    Rocket River, you do know that the article was a parody, right?

    That is absolutely perfect....fantastic! more, more!! Think about it. If we all write a Fran parody disparaging Yao, with a bunch of bad sports cliches, then Fran can never use them for fear of being sued for plagarism. We might actually be able to dry up his ideas, and he'll have to retire, or actually think harder before he writes.

    The "morse code" through the Earth to China is great, made me want to read that line again and again. too perfect.

    Are you Red Connelly?! "Sports for Heretics"

    Incredible. KC and his Sunshine Contract. Ming the Delusion. The bamboo-thin rookie. A first hand experience of what migraines really feel like.
    Great lines all the way through, and it really captured Blinebury's style.
    Only problem is it didn't mention who Rashard Lewis was playing for.

    Absolutely hilarious, and funny stuff! Classic parody, thanks for the laugh Launch Pad! :D

    I will bet that Camby is on IR when the Rockets face the Knicks.

    Did you just imply that I actually was Fran :eek:

    Hey watch it pal! Dem's fightin' words! :mad: :p

    LOL! Rocket River makes the original post more "realisitic" with a great parody of an incensed fan reacting to Fran's illogical and hyperbolized criticisms :D

    Nice work, Launch Pad. Made me want to throw up and kill you at the same time, just like the real Fran.

    I doubt it, heypee. Red Connelly couldn't be bothered with basketball except to say how boring it was. His Sports for Heretics was excellent, though. Most entertaining sports writing I've read in this town and usually the only reason to read PN. In case you didn't know, he's a staff writer at Houston Press now writing under his real name, Rich Connelly. I talked Rocket ball with him last year when he was writing a feature on Tamarie and he wasn't even sure who was on the team.

    I guess I didn't really want to know that about my hero. *sigh* what is it with this football town full of UT & AM grads obsessed with arguing about letting an ex-UH coach installing a gimmick four wide offense with the running back's sole responsibility blocking for a black quarterback from Canada...grrrrrrrrrrrr

    Connelly is the best at abusing Fran, though. Maybe he's still my hero.
