Dr. Rumm, I believe you are using "sublime" incorrectly (and fairly consistently as of late).

sub·lime adj.
1. Characterized by nobility; majestic.
2.
a. Of high spiritual, moral, or intellectual worth.
b. Not to be excelled; supreme.
3. Inspiring awe; impressive.
4. Archaic. Raised aloft; set high.
5. Obsolete. Of lofty appearance or bearing; haughty: “not terrible,/That I should fear... /But solemn and sublime” (John Milton).

I believe you are saying the scheduling is the pits, in which case "sublime" does not seem to apply.

It can also be used this way, in more of perogative way (but will edit story and use another favorite = inane!)

Actually edited and changed to "surreal".

By the way, are you an English professor*
? :elephant :blah

My mother was one, and between her and my dyslexia, I do the best I can!

Good read, Dr.

Elton Brand is a MONSTER. I wish the Spurs had made some kind of run at him. Could you imagine? He is like a Malik Rose, a smaller guy who COULD play center, only Brand is like 100x more atheletic than Malik.

I do some very minor sportswriting on college football, but make no claims to being a professor of anything.

Good article and I hope your predictions come true ... w/possible exception of the Cavs series.

Brand is like another 7 footer because he can block shots too. 2.5 bpg this season.
