The Sicatoka

LA had no answer for the "four letter words" (Kane, Shaw, Saad) in the third and the are still buzzing in OT. Lots and lots of stuff that's not being called. Sharp still on the side of a milk carton. And ... welcome to OT number two ...

Spelling bee?

And now "King James" does a pre-game locker room interview with a t-shirt that says "White Hot". Are those "code words" for "angry white man" and LeBron is stereotyping? Is this something a Caucasian should take offense at? http://www.nba.com/heat/news/white-hot-2014-heat-playoffs

I thought he got a big contract from Speedo after his time as a Badger student-athlete.

Masterfully played.

The Fargo Forum reprinted this as their lead editorial in Saturday's paper: http://www.latimes.com/opinion/editorials/la-ed-graduation-speeches-canceled-commencement-sp-20140519-story.html I wonder if the Forum (and the Herald, also a Forum Comm outlet) see the sweet irony in their running article and article and editorial and editorial effectively promoting the idea of censorship on campus, and then running that piece (from the LA Times) that ends with: I wonder if the NCAA has a subscription to the LA Times.

Don't fear The Reaper ... because in the end, The Reaper takes it all. Just accept it.

Reaper. Reaper. Reaper. Reaper.

And yet still no retort or rebuttal to the following:

That really wasn't his finest work.

Was it thrashers ... or Reapers.

I'm trying to come up with a nickname related to Orion the Hunter. That's the constellation that appears in in mid-August, dominates the fall and winter and spring, but is out of sight by late April, until the following August. They put Orion into the ship's patch for the USS NORTH DAKOTA.

I'd call Mark Cuban honest. PS - Mark, you can't solve it until you can solve the mysteries of the human heart and mind.

Still nothing dismantling this posit.

No, that Senator was from West Virginia.

Evil spells? I thought when they renamed them Wizards the urine smell in DC back alleys would increase.

Viva Las Vegas!

I fully expect to see a resolution in this Congress, soon, that includes the phrase, "Because Brawndo's got electrolytes." If you don't get the reference, Google it.

Why not just have UND host at Target?

Yup. That undercut his own (pretty good and logical at the time) story.

Actually, he should be representing the good People of Steele County. They have brought murder charges against a Finley resident in the death of her husband. Signed, A guy who can drive to Finley without a map or GPS.

I'm sad. I put this out there hoping it would be ripped to shreds; but, a page and a half later and it still seems to stand on it's own merit.

No, that's brutally honest assessment.

Gene Taylor would be much more credible in all of this save for: - Taylor proposed a plan, Faison accepted, Taylor backed out of his own offer <-- some would say Taylor reneged on a handshake agreement; poor form in North Dakota - the home and home he's since scheduled with Weber State <-- don't even try to tell me that a home Weber State game is more valuable than a home UND game to NDSU; and the return game vs UND would be more cost effective (bus, no flight) for NDSU as well; so much for the 'economic circumstances' argument posed Those two pesky details hurt Taylor's credibility. Taylor would be better served to just stand up and say he'll never schedule UND under his watch.

Dare I say ... because ... here's why: A lot of energy and focus is spent on that game. And with that comes fatigue and injury as well.
