It’s Saturday. The brain cells lost on Friday night have not regenerated. So, the pain I felt as I read, yet another, column* from our favorite vertically challenged pundit comparing, by not comparing, the Jordan lead Dream Team to this year’s Olympic model, is understandable.

However, today I was assisted in this endeavor by a very nice 11 year old girl who loves sports. Hi Latisha! Anyway, she pointed out that today’s swill read like a cleaned up text message. One quick trip through Google and WHAM! (a common exclamation and still his* favorite boy band), we were able to reconstruct the message back to its original form before some poor shmuck of a beat reporter brought it back near the English language.

Jay on the Dream Team versus the Redeem Team;

It just rolls of the tongue, doesn’t it? You can just sense the literary skill involved in every, well conceived, thought. Well, okay, you can’t and neither can anyone else. But, as I said, it’s Saturday. So let’s have a little fun.

Jay on the Carmello Anthony tirade and, while not comparing it to the Dream Team since he* says that would be wrong, he* compares it to the Dream Team’s members. Which I guess is okay.

RATHAR ABSURDLEY ANTHONY HAD 2 B RASTRANEED FROM CONFRONTNG CARLOS DELFINO BY FOUR TAMMAETS WHICH WAS VAGUELEY R3MINISCANT OF TEH 198 NBA FINALS 3PISODA WHEN JORDAN AND SCOTEI PIPEN AL BUT TAKL3D D3NIS RODMAN 2 PR3VANT HIM FROM AN ATAK AND AJACTION
!!!!!1!!! OMG WTF LOL

Well, I am certainly ROFLMAO now and I hope you are too.

Keeping in mind that he* has already demanded that we not compare the Dream Team to the Redeem Team, we are treated to this (not reconstructed) bit of a head twister. Read it, read it again and then tell me - in 500 words or less - what it means.

Whatever the margin, let the Redeemers enjoy their triumph without grand comparisons. They are what they are, the team that rescued basketball in America, far from the one that propelled it like no other.

Here’s what we got; he* is saying that the Redeem Team is doing what the Dream Team did only they are not as good as the Dream Team so they can’t be doing what the Dream Team did and then .....

Not even noon and I am already opening my first bottle of bourbon for the day.

Okay, there is already a thread going on in the forum, so CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE, LOL, FUN!
