coming up now.... on TNT, check your local listings.

The player who just set up the clip cited both "hope" and "change" in his message.

Cant tell me OUR guy isn't popular. ;)

ETA: If you missed it, here's the video....

6. used to be a bigtime sports fan - now not so much

but I do still pay peripheral attention. I had no idea their all-star game was on. I don't know who does publicity for the NBA but they have gone from a big TV presence to having their all-star game on a small cable channel. I think they need a new guy.

7. One of the TNT announcers just pointed out to McCain that he lost he lost the election...

..... twice ..... pointing out to the Senator (whom he was interviewing) "Senator Obama ..... who's the President now" and "Senator McCain, now that you have all of this free time, maybe you can help coach the Suns?"
