CarnEvil of the NBA Thirty Seven

powered by ODEO

Welcome my friends. Not two weeks removed from Halloween and I've got some abhorrent stories to tell you about recent perversions and parlor tricks undertaken within our dearly beloved Association. Be leery of your surroundings at all times, is an intense show not for the faint-hearted. The Carnival is effervescent since the somewhat braggadocious snap to the Suns losing streak when Pat Burke's subs dropped a healthy lead in the most bizarre fashion, yet ultimately ending our glorious 2-5 start.

I like to thank the authoritative association's agenda for giving our team a delightful vacation in Europe filled with many croissants, delightful pastries and all the pasta and kielbasa they can eat. That and opening with four games in five nights followed by another back-to-back against Western Conference Superpower Spurs and Mavericks.

This group of entertainers have taken it upon themselves to sell tell you some things today. Watch out for what you say on these unholy grounds, they have a penchant for quarreling with principles not savored with precedence. You must understand that these peddlers are often times battling severe alcohol affixiation, that stink may be 24/7 NBA basketball eminating from their pores or it could just be last night's dosage. Here it is folks, it comes around every so often and you better not miss the 37th edition of the Carnival of the NBA. Be careful where you walk.

The most important issue at hand is the new no-tolerance policy no-excitement policy. Stern and his cronies have gone too far this time and effectively taken the passion out of games instead of all the incessant bitching of the Tim Duncan's and Kobe Bryant's of the lig. Superstars continue to bitch while the meer semblance of frustration warrants a tek.

Need4Sheed wants to put a stop to such fascism and is circulating a petition so that we can continue to enjoy the characters who work in the NBA. Sheed needs to be able to bust on dudes in pink shirts. "You know what they say about a man in a pink shirt right?"
