Billingsley Breaks Leg Slipping on Ice; Southern California Asks: What is this "Ice" Stuff?

Watch that first step, Chad. It’s a doozy. Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s cool that you want to kick it old school in Reading, Pennsylvania but seriously man there are plenty of nice spots you can hang out in the off season where you’d never have to shovel your driveway or scrape your windshield. And maybe, just maybe it would be a good idea to live in a city that actually has a hospital. From Wikipedia:

Since the November, 2006 relocation of St. Joseph’s Medical Center, Reading no longer has any hospitals within its city limits. There are, however, two hospital satellites in downtown Reading: The Reading Hospital Health Dispensary on Penn Street, and St. Joseph’s Medical Center Community Campus on 6th Street.

According to our friend at Cot’s, C. Bill is currently making a paltry $500k annually so maybe he’s thinking he’ll save up for bit before inking a huge deal next season at which point he’ll move into the Vincent Chase Estate but Chad, with the way the real estate prices are heading in Miami and LA I’m pretty sure you can afford to take the plunge a year early. See you at Spring Training, buddy. I’ll be the guy holding up the MLS listings.

Phil Knight, WTF?

Dear Nike,

I’m sure you are already aware but there has been a RASH OF ANKLE INJURIES to your athletes so far in the 2008-2009 NBA season which is severely hampering my fantasy basketball team. So far this year alone I have been decimated by high ankle sprains to Deron Williams and Tony Parker, not to mention my poor league mate who is languishing with The Kevins (Durant and Martin) riding the pine for the foreseeable future (again, saying nothing of my friend Baldo who has to go to war without Josh Smith!).

As the preeminent force in basketball shoes you must already be aware that the game is actually hard on the athletes’ feet and I’m sure you must have some sort of radical technology that prevents these untimely and unfortunate injuries, therefore I can only conclude that somehow your competition (i.e. Reebok or Adidas or even those bastards at Converse) has broken into your warehouses and somehow sabotaged your goods. Please, for the good of fantasy owners everywhere please install some security cameras in your production facilities and increase the vigilance in your QA department. We are all relying on you to provide the best footwear possible so we can avoid being the laughingstock of the league, which as everybody knows is JR Becko’s permanent residence. Please, Nike, I’m begging you. Don’t let Reebok get away with these Tonya Harding-esque tactics. We all deserve better.
