And, somehow, I missed #7, which also dropped sometime since Thanksgiving and TigerGate. Both are below, and both are heavy on everyone’s favorite allegedly adulterous golfer as well as — fortunately for those of us who run NBA blogs and want to share Ed Lover’s greatness with the world — the National Basketball Association.
Boobie, Diesel and the winless Nets all made the cut. Congrats guys.
I’m not sure if you’ve heard this yet, but Brandon Jennings is incredible. Not only did he drop 55 points in his seventh career NBA game, but he’s averaging 25.2 ppg for the season on 48.2% shooting and 51.9% from three, which would not only be fantastic for, say, Steve Kerr, but is particularly impressive for a 20-year-old who fell to the 10th pick in the draft, at least in part, because he was said to possess a suspect jumper.
So, just FYI, we’ll now be referring to him as The Pterodactyl around these here webtubes. Matt Moore of Hardwood Paroxysm came up with it. djturtleface gave us the below illustration. And I think it’s a perfect fit for the kid who has inspired us to say “Chuck Norris is the white Brandon Jennings.”
My affinity for Brook Lopez is no secret. That probably goes back to the time I shouted it on a mountain. And probably the only thing I love more than Brook Lopez the human being is Brook Lopez the human being in an Optimus Prime mask. (via NetsAreScorching)
Unfortunately, I’m not a professional NBA blogger yet. No, no. This nonsense is pure amateur hour. In my actual career, I’m a mailman. A letter carrier. A master of the postal arts. Il postino.
It’s not the best job, but I make it much better. I steal. A lot. I’d say that out of any given ten letters I pick up, I thieve seven or eight. And ya know who writes a ton of letters? NBA players. I was shocked too. But I’m talking, like, a ton. In fact, the only thing they mail more than letters are postcards. Yup. Postcards. They send em to everyone. They send them to each other. They send them to their coaches. People send postcards to them. And sometimes they even send postcards to themselves.
These are the ones I stole last week. (See also: The Central)
It’s quite possible that this never-ending phenomenon of parodying Hitler’s emotional meltdown from “Downfall” (which is a rather good movie in and of itself) is no longer funny. And maybe it never was.
Still, I’ve enjoyed most of the ones I’ve watched no matter the topic, so I guess to me this whole meme is is sorta like the mom joke of the internet. I’ll still laugh even though, from a comedic standpoint, it’s rather dumb and easy. (Much like your mom.)
As the title suggest, this edition features Adolf as a loyal New Jerseyan pissed about the eventual relocation of his beloved Nets to Brooklyn. (from @jeskeets via @NetsDaily)
What in the hell does this logo have to do with nets?
I’m told that this is supposed to be a shield with a basketball passing through a red hoop — but there is no net on this hoop. Not even a chain one. Maybe the red hoop was supposed to express that the Nets are “in the red” financially and that’s why they’re trying to move from the meadows of New Jersey to the streets of Brooklyn. No wonder people don’t come to the IZOD Center. No wonder people don’t wear Nets paraphernalia. They don’t understand what the hell this has to do with the name of the team.
This looks more like a scene from outer space. It looks more like Saturn than it does anything to do with an actual net. It reminds me of Event Horizon. I feel like somewhere in the depths of that shield, Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill are battling it out for control of the space ship. Or maybe this ring around the shield is more like a scene from the movie Contact. But whatever terrible movie this logo evokes in the minds of the confounded people who view it, the fact remains that this in no way reminds anybody of an actual net.
They should have stayed with the stupid little NJ logo that had a basketball-looking boil at the top of the J. At least that said something about the franchise/state of residence. This just has a hoop with no net and nothing signifying anything about the state of New Jersey.
A picture of a mall would have been much more apropos.
Whenever I think “turbl space movie,” I think “Sunshine.” After “Manos: The Hands of Fate” and “The Wicker Man” (2006), that’s the worst movie ever made. There’s no way the same guy directed “Trainspotting” and “28 Days Later…” I will never believe it.
