@TiMB I'll probably use Obama's picks.

@dj idoltime Should've made the ears bigger.
@TiMB @dj idoltime And put in some underdogs that lose in round 1, like "common sense" or "the American people".

Think Steven Adams is gonna be my new Greg. Gotta be a proper fan of whichever NBA team drafts him.
@TiMB Does his sister come in a package deal? She might not have the size of an NBA big man, but she eats up space in the paint, is quick on her feet and has some serious strength to push back.
@Norsktroll @TiMB Among pro athlete sisters, I doubt she takes up as much space as Holley Mangold.
@AK1984 @Norsktroll Val could take out Mangold, no issues - http://arntrnassets.mediaspanonline.com/radio/s01/677113/valerie-adams-photosport.jpg
@AK1984 @TiMB She is 6'4" 260. So she has less weight but distributed over a bigger frame.
For those who missed/ignored it last time - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeB1UZ9Gok4
@TiMB sweet- now I can ignore it again!
@jakesnake99 Yay! He's awesome, right?
Posting in a dead DE is definitely gonna get a response.
@TiMB i actually watched it
Don't think you can have a better frame for being an NBA center than Adams has - http://netscoutsbasketball.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/adidasnations12Steven-Adams-Dwight-Howard.jpg
For all this talk about the most underrated Disney princess at BE, the cutest one of all, Aurora, has been altogether forgotten.
At this rate, she may as well be put to, uh, sleep. :)
Oh, and on that note, Kaley Cuoco made for a banging Sleeping Beauty on a recent episode of The Big Bang Theory.

@AK1984 Eww, Disney cosplay
@AK1984 Seems to be a thing. The little mermaid http://i.imgur.com/0jUTlvJ.jpg
Probably also for others.
@Norsktroll I'm not into cosplay personally, but I'd be down for that regardless.
Independent of what I actually think will happen, I gotta jump on the bandwagon with AK and root for the Zags. How can you not?
@jakesnake99 I know how - If you like Steven Adams more than the whole Gonzaga team. Gooooooooooo little bro!
@TiMB look past the Shockers at your own peril!
@jakesnake99 Gotta erase this memory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbRaRc9nxIw
@skywaker9 (David) i don't even want to watch that-- I was pulling for the Zags then, too.
@jakesnake99 I can't stand UCLA so I was too.
@jakesnake99 Go Zags indeed.
@jakesnake99 Gonzaga is my #1 team, but I'll switch over to Wisconsin if Pitt derails the Zags.
@AK1984 @jakesnake99 Also this pisses me off that Gus Johnson doesn't do tourney games anymore.
With all the confusion the NCAA has over what's the 1st round now, I've got a solution.
Call the play-in games the opening round, then call the round of 64 the regional octofinals, the round of 32 the regional quarterfinals, the Sweet 16 the regional semifinals, and the Elite 8 the regional finals.
@AK1984 The system I use to run my pool just says fuck it, its still the first round on Thursday/Friday, I agree.
Basically, I just want to see someone say "octofinals" on TV.
@AK1984 That term is used all the time in debate and never in any other tournament setting I've seen
@PaulMomo @AK1984 Soccer has an "8th final" in world champs, though I think US announcers say "round of 16".
K-MArt no likey the Clips: "
Kenyon Martin doesn't think much of the Los Angeles Clippers, or of their chances of making a deep run in the NBA playoffs.
Martin, who played for the Clippers last season, and against them on Sunday as a member of the New York Knicks, told reporters that the Clippers' uptempo "Lob City" offense is destined to fail in the postseason, when halfcourt sets reign supreme.
“You can’t do it in the playoffs, so it don’t matter,” Martin said, according to The New York Times. “In the regular season it’s all up and down, man. We know the way the game goes in the regular season.”"
Who's excite for "Selection Monday" tomorrow... which other #1 seed will be on Baylor's side of the bracket? Can anyone take out one of the big 4? What seed will the Delle Donnes get?
I still enjoy hating UConn, rooting for Stanford and Tara Vanderveer (who could coach circles around Jonny Dawkins), watching Griner, Diggins and Delle Donne, etc, though.
@jakesnake99 I'm not super stoked on women's college hoops to begin with given my general apathy towards college hoops, but the consistent top-heaviness really kills it for me
@PaulMomo yeah, in any given year there are only 5 teams at most who could realistically win it all, and this year there are probably only 3.
Talking about hair, there was a time when Rik Smits was bald and Zydrunas Ilgauskas had hair.
http://i.imgur.com/9Lq0EG2.jpg
@AK1984 Could Ilgauskas jump before he had 5 consecutive years of foot surgery? I only remember him after
@PaulMomo I always remember him being slow, but I could be wrong.
@AK1984 whoa, trippy
dang, Cornell hockey lost in double OT-- what a strange best of 3 series... 1-goal win, 10-0 loss, double OT loss.
I've been doing a little (emphasis on little) more Olynyk research. I see that nbadraft.net lists Fab Oberto as one of his NBA comps. Does this mean that if we draft him, he'll retire due to a heart condition, then sign with the Spurs?
@Dan_tm Based on this logic, he is just as likely to start doing rants on tinychat in the middle of the night.
SIGN THIS KID
Also, when I do a google image search for Olynyk, about the 30th picture to come up is Ammo.
@Dan_tm it's based on hair and hair alone
yes, as we all know, dudes with dreads can only be comp'd to other dudes with dreads. same thing here.
@jakesnake99 Can't wait 'til some young 7-footer grows a mullet, so I can compare him to Dwayne Schintzius.
@PaulMomo Fab's hair is much darker. That's a shitty comp. Maybe Amundson?
@AK1984 @Dan_tm @PaulMomo I had to like this because it made me chuckle. Nice work.
@Dan_tm @PaulMomo In this photo, it looks like he's jerking off into the basket.

@Dan_tm @PaulMomo Don't forget Walter "Fabio" Herrmann.
