An Embarrassing and Sad Start to the Spurs Offseason

[Bartleby]

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

*cough*

there are a few more . . .

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.

I had just saw the Seinfeld Episode where George starts doing everything opposite, and it's works for him.

Spurs are the Bizarro Spurs
Spending Money
Drafting Guys they can plug in
Getting Younger

And from what I understand, they will be much more aggressive with the media this year....meaning more player interviews, coach interviews....etc.

I think they are beginning to understand that they can't wall off the local media/fans like they could when it was 2005. They need to do this all right now before Duncan, Manu, and Parker leave

You misspelled "fiscal". Other than that, good article.

[mrcoon29]

"ask for a calculator of Christmas" should be 'at Christmas';
" their fiscial responsibility" should be 'fiscal';
"If they Spurs" should be 'the';
You are asking a question here "Why not draft someone <snip> when ready." so use a ?
"to starting sitting" should be 'start'
"Way to complete foul up" should be 'completely'

There's another small issue with a comma but if you fix the rest, I can ignore the comma. :o)

[TheProfessor]

Not bad at all for the first attempt. Although I would have someone look it over next time, there are a few grammatical errors.

EDIT - Oops, everyone else is already riding you for that

That's it, I'm going to make some little 8 year old cry on NHL09.

Isn't sarcasm supposed to be funny?

Quick question about your signature...

You do realize there are only 82 games in a season, right? Therefore, it would be amazing to go 83-1 on the season, even if we had Lebron and Oden...

[Allanon]

Go back to college for something other than basketball:

5th paragraph:
"Lets look at the facts:"
Let's

Point #2
"for a calculator of Christmas."
for Christmas

Paragraph after Point #4
"If they Spurs even try to consider retiring "
If the Spurs

5th from last paragraph
"and then bring them back when ready"
bring him back

2nd to last paragraph:
"Way to complete foul up this offseason"
Way to completely

There's a thread in the NBA forum either you or Kori should respond to. Tacker created it just to give you an idea of what to expect.

[timvp]

JK, PB. Good first effort. That's A- writing at St. Mary's

Congrats on the blog, Peter. I'm sure it's going to be well received. You are pretty funny naturally, so just write how you talk and then find some hot chick with an English degree to edit for you.

Peter steals most of his material from Kori, LJ and Spurstalk. So this came from your mind, Peter? I mean originally?

[SouthTexasRancher]

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.

Pretty damn good, if you ask me...which no one is.

Solid D.
There is no doubt that I steal at least 85% of my Spurs stuff from here. I've never hid that fact.

Whenever I post something, I wait for Timvp to post a reply. If he agrees, then it's like having the dad giving his blessing.

When it's dumb, Timvp puts me in my place with a "I'm not mad, just disappointed" reply.

Still, I think my best work ever was the post in the Cantina regarding being selected to the WOAI Roundtable. An oldie
