Crio’s Question: “What windsock?”

San Antonio won game 1 in the NBA finals with no air conditioning in their home stadium. They just happen to have the deepest and best bench in the NBA!

Miami winning Game 2 just reinforced the efficacy of this tactic – a beautiful conundrum faced by anyone who tries to challenge a conspiracy theorist.

Shareholders, stakeholders, directors….call ’em what you will, but they’d all concur that Machiavelli understood the importance of percentages.

Winners are grinners and the losers, I guess, can please themselves – and, of course, throw mud. Some of it, as we know, sticks.

  6. runners are under scrutiny in AFL – they can serve purposes beyond relaying a coach’s message.

  7. Whenever Makybe Diva was facing Hay List for instance
