I Am Here To Help Tim Rogers, My White Friend

Zac Crain — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:34:56 +0000

Since Tim was confused yesterday about who Dorrough (or, in his mind, Ft. Dorrough, aka Foot Dorrough, aka Fort Dorrough) is, here is his signature hit, “Ice Cream Paint Job.” For him, for you, for all my homies who couldn’t be here.

If I Don’t Post This A&M Press Release, Rod Davis Will Lose His Job and Blame It on Me

Rod is a longtime (I mean, longtime) contributor to D Magazine and former senior editor. You don’t need to actually read this press release. I know I didn’t. But in these perilous times, we all have to do our part to keep people employed, and I have now done mine.

Here is a Picture of Nick Van Exel

I’m not sure where this is from. I put it up on our Tumblr a few days ago. I put it up because, of all the people who played for the Mavericks, Nick Van Exel was singular in his ability to not give one fraction of a damn if it was the fourth quarter of the seventh game of a playoff series or 10 minutes into a preseason game. He did what he did. He was absolutely fearless, rushing toward the moment instead of shrinking from it, 6 feet of swagger.

I put it up here because 1) we should all be more like that, whether we play basketball or type blog posts about people who play basketball or whatever. And 2) the Mavericks, specifically, should especially be like that tonight. I mean, I suppose the real reason is that I love Nick Van Exel, but I think I’ve made that pretty clear with all the words I typed before these. In case I didn’t: I love Nick Van Exel.
