I don't know how to swallow this because I worshiped Dr. J when I was young.

Fuck, are you serious?

I just got "Nevermind" on tape, too.

 

Reporting for duty...

 

great piece - pulled me all the way through. great photos, too. Friend consistently nails it, and did it again here.

 

He also denied paternity well into the 80s. I mean, geez, it's not like she looks like him or anything. I can see how Larry got away with that one.

She had a nice run at Wimbledon that year, didn't she?

Made for some nice college-era ethical discussions regarding athlete/journalist couplings.

 

How many times in interviews were they asked about each other and their relationship since Wimbeldon? In their eyes, things were very public already, and for these two, more public than many out there given her status as a professional athlete.

Oh, he's an asshole, like I said, but she's got issues herself.

 

Did you guys hear Larry Bird is transferring from Indiana?

There's a Corrie Bird-Batson registered to Facebook. Did she get married?

That doesn't look like dear old Dad walking her down the isle.

 

Did you friend her?

 

Wait...LUGGIE IS ON FACEBOOK?!!?

We gotta get Tom Friend on this.

Voiceover: She had no interest in joining Facebook. But it changed the life of Lugnuts as it allowed her to find the father she never knew she had...A.C. Green.
