseys. I wonder where you can find a Mihm jersey these days?
At one point during the game, Spears and her two pals held up a sign that read: “We love you, Kobe, Chris and Luke.”
Um, yeah, I have nothing else to add to this. I really just wanted a reason to throw up a picture of a young, hot looking Spears. What the fuck happened to her? So sad.

(One love to SLAM(!) for half of the photo. I’ll let you guess which part.)
