Wolves,

With all your "greasing" threads, you really should think about moving to San Francisco.

Or if you're deadset about being a hoops fan, move to NJ and become the president of Richard Jefferson's fan club.

Either that or lay off the Xenical.

I can't wait untill USA wins gold, so he can leave.

USA - Gold
ARG - Silver
LIT - Bronze
