Josh Childress is basketball person

(We have no pictures. Or “pitchers”, as they say in the South. We love the South, btw. We’ll run down our comparison between Southern women and Los Angeles women one day soon.)

So Josh Childress is going to Greece to play for the next three years, on a sweet $20M deal. (EDITED: Allegedly, it’s worth more than $20M!)

This includes, we assume, all the perks those teams throw out, ie they pay your taxes, free house/car/women/etc. Plus a shorter season. Here’s what he said:

“Snails! Snails! Snails! I like to consume snails! I put them in my face! They go down my throat! That is called swallowing! I don’t speak Greecianese! Snails and money! Snails! Snails! Snails!”

Basically, he gets a clean $20M to work a lot less and be a rock star of sorts, ie a token American. PLUS, he gets to eat snails, wear togas, and have a gladiator for a roommate (if he chooses).

Y’know, everyone is scared of Lebron going to Jersey in 2010 – we’d be more afraid of him going to Europe.

Businessman that he is, what if he could walk away with a clean $250M for five years or something? It’d be tempting, yes? It’d make him more global, yes? One could assume ESPN/ABC would make a deal to show his games, yes?

Just something to think aboot. (MARK THIS POST, PLEASE. ONE DAY, WE WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW WE WERE RIGHT FIRST.)

Something else to think aboot – there was a brawl in the WNBA last night.

How weird is that? Who could possibly care aboot winning their WNBA game enough to fight over it?

Back to Josh Childress – we watched Celebrity Family Feud last night, and Ed McMahon could never think of an answer for anything. He’d just stand there and stare, then Al Roker would be all like, “RAWWR I LIKE WEATHER WHY AM I HOSTING GAME SHOWS?!”

Believe it or not, that was only the second best thing we watched lasterday – the first was a chair.
