Someone is overreacting. Can you find who? I bet you can.

Then, let's trade McDonald for Bonner.
Anyway, I think the kid has what it takes to be a good sports writer after his tenure in the NBA's courts.

Not all of us can sit stone-faced and staring at the wall until the game starts like Duncan.

Bonner needs to go to zito's here in SA

**BlackBellamy** · 10-26-2009

I personally think it's a great human piece. And I feel greater connection to Bonner after reading it (particularly with the Jagjaguwar and Secretly Canadian nods, Bonner's a in' hip fella, who knew?). I could do with more Spurs players giving us a creative glimpse every once in a while into their lives outside of basketball. The pun, "Hoagie Grail", kinda 'dad joke' funny, but the article was well written as a whole (with a few minor editing mistakes). Props to Bonner aka, "White-Meat Hero".

Care to elaborate on these "editing mistakes", Professor

I was thinking Carl Herrera was pretty cool with his maracas. Beat that hot shot!

bonner rules!

Sigh......

Matt Bonner is a cool guy. Was a good writeup. I remember when he first got here 95% of posters on here had nothing but positive things to say about adding a "hustle player" and three point shooter like him to the team. For everybody's sake, I really really hope Pop doesn't put any kind of lofty expectations on the Red Rocket this season (ala starting center in the NBA). Play him according to what his ceiling is (not like he started any more than a handful of games in TOR in two full seasons), and everybody is happy IMO. I have no personal hatred toward Bonner by any means, more so how much and how often he was used last season (an off year for our frontcourt, and team in general).

Bonner seems like a cool guy. He's a good writer too. I'm hungry

Ha, you could always tell that Bonner has that kind of witty humor. I think the best part of the article, though, is that Manu tells riddles.

This dude reminds me of Matt:

People hating on this is interesting. NBA players taking time to connect with fans on Facebook - giving levels of access that simply weren't feasible before blogging and social networking proliferated - and yet people and moan that Manu is facebooking too much and Matt is eating a sandwich.

I think this is cool, and hope he keeps it up - song of the day feature included. this was fun and it takes an hour to go grab lunch and 20 minutes to write up a piece on it for us fans to read. So I don't think it destroys the previous years of practice and all the prep that the team does. And it's not like he's twittering at halftime, either.

I do wish he could rebound and play D like Dennis Rodman, though. That would be great.

dude thunderclouds is ing sick, you dont even get to one bite before its a soggy, falling-apart mess

**4down** · 10-26-2009

ahahaha!! It's been a couple years since i been there, but I liked em.

Give a suggestion for a good place that ain't a chain.

That's all he's going to be doing, so if there was a strawman anywhere it occurred in your own head when you misinterpreted the article then summarily dogged him.
