    His voice, tonal quality, started an imbrolio with Scwab when they dubbed over his voice on a spot he did for them a couple year's back.

    My 'need' for DM is that he successfully continue his career here.

    2 or 3 more years?!! Not for us I Hope. I mean, if he's actually a few years older than he claims (as many believe to be the case), won't he be pushing 50?

    Is there any proof at all that that's true? Seems like a running gag more than anything.

    I heard the replay in my car with my kids. After hearing his voice my five year old says, "Daddy, he's old". Had to smile at that.

    8 mil hospital is actually not a lot considering all the expensive medical equipments you need to get to get the hospital running.

    I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I've heard that it's very common for immigrants from Africa to have to change their age for some reason. Maybe it has something to do with qualifying for school scholarships over here.

    Mutombo has always sounded old. His voice hasn't changed since he entered the league.

    By the end of the season, we are all going to understand him. That is the scary part. We should have no trouble conversing with the hot hearing impaired girls after this.

    Well im sure in a poor county's like Africa 8 million dollars will go alot further when making a hospital than it would in the U.S.

    a lot of indians do that too but they actually lie about their age making them to be older to start school earlier or qualify them earlier than they should.
    so if anything deke could be younger than 38 but probably not by much, a few months or so



    EDIT: anyone know when a press conference will be?

    Big or small, my guess is that an $8 mil hospital actually costs about $8 mil. Not sure what you consider a lot of money, but $8 mils is a lot more than I have ever donated.
