by: Paul Miles

Instead of posting, I slept. Sleep > You. Not that I don't have mad love for you guys, I just have more love for sleep.

That established, let's get into today's skip pass.

:: Real GM: Brown Blames 9/11 And Injuries For Bronze In 2004 - This is me sighing heavily. 9/11, really, Larry? Sorry all those innocent people dying inconvenienced you. -1 rep to Larry Brown.

:: A Stern Warning: Jose Calderon: Spain Would Have Won Under FIBA Rules - Jose, miho. Let me holler at you for a second. You lost in one of the most exciting games in recent history. And one of the best Olympic games...since '72 maybe. Take the L with some pride, man.

:: Sporting News: Yao's Post-Olympic Blues: 'Is My Life Over?' - Poor, Yao. No, seriously. Dude carried these Olympics on his shoulders for four years. He's totally serious about being an ambassador for China and basketball. Now the biggest deal in his life is over, and all he has to look forward to is to make ridiculous amounts of money and try to win an NBA championship in Texas.

:: Basketbawful: Flying High with Kareem Abdul Jabbar - I always figured Kareem would be co-piloting any flight he took. But apparently when Kareem goes slummin' dude goes slummin'.

:: Inside Hoops: Airline loses Ginobili’s luggage - Probably flying American Airlines. Sorry, Manu.

:: Slam Online: Last Goodbye, Seattle - Matt Caputo puts a nice little post script on big-time basketball in Seattle with a chance meeting with Knicks' guard Jamal Crawford.

:: The Sports Count: Tony Parker Raps Je Suis Desole (via: John Rillie) - Attention French people. Quit rapping. You're bad at it. For real. Nobody wants to hear flow in French. Just cause you can get Jamie Foxx on your album doesn't mean you have to put down an album.


When I say 'Mali', ya'll say "BOO!"
