Not Qualified To Comment — ... sending me links and I never post them. Sorry if this sucks. More Obama basketball stuff from TrueHoop. Isiah Thomas's brother peed on a church.

An interview with the Fridge. He's still as goofy as ever. Looks like Warren Sapp will be helping to coach Tommie Harris. Meh.
