I’m sorry basketball. I’ll never stray again.

I came home last night from covering the wildest hockey game I’ve seen all year, thinking that I’d gotten all the excitement I could hope for watching a near goalie brawl (not shown in the video) in the midst of this (***Disclaimer: this is the only time I’ll put hockey highlights up here. Unless it’s some NHL guy saying that he can play ball***):

Little did I know that the NBA felt my betrayal and in turn acted like a jealous girlfriend, flaunting its best qualities to get my attention back. First, TJ Ford played for the Raps last night in Miami:

Deron Williams said to Chris Paul, “Hey Chris Paul, I’m the best pg in the league. Eat these crossovers and take an ass-whupping back to New Orleans. Have fun at the all-star game, you d*ck.”

Travis Outlaw had a nasty dunk against Denver last night, but I can’t find video of it. Enjoy these while they’re still up.

And basketball, I’m sorry. It meant nothing to me, I did it for the money.

  • I’m the worst Canadian ever. The hockey video? It bored me. All I could think was “How can so many women find these fights attractive?”

    Then I watched the TJ Ford video. Three times. And each time I watched it, my eyes bugged out.

    For the Outlaw dunk, did the commentator make any really bad jokes about it? For example “He just Outlawed the rim!!!!”

  • I didn’t hear any Outlaw puns. Outlaw should totally get his name tatted on his stomach in an arching pattern, ala tupac.

  • Just wanted to add that I was very ho-hum about the fighting until it looked like the goalies were going to meet at centre ice. That caught my attention.

  • That’s too bad. With a last name like “Outlaw” there are a lot of potential puns that would make a viewer groan. If only Swirsky had been calling that game. . .

    Also. You just used the phrase “ho-hum.”

    That’s awesome.
