Thanks for nothing, ESPN. (Weekly B!tch Thread)

[RhymesayersDU]

Showing the Sebastian Telfair movie at the same time as the Sopranos? Freakin' WEAK.

I know that nobody around these parts will care about that movie, but I'm looking forward to it, and they are showing it march 12th, the night of the Sopranos. The only good thing is that it will be replayed a bunch, so I suppose I'll have to record it on the DVR.

Use this thread to b!tch about something. Or don't. Either way.

I thought this was going to be another mike an mike in the morning bitch fest...

[PLOWHORSE]

You are absolutely right Rhyme.......




Most of us don't care about the movie. Cannot wait for Sopranos though.:thumbs:

[Mile High Shack]

ok, who cares about a soon to be unemployed scrub sitting on the Portland bench? (after his rookie contract runs out, it's doubtful he gets resigned)

[Crushaholic]

Who cares about either one of them? The Flavor of Love finale is Sunday...:thumbs:

I've just heard really good things about the movie, it's won some awards, etc. I don't care about Telfair per se, but it's supposed to be a good movie for basketball fans.

aaa ok

I was worried about you, I know you dig NBA basketball, but Telfair is a scrub

Yeah, to be honest I don't know much about him other than he's Marbury's cousin or something, and he came out of high school. I haven't even seen him play outside of the times that Portland and Denver play.

But it's supposed to be a good movie. Ah well, nothing is worth missing the Sopranos. It's going to be awesome.

Soprano's sucks. The only people that watch it are social losers who have no life.

I recommend you read the book "The Last Shot", its chronicles the dreams of four players from Coney Island, the same area where Telfair is from.

Its from the 91-92 season and the team is Abraham Lincoln HS and focuses on three seniors from that team and a freshman named Stephon Marbury.

Probably the best book I've read.

Its heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.

Its a good read for basketball enthusiasts and for those that want to understand the inner-city and the kids that come out of their.

It was written by Darcy Frey.

I've visited the Coney Island playgrounds where these guys hoop and its great hoops to watch.

Thanks for the recomendation. While we're on basketball books, I would suggest reading The Last Amateurs and The Punch, both by John Feinstein.

TLA chronicles a season in the life of the Patriot League, a very small division I conference with teams like army, navy, lafayette, etc. It's about the players, how they play for pride mainly, how they're students first, etc etc. Great read.

The Punch is about Kermit Washington/Rudy T.

Both great books. I'm gunna check out The Last Shot, sounds cool.

I've read the Last Amateurs. Good book and I'm rooting for Bucknell again this year.

I know somewhere down the line I will read the Punch.

Did you all see "Hoop Dreams?"

Did you all see "Hoop Dreams?"

Yep, saw it the first day it came out. I was 14.

That sucks. I was actually feeling like my life was starting to make sense. Damn you Sopranos!

[Boobs McGee]

Two of the best basketball movies I've seen are Hooked and Rebound. Two of the most talented basketball players to never play in the NBA. I'd recommend em both, but I thought Hooked was better

[Pezman]

Its all about the bada bing man. Screw the mouse network and their lame ass sports shows. Gimme some mob violence anytime over that crap.

But, look at it this way Rhymes, at least you'll miss the eleventy-billion promos for Sportscenter that day right?
