14 'em


To the dismay of 1090 inebriated* fans at the Austin Convention Center, our Colorado 14ers matadored the Austin Toros right in the grill last night, 118-104. Elton Brown went for 23 and 12 while Eddie Gill put up 18 and 7 including a perfect 11 for 11 from the gimme stripe. Game 2 tonight.

Transition

On January 4th, the NBA suspended Knicks Forward Zach Randolph for throwing his headband at a referee during a game. I've done some research on headbands. They're cloth and squishy. If you think the League's actions were too strict, perhaps you think they could take a note from the French. The French bank Société Générale recently uncovered some minor fraud performed by one of their traders which added up to $7 billion and change. The punitive action:

"The bank said the fraudulent positions had been closed and the trader suspended."

If $7 billion gets you suspended, what gets you fired? Who's in for a trip to France?

I can see the 14ers new marketing slogan now:

The Colorado 14ers: It's 2/7ths of the fun you'll have at a 49ers game.

Hopefully they have a fanbase that enjoys fraction humor.

Alright, I'll show myself out now.
