Catch of the day

Big government claims another victim, alas.
Let us leave aside the fact that the prize money -- which these guys had to return for having offended against paperwork -- totalled almost a million bucks ... for catching a fish. (If I were the offending mate, I wouldn't get too close to the rail during the Citation's next trip out, if you know what I mean.) Isn't the real story here that the person from the North Carolina fisheries board who blew the whistle is a woman named Nancy Fish? Why doesn't that happen here? How come there are no governor's councillors named Walter Layabout? Our state government is dull.
We're gonna need a bigger form...

“Still too early, but I share the concern. Would love to see the eventual second unit guys – Baby, Jeff Green, Arroyo, West and probably Kristic – get to play together. Rondo looks exhausted and it would be helpful if Doc could cut back his minutes.
Also, I strongly suspect there were concerns that Perk was not the same player anymore.”

“Packer was serious about hoops. I knew it was a big game when Musberger/Nantz would call a game with Packer. He was old school so he took delight in fundamentals such as a pick/roll or boxing out a rebounder. I'm still a young kid, but I enjoyed his analysis.”
