Wild wild west

Bill Simmons writes some pretty funny stuff from time to time. Got to hand it to the guy he is entertaining. His latest write up on the NBA Western conference playoff race and how he sees it playing out is definitely worth a read, I just spent the last 40 minutes trying to read it here at work, dang ESPN page 2 and their uber bright distinctive yellow page border, don't they know I'm trying to read this stuff at work and my manager keeps walking by, so I have to constantly minimize/maximize the screen??

Read the full article here. A small sample that made me laugh below. from his breakdown of the Lakers:

Unsung hero: Sasha Vujacic, quite possibly the league's best bench player of anyone who plays 20 minutes or less. He's a feisty defender, he shoots 40-plus from 3-point range, he can guard anyone and play three positions, he's a legitimate threat to get punched in the face during the playoffs and, if that's not enough, I'm almost positive that he's wearing some sort of hair net. We haven't had a so-much-fun-to-hate-him playoff villain like this guy in eons. He's like Bruce Bowen crossed with one of John Lithgow's henchman in "Cliffhanger."

Cliffhanger! Brilliant.

Come on bro, get creative, put some technology to use, and copy and paste the article into Word or something like that. Wait, ya better use GoogleDocs.

You could even stick a few tables and graphs in there to make it even more camouflaged.
