In Defense of Melo

I live in Denver. I know how hard it is to get a cab. Especially at 4 a.m.

But, then again, he makes a bajillion dollars, so he should pay a guy 40K a year just to drive him around. It would be worth it.

Come on. That's not how these rich young athletes roll. Please, pay someone $40,000/year to drive them around. They'd much rather wait until they get a DUI then spend a couple million to pay off the cop to not show up at trial. Then they just go home and do it all over again.

I for one will never understand this generation of spoiled guaranteed money ball players.

Carp, do you listen to 104.3? They had a caller this afternoon ask what makes a good coach in the NBA? The unanimous answer was players! They only care about their paychecks in this town. Only AI may differ, I haven't seen how much he wants a ring yet. I'll be watching the playoffs to see how much he wants a ring.

File under Paris, Hohan, and co. If you have enough money to afford a full-time driver then one DUI should land you in jail for a year.

I like that. The penalties should be worse if you make an obscene enough amount of money that you should have zero excuse to not have a full time driver.

You can't make a special set of laws because the affluent are stupid. If you made a DUI fine like 50K a year so that having a driver would be more cost effective, then it also has to apply to the every-man, who clearly couldn't afford such a price.

I understand your point. But DUI's are even more insulting when committed by someone that can have a full time driver.

Is that an "Entourage" raference (I haven't seen but one episode) or were you talking about the appearance of Bonzi Wells?

Now, that was funny, Manny!

Yeah, I'm talking Entourage, but I suppose when talking about Bonzi it could have a double meaning.

It's TV on DVD (que the "OOOs" and "Ahhhs"), does that matter?

Sounds like 6 hours of uncomfortable motionlessness bracketing 4 chuckles, one chortle and half a forced laugh.

Watching a TV show about guys trying to make movies is infinitely irritating to me...

And nudity is not a sales pitch. While you are extolling the wonderful attributes of nudity on my television, I could be having real nudity (and more) in my bedroom instead.

Sorry, dude. Nothing personal - enjoy it all you want! I learned long ago that fiction (whether in print or video) pales in comparison to the fiction I can close my eyes and imagine for free...

And unlike a TV, I can't turn my mind off - well, I can drink it asleep - so I guess it DOES have a price!

None of this answers the more important question - Where is Bonzi's shell???
