[the captain]

I'm at the point of being happy with almost anything.

Today the Wolves canceled practice (and thus media) and yet somehow still seem not to have come out of it with Thibs fired or Butler traded. In fact, there is just more soap opera style news that they did, or didn't, depending on who you ask, hold a players-only in which Butler either ripped into everyone or said his only issue was with management and ownership (unless it didn't happen at all).

Such a joke, the whole thing. For Taylor to have let Thibs keep his job at this point is just amazing. I want that guy to hire me for something. Anything. Apparently once I'm in, I can do anything I want and I'm safe from discipline.

I think your semi-pro team internship would look good to Glen Taylor!

It's true: my writing could bring the Wolves up to the level of the SLAM! (That's how they wrote it: SLAM! It was agony, considering I was a college student at the time being pummeled with Strunk & White and the like, and thus wholly opposed to overuse of capitalization and exclamation points.)

Now I'm trying to think of how many SLAM! players were better than various Wolves players over the years...
