The WGOMSBG Nation Provides Your Daily Source for Half-Baked Crap |
February 9th, 2006 by SBG
Kind of.
One of my loyal readers MV has been advertising on Seth's website and tonight his "blogvertising" was featured on WCCO TV. The story was talking about blogs and how many people read them and a certain blog that is your daily source for half-baked crap was shown in the video. Check out MV's site Banjo Brothers here and his "Guard Dog Watches" here.
Sorry, the LTE form is closed at this time.
 | Happy Birthday, Uncle Sam! My Dad used to say that the summer was "half shot" on the 4th of July. I never could figure that out -- we had only been out of school a month and had two months of summer vacation left. I notice, though, that the Twins have played 81 games. Maybe that's what he was talking about. As I have documented several times before, I went to my first professional baseball game on July 4, 1973. It was a glorious night with 49,000 people crammed into the ballpark and fireworks afterward. Do you remember your first game? What's on your mind today? 2 LTEs Horrified that the Best GM in all of Sports is your avatar? Go here to set up an account and right the wrong that has been done unto you!

75,000 hits my ass!
From where I'm sitting, it looks like barely 74,500.

And here I thought it was billions.

You know what's depressing, looking at this team and then imagining it with Sam Cassel starting at PG, with Banks coming off the bench as the change of pace, and Jaric far from our consciousness. That would be a legitimate playoff team, wouldn't it?
And that's before you mention the first round draft pick we gave to the Clippers for the privilege of signing Jaric to a 5 year deal. Ugh.
Now that he has been benched, does Jaric still have any value to other teams? Can McHale trade him even if he wanted to? Regardless, McHale won't trade him because he is McHale's guy and he traded away Cassel and a 1st rounder for him, so he cannot admit that Jaric and that trade are complete flops.

Nice coverage on your site, SBG. OK, so it wasn't much, but you made the little screen!

I got one of those Guard Dog watches. Real nice. I just wish I had a job that deserved such a heavy-duty timepiece.

See SBG,
I told you to change your logo, and now look, you made the news. You're welcome.

So did the portion of your site that says "half-baked crap" get on the screen over the anchor's shoulder?
SBG replied on February 12, 2006 at 11:11:00 am
bj: Yes, but you can't see it clearly.
