    A football team that can establish the run

    The Buick Open at Warwick Hills in Grand Blanc, MI with all the atmosphere an drunkenness of a college football game (especially the rowdy, blue collar 17th green and their patron saint, Jon Daly)

    knowing that anywhere in the state of Michigan on a summer evening, I could turn on my radio and hear Ernie calling the Tigers game

    For chrissakes.

    Let's see: Nash and Nowitzki account for half of the six most recent MVP awards; one third of this year's 12 man West All Star roster (Love, Nowitzki, Gasol and Ginobli) were pale faces; Kevin Love just had the single greatest rebounding season ANY player has had since the prime days of Dennis Rodman while ALSO averaging over 20 ppg in scoring--just a STAGGERINGLY impressive statistical season; Nash just won the assist title for something like the 6th time in the last 8 years; and there's been at least one white player named First or Second team All NBA for TEN STRAIGHT YEARS now.

    Yet you're somehow convinced that a white player will NEVER be First Team All-NBA EVER again?

    Seriously, you're a moron, Mark. And not just because of your obsessive and constant bent for racial stereotyping, but because so many of your posts are just plain dumb. And you're the worst kind of message board moron: the one that doesn't realize he's a moron and thinks he's posting smart thoughts.

    I was going to post a rebuttal to this, but Stoney has it covered.

    Also, I was shocked! to see this from you on the hockey thread:

    These two working a game together one last time. Thanks again, network TV greed, for ruining the soundtrack of countless summers.
