What a bunch of nothing.

Sometimes I think they are so stupid they couldn’t find porn on the Internet......
A classic Phil Jackson comment! I can’t believe how few people have a sense of humor these days!

Whoops! Misspelled it again.
Perhaps you meant horn-y.............
The league was reacting to a complaint filed by GLAND.
LOL! Darn, better than mine.
GLAND?...........Which one?...................
GLAAD......GLAND....is there a difference?
Don’t be GLIB?.............
NBA can’t fine Jackson, or he’d have a slam dunk first amendment case.
tailgunners.. bahahaha.. that’s a new one to me.
