An Embarrassing and Sad Start to the Spurs Offseason

[PeterBurns]

So....the Express-News hooked me up as one of their "City bloggers".

Here's my first hack journalistic effort, it's Spurs related

Might do the next one on the big Spursreport/Spurstalk Civil War.
Remind me how this feud began.

Excellent Smithers...

Cheer up, Petey boy, from that opener, you can only get better.

[ffadicted]

Isn't sarcasm supposed to be funny?

[Spursmania]

Funny as and right on point...

[ElNono]

Embarrasing sounds about right...

[Spursfan092120]

loved it, Peter..absolutely priceless.

[EricB]

I thought the line about actually showing up to the game on time as opposed to the 2nd quarter was damn funny

[EricB]

Good effort, look forward to the next one

[PeterBurns]

Cheer up, Petey boy, from that opener, you can only get better.

I figured I start the bar low, and try to work up.
Tanji Patton and her damn wine articles are killing it.

[Libri]

Somebody has hijacked the Spurs. hehe

[DPG21920]

Well done. I really liked your article about the grieving mother as well.

Seriously....In the pic above...Does Darth only have 4 fingers?

[PeterBurns]

Nope...Fail Number 2. He has 5 fingers.
Google confirmed it.

[EricB]

Good thing you got that radio thing to fall back on.

[NRHector]

Seriously....In the pic above...Does Darth only have 4 fingers?

sorry Mr. Burns he does have 4 fingers and 1 thumb

Enjoyed it but who does the editing? Wrong puncutations and wrong sentence structure; here's a couple right at the beginning 1) Richard Jefferson is a young dynamic player this is an amazing scorer...should read 'that is an amazing scorer'; along with this sentence is supposed to end with a ? not at . "Do you honestly think Manu and Duncan can carry a scene without Bowen."

[PeterBurns]

Mrcoon29, just saw it. Fixed it.
It was done under the influence of Chick-fil-a and Rum

Ok, but there's a few more if you're interested. I did enjoy reading it, btw.

Good job, Peter, keep it up.

[senorglory]

Also, glad to see someone else giddy with Spurs' '09-'10 prospects.

It's one thing to have sarcasm interspersed throughout an article... it's another for it to be the entire focus. A couple good lines I suppose though.

[PeterBurns]

Spurs before trade probably 8-1 to win 2009-2010 Championship.
With Trade probably 4-1
With Wallace/Varajeo Signing 5-2
