The End of Life as We Know it

Pearl Harbor. The Great Depression. 9/11. Tim Duncan's birth. Herpes. It's time to add Gilbert "Hibachi" Arenas' recent knee injury to that list of most tragic events in US history.

Gilbert is not just the best basketball player ever to breathe air, he's also the best guy ever. In a poll of the world, Gilbert was voted #1 overall greatest person, with Mike Sellers and Dave Grohl tying for #2. Gilbert will now be out for at least a couple of months, but the pain caused by this setback will stay with us forever.

Maybe this is karma for the Manu Ginobili post from earlier, but I really think it's God's way of leveling the playing field. The only question I ask is, when the fuck are Tim "Fagboy McGee" Duncan's knees gonna give out? Hopefully, within the week.

I'd also like to give a shout out to Hurricane Gustav for doing work down south. Keep it up Gus.
