Ha ha ha! Oh, Reid, you poor sonofabitch, ha ha ha!

"DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks bulked up an already strong offense Monday, acquiring All-Star forward Antoine Walker from the Boston Celtics in a five-player trade."

This is easily the funniest thing the Mavs could have done this offseason. Thank you, Mark Cuban, thank you. (For those of you who don't follow the NBA, Walker is probably the most overrated player in the league, if not in league history. Plus, he's a chucker. And he runs on his tippy-toes, like a girl. Oh, this is grand.)

In other news, William Safire is an idiot.

Update: I consider this some kind of karmic payback for Reid taunting me about the Spurs getting Jason Kidd, when I kept insisting we didn't need him. Either that, or to put the cosmic scales back on balance, after they teetered following the Spurs signing Robert Horry.

And in still other news, David Brooks is also an idiot. Look at his closing two paragraphs. Nice try, Dave. Really, you're doing a good job. (note: italics indicate patronizing-a-retard voice.)
