More NBA!! (at least it's not hockey...travis)

1st: read JWest's comment on the last post. Priceless.

2nd: last Bill Simmons (BS) related post for a while. promise.

3rd: BS reminded me of this the other day. Remember in the golden days of our youth when the NBA was a big deal and NBC showed games every weekend? We're talking the Jordan years (i am slightly too young for the bird/magic years). All the NBC commercials for upcomming games were hyped the exact same way, for years. It went:

BULLS!! KNICKS!! IT'S THE NBA PLAYOFFS ON NBC!!

By now you're either humming the little promo song to yourself or you have no idea . Either way, it's really fun to announce lesser sporting events with this same formula. For example:

DUCKS!! SENS!! IT'S THE STANLEY CUP FINALS ON VERSUS!!
dada dada dum da da da...

I know, i'm still laughing. I actually had a really good chat with travis about the NHL last night. He knows his shit. The thing is, he is one of the 5000 people in North America who DOESN'T need to be sold on hockey. I am a huge sports fan, and i couldn't name ONE player on either team in the Stanley Cup finals. that's sad. and it's not my fault. the combation of over-expansion and the missing season left us with a bunch of nobodies playing an interesting game who's rules i don't understand and results i don't care about. might as well be ncaa lacrosse.

'CUSE!! BROWN!! IT'S THE NCAA LACROSS FINALS ON ESPNU!!
