Lunch sez he's outta here.

dB

Sure. You're on.

I'm thinking Willy's Smokehouse.

dB

I think someone wishes he could have eaten in Nashville last week.

That looks kinda awesome... Have you been there?

Agent: Nash accepting Suns' $22M extension

More than once.

Am I the only one who thinks Artest in LA has the possibility of disaster for the Lakers?

No, you're not.

dB

I posted a link about that previously in this thread. The author essentially said that none of the other 29 teams could defeat the Lakers, so the Lakers were going to do it themselves, from the inside.

Oooooooooooooooh. That place looks great. Next time I'm visiting the Large Client in Westlake Village, I might have to suggest that for lunch.

What's your faves? What do you recommend?

Ribs, of course...and either the brisket or pulled pork sandwiches....

dB

Aw hell. Now my lunch seems weak and worthless.

Yes, but how do your Lakers seem?

Best,

Geoff

Eerily similar.

(sorry, I couldn't help but swing at that softball)

A touch more insane, but still the best bet to win it all. I guess we'll know soon enough.

Geoff

That is hilarious.

I must have seen 20 versions of that Hitler subtitled piece applied to various topics, and this one takes the cake by a mile. Awesome!

Hey, did I tell you I saw Lamar Odom in my neighborhood not long ago? He lives up the road from me in Manhattan Beach, and there I was on my front porch when I saw a) an incredibly nice high-end Mercedes pull up at the mini-mall across the street, and b) an equally incredibly tall man with a shaved head and a familiar face get out of the car and stop by a shop before getting back in the car and leaving.

Despite my Laker fandom, it still took me a few minutes to place him. When you see an athlete out of context (i.e., on your street, not wearing a uni or sweats or something familiar), your brain denies what your eyes are telling you.

Was it a candy store???

I knew someone was going to ask that. The actual answer was even worse. I'm sure he was going into the smoke shop to buy a gift for a friend.

Kobe says he's optimistic Odom will be back.

Hope so.

Andre Miller to the Blazers

That should work out nicely for Portland.

dB

No.

It'll probably work out just fine, but....he's Ron Artest. You never know.

Not sure about his or Ariza's agents. Anyway, I hope Lamar comes back.
