Is it Me?...

Is it me, or can anyone in the Southeast, much less in the City of Charlotte, get up for the Bobcats?...I'm sorry, but Bob "Irkel" Johnson's team is just straight up booty...

I'm sorry, but their unis are mainstream, their name is booty, Emeka Okafor is damaged goods, and they're touting Gerald Wallace as one of their mainstays of the team. Two words...Jason Kipono.

Plus, they're trying to attract angry and burned fans. After the Hornets and the NBA left the city with their pants down, do you really think that fans are going to pony up for season tickets and personal seats licenses like they used to. Believe me, this may not work. I watched the growth of the Hornets with a passion. In '87, Charlotte was pumped because the NBA signified that the city was hitting the big-time. Now that the city has made it to the the big-time with the banking industry and other industries, that wanna-be big-time vibe just isn't at that same level anymore. The NBA is played out, and everyone knows it.

Plus, I can't believe that fans are going to come back for more of the NBA's marketing campaigns and shoddy play...Also, remember this is ACC country....

When I look at what I'm arguing about. It's really not the Bobcats that I'm ranting on...I think it's the NBA. After I saw the Fu-Manchued wizard from LeBron's Nike commericals behind the Cavs bench tonight, I really think that the league is too blown-out...Call it "The Attack of the Killer Herbs"...I'm telling you...they cornballed the League out...I can't believe it,and for hardcore fans, I really think they shot the golden goose.

No Access - By the way, I noticed a good point by Mark Cuban today. He stated in the Sports Business Journal that the reason why he didn't install wireless capabilities in American Airlines is for the purpose of avoiding the conflicts that would arise if someone spilled a beer, coke, or mustard on a laptop or PDA...Good point.

The right choice? - Four years of One-Way Conservative policies melted with cheese and the Bobcats as the Saturday night entertainment on SportsSouth in the winter...Professional life in NC...Where do I sign up? Another thing, how does this administration meet the demands of the agricultural worker in NC...really, how does it?

Yeech,
IronDog
