What I’m doing instead of blogging…
I know that I totally blew the “Ben Wallace is back” NBA Comix … I probably could have done a whole week’s worth on that topic. Sorry about that.
I’ve been working on the Traverse City Wine & Art Festival.
It’s the first annual of what I hope will be many and happens Saturday August 22 from [...]
Detroit Pistons Offseason Primer: You Can’t Tell the Team Even WITH the Scorecard Edition
NBA Comix hit the big time on Absolute Michigan – definitely click over there to go bigger!
NBA Comix: Vegas line on Isiah’s next career move
It’s with a (somewhat) heavy heart that NBA Comix mourns the departure of one of its patron saints, Isiah Thomas from the hardwood.
Whether he was trading draft picks for Larry Brown or just for comic relief, replacing one of the greatest basketball minds with himself, matching wits with a puppy or attempting to singlehandedly bring [...]
NBA Comix: Gimme the Damn Remote with Charles Barkley and color commentary from the beards of Baron Davis and Carlos Boozer
This was supposed to be just a link to the excellent new NBA heavy BallHype and a little bit of regretful (if predictable) lamenting about how my extreme busyness means no NBA Comix, especially in this, the Time of the NBA.
Saw Cat Wade’s Pulitzer Prize winning photo of Baron shaking hands with Kirilenkos’ face [...]
NBA Comix: Legends of Greek Basketball
A few notes.
I really did look for legends. I think Greece would be hard put to field a team in the Legends of the World One-on-One Tournament.
The kid above is not Greek. He merely represents the caliber of player our team was prepared to face.
Man, it’s a damn good thing we didn’t take Bruce Bowen [...]
NBA Comix: Mike Knows Motivation
In case you can’t read the above: Sapporo: Team Usa Coach Mike Krzyzewski sought to “light a fire under these spoiled superstars” by screening a motivational video featuring Ron Artest while simultaneously dunking a helpless Anderson Varejo.
While Carmelo Anthony & Dwayne Wade seemed intent on perfecting their new hand signs, the presentation did have an [...]
The Day of the Long Tail
This video was created by Peter Hirshberg, Bob Kalsey, and Michel Markman and inspired by the concepts in The Long Tail by WIRED’s Chris Anderson.
The basic premise of the Long Tail is that the previous history of products (and media) has been all about the “short head: the blockbuster book or [...]
Farlane Comix: Have it your way … as long as “your way” means “with large breasts”
OK. I’m crossing a line here, something that I’ve been uncomfortable with ever since my first grade teacher Mrs. Allington whacked me across the back for coloring outside the line on Abe Lincoln’s stovepipe hat. Until today, I’ve confined my comix to the NBA. Then something came along that I could think of no other [...]
David Stern: Tyrant or Dictator?
Detroit News sportswriter Chris McCoskey drops the hammer today on everyone’s favorite commish with an absolutely scathing column:
David Stern is either out of control or too much in control. It’s not good, either way.
He might be the most effective and successful commissioner in all of professional sports, but I am starting to suspect he’s gotten [...]
NBA Comix: Steve Nash Haircut Triggers Panic
NOTE: I’m just kidding about Adam Morrison’s world-class mustache. By all accounts, the mustache is safe and resting comfortably on his face.
I tell you, it’s been quite a depressing couple of month or so for NBA Comix. First my beloved Pistons unraveled like a cheap suit in the face of Pat Riley’s expensive suits. Then [...]
