His perimeter shooting touch was, uh, impaired last night.

 

Word of advice for SportsJournalists.commers: Don't try to escape the checkpoints. They have chaser cops who are watching for cars who turn around to avoid the checkpoints. It's best to just take your chances at the checkpoint and hope you get lucky.

 

I thought it was this JJ

 

was that mug from last night or after the LSU game?

 

I'd also say, if you're leaving work and hit a checkpoint on the way out of town, it might be a good thing to cell back to the newsroom and alert your co-workers so they can take another way out and not sit there for a half-hour.

 

Is there any white guy at Duke that isn't abusing alcohol?

 

Yes, or your co-workers at the bar, as the case may be.

 

THIS IS LUDICROUS BABY! JJ WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS!! HE'S A DOOKIE BABY! [/Dick Vitale]

 

he should have stuck with pot.

 

As a Maryland fan, this makes things very hard.

Yes, it is very hard to suppress what I would really love to type right now.

(Flying Headbutt, feel free to weigh in. IJAG, uh, we're sorry in advance.)

 

DYNOMITE!!!!!
