1. How would you make a preseason NBA game more entertaining?
|
Phil Thompson: Roller skates. |
|
Georgia Garvey: Two words: Donkey juggling. |
|
Alex Quigley: Make it an NHL game? |
|
Jimmy Greenfield: I'd watch it with Bill Murray and change the channel right when it starts. |
|
Bag Boy: Rock N Jock. I know you remember! |
2. Why is the NBA regulating pregame handshakes?
|
|
Phil Thompson: David Stern must think players do some elaborate jive ritual like it's 1978. |
|
|
Georgia Garvey: Because they don't believe the free market will correct all handshake inequities. |
|
|
Alex Quigley: So David Stern can yell "Regulatooooorrrs ... MOUNT UP!" every night. |
|
|
Jimmy Greenfield: Cooties! |
|
|
Bag Boy: The Oklahoma City Thunder were taking 90 minutes with their "routines." Enough! |
3. How high on your radar is the NHL lockout right now?
|
|
Phil Thompson: OK, you know how high Felix Baumgartner started? The lockout is about where he landed. |
|
|
Georgia Garvey: It's flying pretty much completely under my radar. Maybe if I were Kaner's bartender, I'd care more. |
|
|
Alex Quigley: Felix Baumgartner-esque. |
|
|
Jimmy Greenfield: 24 miles high. And if the lockout doesn't end soon, I'm plunging back to Earth. |
|
|
Bag Boy: Right down there with the WNBA Finals. See? You didn't know that was going on either! |
4. An athlete flirting with fans during a game is like ...
|
|
Phil Thompson: ... Beyonce auditioning for "American Idol." |
|
|
Georgia Garvey: ... an Illinois governor going to prison. If it surprises you, you haven't been paying attention. |
|
|
Alex Quigley: ... the entire career of Mark Grace? |
|
|
Jimmy Greenfield: ... a Five on Five writer flirting with his readers. Thank God my wife doesn't read this. |
|
|
Bag Boy: ... pathetic, Alex Rodriguez. Pathetic. Now you're hitless in two areas. |
5. Why is Josh Beckett protecting ocelots?
|
|
Phil Thompson: Because he drives a Jaguar? I got nothing. |
|
|
Georgia Garvey: Because he's a complete and total badass. No snark here. That is just cool. |
|
|
Alex Quigley: Because someone is playing the worst game of Mad Libs ever. |
|
|
Jimmy Greenfield: Years ago, an ocelot removed a thorn from Beckett's paw. |
|
|
Bag Boy: The guy doesn't care about baseball while in Boston but he cares about this? I give up. |
